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.

I can't assign mp3's as ringtones anymore for some reason.
They used to work, but now Windows doesn't allow me to even select them from the list of all available ringtones (they are listed, but when selecting them and pressing "ok", Windows automatically selects the next song from the list, which is in mwa format)
When I convert my mp3's to mwa, they can be played.
No one having the same kind of problems?
I can't set mp3's as ringtones or sms-sound. But I can play those same mp3's with AudioManager, with Mediaplayer, TCPMP and with Gsplayer.
Wav and mwa files can still be used (lucky me)
Is there perhaps a default player or some setting in the register that points to a default player that needs adjustment?
Had same problem before
I also experienced this problem before. I found out that in order for mp3's to work as ringtones, they had to be associated with windows media player. To fix this, go to GSPlayer, TCPMP, and any other media player you have, go to their respective settings, and uncheck Mp3 as a file association. Your mp3 ringtone should work now.
I have my mp3s associated with tcpmp and can assign them as a ringtone just fine. Not sure how you are assigning them, but this is how I do it.
Open file explorer, browse to mp3s, click-hold the mp3 I want as ringtone, choose "set as ringtone" from the context menu.

Ahh, thanks a lot. That seems to be it!
At least I was thinking in the good direction with that default player

This is exactly what I did when I had the same problem. Those file associations will cause you some problems.

If it works just fine with you with TCPMP, then the problem must lie with Gsplayer, since that was my default player for mp3's.
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.

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.
This could be easily done on my previous phones, how can I do it on my Xperia now?
Copy the file to your Device\windows folder or Storage Card\My documents folder. then change your ringtone in Settings\Personal\Sounds and Notifications
or you can click and hold down on the selected mp3, wait til menu appears and set as ringtone, simple
i have a certain .mp3 file that i want to use as a ringtone. i do my usual drag and drop like all my other ringtones. but this specific file wont play or have no audio on the captivate. it plays but no sound at all.
ive tried converting it to MP3/WAV/eAAC+/AC3/FLAC but still no sound coming out from captivate.
post the file. your other mp3 music plays fine? you can assign them to ringtones ok?

Hi everyone! this is my first post! I hope you can help me
I look in others threads and didn't find it.
What I want to do, is save my own ringtones on the telephone memory to able to pick any of those ringtones from the default list.
My phone is already rooted and I use the Root Explorer.
I know that the default ringtones and notification sounds are in
/system/media/audio (/ringtones or /notifications)
the music in the file are in ogg, so I convert my ringtones from mp3 to ogg
I fill all the information of the ringtone (artist - title - etc)
and put the file there. Then I noticed the permissions of the rest of the ringtones, so I changed too. And beside of that, it still not working.
I know that if I create a file with the name ringtones or notification in the sdcard I can see those ringtones from the default list, but that is not what I want. I want to be able to choose ringtones from the phone memory. It's doesn't matter if is not on the default list.
if any of you know how to do that, please help me
Thanks for the read!
and bye!
You can choose your ringtone through the music application.
I don't know about notifications..( I choose it through GO SMS app)

You don't have to convert the file type from mp3 to ogg,, u just have to put that mp3 file in /system/media/audio/notification or ringtones. (remember to mount system permission as r/w).
After that, reboot your device and change ringtone through setting menu,,

ok.. I did the same thing.. used root explorer to copy the ringtone to the phone memory.
saved it in system/media/audio/ringtone
but my music player didn't show it..
so I deleted an existing ringtone "breeze.ogg" and renamed my file as the same . now the sound picker shows breeze but it plays the ringtone I made...!
