Weird problem with ringtones - Page 3

To do a Hard Reset on a Tilt - - - > The method to hard reset is to hold the two soft keys (the two with the "-" dash on them) while pressing the reset button (hole on the bottom.) In other words when it's reset if you're holding those two buttons you'll initiate a hard reset.
It'll ask you to confirm by pressing the green phone button (the send button).

Okay so I hard reset it

I took one song from my storage card and put it under my device/Application Data/sounds

Then I went to settings/sounds and notifications/notifications selected Event: phone: incoming call ring tone scroll box and my song isn't there.

But when I go to sounds and notifications/notifications and then choose event Phone missed call then different boxes appear which is play sound, display message on screen, flash light for then a box for the amount of minutes, and a box to check vibrate. Mind you these options weren't available for me when choosing a sound for an incoming call, the only options that I had for choosing an incoming call were ring type and ring tone, with a play and stop button. (Not sure if this makes a difference)

So I go back to the Event: Phone: Missed call box and I check the Play sound box and guess what...my ringtone is an available option. I also notice that I have more default rings to choose from when I select the missed call option verses the incoming call selection. Is this just a problem with windows 6.1? This never happened with windows 6.0

Also I never right clicked the song after it went into the Applications Data/ sounds folder.

By the way I did all of this before I installed any programs on my phone, however when I installed G-Alarm back on my phone it had the songs and the times that I had saved for my alarms. If I did a hard reset, why did it save my settings for my alarms, even though I had to re-install G-Alarm? Also I have a few files on my storage card that have a windows symbol with an empty square next to them, can I delete these files? There shouldn't be any system files stored on my memory card they should all be on my actual phone correct?

That is weird... Well... At least your phone is fixed now... If you did a Hard Reset, all the windows files should be on the phone and the one's on your storage card are duplicates... So I say yes, you should be safe to delete them... I am happy you were able to remedy the problem!

I actually wasn't able to fix the problem, the ringtone that I put in the application data/sound folder was only available for my missed calls notification, not my incoming phone calls, so I'm guessing no one knows what to do?

I just downgraded back to 6.0 and I have no problems, I guess 6.1 has some problems.

Thanks anyways guys.

So I did a search for my problem and it seems like this is a common issue for Tilt users who upgrade to 6.1 for some reason. When I had my black jack one, I couldn't use any music file as a ringtone. I had to adjust it threw PHM registry. Looks like Tilt users who upgrade to 6.1 have to do the same thing. Here are some websites for those who may have this same problem I am STILL dealing with.

For those who don't have a PHM registry file when you go to this website

a few people like myself had problems with the desktop version that you would download threw active sync so download this version the Pocket PC 2002,2003 (ARM/PX)

I'm still trying to figure out what is going on with my ringtones. I had two of my ringtones show up but the others still did not, so I think I have to play with the size. I'll keep you all posted if I ever get this fixed. I took a look at the size of the file of the ringtone that I want to use and I noticed that it is smaller than the rest of my ringtones. For example, the ringtone that I want to show up and that did show up is 595k the default ringtones are like 42.3k with the highest being 114k. The other ringtones that I want are much larger like 2.60M. So I am guessing this is an issue that has to do with the size of the file and not windows recognizing the file type. So I will keep playing with the PHM registry and see what I come up with.

FINALLY! So it was an issue with the file size, I basically set the PHM to a terabyte and now its showing all of my ringtones. If anyone knows a Tilt user with these same issues refer them to this thread. Thanks diesel and Shaun for the help
