Hi guys,
I had my kaiser for about a month but I've never tried to change ringer until now.
Of course I'd like to use an MP3 ringer, but I wasn't able to choose a file from the SD card... I had to copy the file to the ring directory on the phone memory.
I'm sure there is another way to do it, but how??
Ah, well, I've actually used the search button, but it comes out with hundreds of ROM posts and I got lost...
Thanks for helping.

Go to your mp3 file, press and hold a pop up menu will appear with" set as ringtone " as an option.

Anyway to make the phone read the file in the memory card?
Sorry for the 1001st question of the same kind man, but I really wasn't able to find anything.
Thank you for helping.

No there are certain files related to the day to day operation of the phone that would confuse the phone if they were missing, the ringtone is one of them.
You can store your ringtones on your card, but to use them they must be in the windows folder in your device memory.
By the way Welcome to the Forum. Read much and explore there is a lot to learn here.

Thank you. It's what I'm doing and so far I think this is one of the best forums I've EVER read.
i just got the tilt/kaiser also. i tried to copy the song into the windows directory of the phone and i also tried the "set as ringtone" option but it didn't work. any ideas?
\Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones\
And if you are running a stock AT&T ROM, then you also need to edit the registry.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds]
"FileSizeLimit"=0

Copy them all to "My documents\my music" on your phone
ok so i have done that....and it shows up in the options to choose as ringtone but not for any other options...like text message or mms or email...am i doing something wrong or those just can not have ringtones as there notification sound
are the .mp3? try to convert them to .wav for notifications other than ringtones. i've noticed that it varies by rom whether it would take a wav or an mp3 as a notification.
I slept through all 3 of the useless sounding alarms id set on my kaiser this morning and iv finally had enough. iv done a search for this and i know i need to convert the sound (song in this case) and put it in the windows directory. I have done this but when i go to the alarm, click on the little bell and scroll down to it, it wont let me select the song/sound i want. Each time i try to select it, it just changes to default and plays the 'ding'.
is there any way round this? (i dont want to pay for any alarm software)
thanks
edit:excuse the spelling in the title
A) What file format are you dropping in the \Windows directory?
B) How big is the file? Stock AT&T ROMs have size limits defined in the registry for ringtones and other sounds.
thanks for the response.
The file is a .wav file and it is around 38.1mb in size. Think that might be my problem, never realised the file was so big!

That is a little big . I would try cropping it down to 3MB or less and trying again.

Try putting it in the Windows folder.
Cheers,

same thing i've been trying to figure out when i got the phone. I tried putting it in the windows rings folder but that didnt work as well. i made a tone thats even shorter then the stock ones but it still doesnt show up when i go to the sounds and notifications settings... HELP!
Make sure it's on wma format and put this on windows folder. Working well for me.

Just to clarify. The file needs to go in /windows/ NOT /windows/rings.
Yes, you have to put it on the windows folder in wma format and after you can see it wen you go to NOTIFICATION. I do that with new message and new email. Work's fine. For ringtones work's too.

This has been asked and answered a million times, please search and you would have found it.
The easiest place to put all sounds so they can be used as either ringer, email notifications, sms/mms is to go to file explorer, my device, application data, then sounds. Place them in there. If you want to use a particular sound for an alarm then place those sounds in your windows folder.
hey guys.
Just a simple request to those who you have the time to do so.
I recently installed Gtrab's W4X WM6.5 Cooked Rom but didn't realise it had a lot of the ringtones included with the xperia missing.
I've searched the forums and found the odd file containing ringtones taken from handsets but they are different tones.
Could you please copy and zip all the ringtones from the Windows folder from a default Xperia rom and upload it to the internet for me please
Cheers,
Hyped
I need them too. can somebody please post them?
Thank you
Press me softly....
Thank you for your help, however, unfortunately, these are not the ringtones I need.
I'm not sure where they're saved but there are some ringtones called like Alarm1, Alarm2, Alarm3 and such. And it's in this location I need the ringtones. I think they are scattered throughout the Windows folder admist the system files.
So, could you possible collect and zip these please

but, I saw your file and nice, it is here...For me, seems you posted the softly good one..
Big thanks, but, now, the next step...I think, we need to open the registry somehow, to insert the ring tone we really crave for it, and I think it must be a post somewhere, but, where....

Extract the rar file on your computer, connect device via active sync, once syncing click "explore" and your my documents folder should be visible, move the extracted mp3 ringtones to this folder. Hope that helps
Thx
But does anybody have also the ringtones for sms ?
There is one ringtone, i really miss on the ROM´s, but i do not remember the name
Its gonna be difficult if you don't have the name. I used dreamland on the stock rom.
the ringtones used by the sms tone are stored in the windows root folder, can u upload them ?

I flashed energy rom so i don't have the stock ones at hand
There is a thread or two around here somewhere with a link to all the OEM ringtones / sounds etc. I'm not sure what it was titled though.
It was a rar file and nearly 38mB in size.
:edit Found it. I used the top secret 'Search' button. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526164
thx guys
Btw. the rington was Meadow
Beat me to it Steve_TLS
sweet. thx for the help here. not that ringtones are hard to come by but there was a ringtone i really liked to use and now im used to itl lol. when there is a different tone ringing i dont always notice its MY phone hahah.
so I forgot how to set up the folders in my SD card to make my own notification/ringtones/alarm rings. does anyone remember? thanks!
I'm pretty sure that if you run a search you'll find it...
However you just need to make a "media" folder on the root of your SD Card, then an "audio" one. Then you can dump the rest of your files there in folders, like alarms, notifications etc.
EDIT: If this answers your question could you please put in [SOLVED] in the title of the post so people know/it can be closed. Thanks.

yup. i remember when all i had to do was just create a folder in the root of sd and would show up...but i guess now i have to do media -> audio ->notification/ring tone. thaank you.
No worries. I remember when I first got my G1 I was wondering why it wasn't working as well, all before the craze of rooting and that was available. I think even in the G1 manual it states that you needed to create folders for it to pick up. Its a long time ago though since I last looked at it!
