Can't see my wav song in tones list (XDAIIs)

I have changed my mp3 to wav and put them in windows/rings folder but I can't select them as my ringtone. Anything wrong?

You may still need to run the "Add Ring Tone" application to get them to be recognised (Found under Settings -> System).

Doing it this way uses loads of storage as WAV's are sooooo much bigger, if you convert your MP3's to WMA format and pop them on your storage card you can then just hold stylus down on the WMA and bingo you'll see on the pop up menu is an option to "set as ringtone" .
ignore the bandwagon set who love to hate microsoft, in the real world everyone who nows anything about digital media will confirm that bitrate for bitrate WMA's are the best quality.

What i do is convert to WMA, and copy it to the \windows\rings directory (this should already exist). It will then appear in your list of ringtones (really easy way for setting up different ringtones for different people).
I also added a 'ringtone' (sound file) for when smses get received. Save it as a .WAV file and copy it to \windows, and it will appear in your 'sounds' list.

how do it change the default sms tones to wma or wav. xdaiis

can i change sms tone to wav or wma.. like pop song??? and the default sms tone is so short i can't hear any thing....

Copy the .wav file u want to be the SMS ringtone to Windows directory inside ur O2 XDA IIs

copy the wanted .wav file into the windows folder, and then go into your notifications option and your wanted .wave file will be in the drop down for you to select 8)

you could also convert and edit mp3 songs to wave and use it as your alert tone. Further, you could search for a thread "Mort Ring" on this forum, it's very useful in assigning tones per contacts.
cheers!

Changing the text message tone

Is there anyone out there who can tell me how to (if possible) I can change the text message tone on the MDA Vario. I cannot stand it at the moment. Am I stuck with it for life?

go to start - settings - sounds and notifications - notifications and then choose the tone you want to change from the drop down bar... that should do the trick... *p.s. if you put mp3files on your storagecard, but not in a folder, just in the main folder, they'll appear in the list as well..

I think text message tone only use wav files. Ringtone can use mp3 files.

sorry my fault...

adding wav files for messages etc, they need to go in windows dir/folder.
mp3's for ringtones etc can go on the storage card root or storage card My Documents folder...

you can chang your text massage tone

MP3 files for alarms and SMS tones...

Can I use MP3s for alarms and SMS tones.
I thought these kind of features where standard on modern smart phones?
Or is there an app for that

Have you tried setting it as a ringtone within the music app? Then from there you might be able to choose it in the alarms and notifications?

make a folder on your SD card (the root of it) called "Notifications" and "Ringtones" then copy your ringtones into one and notifications (SMS and Alarms) into the other. Then they appear in the menus. I had to google about to find this myself!
Alternatively you can set it through the music application!

You need to create specific folders on the SD. I have alarms on the SD root for my alarm tone and notifications for my message tone!

/sdcard
/sdcard/Media
/sdcard/Media/Notifications
/sdcard/Media/Ringtones
/sdcard/Media/Alarms
That is how I have it setup so I only have one folder in the sdcard root for all of my alarms, notifications and ringtones.

Mine are set as...
/sdcard
/sdcard/Media
/sdcard/Notifications
/sdcard/Ringtones
/sdcard/Alarms

Thx, I will give it a go
Why can't they make things simple these days

SOrry to jump in, but cant someone just run over what i may be doing wrong.
On my SD Card i have the following folder setup :
sdcard/
sdcard/media
sdcard/media/audio
sdcard/media/notifications
sdcard/media/alarms
sdcard/media/ringtones
and within the notifications folder i have put an MP3.
BUT it doesnt show up in SETTINGS > SOUND & DISPLAY > NOTIFICATION SOUND
Nor does it show up in ChompSMS or SMSPopup.
I have alos tried to create the folders in the root, with no luck.
I know im beign blind, what am i missing.

Nice one, was wondering how to do this.
hot-fuzz I have the exact same set-up as you, works perfectly for me.
Have you tried with a different audio file?

Just download 'Ringdroid' from the marketplace and you can edit your mp3's in the fly and gives you the option to save as tone/notification etc..

OK, sorted it.
The file will only show up if i put ".mp3" at the end of the file, otherwise it doesnt show up.
Thanks for the headsup on Ringdroid, might give that a bash.

I had some problems but at last it is working with the format
sdcard/
sdcard/media
sdcard/media/audio
sdcard/media/notifications
sdcard/media/alarms
sdcard/media/ringtones
I noticed there was a similar layout in the phone's ROM
system/
system/media
system/media/audio
system/media/notifications
system/media/alarms
system/media/ringtones
system/media/ui
There was some Facebook mp4 file in that ringtones folder.

Can't add notifications/ringtones?

Has anyone figured out how to use your own audio files for all of the different types of notifications? I have a few .mp3 files that I've used on all of my previous Android phones that I'd like to continue using. I put them in the "Ringtones" and "Notifications" folders that were initially on the phone. After I did that, I was able to select them as ringtones for the ringer, but they don't show up as options for SMS and e-mail notifications. Any ideas?

Try converting the ones in the Notifications folder to m4a files, they work for SMS and email notifications for me. Could also be the length of your files.

or just install zedge from the market. Thats not your own ringtones, but there are good ones too..

Ringdroid is a nice application for this, it works quite well and you can just uninstall once you convert your audio files to notifications, ringtones, or alarms.

Thanks for the tips. The files are very short, so it's not the length. I also looked for Ringdroid, but I can't find it in the market. There's something called "Ringdroid (Social Edition)," but this doesn't look like it's the right thing. When I get a chance I'll try converting the files and seeing if that works, although I do find it strange that my mp3s (they were from a pack a downloaded a while ago called "RCP Ringtones) are seen when selecting ringtones for the ringer, but not for notifications.
