Nokia 5300 ringtone problem

Hi, i recently bought a Nokia 5300, and for some reason, i am not able to play certain ringtones. Most don't work and the error message that it gives me is "File size too large" which i don't really understand.. why there would be a limit on the size of the mp3 being played as the ringtone.. and also, some mp3s, will say "Not allowed by activation key"... any ideas?

It looks more like a corrupt memory card.
Connect the handset to your computer in mass storage mode and recover what you can off the memory card. Disconnect the phone and then format the memory card. Reconnect and copy your data back to the phone.

  • Nokia 5200 - Ringtone problems

    Hey everyone!
    I've recently bought the Nokia 5200, and I'm having lots of difficulty with setting a ringtone. Originally, I used the USB cable and transferred a bunch of MP3s onto my SD card. When I try to set one as a ring tone, I get "Cannot set as a ringing tone."
    So then I downloaded PC Suite, and I used a .aac file, which was the format one of my original phone ringtones were - but I still got the same message, even though I put it into my Ringtones folder with the PC Suite.
    Is it just my phone, or are all Nokia 5200s like this? =\
    Help is kindly appreciated~

    Hihi,
    I have exactly the same problem... 5300, provided by Rogers, and whether I try to set it from the media player or from the ringtone page, I still get "cannot be set as ringing tone". I already tried a very small file: 85K. So it should not be a size, and I tried both mp3 and aac files...
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanks very much.

  • 5300, ringtone problem

    Recently got my 5300, and i put most of my music onto my phone(the microSD chip). I try to set one of my mp3 songs as a ringtone, but the message 'Cannont be set as ringing tune'. So i looked up some stuff, and tried making the song(that is originally 5mb) into a 200kb mp3 file, hoping that it would be able to be used as a ringtone. But the same message appeared yet again.
    Any suggestions? Cause im totally bumped about this issue.

  • Nokia E75 ringtone problems

    I bought a Nokia E75 about 2 weeks ago.  When i assign a rigntone to a contact, most of them work great.  Only a few won't ring through.  It rings about 2 words of the ringtone then the ringtone stops but the phone is still showing on the screen that the call is still coming in.  This bites, as if it's in my purse I usually don't ever hear it.  I have tried redoing the ringtone and using different ones, it  still doesn't help, but more than half the contacts are okay.  ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WILL BE WELCOMED AND AM THANKFUL FOR YOUR TIME!!!

    I too have somewhat of the same issue, except the ringtone assigned to the contact will not default when the phone rings.
    The ring is the default within the profile everytime.  I have turned the warnings to off.  Thought maybe it was the the ringtone was a MP3 file, so I changed it to an AAC file, but to no avail.
    Is there some other setting I did not change.
    This is very frustrating...
    Any suggestions?

  • Nokia 5300 Sandisk problem

    Last week I decided to upgrade my 3310 and bought a 5300 instead. The card which was in the phone when I got it is way to small for my space requirements so I bought a Sandisk 4gb since I heard those are the best.
    Here comes the trouble, when I pop in the memory card the phone wont read it. I cant find it anywhere.
    Is it a SD malfunction, phone malfunction or something 3rd ?
    Nikola

    The 5300 is quite an old model now and it's only capable of using a 2gb card at maximum.
    4GB cards are a different format (SDHC) and these cannot be read by older models.
    So you need to buy a 2GB card.

  • Nokia 5300 - Pc Suite Cd and Memory Problem *pleas...

    Hey, Well i bought the nokia 5300 (love it minus my 1 problem)
    So I installed the disk that came with the box (pc suite) and it worked. Now I enter the program and transfer a song from my computer to my phone and it says I dont have enough memory in my phone.
    Problem is- The only thing I have on my phone is 4 ringtones I downloaded off of the phone. and about 6 contacts. Everything else that came with the phone is still on it minus a few graphics..me thinking it will free memory. But NOTHING. Still won't work! So do i need to buy a memory card or something (if theres such thing for this phone) so that i can get music on it, or do I have to do something else, like compress the file and if so how do I do that?
    ...thought it would be simple to do this but im really having problems with this. Help is much appreciated

    Similar problems, but on a N73.
    Every time I sync my phone it's a mission to get it working either via Bluetooth or USB. USB is a little more reliable.
    So usually I get it working, but yesterday nothing could get it working. I managed to get a Bluetooth connection which stayed alive long enough to delete all my calendar entries ready to write a replacement but then failed. Now I have no appointments in my phone.
    On the usb cable the symptoms I get are that the phone recognises when I plug the USB cable in and briefly displays that it is enabling PC Suite mode, but that's it. No other indication (I think usually there's a little icon on the right that indicates PC Suite operation,
    PC Suite on the PC doesn't recognise that there is any phone connection.
    I went into the PC Suite profile in my phone and I was intereste to see that only two options a given for connection "Bluetooth" and "Internet". Is this normal? Remember I have been using USB with PC Suite fine for some time and with no other change it now doesn't work.
    I eventually uninstalled and reinstalled all Nokia stuff and the Bluetooth drivers and software.
    But alas no change. Phone is still not recognised.

  • Nokia 5300 + iSync connection problems

    Hi,
    I just bought myself a new Nokia 5300. When i tried to connect it with my Mac using iSync, iSync didn't recognized the 5300. Does somebody can help me with this problem? Thank you!

    The instructions found on this page work with some modifications (change 6103 to 5300) if you want to save the 10 euros.

  • Nokia 5300 USB PC-Suite connection problem

    I have tried to get my Nokia 5300 to connect to PC-Suite through the supplied USB cable. I can get a connection using Bluetooth, but with USB I can only connect the 5300 in disk mode.
    I can see that many others on these pages have reported the same symptoms I experience:
    - Error message during installation of PC-Suite regarding "setupext.exe" referencing memory at location "0x00000000".
    - Windows "New hardware" wizard interfering when the 5300 is connected, popping up and insisting on installing new drivers, then failing and after you have closed the wizard it repeats this procedure.
    So, apparently the cable driver installed is not recognized by Windows as the correct driver for this connection. I have tried in vain to clean out the installation in order to start over:
    - Removed cable connectivity driver using the "Remove software" control panel.
    - Same action for PC-Suite.
    - Used the PC-Cleaner program to remove all traces of the installation (this failed)
    - Manually (using regedit.exe) removed the last traces of Nokia entries in the registry.
    And then, after re-installing the latest version of PC-Suite with my firewall disabled, I still have the same problem.
    At this point I don't really know how to proceed and any suggestions that could help me overcome this problem would be highly appreciated.

    Just to balance this a bit, I just connected 5300 to my PC with cable, did you use any wizard what so ever, only selected the mode in phone screen, waited for 10 secs and I was connected to PC Suite, so yes, you guys have a problem but it is not a designed feature that the connection build up is that complicated. Unfortunately I do not know what is the difference between my PC setup and yours so that I could suggest a rootcause for the problem
