After I upgraded to WM6, I lost the "default" text message alert tone. I dont know if you guys know which one Im talking about, but I'd really like to get it back!
If anybody still has it, could they email me the file? or tell me where I can download it back.
The alert tones that come with WM6 suck and I don't know where to download text message alert tones..
Thanks!
Hi Chrissystar.
I dont know what "default" alert tone you were using but most of them are stored on " My windows Mobile" in the windows folder.
But you can use any small .wav file as your tone I was using Rom 4. something and could play the catchphrase. But I know have upgraded to 6.1 and cant play it anymore. I keep getting Memory to low to play. so looking for a new one.
If you have any Music on your phone just highlight it with your pen and within the menu that pops up it asks if you want to use the file as your ringtone.
any way if I find some decent text tones I will post a link to you. OK

Hi everyone,
Just recently picked up the O2 xda 2s unit, given to me free of charge by o2 for continuing my contratc with them. I must say im pretty impressed by the unit as a whole, yes it has its bugs but tell me which phone hasnt lol. I have SE P900 which likes to keep crashing on me every so often even though it has the latest firmware on it.
But anyways im new here and wanted to say hello and also ask a question that may have been asked before but i couldnt see it anywhere so here i am
Right is there any way i can put a different tone to the one that is already on there for the sms, mms and email alerts???. I couldnt see for the life of me anywhere on the pda where you could change the incoming tone alert unless im blind or something lol. On my P900 you can easily change or put any alert tone for your mms, sms and emails etc but so far havent been able to do that with my XDA2S.
So does anyone have any ideas if this is possible or not???...also not forgetting is there anyway the phone could be louder or vibrate when you have an incoming sms, mms or email as i tend to miss most of them when they do arrive.
Thanks for any advice
Hmmm so no one knows if they can do this or anything???
I have the t-mobile mda III so it might be slightly different with the menus however you might be able to make it work for yours.
As you wil know you are unable to select any other file than those already in the sounds and notifications menu however you can add an extra ring tone but that only works for phone calls.
As a work round when your phone is being connected to your pc you can explorer your device either thru my computer or Active Sync. This will then allow you go to the Windows directory like you would on a normal computer. If you then copy your file that you want as your sms tone to here you will then be able to select it from sound and notifications.
Another good one I found is that by changing the sound files in the windows folder you can also have a very nice sound everytime a menu pops up plus a whole host of different event sounds.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction as it works on the mda III
I Cant find this anywhere and wondered if its possible to change the sound/alert that is heard when an SMS (not MMS) has been sent.
I'm sure I managed it before but nothing appears under 'sounds and notifications' and I cant remember how I did it before if I did at all!
At present i see a pop up box saying 'Message Sent' and hear an alert tone that I'm not keen on, its certainly not what it was before a recent o2 rom upgrade. Currently its the same sound as the sound heard when youre SMS cannot be sent (because of no signal) whereas before these two sounds were most definately different to one another.
Ive taken a look here which is a starting point
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/htc...eep-popup.html
this information is not quite what i need because....
There is still no differentiation between the alert sound of an SMS that was sent successfully or one that has failed, since the alert sound falls under one category of "Default" notification accross the phone.
It's kind of half of the info I need, if you like.
I have no idea how this was different on my previous 02 ROM but if it helps to explain a little more then the "Default" pop up alerts were "Alarm2" (IE: message not sent & all other notifications/alerts) & the SMS Sent successfully alert/pop up was "Alarm1".
Im guessing this would need an additional registry key adding in the notifications part of HKCU, but I wouldnt know where to start
Terribly sorry think I found my answer here, yet to test

NO that wasnt right, still searching......................
Did anyone ever find a solution to this?
I'm looking to delete the annoying SMS sent tone but just keep the 'Message sent' speech bubble - is this possible?
"same problem" here ...
edit: done, i've managed to put a mp3 sound ^_^
Please share how you resolved issue?
sorry ... i didn't concentrate when i read the topic .. i didn't know how to change the sms ringtone .. sorry
Resolved
Found out how - you need to edit registry and replace the target .wav file with whatever one you want to use (must be stored as a .wav file in windows directory).
Navigate to HKEY_Current_User > Control Panel > Notifications > Default and then change Wave string to point to your new .wav file.
I recorded a 0.25 second blank .wav file & put it in windows folder so no annoying sound now, just the speech bubble notification & the envelope icon pops up which is fine.
Several years ago I found an app here called Txt Secretary which allowed me to customize my text message notification by contact so that everyone that sent me a text message had their own alert tone so I would know who was texting me just by which alert was played which I really liked a lot & it was working great until about three days ago. Now I can't find the cab that I had for the program & for some reason the program is no longer working. I really liked that program & want to be able to have different text alerts depending on who is texting me so can anyone please help me out w/this. It is really important to me to be able to have the distinction of who is texting me by the alert tone that is played. If anyone has this cab or knows where I can get it please let me know. Thank you

Maybe?
Thx but that is not the program that I am looking for. I want the program that will allow me to change the txt tone that is played depending on who is sending me the txt.
Can anyone help me. I am trying to assign specific message ringtones to different people in my contacts, however I can't seem to get it to work. It will only play the default message ringtone and not the one I assigned in the contact information. Is this a bug that can't be fixed or is there a way to get this to work? I contacted Samsung support techs and they said it's a Verizon problem not a Samsung one.
Any help with this I would really appreciate it.
If you are using the Samsung Message App, you can set the message tones when you edit the contact>Add another field>Scroll down to message tone.
If you are using the Verizon Message app. Select a conversation>swipe left to right>scroll down to tones.
Hi everyone...
I've tried everything to change the message tone on my phone.
I can change notifications but there doesn't seem to be an option in messages or in sounds to select a SMS tone?
In previous phones there was the option when selecting a tone/mp3 etc... to 'use as' then pick SMS tone.
Does anyone know how to change sms tone...?
Thanks for any help...

You could've ask that question on google and get the answer immediately...
Since Android 8 custom SMS notifications were moved inside the app/app notification settings. Go to Messages>General Settings>Notifications>Other notifications>Advanced and from there select the sound you'd like for your SMS messages.
I think that this way cant change the tone. First go to market find massages and then select uninstall. This will remove only updates, not the whole massage app. Then go to stings-advancend and find the tone you want to use. Finlay update the app
Hi again..
Tried uninstalling the app.
Went to sounds and still no option to change the message tone under advanced...?
This is weird as it's usual in other phones...?
Is there an access option I need to select somewhere...¿
Can't find the actual tones either on the SD card or internal storage....?
Was thinking I could maybe set it from there...?
Thanks

Stop listening to stupid replies and do this: Messages>General Settings>Notifications>Other notifications>Advanced
Following the steps you'll get what you need. In my case I use the iPhone TriTone.mp3 sound. The custom sounds must be placed in internal memory>ringtones.
Hi..
Just found that before I read your post..went in exactly as you said and have changed the tone....?
Cheers...
