killaklan · 05-02-2008, 09:01 AM

i have a centro and i blutoothed some songs from my old phone and i want to set them as my ringtone. now i know how to set a ringtone from my sd card but since i used bluetooth, the songs are on my phone and i dont know where they are. i've tried many apps like filez and fileprog but cant find the song and i know their on my phone cause i can play them on ptunes. does anyone know where the mp3s might be stored?

Welcome to Treoanuts, Killaklan! If you can play them in ptunes, then you should be able to find them with FileZ. It may take some time, but they are there somewhere.

I had the same problem with my daughter's Centro. I couldn't find the songs. The only way for me to get songs onto her SD card was via the hotsync function. I have tried every way possible via bluetooth and it just didn't work.

are you serious?! i cant even delete them? i completly regret choosing the centro over the curve now! i guess thats what happens when an os isn't updated in 5 years. the new linux os hopefully will be better, but i wont get my hopes up

One possible solution is to get the launcher Initiate as you can then view all files on your device and then move it to the card. There is no "exact" location that the songs will be saved to on your device as it can be anywhere in memory. However, Initiate will list it and allow you to move it to the card into the correct folder. If you don't want to buy Initiate, then just download a trial to move the songs over.

If you sent the file over via BT, and the device accepted it, then its there somewhere. When you used fileZ, did you open every subfolder, or use the filter function?

I guess I should have added that I used Filez to find and move the songs to my card then my laptop via a card reader program. Even when I moved them, Ptunes wouldn't play those songs. I had to hotsync them to the Centro in order for them to be recognized and played.

i did use the filter function but stil couldnt locate them...anyways i just deleted the mp3s and hotsynced some them onto my sd card and used minitunes, but it seems pretty stupid that you cant set ringtones "easily". like i said befor thats what happens when you dont upgrade an os for 5 years

thanks everyone i appreciate the help and support
