Can't change ringtone on V500 - help please !

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola (More info?)

I recently uploaded an mp3 file to my Motorola V500. I was able to play
it on the phone without any problem. I then set it as a ringtone using
"Apply As Ringtone". Then I went to change my normal ringtone to it but
whenever I try and bring up the list of ringtones it just takes me
straight back to the configuration menu. So then I went and deleted the
uploaded mp3 file using the phone's own menu. But I still can't change
my normal ringtone. I can, however, still bring up the full list of
tones if I go to the Alarm section and try and change the Alarm
ringtone. Can anyone help or tell me what to do so I can change my
ringtone again ?

My phone was a bit picky about encoded data, I re-encoded with no title etc and it accepted everything
