C500 Ringtones

[Guest Kharn]

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem?

I wish to use my own mp3's, wma's and wav's as ringtones, however after placing the files on my phone I can not select them as ringtones in the sound menu (they simply don't appear).

I can access the files as music via Media Player, but that is of no use to me.

Generally I place the files in the following location (although I have tried others): Storage>Sounds

Any and all help appreciated ^_^

Put the wma files on the storage card, mp3s arent supported and wav files are little large.

Putting them on the storage card ensure the phone memory doesnt get filled up. If the memory does become full the phone will slow and you will have errors/bugs etc

I have found they only get picked up if they are in either "StorageMy Documents" or "Storage CardMy Documents"

Basically they have to be in the top level of the My Documents folder on the phone or the card to be picked up in the ringtone selection dialog.

Shame about not being able to use MP3s and strange too.

no if you put them on the root of the sd card (not in a folder) it works fine ^_^

Cheers people. I haven't tried anything yet but I will tomorrow and I'll let you know if it works or not. Thanks again. ^_^

Can I just get confirmation that MP3 files are not supported as ringtones on the C500 then?

[Guest Kharn]

Well, I finally managed to try it out and placing the file in my Storage root directory did the job just fine. So thanks again everyone.

ukmidsguy: It's true, the phone definitey doesn't support mp3's as ringtones. It's quite annoying. ^_^
