My wife has got a3 week old N70. She took her mp3 ringtone off her old phone and put it on the N70. We have assigned it to all call howeer it seems to be rather temperamental when actually playing when receiving an incoming call.
Sometimes the N70 plays the mp3 tune but more frequently its playing the Nokia Tune.
All we feel like doing it doing is the Dom Jolly "HELLO" impression. I know its rther a small thing but its getting really frustrating. Is there anything that can be done to rectify this?
Would a new upload of that particular mp3 be any different?
I would rather not have to go down the road of re-flashing...
Any ideas would be helpful
Regards

When assigning ringtones on Nokia's, they are assigned to either a contact or profile. Try assigning the mp3 to all profiles and that should do the job!

I have it on profiles...
Still not working

N70.

lol he meant firmware

Sounds like you need to either get the phone flashed or get a replacement mate-if you bought it new, then you should have 28days!

How can I check the fw on the N70 please?!

OK guys, I've got a similar prob, I downloaded an MP3 from 3, but when I try to set it as a ringtone, it says "object cannot be used".
Little confused....
Any ideas people?

my mum had the same problem! so i rang orange asking what was up.... this was what i was told to do.
Menu > Log > options > settings > Log duration set to 10 days
it does work! well has on my mums. i still think the phone is messed up.
lol i thought this was so strange, orange have just found a way to get out of fixing the phones or replacing them, my uncle also has an N70 on a vodafone contract and is now on his 4th N70 in 3 months.
try that out, i dont think its fixes the problem with the phone but makes the tone change
post up how it goes
Posted by SE Rules
Didnt make any difference....
Posted by Dale_jeffs
hmmm... is yours on orange ?
Posted by SE Rules

Posted by Dale_jeffs

Posted by SE Rules
What Nokia forums can you suggest?
Posted by Berry
I will try the Log options but i have the N70.
Will keep you posted

Hi all my N70 on T-Mobile is
V5.069.2.0.1
01-03-06
RM-84
I believe this is the latest Firmware avaliable but as Orange and 3 both seriously modify their phones software this might be the cause of the problem as have custom MP3's for call , e-mail, messages and even the alarm with no problems at all.

I've gotta say, the branding from 3 doesnt seem too bad, compareds to others, its only got a wallpaper and a shortcut to teh site.
Do you think theres some sort of copyright software preventing it from happening? Like i said, I downloaded this from 3's website...
Can use other MP3's on my phone as ringing tones, message alerts etc...

What do you think?
Posted by BobaFett
@t-mag is it a branded fone?
Posted by SE Rules
Mines branded, but not as heavily like a Voda or Orange, its only got a menu option and wallpaper.
Well I transferred a Coldplay tune from my K750 to the N80, which was put on the K750 by my Pc without copyright protection, and guess what....It works.
So I reckon it must be that 3 prevent you from using certain downloaded songs from their site as ringtones...
Cheers

i never use mp3 tones as ringing tone, but i gave a try in an unbranded and 3 branded once, it worked in both.
Posted by Berry
My N70 is O2 Branded. Well Start Up is certainly. I did delete the Family Group option and it has started doing since then.
Does that help you Boba?
Posted by BobaFett
Imo that doesnt matter. Did u visited nokia service? I always did at such weird things. I have no experiences with mp3 tones and individual settings at contacts, never used those.
