Helmi 1.4 vanilla: no ringtone heard...

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...

Where to put sound files in order to use them as alarm clock/ ringtone?

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

Set sound file as SMS ringtone?

Is it possible to set an mp3/wav file as SMS ringtone?
Didn't find a way.

Yes, it is. Go to Settings>Sound>Notification ringtone. It will prompt you to pick from the stock ringtones or music. This works for mp3. I haven't tried wav.
Alternately, you can create a /Media/Audio/Notifications folder/file structure on your SD card and throw in your custom or edited music files. The file will show up in the stock ringtones list.

[Q] adding ringtones

I am trying to add a ringtone, Pixie Dust. I downloaded the mp3. Placed it in the ringtone folder. Yet, it does not show up in settings > sounds. It seems that NONE of the mp3s in the ringtones folder will show up in sounds. They do play....

Ok, it was simple, once I figured it out. Simply go into es file explorer. Locate the .ogg file in download. Cut. Go to notifications and paste.

wtf i cant set a custom ringtone?

I tried to set a ringtone for the galaxy s10+.
Every time i try to change the ringtone, it tells me it cant set that file as ringtone. I tried ogg, m4a and mp3. They play fine with the media player on android, and also on pc.

I don't know how you set it as a ringtone, but what I always do is:
Connect my phone to the PC
Open file explorer and navigate to my Phone
Dig into the folder and find the folder named "Ringtones"
Then I just drag and drop or you can copy/paste the mp3 file of your choice there
After that, you go to your phone's sound settings and look for the file name of your mp3 file

I open up Samsung music, start the song in full page, and tap the 3 dots top right. Set As in the dropdown let's you choose Phone ringtone, Caller ringtone or Alarm tone.
