Guest Gashead86 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Hi There, I have had my omnia now for a good 6 months and am on the whole happy with it. The only thing I have never ever been able to do is set MP3's as ringtones and its driving me mad!! I have tried all the tips on this forum and none of them work! If i save them in the various suggested file paths and hold the file down, the menu pops up but there is no option to save as ringtone. I have also located the files in the media album, if I try and select 'set as ringtone' in the media album i get the following message..'this ringtone is not working properly. You may want to use a alternative'. So no matter what i try I seem unable to use MP3's as ringtones! Any suggestions guys?? Cheers
Guest necosino Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Find the .mp3 you want to use in the file explorer. Hold it to bring up the context menu and select "Set as ringtone" WinMo will copy the .mp3 to your ringtones folder and set it as a selectable ringtone in the sounds and notifications area...

Hi there, thanks for your responce. Unfortunatley when I hold down the mp3 i want to use I dont get that option pop up.
Guest necosino Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Maybe try a different ROM. I know all the i910's ROMs have that option, at least.
Guest DannyBoii Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Maybe try a different ROM. I know all the i910's ROMs have that option, at least. Ive Got a i900V (Not Sure What The V Means But Thats What It Says On The Box) And I Set MP3's As Ringtones With The Same Method Used Above Jus Navigate To Them Using File Explorer And Then Hold And Select 'Set As Ringtone' ;)
Guest Jokes On You Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Maybe try a different ROM. I know all the i910's ROMs have that option, at least. i900's also have that option.
Guest necosino Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Right, so I think he just needs to flash to another ROM..
Guest pallen Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Check your mp3 file. Maybe try a different one. I wonder if there are certain bitrates or such that are not supported? You can also try converting it to wma, but I have had several MP3s with no problems on several different roms.
Guest yojoe600 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 yea i have no problem getting them to work
Guest bga7x Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 here is an app that will take care of it for you it also has a mp3 trimmer to save memory! HTC_Audio_Manager_2.0.cab
Guest bpivk Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Unfortunatley when I hold down the mp3 i want to use I dont get that option pop up.You have to use the windows file explorer not Resco file explorer or anything like that.
Guest Jokes On You Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 You have to use the windows file explorer not Resco file explorer or anything like that. or use file explorer extension. It enhances windows file explorer with more options. You can find it here
Guest Yunabeco Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Got no problem setting up ringtones on mine. I just make on my PC a 30 or 40 second mono MP3 file encoded with lame encoder at quality 0 that I drop on \My Storage\My Documents\My Ringtones for contacts' ringtones, and \My Documents\My Ringtones for my main one (else it won't load during boot). Oh, and no special characters. For notifications I drop a MP3 or WAV on \ or \Windows.
Guest aceofrazgriz Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 as Yuna said, "\My Documents\My Ringtones" is the ringtone path, just drop the file in there, go into the Sounds menu and it should be selectable. If not... you got something really screwy going on.
Guest nossy_89 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Saw this on another forum, if u want to save space then in my storage make a folder called My Ringtones and copy the file there, it should come up in yr ringtone list.
Guest tokkong Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 i once has problem of ringtone not ringing, found out that is because i set the default player to be pocketmusic instead of touch player. if your default player of mp3 file is not touch player then most prob have the problem
Guest norm883 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Hello: I use this MP3 Trimmer and it works wonderful. Just load the cab file, setup and begin to use. Have had no problems. Cut and trims the song to exactly whay you want. Cab file can be found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412410 Norm883
Guest doitall76 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 I have run into the same problem as the original post. I now recognize that the File Explorer is not identifying these mp3 files as Windows Media files (the icon beside the file is different). It uses WM Player to open them, but it doesn't give me the option to "set as ringtone" as it does with the other files that it has the WM icon beside the name of the file. "> I know that I can copy and paste the file onto the device memory in order for it to be recognized, but is there anyway to map the ringtones to a folder in My Storage? That way I am not eating up a lot of memory? Doitall76
Guest LuigiSlowHand Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 i have the mp3 that i used as ringtones on the My Memory folder it works fine for notifications and ringtones hope it helps
Guest pacman9889 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 I use VITO ringtone editor and it works great. You can then save the ringtones to the /Windows/Rings folder or assign them from VITO and they will be recognized. It used to be free, but it seems its 7 bucks now. You might be able to find the old version though.
Guest dc3 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 adding a folder called my ringtones does the trick for me... ;)
Guest GodsGift Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 If you copy sounds (mp3's etc) to the device/application data/sounds/ folder then they will appear in the drop down in the sounds and notifications dialogue box. This is the easiest way. GG
Guest sys_error Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) The easiest is to copy MP3 to the root of My Storage, then select them as Ringtone in Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notification tab. I cannot help thinking that i'm talking to a baby. If you really cannot set MP3 as ringtone, you should dial your local Samsung support long ago rather than wait 6 months ;) .

Not the nicest way to talk to someone who's asking for help ... jeez. who took the jam out of your donut ? GG
Guest camz Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Creating another My Ringtones works for me.. More storage space ;)
