mid ringtones stop working

Hi, yesterday everything was OK, today my kaiser stops playing mid files as ringtone (WMP still playing that files). How can I repair this? Any solution?
regards

The same thing has happened to me...and still have not figured out what is wrong. The only thing i can think of is that i installed the new camera cab but even when i uninstalled it nothing happens...
Any thoughts???

Same here.
I have done some checking tonight. It seems to be most of the MIDI files I have uploaded to the phone that don't work as a ring tone but they did before.
They all work fine in Mediaplayer on the phone if you click on them in File Explorer.
Is very strange. I even moved then to the same directory as those that do work and still they don't work.

same thing here. And I too installed the new camera. sigh...

It happened to me before. What I did was to restore to a previous backup. I didn't know where I messed things up with a lot of installations I did.

It happened to me before with my Alpine device. The way I solved it is to use explorer like software (ex. GFinder+) to re-associate the MID file to the internal Media player and it's solved.
I think maybe some software mess around with the association and cause this problem.
Please let other know if this works or not if anyone tried

But this files are working with WMP (so there is nothing wrong with association), they just don't work as ringtone.

So, anyone found a solution to this problem???
I am having hard time with the original ringtones...
Nikos.

I have the same issue and eveb the hard reset does not work !

Fixing Ringtones
I had this problem and worked out how to fix it.
Look at the following Reg Key (change midifile to mp3file for mp3 issues)
Delete any EventSoundHandlers already in place and add this Key.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\midifile\Shellex\EventSoundHandlers\{245F94CF-DD9C-46F9-B4C8-D2B14A877893}]
@="XME EventSound Player"
Problem fixed.

Problem with music playing (touch-it wm6.1 19199.1.0.0)

So, having been a steady user of Touch-IT since 2.2 which was the first rom I flashed to, I really loved the feature where I could play music while having the music turned off. However, this seems to have changed with Touch-IT wm6.1 19199.1.0.0 - Full.
When I start Windows Media (or Audio Manager, I tested with both) and hit play, then push the power button, I it cuts the sound. This is rather annoying as it makes it hard to lock the phone with the power button (and thus saving power ) while still listening to music.
So what I'd like to know if anyone can confirm it - and if they can, if they have any solution for it; Alternately, anyone who has a solution is of course welcome to just post that.
Thanks in advance.

Another thing I'd like to know, is if it's possible to somehow keep Windows Media Player and WM6.1 synced in regards to music? I have an auto playlist which is set to grab music from a certain folder of a certain type (By genre: Podcast), because I like to listen to podcasts..
So what I want is basically to sync my phone like I did my ipod nano with itunes, back when I had that.. Has anyone any experience with this, because I'd like to know if it's possible.
EDIT: I found out how to do this, but now all I need to know is how to have the files automatically get deleted every time they're played through or everytime I sync and WMP finds that they've been played - I thought I had a solution to this, but apparently I don't.
My solution was to simply configure a auto playlist to not list any files which has a Last Played date of ever, so that it'd remove them from the auto playlist once they were played, but I can't seem to make that work.

Nope - none of those solutions seems to work. It's not that it pauses the music, the music keeps playing in the background so whenever I press the power button again I can hear it has progressed.
Either that, or everything described in those two threads don't solve it afterall.

Therefor i have it there

But that still doesn't help me as the solution posted on either of those pages doesn't work. They all involve just have it running in the background which I know it is, and they all mention that it pauses which mine doesn't.

Nope - nothing that I haven't tried (except tcmmp) has worked as a viable solution..
The only thing that tcmmp can do is it can turn the screen off with a button. Other that that, I don't like the player at all, so what I need to have is a solution to the problem that's not on the threads that I've found using google

even do this is a useless Topic I will announce this.

Windows media player won't open

Hi there, this is my first post on this great board.
First, thanks to all of you for helping me solve loads of problems with my Tilt. Thanks to xda-dev, my phone is really tricked out and great to work with (albeit with crippled video). This site is a fantastic resource, and populated with some very smart and talented people. I've been visiting this site every day since December, when I got my Tilt.
Up until now I've been able to solve all my problems just by reading the Wiki and searching, and I wouldn't start a new thread unless I'd already searched (MANY times) for an answer... but this one's driving me crazy.
Windows Media player will not open. When I click the icon, or an associated file, nothing happens. I don't particularly like WMP, I use CorePlayer instead... but WMP is needed for MP3 or WAV ringtones. So, when I try to select one, I get a message saying "This ringtone file is corrupt or unavailable."
The most relevant thread I could find was here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-266527.html. Obviously the problem didn't get solved.
While searching, I also read about some other player (Pocket Music, I think) has the capacity to kill WMP, but I've never installed it. I only use CorePlayer and TCPMP.
I've tried deleting the MSMETADATA and WMDRM folders, I've tried checking file associations, and a few other things as well... No luck.
My phone is a bone-stock AT&T Tilt, no custom ROM. I'm really trying to avoid a hard-reset. Does anyone happen to know a solution for this?
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.

Try uninstalling Core Media Player

Thanks for the quick reply... I've tried uninstalling CorePlayer (and lots of other things), with no luck.

By way of a shameless bump...
I should add that .AMR and MIDI files still work as ringtones, but every other (useful) format does not.
Also, I was wondering if anyone has some kind of .CAB file of the actual WMP files, just in case I can fix this with a reinstall. I don't really know how much it would help, since WMP is already in ROM, but I'd really love to solve this without a hard reset if I can.
Thanks again, everyone.

OK... I feel bad bumping this again, but I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I waited for a good month before I posted, trying to figure my own way out of this mess, and this is my last resort. This will be my last bump, I promise.
Has no one else run into this issue? Windows Media Player is dead. It won't open, and I'm fairly certain it's why my WAV or MP3 ringtones don't work.
I'd appreciate ANY ideas, no matter how off-the-wall they might sound... and if anyone has a cab file for WMP, that's also be a great help.
Thanks again for all you guys do.

Sounds like you have corrupted wmp registry, try the attached cab it will restore wmp registry (soft reset after install to apply changes).

Thank you VERY much, sakajati... but unfortunately, installing this cab (and soft-resetting) didn't work for me. I got pretty hopeful for a second there.
In case it matters, I got that post-install message about the software not working properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile. I'm on a stock, unflashed, noob-approved Tilt.

That's strange! that error message should not pop up if you are really running wm6, you can ignore the message since it's only a warning and is not an error.
Just curious, did you really install it on wm6 device?

Yes, my Tilt is running WM6 Pro. I haven't done any 6.1 upgrading.

Ok I've build full wmp10 installer for you, grab it while you can!

Wow... Thanks so much for going out of your way to help me here.
Bad news, though, it didn't work... I still get the same problem. I click the icon, and absolutely nothing happens.

Just switch to pocket music, it is light years ahead of WMP in my opinion. I needed a player that worked with my bluetooth headphones, had an equalizer and an easy playlist manager. WMP does fit in some ways but it's interface sucks.
Jeff

I agree Jeff, I mainly use TCPMP or CorePlayer... the only reason I want WMP to work is because while it's broken, I can't use MP3 and WAV ringtones.

I had the same problem in that for some strange reason my WMP refuse to start and the system always freezes forcing me to soft reset. Your cab has solved my problem. Thanks a million

Hi, I have the same issue with my Trinity running original WM5 rom. Is it possible to find a clear full WMP9 installer for it, so I can hope to fix this annoying problem ? Thanks !

I ended up having to hard-reset to fix the problem. I was about due for some spring cleaning anyway.

I have a stock rom Blackjack II AT&T branded phone and have experienced this problem twice now. The first time around I ended up hard-resetting the phone to get media player and mp3 ringtones to work again.
This time I've tried installing the "full wmp10 installer" cab so linked above in this thread, but still a no go.
If anyone has even an off-handed guess at what might be causing this problem and/or how I might fix it without a hard-reset I would be forever grateful to hear it!
It seems like this might be a recurring problem on this phone, so I'm desperate to either figure out what's causing it or at least come up with a reasonably quick fix for it when it does happen.

Hi!
Sorry have to bump this thread too. My WMP doesn't start any more and I don't really want to use backup from 2 weeks ago. I tried installing both cabs with no result.
Is there some kind of debugging feature that can be used to track down the problem?

Adding Music..

First off, Yes i did search.
I recently got my Touch Diamond, acctually 5 hours ago.
Now I am struggeling to get music on the device. Been doing it for 3 hours now, but nothing seems to work.
I selected ActiveSync on the touch phone, and then went to windows media player on the PC and synced music. but the device says "no music found".
Exploring the folders i noticed the music did get into the MUSIC folder.
And the application from the disc which was delivered within the box does not want to install at all..
What am I doing wrong? Am I just a stupid retard or does the device have some problem?

well, I didn't bother to use WMP at all. I hate WMP.
So I manually transferred the music to \Internal Storage\Content\Music

Did you try restarting your phone? Did you leave it on the music tab for a while?

I also tried mannually yes. and no it did not work.
Restarting the phone : multiple times and no didnt leave it on the music tab.
Im going to kill this stupid thing I am really getting frustrated by now!

same prob here.. manual says any subfolder of \Internal storage but music tab goessearching for a minute and then displays 'no music'. using Duttys 1.5 ROM.

Guys, first go to WMP and refresh the library from there. Then, HTC's player will see the new library. Also make sure you select \Internal.
Also see my just-posted related bible in the General forum.

Good to know that I am not alone...
A diffrent question: in the "internet" tab it says: open in browser "youtube" "explore windows moble" "HTC" How do I close these..
I dont know if my system is broke or that im a complete retard. anyways If i cant solve this ill sell my phone and get a normal phone instead of pda/smartphone -.-;''
EDIT: NVM, it said open internet browser not open IN. stupid mee..

Where in the "general forum" to find your tips?
How do you people copy all music in \internal?
All mp3 files together or something like:
\internal\bruce springsteen\magic
with all songs from that cd
then
\internal\bruce springsteen\born to run
.....
Thanks

The HTC does not find anything.
This thing will not last any longer if this goes on.. I am very impatient and get verry frustrated and the phone will look like a bashed up diamond soon enough.
EDIT: Now the phone does not find photo's funny, this was supposed to be my iphone killer but it seems that M$ Mobile is a phone killer to me.

It may sound pointless but create a folder on Internal Storage called Music and then put your music in it, do a soft-reset, switch to the Music tab and wait about 5 seconds. You should see the music then.
So it would be Internal Storage\Music\Indestructible (where Indestructible is an album)

When you take the stylus out of its place, there's a little red button inside the hole where the stylus goes- press it in with the tip of the stylus

Waited 5 seconds, and again no music found. What the **** is wrong with this thing

When you switch to the Music tab, does it say Searching? it takes up to 5-7 seconds sometimes. Also try clicking the Library softkey and see if you can't sort by Artist, Album, etc. What format are your music files in?

Dude, you saved my day and my phone.
It listed my 2 artist 30STM and Disturbed.
Also listed songs i previously deleted the original songs.
Thanks alot! Ill look into how i can get to to work normal later. Now I can finally Blow my arms of at the gym.
( I just needed music so badly @ the gym )

Excellent!
I wouldn't be surprised if it works normally from the Music tab now anyway. The phone has now "seen" your files so it should be fine. Put the attached file in your Indestructible folder incase you don't have it already, that way you'll get the album art in TF3D

Hotfix for resolving skipping during audio playback from HTC

I found this on worldwide htc site
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=140&cat=0&dl_id=577
installed without any problems (unbranded htc touch pro)

Thanks so much for posting this link. This has been my biggest problem with my Fuze.
I'd tried every suggested fix I could find for this problem ever since I first got the Fuze 11/08. HTC and third party media players, registry tweaks, huge caches, running on and off battery power, turning off equalization, etc.
But, no matter what, nothing that I did made a bit of difference. My WMA collection was subject to hiccups and stutters. Every few minutes at most I'd get a brief interruption, which gimped my phone as an all around media device.
But, now I've listened for about half an hour after installing the hotfix and at long last I'm golden! Thanks HTC for addressing this issue that is admittedly minor for most users, but was HUGE for me. That's how to build customer loyalty.

This is good news. Unfortunately, this exe won't run on custom roms.
I wonder if some kind soul might be willing to install this on a stock rom to see exactly what files and/or registry settings the installer changes (using SKTools or something) and then zip them up for us so we can test it...

It ran fine on NATF's v4.7. No idea what it did though. You can open the .exe in 7Zip and see the files though, so you might be able to work out what it does from that.
Cheers,

NATF 4.7 is a 6.1 rom, so that explains why it probably runs on it (I should have clarified that it won't run on newer build custom roms).
Anyway, thanks for the tip about 7Zip. I've extracted the contents and I'm looking over the xml files to see what it does. Looks like it installs a new OEM_Misc.dll, along with a couple other files, and a few registry entries. I may try to fiddle with it this weekend.

Have a look at this thread ... we ran into this a while, maybe it will be of assistance.

From this looks of this thread, Da_G was going to include the fix in his kitchen, although I still experience skipping audio sometimes.
I did a quick compare of the OEM_Misc.dll in Da_G's kitchen, the file in the other thread, and this one. The file in this Raph hotfix is smaller (by about 10kb) than the version in Da_G's kitchen and it is labeled version 5.11.0.0, as opposed to 5.0.0.0. The file in the thread you posted is even smaller yet (by about 7kb) and is labeled version 1.39.0.0...
I'm going to try copying this newest OEM_Misc to my Windows folder to see what happens. I'll post back later...

Update: I installed this new OEM_Misc.dll on my TP and ran it through my regular weekday audio test at the gym. After about 1 hour 15 minutes of straight music playback, I did not experience any of the skipping I had seen before. The only skip I noticed was immediately after the audio resumed after hanging up a call. Other than that, it seems to be a noticeable improvement.
I've whipped up a cab for anyone else that wants to try it out on a newer rom.

thanks hefman,
quick question before i install, is this cab uninstallable? just want to make sure i don't have to hard-reset if it doesn't work out for me

Works
Thanks very much. This worked for me with the 6.1 standard FUZE ROM. Before the Hotfix, every 20 seconds or so of audio playback I received a skip. It was very annoying and rendered the FUZE unusable as an mp3 player. Since the installation of the Hotfix, no more skips. I played several songs without a single skip or hesitation.

You should be able to uninstall the cab. However, if it won't uninstall, you can always use TotalCommander to delete the OEM_Misc.dll file from your Windows directory. A soft reset will then restore your rom's version of that file.

Can you please inform CDMA folks that this is not for them. I had to do hard reset (SPRINT Touch Pro). Thanks.

Anyway, I changed the name of my cab.
Strange though, the original HTC hotfix link does not say it is GSM-specific. Did you install the original exe or my cab?

seems to be working great! i have noticed however that my 'menu' soft-key for htc music player is not working anymore but it is probably due to a diff program b/c uninstalling the audio fix does not correct the problem..

Thank you very much for this. Just listened to around 20 minutes of music on pocket player (320kbps files) without any lags. Before it was rare if I got through a track without a skip.
