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...

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
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

EDIT-----
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.
Hi,
Ideally, I would like to get just an icon notification with e-mail, but a vibrate+sound+icon when I get SMS.
I went to the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
And under there I find two entries that seem to be relevant:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408} (which describes itself as "Messaging: New e-mail message")
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408} (which describes itself as "Message: New message")
I didn't find any that explictly called itself "New SMS".
So, if I set the first one's "Options key" to only show an icon and the second to noise/vibrate/etc, it seems that both SMS and e-mail use the first and ignore the second.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks,
Michi
editing the notification registry is a bit different. The number value tells it whether to ring, vibrate, vib+ring, etc.
Whats wrong with going to start-settings-sounds & notifications and editing them there?
I did go there.... same story, I can't seem to differentiate between emails and SMS they seem to use the same setting. So I thought maybe there was a way to get there via the registry.

If you go into the settings>sounds¬ification>notifications, then hit the drop down box for New Email Message and uncheck the box for play sound and uncheck the vibrate box as well and it will only show you the notification when the email comes in. Then you have seperate options for the new SMS as well.
Hey,

anyone?
same problem here i am a contractor and get most jobs via txt need help asap where are our senior members
Hmm... I'm not sure. I've not encountered this before. Which ROM and lockscreens are you using?
HTC Tilt2 (AT&T) Official ROM Update newest from htc site
To display the preview you have to do two things:
1. Wake Up on new SMS
Use a registry editor and change "HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIN\RIL" "DisableSMSWakeUpEvent" from "1" to "0"
2. Go to Start Menu > Settings > Personal > Sounds and then go over to the Notifications tab. Chose "Messaging: New text message" from the drop down menu. Then check the boxes that say "Play sound" and "Display message on Screen."
That should do it.
thanks soft reseting now
no go on the fix the screen lights up but no notifacation until the phone is unlocked
If you're using the stock or HTC lockscreen, then that's how it's supposed to be. If you want the message to pop up on the display à la iOS, then try a different lock screen like S2U2. There is a setting in there to make the message display on the lockscreen and either view (reply) or dismiss it.
still didnt do the trick phone has to be unlocked to get mms sms notify
about to give up and hard reset out the window

Right, that's how the stock lock screens are designed. That's why I suggested to install S2U2. It does what you're asking for.
i have had this phone for over a year it always notified me when a new sms came through whenn the phone was looked did i mention it notifies me off email but not sms
Hey,
Ye those things dont work.
I did a hard reset, and now it works propperly again, and my phone is way faster.
To bad this was my sollution.

Well, if nlueray112 got it working after a hard reset, then my guess is that something you've installed or tweaked has disabled or broken the feature. If you aren't comfortable doing a hard reset, then simply try S2U2 as I suggested. It does what you are looking for within the app, without calling WM for a pass off.
Is it possible somehow to turn off message delivery tone and just be notified about it in the notification bar...
Thanks in advance

Yes. If you're using stock MMS app then go to the MMS app, press Menu, select Settings, There will be Notification Settings in that there is an option called Slect ringtone, Go into that and select Silent !!!

I know that option but if I put it on silent then my incoming SMS and MMS messages will also be without any tone. Let me rephrase the question...I want to set somehow to be notified for SMS and MMS messages with tone but I don't want to be notified like that for delivery reports. Just with notification. Is this possible? Or is there any mod for text messages that can be used to fix that?
