Palm Pre: Unable to set a song as a ringtone

I just got my Pre and downloaded music from my iTunes. But I can't set a song as a ringtone. I tried to put it to specific contacts, like it says I can, but it doesn't work. I select a song but it will take me back to the system ringtones where I have to go back to hit "done" so it doesn't save (done only appears on the initial 'edit' screen). The contact will still say "set a ringtone" or sometimes I get the error message "Adding ringtone failed. File may already exist" (probably because I keep trying it but it doesn't work!)
Anyone have a fix or what step am I missing?

I am having a very similar problem that just started happening. I have had my pre since it debut. Up until today I could change ringtones no problem wether it be an mp3 or preloaded tone. I created my own ringtone at www.makeownringtone.com where you take whatever lyrics from the song you want as the ringtone. It added successfully but when I select it for the ringtone it puts the check mark like it was successful and then I have some one call and it plays the pre default ringtone. When I change it again and close it out then go back into the ringtones it still has pre as the ringtone. Even if I select another preloaded ringtone it won't change. Have any ideas or suggestions for this one! I am going to sprint tomorrow and I can't wait to see what they say!

Im unable to set a song as a ringtone.

Hello - I'm unable to set a song as a ringtone inspite of following the procedures. Please help

So, you did not do this step?
"Now in the Finder (or Windows explorer, the process is the same for Windows iTunes 10), rename the file extension from .m4a to .m4r"
And these?
Accept the file extension change to .m4r
Now back in iTunes remove the file from the playlist (do NOT move to Trash, select ‘keep file’) and then re-import the file into iTunes 10 by double clicking the .m4r file within the Finder or Windows"

Palm Pre - MP3 Playback skips

Haven't had any troubles with mp3 playback on my Palm Pre until yesterday. Every song I listen to skips intermittently.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I only had 2 or 3 other cards open at the time of the malfunction (gps, email, phone, and music player). Would that be enough to cause this? I understand that memory is memory, but since multitasking is the cornerstone of the device's design philosophy I think it's fair to expect 4 or so apps to all work at the same time.
That said, I usually have something closer to 8 apps open, and that has never affected my listening experience.

DELETING DUPLICATE SONGS - PALM PRE

I am unable to delete duplicate songs on my Palm Pre music files. I'm not even sure how the duplicate songs showed up in my files. I have tried everything. I use I tunes & I have set all audio defaults to Itunes. I also use the Palm Music Assistant. I have called Palm and Sprint support. Both have told me to "right" gesture to delete but the songs come right back. I have also deleted duplicates in the I tunes music player (file) but it has no effect on the Pre's music files. Has anyone experienced this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I asked someone at Palm to take a look at this issue. It's new to me. It makes me wonder if you perhaps have two processes synchronzing media to the Pre - do you use MissingSync and iTunes on a Mac perchance?

Help setting up work e-mail on my Palm Pre Plus

My co-worker has her work e-mail/calendar set up on her Palm Pre and I used the same settings on my Palm Pre Plus but I get the "unable to validate incoming mail server settings" message. I've tried changing the settings a few times and nothing works.
Any suggestions?

Can you set a ringtone for the palm pre text messages...Please help!!!!

I use to have a centro and you were able to set a special tone for you to identify if that was a text msg or a call coming through. Can you do this with the Palm Pre because I can;t find it?

Where do I need to make noise to? I have had nothing but problems with this thing. From waiting on activation over a 2 day period, to having to manually cut and copy my phone numbers from a csv file, that best buy told me would work without a glitch, into my google account. Now after 4 days I am more comfortable with the phone but am finding out how many things are problems.
*wireless printing
*sync way too many contacts from unneeded accounts
*lack of accessories and applications
*poor battery- even sitting overnight lost 1/2 its battery
*message tone - singular, unloud, not even audible while in a car
*I cant find any way to select text while typing, have to tap, delete, retype. but cant cut, copy and paste. No way to select stuff.
I know its a whole new OS, a brand new phone. But come on palm. Do more quality control and TESTING. Not just with geeks, give more to a bigger diversity of customers. Why sprint didnt pre release to exsisting customers to try out in comparison to their currently useless handsets, is unknown. But someone needed to chime in about TINY little things, like changing the message tone! That eventually will bring the rating and functionality of the handset and get a big thumbs down from users.

I can log into Yahoo messenger from the mobile.yahoo.com using the palm's web browser. Error I saw was that it could not connect to the server.
I CAN log into Yahoo Messenger via HP TouchPad Messenger App.

Various error messages when trying to sync my Palm Pre with my OWA

I have read several of the postings and I believe I have tried everything. The odd thing is that it worked prior to me being married. When I brought the phone I just entered my work email address and password and it worked instantly. Then at the end of June I got married and changed my name. When I change my name with my company they gave me a new email address. And a alert popped up on my phone stating that I needed to change my info. So I put in my new email and the same password and it states that it can't validate the account information. So I tap to set it up manually. I put in my new username, the domain, the OWA web address, and the same password. And then I get the SSL Certificate Error: check the date and time. After discussing with our IT guys, I try all the various emails I have in the system (4 total: 2 due to a change in the company name last year and two due to my name change). I get the same SSL Certificate Error. Then I download the certificate from my computer to my palm pre and took the "s" off of the https:// as one of the posting suggested. and now I am getting "unable to validate account settings. Please check the settings and try again" message. I tried all the different email addresses again just in case it was an issue of my email address not matching the domain name, but I still get the same "unable to validate" message. I'm at a lost because it really shouldn't be an issue of the cert, because it worked perfectly fine before I got married and change my name. So I can only assume that it's an issue with my email address, domain, and username. But I've tried all of them and nothing works. And suggestions would be helpful.

I seemed to have figured it out...... I hard reset my Iphone and rebooted my computer and it seemed to work. It also seemed there was a music file that was not being recognized, I just erased it and everything worked fine after that.... very strange but I am so glad I figured it out.....

I am not able to change the ringtone on my Palm Pre?

I spent a couple days on researching and troubleshooting, but unable to find anything. Can someone shed some lights? I followed the same instructions given on the Palm support website, but it wouldn't change the ringtone. I tried using the ringtones that were pre-loaded to the phones as well as ones I downloaded on iTunes but couldn't get it to work.
I am getting a bit frustrated now.
I have been having a lot of problems with this palm pre since I got it a month ago.

One of the key things about changing the ringtones is once you set the new ringtone you need to do a backswipe to return to the previous screen for the ringtone to save.

Can the Palm pre...

Is there an app where I can record my voice and then set it to my ringtone? My friends phone does it and I think that would be fun to do. I doubt the palm pre can do it because it cant do all the simple things.
Is there a way to SAVE sound txt messages? my friend sent me a voice message but I could only play it I couldnt save it.
Can we set txt tones yet? In the past I read that the palm pre couldnt...
My friend tried to send me the message over blutooth.. he found my device. entered code 0000 for both phones but it said it failed... but yet thats how he got all of his songs on his phone from a different person.
his phone is just a cheapy prepared to the PRE so I better be able to do these simple things!!
thanks.

Text alerts can now with 1.3.1 os have assigned tones. From the messaging app, click the drop down menu at top left and choose preferences. They can be assigned there under ringtone. This does not change your call ringtone, just for text alerts.
