ringtones and alarms missing?!
 

I recently switched to my 700wx since my Mogul was in need of repair and I sent it in. When I activated my Mogul (in February) I did a hard reset on my Treo since it was acting funny. The alarm, regardless of the settings (on/off, time, days, etc...) would go off every day at 10am. I figured when I got the Mogul, the Treo would be out of commission for a while so I might as well Hard Reset to take care of the problem since none of the simpler steps worked.

Anyway... since I reactivated my Treo, I noticed most of my stock ringers and alarm tones or whatever they are called don't work. Just a few of them do. The phone would vibrate... but wouldn't ring. My phone will ring when i receive a call. I have 2 songs that I turned into ringtones and those work flawlessly. But almost all of the predefined alarm ringers and reminders don't make a noise when picked. They are all in the dropdown menu but when i go to preview them.... NOTHING.

finally, sorry for the novel i've typed up... but is there any file I can put on this baby to get her ringtones back?

thanks in advance... if i cannot find a solution I'll just do the WM6 upgrade and hope for the best.

Thanks in advance!

So all of this started happening after a hard reset and with the addition of no other software/applications? Correct?

yup... that's correct. Hard reset and let the phone just sit in a box for about 5 months or so.... only app i added was mobile shell but that was after the issue.

actually Coz... don't worry I'm gonna do the WM6 upgrade...
if anyone else has this problem they should probably speak up or else this whole thread should be tossed.

Silly question, but did you make sure your volume is turned up?

I received a brand new 700wx as a warranty return, and it did the same thing right out of the box. The files are all there, but only a few of them would "play". Weird. Hard resets didn't help. That problem along with some other ones (phone not ringing but incoming calls going right to voicemail) caused me to just install Ebag's custom WM5 rom :

I wasn't convinced the WM6 rom was worth the uncertainty.

yeah... it was none of the obvious stuff. it was almost like somehow the files were corrupt or whatever. no biggy it's all over now. upgraded to wm6

well... i updgraded to wm6 and it's pretty stable. after i installed it i just did like 2 or 3 soft resets within 15 minutes but after that... smooth and quick. still messing with it but i like it alot... and it fixed the ringer problem!

thanks for all of the responses
