Text tones - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this has been asked . But how do you add your music for a text message tone. Do you have to convert them to a ogg file ?

Create a folder on the root of your SD card called "Media". Inside that make a folder called "Notifications", put the song in there. Reboot your phone then it should show up as a notification tone

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...

add ring tone

Hi All,
This is a really simple one.
Can I paste a ring tone or an alert (mp3) into the phone or SD card memory and then select it?
I tried but the phone doesn't find the file - where do I need to put it?
Cheers.
Create a folder called ringtones and it should then pick it up
What about alert?
people say to create a folder called media on your sd card with sub folders called ringtones, alarms, etc so you can do that

Gmail notification

Anyone know how to take an MP3 from the SD card and be able to use it with Gmail as the notification tone?
same thing with Text messaging?
This should do it.

Ive got it trimmed down and made.. but it wont give me an option to use it in gmail or in my message settings
Put it in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications
You can also make ringtones and alarms directories for ringtones and alarms.

I do it with es file explorer. Just hold down the song with a longpress and multiple options appear.

I figured it out...
the easiest way is to make folders in your SD card called ringtones and notifications.
by doing that they will show up in the selection boxes

How to make custom default ring tones?

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.
