I have just received my SPVC550 and am generally very happy.

Have a question though.

I have created a directory on the SD card for some ringtones.

I used the registry application, as described in the FAQ, and changed the ringtone directory from \Windows to \Storage Card\Ringtones

However, when you go into Phone, Settings, Sounds and choose the Voicemail Notification one, the files are listed, but the phone just played the Ding sound. If you choose another option, it displays "This Ring tone is not working properly, you may want to choose a different one"

YET if you move down into, say, the SMS Toolkit Notification option, choose one of the ones that you chose before, it plays absolutely fine.

Ideas anyone ?

The error occurs on New Voice Message, New instant message, New channel message

AGH!


Bin everything you did with the registry editor, then create a folder on your Storage Card called "My Documents". Now dump an MP3 or WAV file into..

\Storage Card\My Documents

Try that - I'm 98% sure that'll allow you to have ringtones from the SD card.

Yep your right i have just tested it. i put a mp3 into \storage car\my doc and it worked fine as a ringtone! one thing i did notice though you can not put it into a sub folder like \storage card\my documents\music it has to be just in my docs!

Doesnt really resolve the problem.

Yes, I can still see the my WAV's and MP3's and they play ok... but the Windows files like Orange_4, Orange_3, Alarm1 - they just beep and cause the "Ring tone not working properly" error!

Ok, im going for a slightly different tactic.

Now that I know what you guys have told me about the My Documents folder on the SD, im going for a total wipe of the phone and starting again.

Wish me luck biggrin.gif

Me again,

What you said works, however, still doesnt resolve the Custom Ringtone thing.

Can I assign ringtones for an INDIVIDUAL CALLER (i.e. custom ringtones) from the SD card ?

I'm using an MPx 220 and I'd like to place my tones on my miniSD. What should I put under HKCU\SoundCategories\Rings\Directory to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.
