I was having the same problem Harleerider was but it just seemed to go away. I don't remember if I reset my BB or not but the custom ringtone wasn't playing and then it just started working.

Is there a max size of the MP3?

I don't think so. I have an expanded remix of a Pet Shop Boys song and it's about 4.07 mb.

I believe there IS a limit if you do not have a microSD expansion card. Some other threads have mentioned a limit (2.86MB rings a bell) but no limit with an expansion card.

MMMMMM... I read a post about that earlier. I don't have any music on my device since I bought the microSD almost immediately.

I tried everything that could be done without changing the OS or pulling the battery.

Finally I left things the way I wanted them, tested a few more times to make sure it was still not working, and then pulled the battery. Now it works fine. And it is accepting other changes properly.

I haven't put a MicroSD card in the phone yet (still waiting on it to arrive in the mail). So the mp3s that I'm using are stored in the device memory. They are small though as they're just ringtone loops, not full songs.

Something else I noticed while the phone wouldn't play ringtones properly was that it was running really slowly. After the battery pull it's back to normal speed as well. Unfortunately I haven't tested out custom pictures yet so I can't report anything there.

thanks, this helped me.

sounds basic, but I was stuck on having to give the exception a name in addition to picking a name. (might be nice if its name defaulted to the name you choose...)

Cusromized Ringtones Problems
 

I am having the same exact problem as the other member who wrote to say that, despite setting customized "notification" ringtones, the ring always goes to the default. In my case, no matter how I customize my contacts, the ring is the same as whatever I have set for the first contact. I was thinking that I must have missed some part of doing this correctly but I have followed the instructions to a "t". It was reassuring (somewhat) to read that others have had the same problem. I tried removing the battery and replacing it. I tried re-saving the custom settings - all to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks:?

Alright so i just got my BB Pearl for my Sweet 16 and I was having the same problem. Now, I've made it so the custom ringtones work for calls but is there anyway I can customize ringtones for texts? ... and do I have to have a SD card to do so?

So what happens if a contact is listed in a profile exception with an overriding ring tone AND they have a different tone associated with them set from the contact "add custom phone tune".

They remain listed in the group and as a custom exception all on their own.

Does smoke come out of the speaker when they call :-| Is it predictable which tune plays?
