Im looking to copy a couple of ringtones over to me Tytn II. but they arent in the default ringtone folders.
Thanks
Look in either the \windows folder (not in "rings" folder) or \My Documents. These are the folders that should be found from the ringer options.
thanks
Found one of them in the Windows folder.
Will Active Sync let me search the entire folder structure, or is there an app that will let me do that? I know the file name, just have to find where!

Hey guys, does anyone know how to set the sms into my own sounds for P3300? I try many times but still do not know how to save the file under which directory.....help please...
you have to change the extension of the file and then should put in windows folder to access that file for sms
Thanks for replying, dude.
What should I change on the extention if it is a MP3 format? And where should I copy to?
Thanks.....
SMS tones need to have a .wav extension if I remember correctly, and placed directly in the windows folder.

Ok, so I have a sound I want to hear when an sms message arrives, and I converted it to *.wav and put it in the Windows directory. How do I replace this sound with the original sms sound?
edit:
I think I already know. Once you've put in the windows folder it automaticly is shown in the list where you can change you ringtone sound, incoming mail sound, etc.
Maybe this is a better way
Just install this application and you have done it

Just transfer the desired files from your PC to your device via ActiveSync. Place the files in the 'My Documents' folder.
Go to Start -> Settings -> Sounds. Then just change your ringtone and SMS message sounds to your newly acquired sounds.
or you can make a folder on your storage card for you ringtones and name it My Ringtones.

for some reason i've never been able to change my sms ringtone to one that i've put in the phone. is there anyway to fix that?
For SMS, ringtones have to be in the Sounds folder. Not in your My ringtones folder.

...which is why I stated to place all tones in the 'My Documents' folder.
...but like mikey said. unless you intend on placing your ringtones (or any tones for that matter) on your SD card. the "\application data\sounds" folder is the best place to put any tones.... whether it be for notifications, ringtones, or sms tones
How do you change "new txt message" sound?
How do you change "new txt message" sound?
Tried moving it to the my documents folder with the ringtones and windows system folder, but the file wasn't recognized. Tried mp3, wav and wma formats.
Like to change the new txt message sound to something else, but not sure how to get it recognized.
thanks.

Just a little bit down the thread.
Found it and uploaded some new sounds. Thanks!
I am not certain how exactly it happened. I am guessing that it has something to do with my deleting a backup folder while my Tilt 2 was connected via Active Sync. However, all of the sub-folders in My Documents (save for Templates, Ringtones and Wallpapers) seem to have been deleted off of my device. I did not have anything in those folders since I primarily use my storage card, but I would like to put those folders back. I added the "My Ringtones" folder myself, and threw a few sound files in their to see if the device would find the folder and it did so I do not believe that any damage to the registry has been done. I just need the exact names of all the sub-folders in My Documents to put everything back the way it was. Thanks!
I read... alot! And every time I download an EPub book it puts the cover art into my gallary as a new folder. I have over 200 in there now! Is there a way to put them into a separate folder and keep the main gallary folder for just my photos - still have them work as far as displaying the art and download to the new folder?? Or perhaps have my photos go to a specific folder?

Create a .nomedia file in your ebook folder and it will skip that folder for scans.
I had to do that for quite a few locations to skip them.

I appreciate it but how would I go about doing that? Not a complete newb, just a partial one.
I use an app called es file explorer for all sort of file/folder related tasks.
I browse to the folder on my internal or external card and hit new to create file in that folder and name that file .nomedia

Tried that but it doesn't seem to be working. I"m searching the device for other places to do this with and see if that works.
That worked! Thanks alot!
I haven't seen this topic discussed here on the M8 Q&A so I applogize if this has been answered.
I just got my M8 yesterday and didn't want to transfer everything over using HTC's transfer tool (going from and HTC Vivid) as I used my Vivid for 2 years and it was kind of cluttered.
Anyway, I copied all my stuff off my old phone and save it on my PC. I moved all the stuff I wanted using Windows Explorer to my M8. A ringtones folder showed up in Windows Explorer under my M8's internal storage so I copied my ringtones I wanted to that folder. They don't show up under setting/personalize. I used root browser to copy the files to system/media/audio/ringtones but the operation failed (I think it's because I'm not rooted). This is the folder that I see the HTC default ringtones in. If I press the + in personalize/ringtones to add new ringtones it takes me to the music folders. I moved the ringtones from the first location into a folder in my music folder named ringtones. They still didn't show up until I removed the .nomedia file. I was able to add them to the list and I assigned them to the contacts I wanted. I don't want to see the ringtones when playing music so I placed the .nomedia file back in the folder. After doing that the ringtones don't show up anymore. What am I doing wrong or can anyone help with this. Really don't want to root at this point.
Thanks
No one knows?
Guess I'll have to root.
I am rooted and still confused. I always thought you could put ringtones, notifications, and alarms under media-->audio on your SD Card (or user storage in this case)—OR create a separate folder for each: ringtones, alarms, notifications on the root of user storage.
But none of these show up in my lists in personalize or under settings-->sound. I don't want to add all of these custom ringtones I've made to the system partition under system/media/audio/ringtones which is where the ringtones that do show up under "sound" or "personalize" actually reside.
What's up with this... Further, a few months ago before some updates, this was working just fine.
have you rebooted? itll show up once you reboot
No.... That's not it. I have been using HTC phones for 5 years. I know how the ringtones/sounds work. This is something else.
If I and maybe the individual who initially created this post above are the only two, then it's just something wonky with the set up.
Could someone just verify it for me?
Take an .mp3 or an .ogg file from your Windows or Linux desktop (I am just going through the steps that once worked perfectly, but now don't work at all), and throw it into Dropbox. Then download it from Dropbox, and stick it into your /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones folder.... Then reboot.
If you see that file when you are in Settings or elsewhere when you are selecting a ringtone, then it's totally my problem. I have not deleted anything from stock, but I have disabled a lot (but things I wouldn't expect to affect ringtones)...so that could be it.
Also, I had disabled CarrierIQ using a bash script that worked quite nicely...But now am wondering if that could have caused it.
All I know is that in the first few weeks of October, I could put any .mp3, .flac, or .ogg file in the above mentioned folder, and after a restart they were all there.
I am also concerned that maybe the 4.4.4 update might have changed something.
Anyway...whoever can help, I very much appreciate it!
SOLVED:
I read this a couple of other places, but I guess this happens some times with certain folders on your SD Card or personal storage.
Sometimes just deleting and recreating the folder will go the trick. This didn't work for me.
So the next solution is to connect to your laptop, confirm everything is working correctly (HTC Sync needs to be installed which is a nuisance). But then I simply copied my media folder from the phone to my Windows desktop.... And then deleted it in the phone. Then I created an empty folder called "media" on the phone... Then copied the contents of the media folder in my Windows desktop, to the media folder I just created, and then, unplugged.
After reboot, all my ringtones, alarms, and notifications were in the list to choose from.
