Nokia E51 - Can't set clock alarm tone

Hey there people!
My device is Nokia E51, and for some, bizarre reason, I can't set the clock alarm tone.
When I choose the sub-menu "Clock alarm tone" a list of songs/audio files on the phone is supposed to load.... but nothing there. The phone doesn't even give me any options to choose from. I actually find this quite frustrating and annoying because I'm trying to do something very basic here.
I've attached a capture.
Thanks for helpers.

Well the reason I asked about the large number of audio files is because it appears to be a common bug across many of nokias phones.   When you have a large number of audio files (either on the card or on the phone itself) the phone apparently gets 'confused' and is unable to load up the selection of ringtones or music files to use as a ringtone.
The only solutions would be to either:
1)  Delete songs until the ringtone menu goes back to normal
2)  Do what you have done with copying it to the phone then removing the memory card to be able to select the file.. then reinsert the memory card
Nokia just needs to get their act together. They should seperate ringtones from the music files.  This way when you go to select a ringtone.. it will ask to either choose a ringtone from a list.. or to select one of your mp3s from a list. This way keeping it seperate.  But that would be extra menus to navigate and people probably wouldnt like it.
But if they did it that way then they could use the mp3 listings by album, artist, song title, etc to allow people to choose the music files they want as a ringtone.  It would be easier to do that then continually scroll through huge lists

  • Can't change clock alarm tone (N97)

    I'm having an issue on my phone (N97) where i try to set my alarm tone to anything other than 'default tone' to wake up to in the morning, when i click on it, the loading bar comes up with "opening" for about 15 seconds,  then i get an error "Clock: Memory full close some applications and try again"
    I only did a hard reset on this phone last week, along with a complete format of the mass memory, then reinstall of apps, yes another handful of hours goven away to nokia. It is running v20
    BestTaskman is telling me i have no applications open and 40.48Mb of RAM free. how can changing the clock tone use up 40Mb of RAM???
    I can change my ringtones in profiles just fine...
    Most probably has somethign to do with the 17.5GB or so of music that I have on the mass memory, but really, that shouldn't make a difference, did they give us a 32GB phone and expect us not to use it?
    has anyone seen this or know how to fix it?

    Loading.....
    then memory issue can only display a few or something like that.... then just closes back to main menu.
    Also still have loads of other files in my c: and not getting much love in these forums other then reset phone. must be another way...must be...

  • Nokia 301 set the alarm tone

    Hi,
    is there a way to set different clock alarm tone? (I didn't manage to find it in the user guide)
    Thank you

    farby is righ....
    When you are setting the alarm time, if you scroll down there is an option to set the Alarm tone - Standard, Radio, Open Files, Tone downloads.
    Use Open Files > Alert Tones and there are some different tones you can use there. 
    Edited to add: And while mucking about with it myself, up popped the message that you can switch your phone off at night and the alarm will still go off to wake you up. That's a nice feature.... though considering all the questions about battery life, how will that work!? Just checked the 206 does this too, is this a general feature of Nokia phones?

  • Can I set individual alerts (tones) for each calendar events/ reminders

    Can I set individual alerts (tones) for each calendar events/ reminders

    Thanks On my phone, these are the options under Menu>Settings & Tools>Sound Settings>Alert Sounds: 1. TXT Message 2. Multimedia Message 3. Voicemail 4. Emergency Tone  5. Missed Call . And under Service Alerts: 1. ERI 2. Minute Beep 3. Call Connect 4. Charge Complete 5. Software Update. So nothing there for the calendar. And options from the calendar that I can see are Add (here you can change the tone for one event or recurring event, but not set a default tone for the event alarm), View (gives you the options of viewing an existing event in more detail, adding a new one, and the same choices from the Options list on the first screen where you are viewing the entire month), and Options (1. lets you view weekly/monthly,  2. Go To Today  3. Go To Date   4. Search   5. Erase All   6. Erase All Old   7. Send.  So as far as I can see, there's no way to do it. I have been through all the Settings and Tools menus... and the Events menu. But...I have just discovered that if I delete ALL my alarms and change the Ringtone for the first alarm I set, that ringtone becomes the default ringtone. I will try deleting ALL my events and starting fresh with a new tone and see if that works!

  • Can't set an alarm

    I can't set an alarm in ical. When I go to the 'Alarm' option it is light grey and the drop down says either add alarm or remove alarm. There is no email address or other alarm option. My home card in address book is fillled out correctly.

    Brian,
    Do you have an event of to do selected, from an editable calendar (vs a subscribed to calendar or the birthday calendar)?

    I have downloaded free ring tone to my I phone 4s but can not set as ring tone.

    You would have to create the ringtone.  Google will find several ways to do this.
    You can only buy ready made ringtones from the ringtones asections of the itunes store on your iphone.

    Hi and welcome to the forumsy hafner!
    A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101      Tips & Tricks
    Pull the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart and see if that doesn't help. Clears out the memory and refreshes the BB; like rebooting your pc.
    Once your device has restarted, go to option-display-date and time-update time and set to "automatic"-BB key-save.  That will set your device to your network time.  Once that is set, you should then be able to set the alarm. 
    Let us know how it goes and it's great to have you here!

  • Can I chose my alarm tone with Siri?

    While I love setting an alarm using Siri, I don't love the default alarm tone. I've noticed that you set the tone of choice when you manually set the alarm. Is there any way to create a new default tone so that alarms set with Siri use that one?

    I just went into the clock app, selected alarm at the bottom, then tapped the + symbol on the top right. That takes you to add alarm. I selected sound and choose an alarm tone I liked (one that doesn't cause a heart attack when I am peacefully sleeping). I hit save. It set an alarm for the time I began the process but I just turned that off. After that, whether I set an alarm manually or with siri, the same tone resulted.

  • Nokia 6086 - how to set the Alarm volume?

    I know I'm not the only one to ask this question, but I've not yet seen an answer. Can anyone tell me how to increase (or decrease) the volume of the Alarm tone? I've looked all over the menus, I've looked in the manual, I've gone through both the Nokia and T-Mobile sites, but I've found nothing. Right now, my alarm tone is so quiet it's actually difficul to hear, not exactly appropriate for an alarm! Thanks,

  • Can't set an alarm on Reminders.

    I recently got the iPhone 5s, and have been having trouble with setting an alarm on the reminders app. When I set the date and time for the alarm, I hit done and I can see when the alarm is set for under the task. After about 5 seconds, the date disappears, and the alarm will no longer go off. Is there any way to fix this?

    I think the problem is that reminders just doesn't work! Life's too short -  The best thing is to stop wasting time trying to figure out a completely dysfunctional app until you hear that apple have reverted to the old one, or bought out a new one that does work.
    There - I've saved you loads of time and angst!

  • How can I set an alarm clock set to a time zone?

    Hi,
    I am about to go traveling quite a bit in multiple time zones. However, I have to take medication every 24 hours. I use the iPhone alarm to set a time. Is there a way I can adjust it so it goes off whenever it is, say 10pm in US eastern time zone even if I'm in another time zone and my iphone clock is local time?
    thanks!
