Not sure what your problem is as you just say it doesn't work, anyway open up AudioManager let your music library load if not already, Click on all songs and then on the song you want to use as your ringtone click and hold choose Set as Ring Tone\Set as Default Tone.

In 6.1, AT$T has limited the size of ringtones to 500Kb are your s larger ? If so trim them to work. I have also noticed that some files that my son had that were DRM protected would also not work.
I don't know if AT$T has put in a way to exclude DRM files.

Wow didn't know they had put a limit on the size of a ringtones, 500kb not big enough for any .MP3 ringtone.
Thanks for the info for future reference.
thanks a lot.. i'll see wat i can do...is there anyways that i could get rid of the the restriction? i guess at&t just wants us to buy ring tones.. lol.. well thanks for the help i appreciate it!!!!
Uhh...I don't believe MP3s are allowed as ringtones in WM6.1. I'm pretty sure it has to be a WMV.

I'm using an MP3 for a ringtone right now on my 6.1 Kaiser -- it just has to be in the right place. (and not too big, I guess)
/My Documents/My Ringtones
This .cab should fix the 500kb ringtone limit. I didn't make this by the way, it's all over the net.

Hi everyone,
I have two issues with my XDAIIs, ROM version 1.40.00 WWE.
First I use the four digit password because I don't wan't anyone to use my XDA at work (at least someone who doesn't know how to use it). Often when I've got an incomming call I'm able to answer but then the screen get stuck on the phone pad and I can't use it because it is waiting for the password. I've to reset it to unfreeze it. :?
Second issue: I've put a MP3 ring tone in the ring repertory and it was working but then the next day my XDA doesn't play it anymore and none of the MP3 seem to work as ring tone anymore. :?
Any idea?
Sorry for my English, I'm a frog living down under
Thanks.

It should normally work with your Rom ... now I may have an answer for that one: do you have PocketZenPhone or any other soft that would manage your profiles (... and rings !) ?

You are bloody lucky mate, I used to live in Sydney and this was GREAT. Guess you've heard about www.francedownunder.com.
c ya!
I Toche,
Thanks Mate for your reply.
Do you think PocketZen phone could correct my problem with MP3 ring tones?
And you're right, I'm bloody lucky to live in Australia!!!
We just love it! it's such a great country, people are so relax, polite and multicultural. Almost perfect!
thanks again mate!
Anyone for the password issue????? :?

Actually no :roll: , in a few words PZP (not the latest version) could have been a reason for your XDA not playing an MP3 file as ringtone.
If you have chosen an MP3 ring with the parameters>private>phone>... menu (and don't have any profile manager) then I really don't see why it's not working :evil: That SHOULD work... (really).
Re the password issue, I don't know if it a "known issue" but for sure I've already read the same pb elsewhere. Why not try desactivating and install another third party software that would do the same (sorry I can't thing about one right now...) just to test?
Hi,
Ok, cause wasn't working with MP3 format, I decided to convert my CD to WMA format and put it in the Rings folder and now my XDA is accepting it without a problem!!! (until now).
This solution is ok for my CDs but not for my MP3 on my PC... 8)
Anyway thanks for your help, I'm going to look for a password soft for PPC and see if it solves my problem. :?
I'll let you know anyway. :wink:
Thanks again.

Look for a (free) convertor for your MP3, at least Audacity can convert your MP3 into WAV (but siiiiiiiiiize !), I don't know about WMA :roll:

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.
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

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.

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

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 need some help. I have been trying to set a ringtone as a text notification but no luck! :[ I had no problem with this until after i deleted all that at&t junk. I've tried copy & paste into windows file and ringtone file. Someone anyone HELP ME! THANKS!
more info required
you would need to say what rom you are using?, what format the tones you are using are in ?, what exactly are you trying to put in the windows folder?
have you tried any other apps to achieve this.. which app were you using to do it before? what did you remove?
i use ringo (comercial software) but there are freeware options out there with a bit of searching... i seem to remember seeing a mortscript that was set up to do this somewhere on xda. which users seemed to report worked quite well.

I use the stock rom. I haven't upgraded to any other rom. I am trying to put a song into the windows file so i can change the text notification to the song of my choice. I have not tried any other apps only because i know of none. lol. I'm not sure what app i was using if any. But all i remember is i had absolutely no trouble with this until i deleted the at&t junk on the tilt. By the way i appreciate your help. My apologies for not responding sooner.
Oh, i forgot to mention the formats: mp3 and wmv. The ringtone that i want is set to mp3. It was mp3 the first time it worked and it still is mp3 and now it doesn't work.

All mp3's need to be associated with Media Player or else they will not play as ringtones. Perhaps you have installed another music player which has changed the file associations. You need to change it back to WM Player. Let us know if this is your problem.
Hasta luego,
MAC
Is the ringtone over 500KB? When I still used AT&T stock ROMs, I learned that files over 500KB would not work as ringtones unless I installed this fix. Hope that helps,
Dave
(And I assume you're putting the potential ringtones in \My Documents\Ringtones)
So i figured out how to put songs as a ringtone. So now i want a song as a text notification. And nothing seems to work. :[ Also i installed xda-team_manilla2d.cab and the weather isn't working it wont allow me to add a location and the settings sounds tab isn't working either. help?

Unfortunately, all other notifications need to be wav files.

Well thanks. So what about the weather problem and the settings sounds tab in manilla 2d? Why wont it allow me to add a location? And why wont it allow me to go to the sounds tab in settings when using the manilla touchflo thingy? lol
Is there any way to change the built in Samsung click sound? You know, the sound you here everytime you tap on a new applications, opens a new mail in gmail or what ever. I know that you can turn it off in the settings menu, but I want to change the sound to one of my own. Is it possible? And If that's the case, how do I do it? Is it as simple as locating the sound file in the Note, and replace it with my sound and name it exactly the same?
EDIT:
I think I found it. The system files are located in system/media/audio/ui
I'm about to back those files up, and replace them with mine. I know I have found the right files, cuz when i renamed the "lock.ogg" to "1lock.ogg", the sound went away.
Lets give it a shot!
EDIT 2: Success! Will be working on some nice modifications now.
Thats great!! Im actually planning to do this also... By the way, would it work if i woulf just change the filename extension to .ogg? Or should i use some software to convert from mp3 or wav to ogg to use on the phone?

That i dont know. I consverted some wav files to .ogg files. But hey, give it a try. Just remember to back things up before you mess with any system files.
