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.

winthropdc: Dude, you're awesome.
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?

Ringtone

Hello,
When i am trying to set a windows mobile, or any other ring tone that's on my phone defaulted, they aren't there. As in
I click on sound setting, incoming call on the drop down, and then when i click on tone, none of my songs are there..
BUTT
When i click on incoming text message, and search, all the songs are on the drop down!
How can i get my songs to my incoming call instead of text message?!
Thanks, Tiler

Where are the files stored?

what rpm version are you using? Are you trying to set the whole song as a ringtone? I had a similar issue and solved it by using MP3 trimmer to trim down a song to a specific time or section. Then placing that file under 'my ringtones' under 'my documents'...

im storing them under my storage card. then i cut them and put them in the ringtone folder in the phones memory. Just dont understand why the other defaulted songs are not allowed to be a ringtone either.

Are you running an AT&T ROM? They limit the max size of a ringtone to 600k.
I store all of my ringtones in \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones\ and I never have an issue with them not showing up. However, any files you want to use for alerts need to be in \Windows\.

yeah im just runnin the att rom so it must just eb the file sizes are to large. Just am not understanding the fact i can set the song as my txt tone, but the ringtone i cant. Ill investigate more and try out more variations of where im storing them, file size, etc.

Changing sound SMS

Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to change the sound of an incoming message into an mp3 file or so? I can change it in the standard sounds but want to use my own file. Is it possible?

Of course it is ! Not easy to guess at first, but I found a way to enable this.
You basically need to copy your .mp3 file (and remember its name to locate it after in the list) in the Windows folder of your device. It's a little long to load, don't be afraid, but then just paste the mp3 file in the windows folder, nowhere else, at its root.
Finally, go to sound configuration (parameters, system...) and set your mp3 file as the default SMS tone.
Enjoy !

That didnot work for me. It works when I press the "PLAY" button when configuring it but the only way it sound when I get a SMS is if I use a .wav file on the Windows folder mp3 dont work for me on SMS althoug the work on call tunes.

convert it to .wav then

Ringtone stops then continues...

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?
