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

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

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

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

You use Photo Contact Pro v5?
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

copy whatever ringtone or sound you want to use in your device's
application data/sounds folder so you can choose it from your settings . If you already have it on your phone, just use resco explorer to move it or copy it.

thanks alot
Is there any way to set a non standard ringtone for text notifications? Setting them up as normal ringtones is not a problem but I seem to only have standard alerts to choose from for text notifications. And I don't really like them.
open the text app and go to the settings and the notification settings are down the page

You should have root privelage for this and If ur defy is ROOTED than :
1. Use Root explorer
2. Go to /system/media
3. /Audio/notification.
4. copy your desired ringtone here.
5. Now close root explorer and may be you can restart the phone.
6. NOW ur ringtone appear in notification in settings>>Sound>>Notification tone
Njoy !!!
Root is not needed. On the sd card make these:
Media/Audio/Ringtones
Media/Audio/Notifications
and put your favorite sounds in it.
So I have a few customer ring tones that I transfered over from my EVO 4G. They are in the Mp3 format and I am able to set the ring tone on an individual level, but I cant set it as a default ringtone.
So how does one set a customer ringtone that is an MP3 as the default ringtone?
Notifications as while?
Much Obliged for all of your help in advance.
Go to settings, then sound. You'll be able to set phone ringtone as well as notification ringtone.
I should have said that I have already tried that. There is no option that lets me pick the sounds that are on my SD card.
For example when I go into my contacts list and go to ringtone, there is three options, Default Ringtone, Select sounds from My Files and Phone Ringtone.
Now when I go to Sounds it just gives me a bunch of generic sound files. Nothing from my selection.
you just move the sound file to the /media folder using any file manager app. Then it should show up in the list of sounds when you set your ringtone. The same steps can be done for notification sounds. If you're confused, there's plenty of youtube video tutorials showing you step by step information.
I do it this all the time, I create custom ringtones with Audacity (cut out the chorus and fade the track in and out so it sounds cleaner). Right now I have the Jetsons door bell as my notification sound
Just a wild guess that you didn't put your custom ringtones in the proper file location on your SD card.
You need to create a folder called "media" (no quotes). Inside that folder create a folder called "audio". Inside that folder create 3 separate folders called "alarms", "notifications" and "ringtones".
Place your custom ringtones in the ringtones folder, reboot (not sure if that's necessary) and your customs will show up.

Thanks alot guys. That was exactly my problem, I did not have the media folder.
Wasn't exactly sure where it should have gone so I used ringdroid to create another Ringtone and it place the media folder along with the Ringtone folder on my SD card.
Always amazes me how simple a problem can be resolved if you have one price of information.
Thanks again. You are the best.

DO I have to have the same ringtones on all the folders so I can place custom ringtones in say text email etc..?
thanks
if not where are the text ringtones located at? I did a search by name and nothing came up though I have ring tones to choose from
thank you again
You can always download RINGDROID from the market. It lets you "trim" your mp3's and set them as default/contact ring tone or notification.
So far that is the best way I found to work in my phone.
