Hi,
I want to have a different ringtone for sms alert. Is it possible to do this? I can't stand the standard ones lol!
i've scoured the forums and can't find anything to help me...
Cheers
Rich
as far as i know you can only use .wav format audio....... if you have something you want to use, then copy the files into your /windows directory, dont put them in seperate folder, just into /windows
then when you select all your different sms alerts, you can see the files you placed in the directory , in the list to select.....
at the moment i have bo selecta sms alerts. lol
Yeah but how do I change the SMS tone. when I change the ringtone, the IIs only changes the Call Tone...
Its probably so obvious, but im not good at obvious!
Cheers
Richard
SMS tones are set in start-settings-sounds&Notifications-tab Notifications- drop down to messaging: New text message. If you copy a .wav file in your /Windows folder it appears in the list there and you can chose it. If you want to use mp3, get MortRing from this forum and use that. It is the only small program I know off that sets mp3 as ringtone.
I have been trying to set my SMS tone through the notifications option, but everytime an SMS comes in, it comes back to the default tone. Dont know why this happens!!!
Anyone knows whats wrong?
yes, I have that problem too! Can anyone help out?
can we edit the registry so window will look at sdcard storage for the SMS ringtones???? i knew how to do this for phone call ringtones, but for sms window have different setting.... i keep all my ringtones in sdcard to save space...
thx for answers

I think you just copy the wav into the \windows\ directory and go to the sounds and notification settings and change the notification for new email message.

sounds and notifications

worked it out

Does anybody know how to change the standard sms tones . Is there a sms upgrade or program?
I have a htc rom installed. i want t use my one tones, not the standard ones.
Thanks
it's don in sounds and notifications
I am looking to do this, and I can see the sounds and notifications, but if I want it to play a specific mp3, is this possible?
Many thanks.
I have recently upgraded to WM6.1 (kavanna's) and i have put the rinku iconbar on it and the weather sliding panels, kinoma freeplayer and all teh other prgrams that i have seen that work well. Love the ROM, great work to all, but i just have one question.
How do i get pictures and ringtones for my contacts because right now all i have is the number and name listed and i don't have an option for selecting a ringtone or assinging a picture to them. I have been searching throught the threads for 2 days and the most i can find is little info about a program called RINGO and photo...somethin pro and there wasn't much postive feedback about either.
Please help
Thanks
6.1 same as 6
start - contacts - edit
custom ringtones will need to be on main memory if I'm not mistaken
scroll down to select pics or set custom ringtone

Custom ringtones can also be on the root of storage card.
The contact you wish to add these too has to be in the phone mem not sim
You probably don't see the options for pictures and ringtones because the contacts are stord on the SIM. Move them to the phone memory and it will open up those options.
thanks i had them all on my sim card didn't realize i had to move them back to access those options Thanks again

yea took me a while to figure that too but now that i've found it i don't let those free phone getters laugh at me cuz i can't see the pic of whos calling me. lol
does anyone know the folder structure for making sure, if i store sounds on the storage card, that any alerts are purely for short sounds, and custom rintones selects a folder full of just my ringtones?
meaning:
Custom Ringtones -------> ring tone only folder on storage card
Custom Alerts ------> short sounds only folder on storage card
??? i thought i had it right but my custom ringtones options (all ringtones on the storage card are stored under storage card/my ringtones) ALWAYS brings up all my short sounds too (which are stored in storagecard/my documents).
all my alerts options bring up short sounds only.
Is it possible to change the ringtone for an SMS message?
Here you go!
Yes go to settings tab and click all settings, look under sounds and notifications.
Click on noitifications and select New text messagesfrom top drop down box. Make sure ringtones are on root directory of sdcard. Click the drop down box above play and your ringtone should be in box
there you should be good
Thankyou
Thankyou it works
Glad to help
If by 'change the ringtone' you want to change it to one of the default supplied ones, do as above. If you want a customised .mp3 one, then you need to copy/paste the required ringtone in the Windows folder of the phone, otherwise it will not show up in the list.
or do a search for a program called electric ringo, that allows you to set mp3 for sms tones as well
