So I wrote to Nokia about this issue, since I see it being asked all over the place and have yet to find an answer.

This is the reply I got:

Hmm... Thing is, I AM designing these things! I'm using Anvil Studio to create/convert midis. I'm fairly sure that getting the lights to go is simply a channel assigment thing, but it takes too damned long to test!
Aside from that, what the hell is the point of having ringtones that won't even vibrate the phone??

Anyway, if you want a direct line to Nokia to bug 'em about this try this address: [email protected]

Watch to make sure you don't have more tracks in your midi files than the phone can handle. It seems that 3220s don't like more than 10 tracks.

I just cut a couple midis from 12 tracks to 10 and they work fine now.

search for Anvil Studio if you want a powerful, free, and easy to use midi editor. It's also got a "fix song" feature that seems to do wonders.

Yer welcome.
