I tried searching and did not see a similar topic, so I am posting this new one.
I have tried to move a ringtone to \windows\rings
I have tried to adapt the registry setting to change the ring directory to a different place
I have confirmed that I am using the Ring option for the Ring Type, as opposed to Vibrate or any of the other settings under the settings-->phone menu--I do see the ring tone options and have tried the windows ones as well
Any other suggestions I can try to enable ringing?
i put my ring tones in ram disk.(wave files)
Thank you for your reply. I tried to switch my ringtone folder to Storage Card and RamDisk--though the ringtones appeared as options, they would not play when the phone rang.
Are there other things I can try?
i just put ring tone in ram folder.
not ring tone folder in ram.and used wav file.not mp3.

what media type is your ringtone? wav, mp3, wma? all of these types can be used when located in \windows, \windows\rings, \Ramdisk root & \Storage Card root.
may i suggest trying out one of the default PPC ringtones if it plays when moved into any of the directories above.

I tried moving copies of the files into the folders you mentioned--it showed the duplicates as options for the ringtones, but unfortunately did not work. I used the oldphone.wav. Any other ideas?
opps
thought you whould have change the name a little
like putting a 1 in front of the tone name.
I just ended up reinstalling the ROM. Not sure what the cause was... as I uninstalled everything I added... Oh well... all is good now...

I recently moved the registry path for the ringtones to the storage card and then back to the Windows directory. Now in the sound settings it will recognize the mp3 files but not play them or allow them to be the final selection. I have tried changing the ringtone registry to different locations and in sound setting it will not play or allow selection of any mp3 in any folder. WMA's will still play and are selectable. Any ideas? I really don't want to change the mp3 every time I want a different ringer.
This is driving me mad! For the life of me my Kaiser won't let me change the phone's ringtone from the standard. When I open an MP3 in audiomanager then choose set as ringtone, I get the error message "there was an error copying the ring tone to \my documents\ my ringtones. The ringtone could not be set. Please verify you have enough room on your device and try again", i've even tried manually copying mp3's to the \my ringtones directory, I can view them but they don't play in the ringtone selection screen (they play OK in audiomanager), even if I select a different mp3 in the sounds and notifications screen and select OK, my kaiser defaults automatically back to the standard ringtone. Oh, there's loads of space free as well - about 47mb.
Any ideas?
mp3 extension
Did you change the program for the .mp3 extension?
I noticed the same behaviour when I assigned the mp3 extensions to MortPlayer:
my ringtone would revert back to the default and choosing the mp3 ringtone wouldn't work.
After unchecking the mp3 extension within MortPlayer, I could choose a mp3 ringtone again.
Thanks a lot dude - will give this a go.
Hello everyone,
audio manager searches the whole phone for mp3s. since i have quite a few mp3 ringtones it is very annoying when htc audio manager thinks the mp3 ringtones are music files too.
is there any way that i can make htc audio manager only search a specific folder on my wings for music? this way i wouldnt have to remove the entries everytime or i wouldnt have to make new playlists every time...
thanks
no solution right????????
Sure...
Place your ringtones in the path noted in the registry value:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager\ring_tone_path
Default value: \My Documents\My Ringtones\
Done.
Now help with my _setup.xml
this solution doesnt work because the sound files from the windows operating system are still included in the default playlist of the player. so for example im listening to music, then suddenly i hear the "battery empty" sound and it scares the **** out of me because i think my phone ran outta battery AGAIN
that's interesting. those sounds don't show up in my library.
That is very weird, I dont have those sounds either, could you have changed something somewhere that import's every music file on the phone & card?
Guys I have a about 1 GB of music on my memory card and guess what the HTC Audio manager does not play music anymore. It shows me all the tracks I can scroll through the list but as soon as I press the button to play it pauses and then reboots the phone.
Howevr, I can play the same music via the windows music player. So there is nothing wrong with the memeory of the music tracks.
Any suggestions
Call HTC Tech support, reset the phone to default settings. Sounds like something is causing an error and then a reboot. Or something infected the phone and now its sick. I would reset the phone first then call HTC and see if they can help. Plausable they shipped it out with a bug...
I think the newer versions of the HTC audio manager uses a different registry entry device_scan_path and device_scan_path_path0
just enter where your music files are located under these entries and put the ringtones somewhere else. this worked for me.
I too am look to solve this problem... I had downloaded a bunch of extra sounds for my verious notifications. currently I have them stared on my sd card \Storage Card\My Documents. My Music is on \Storage Card\Music. When I start up AudioManager it finds the files in both folders. I changed the 2 registry key and put them both the same witch place the songs 2x in the library and I also tried leaving the second entry black. both occasions the files from noth folders were in there.

Have you tried moving your ring tones and such music off the SD card and into the handset location for that type of audio file? Also check in audio manager, I havnt looked recently but I thought you could tell it to check only the SD card? Maybe I am just loopy (wouldnt surprise me)...

I'm not suggesting you move your music, just the files that are not for musical enjoyment, the other misc sounds that get used for ring tones etc off the card. Its been a while since I have been in audio manager and will have to play around with it.

THats what I am talking about also... I dl a zip file with a bunch of sound (not music) too much to move to the device
Hmm I recall Audio Manager having more options, but I am not always with it
If I have the time I can take a peak into the registry but others are more aptly suited for such an adventure.
For now my suggestion (if you have not already done this) is make play lists, I dont know how much you have as music and how much is random audio clips. You can also try going through and removing some of the audio clips you are not using? With playlists at least while the program may list all the music files on the card the ones you dont want to hear wont be in your playlists so you wont have to worry about them quite as much...
I have the same problem. I've modified also the registers but there is no effect.
Thx for help, i had the same problem on HD2
Hello,
When i am trying to set a windows mobile, or any other ring tone that's on my phone defaulted, they aren't there. As in
I click on sound setting, incoming call on the drop down, and then when i click on tone, none of my songs are there..
BUTT
When i click on incoming text message, and search, all the songs are on the drop down!
How can i get my songs to my incoming call instead of text message?!
Thanks, Tiler
Where are the files stored?
what rpm version are you using? Are you trying to set the whole song as a ringtone? I had a similar issue and solved it by using MP3 trimmer to trim down a song to a specific time or section. Then placing that file under 'my ringtones' under 'my documents'...
im storing them under my storage card. then i cut them and put them in the ringtone folder in the phones memory. Just dont understand why the other defaulted songs are not allowed to be a ringtone either.
Are you running an AT&T ROM? They limit the max size of a ringtone to 600k.
I store all of my ringtones in \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones\ and I never have an issue with them not showing up. However, any files you want to use for alerts need to be in \Windows\.
yeah im just runnin the att rom so it must just eb the file sizes are to large. Just am not understanding the fact i can set the song as my txt tone, but the ringtone i cant. Ill investigate more and try out more variations of where im storing them, file size, etc.
Hi all,
I want to use my own MP3-Files for alarm clock/ ringtone, however, I cannot select the files for these applications.
As far as I can see, there are three music-folders on the device, \MUSIC, \WINDOWS\HTCTone and \WINDOWS\Rings.
Wherever I put my MP3-files, I cannot select them in the browser of the alarm clock/ ringtone app. Are there any additional registry entries needed? Or doesn't the TD2 accept MP3s for these purposes?
Thanks in advance,
Caroline
You can place MP3 files for ringtones into My Documents / My Ringtones and files for sms notification must be in windows folder. I tried to use mp3 files for alarm clock but without avail. I think it must be wav or wma file in windows directory also.
Edit: I've tried it and it must be .wav file.

hi bro, so u put the *.wav file into which folder? thanks.
Hi, .wav file I put into windows folder and it's displayed in Ringtone menu.
On Polaris it's in
Device\Application Data\Sounds\
From there mp3s are working for SMS/MMS notifications... Reminders too...
for ringtone u can put it in storage card, must be at the main page, not inside any folder
