Hi. I have the HTC Touch...and I'm hoping someone can please help me!!!
I got my phone just 2 and a half weeks ago and I dont know if I love it or not.

I'm trying to add my custom mp3's...as ringtones. I've clipped them using MP3 trimmer....and tried assigning them ...by going to settings/sounds & notifications/notifications...and then scrolling down to selections like "incoming call", "missed call", "text messages", "email messages".

But here's the thing.

everytime I assign one....i'll use my mum's cell and call my phone. my phone won't use the ringtone I assigned (ie: my mp3 one) and will instead revert to one of the one's it came with (ie: notify). It resets all the ringtones, which I already changed to my custom preferences, to the custom factory one's.

I've tried so many things I'm beyond frustrated. Can you help me?

i believe your custom ringtones are supposed to go into your ringtones folder that is under My Documents. Then you can assign specific ringtones to people using your contact manager. That's what i do.
Also, try changing the rintone through phone settings instead of through sounds and notifications and see if that helps.

Put your ring tones in your Windows -Rrings folder.
Use your file exsplorer and go to "My Device - Windows - Rings" and drop them in there. Then go to your phone settings and change them from there under Sounds and Notifications.

impulse I've tried that already. I'll set my ringtones to custom one's for my texts and incoming calls. And my ringtone for incoming calls will be fine...but as soon as I get a text...my phone reverts back to the stupid factor settings. i've tried deleting some of the factory ringtones....but 3 of them won't go away. and i can't delete them from "Windows"

Have you tried, as dicussed many times before, placing the MP3 files for the SMS, e-mail, and voice mail alerts, in the \Windows root directory?

That's how I have them working.

if i am not mistaken, only ringtones can be mp3's text notifications and alerts need to be wav's.
Also, for alerts, txt etc, then need to be in the windows dir.

I agree with Deck and Pibe. I have several ringtones in the Windows directory, and they are all working fine.
