Ringtones

[Shogunichi]

I have the emobile touch diamond, Japanese version. I cannot figure out how to set my mp3s as a ringtone. It will only let me make .wma format into a ringtone. Can anyone help?

The easiest way to set an mp3 as your ringtone would be to do it from within HTC audio manager. Play your mp3 file in audio manager, click on menu-->Set as ringtone. Trim your file to play not more than 40-45 seconds since most carriers cant play a ringtone longer than that. After you trim it, select set as default ring tone.

Even if I play the track in the HTC audio manager the menu does not show "set ring tone" only allows me to add to playlist, properties, ect.

Hmm......ok. Do this, take your mp3 file...and save it in the following location. Using file explorer go to my documents-->my ringtones. Save your file here. Now go to start-->settings-->personal-->sounds and notifications-->notifications-->incoming call. You should be able to see your mp3 file in the drop down.

Good Luck.

that works.. but if you hooking your phone to the computer using activesyne.. they have an option when you first sync it to see if you want to sync music as well...

if you did that.. your Phone My Document folder will show up on the desktop.. and you should be able to see a folder name My Ringtones there.. copy and paste the ringtons you want in there..

and now just go back to your phone.. under Notification.. you should be able to see your ringtones under the drop down like syedimran said

Ya, something is different because it is a Japanese rom. It does have a ringtone folder, but the name is in Japanese. Even if I put files in there they do not show up in setting/personal/sounds and notifications/notifications/incoming calls drop down menu. It is very strange.

Might I suggest flashing a nice clean english rom then. Its gonna save you a lot of rework and its easier this way. Ofcourse the choice is all yours. ;)

How would I go about flashing the rom? Would everything else work ok?

Flashing a new ROM would cause everything other than the stuff in your internal storage deleted.

You can backup call history, sms, e-mails, contacts using this program call PIM Backup (search it on the forum you will see it, or go under the ROM development section click on the Dutty 3.5b Final post and in the first page he has a link to PIM Backup)

Just follow the instruction from the Dutty 3.5b Final post and you will know how to flash a new ROM

of course you can also choose other ROMs of you choice but the same instruction applies to all ROM
