Ringtone stops then continues... - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi all,
I've got a Diamond with a wav ringtone.
When the phone rings, the ringtone starts, then stops for about 1/4 second then continues to play correctly...
The file is stored on the in the My Device / My Documents folder.
The file is about 2.5MB.
The file plays correctly when using media player and when previewing the ringtone in the notifications setup.
Any idea how to get it to play correctly when I receive a call instead of the slight stutter / pause?

Problem changing Ringtone

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.

HTC suddenly plays no more MP3s

I did a soft reset today, and after that my Kaiser wont play MP3s as Ringtones or via File Explorer (selecting an MP3 as Ringtone has no effect, it plays the "Windows Mobile Ring" Midi File). When selecting an MP3 via File Explorer it says that there is no program associated to this file extension (the symbol in the file explorer for mp3s also looks like unknown file type (the white rectangle with the windows symbol in it). When starting any MP3 Player (GS Player, Mediaplayer, Audiomanager) it plays every MP3 on the Phone properly. But when selecting an file via Fileexplorer or as Ringtone it wont work (WMA or WAV are still working as Ring by the way).
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.

Long Story:
My phone never rang when my brother called me at lunch time. I assumed forever that it was bad signal in my office. Turns out he's the last holdout in my contacts that has a midi ringtone (never changed it because I was used to that being him). I tried checking it finally and low and behold, only the most polyphonic of my ringtones worked... but the musical key was way lower than it was supposed to be on the few instruments that were actually playing.
Short Story:
I found your fix and now my midi ringtones work again.
Here's what confuses me:
Where did these come from?
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\midifile\Shellex\EventSoundHandl ers\{DDDC2AE0-9CA8-4fbb-A7B0-088B6D202749}]
@="Ring Tone Plugin Player"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\midifile\Shellex\EventSoundHandl ers\{FB6D5104-86AC-4f81-8382-237125FF82CE}]
@="RingTone-Plugin Player EX2"
I can only assume that something I installed hacked up that part of my registry, but any ideas what or why?

Sms Allert never stops

Hi there, I've copied some mp3 files in my \Application Data\Sounds folder and use them as my sms alert tone. There's just one problem, it never stops playing once I receive an alert. Plays the whole 3mins of the mp3, I have to reset my phone to make it stop. Is there any thing I can do to resolve this?
use the mp3 trimmer and shorten then length of the sound file to something like 10 - 15 secs or shorter if you wish
It will obviously play the entire mp3 file that you have set it as sms tone. Trim the existing file or select any other short length file for sms

Voicemail Notification Sound

Is there a way to set a MP3 as our voicemail notification sound?
Yes, you can have an mp3 as your notification sound
Find the mp3 you wnt and browse to your SD card. There should be a media folder there. Open the MEdia folder, then Audio, then Notifications
Drop the mp3 there
Unmount the Sd card then check your notifications. You should have that mp3 in there. Select it and yer good to go
You may want to shrink that mp3 into just a snippit of the whole song though. Getting a text message and having a song play would start to piss me off pretty fast since i get a lot of texts.

Added then removed .nomedia. Now no sound.

I added a .nomedia file to my notifications and ringtones folders to prevent them from being played in the shuffle for the music player. Then I noticed that my phone wouldn't ring or alert me for text and email so I removed the .nomedia file. But there is still no sound. I can play the sound when I am changing sound options. I checked to make sure all the system sounds were up and that sounds are set to play but nothing works.
For 1 isn't it dumb that we should have to hide notification folders and audio book folders from the media player. Shouldn't it just play from the music folder?
And 2, how can I fix my phone now so that it rings and alerts for messages?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have a ringtones folder located at /sdcard/ (so it is on internal storage) and none of my ringtones show in the media player. I have not tried audiobooks yet, but they could at least be put in one playlist, with all other songs in another playlist - then shuffle. you could even put ringtones in a separate playlist from songs if you can't figure out why they are not hidden.
you must reboot your phone so the system can reindex all media files . . .
