Hi
Is there any way to import tones from other devices?
I put some inside the Ringtones folder of Internal Storage but I am not able to select them on telephone or Message apps.
Many thanks...and have a nice Christmas
When choosing a tone, at the upper part there is a "+" button, which lets you add any sound you want

Yes, it works for phone call ringtone, not for message notification sound.
But many thanks for your help, at least I changed the phone call sound
For sms, you need to go to settings,sounds,notifications, there, all sounds you put in the folder "notification" will be available for choosing

I copied a group of .wav files that I use for custom rings and txt message sounds and such to my SD card. The files show up as options when I set the "notification" sound, but do not show up when I try to set the phone ringtone. Am I missing something here? Is there a special place I have to copy the files in order to use them as "phone" ringtones?
Just find the file in the music app, open the file you want, hit menu and select "set as ringtone"
Thanks! It's weird that you have to do that in such a roundabout way.
how are you setting them for text message tones?
try Rings Extended app
lets u choose any audio file on your card to set for a ringer or anything else
havent used ring extender, but ringdroid lets you take clips out of your music as well and then save them as whatever type of notification you want.
K...so am totally stumped with something seemingly so simple. I can't seem to get a ringtone assigned to specific contact. Odd.
For example, I assigned my wife the Angry Birds theme song...yet it still rings as default ringtone.
Someone enlighten me...perhaps I'm an idiot?
How did you assign it? I assigned my wife a ringtone by opening the music app, then long pressing a song, then selecting "set as" , then caller ringtone.

Well...THAT worked. Still odd tho, as normally I could just assign as an option directly through the contact itself. Thanks!

Does that mean Samsung broke Android, and you can't assign a ringtone from inside the contact anymore? That's actually a little annoying...

Press a contact.
Press Menu Button, then Edit.
Scroll down and you'll see Ringtone, press the arrow.
If you already have the ringtones on your SD card in the Media file structure, press "Phone Ringtone". If you have the sounds stored someplace else press "..from My Files"
You can do in editing when the contact is selected

Had already done this...that was my issue. They were assigned, but not working.
I am having a similar ringtone issue. First I have installed handcent. I told it to use handcent as the ringtone pocket. It does not use the handcent ringtone picker. So I copied my ringtones from the external sdcard to the internal one into a folder called media/audio/ringtones. I rebooted the phone and went to pick a ringtone and none of them are showing up. Some of them are ogg files and some are mp3 files. Since I am rooted, I moved them to the/system/media/audio/ringtones folder and they still don't show up. Any ideas what is going on? I am only able to change ringtones from viewing the contact. When I go to menu and select edit, there is no Ringtone item with an arrow beside it.
Hello,
I've changed my default ringtone for all incoming calls with a louder old phone type ringer. I've never changed sms tones before.
Can I have specific sms tones for specific incoming sources? Eg. all friends on one tone and a special one for my office? None of the tones are loud enough for my environment and I do get a lot of texts from the office and for whatever reason they insist on texting emergency requests instead of calling me.
Thanks
Download Zedge from the market then download notification tones and after you download them and hit the set button in the app you have the option to set that tone for whatever you want.

You can hook your phone up to your computer and put any sound you want into the "Notifications" folder. Those will then show up when you go to select them.
You can assign different apps to ring differently, and assign specific contacts a ringtone. Not sure about groups, though...

Thanks - I've installed Zedge, I then went to my phone system options, sound, default notification. If I select zedge, it says there are no tones. Is there a place to load it on my phone from my computer? I don't need any katy perry songs, just a really loud ring or buzzer. I put a custom sound in my internal storage notifications folder - I'd like to make that the default sound for only one sender of texts, everything else could have the default sound.

Thanks I tried a few different sounds but no matter what I pick when a new text comes in I only get a very quiet ding dong type sound.

So you're saying when you go into Settings > Sounds > Default notification, no matter what you set it to your incoming notification is different? Even with stock sounds?
Have you gone into Messaging > Settings > Choose ringtone, and select "Default ringtone" from the scrolling list. Does it change? It should play the sound when you touch it.

Yes- no matter what sound I choose even stock sounds - I get a double chime - kind of like ding dong. I'm using full stock Verizon GN. No rooting.
I can change the default ringtone for phone calls.
I did also reboot after changing the default and I still get the ding dong type sound which is not the sound I set for it. The sound it makes is Pollux for incoming SMS messages but I've tried to set it to several others such as even vega or proxima but it always makes the Pollux sound.
I'm going through
- settings
- Sound
- default notification
Is there some place else I should be going to to change the sms incoming text sound?
I cant get my default notification sound to change - I can change the gmail new email sound to change from within the gmail settings but for pop email, sms etc the sound doesn't change no matter which sound I pick?
Am I doing something wrong?
Tks
Have a look at the guide below.

Personalizing with sound sets
Each sound set gives you a different combination of sounds for your ringtone and notifications such as incoming messages, email, calendar event reminders, and more. By switching between sound sets, you can instantly make HTC One X ring or alert you with fun sounds when you're out with friends or change to subtle sounds while you're at work.
Creating a sound set
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Personalize.
On the Sound tab, tap Sound set.
On the Sound sets screen, tap .
Enter a new sound set name, and then tap Done.
The newly created sound set is then added to the list of sound sets. You can assign different tones to the sound set to your preference.
Changing your ringtone, notifications, and sounds
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Personalize.
On the Sound tab, tap Sound set.
Choose a sound set you want to customize, or create a new one, and then tap Apply.
Change the ringtone, notification sound, and alarm from the Personalize screen.
HTC One X automatically saves your choices to the current sound set.
Deleting sound sets
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Personalize.
On the Sound tab, tap Sound set.
Tap .
Select one or more sound sets you want to delete.
Tap Delete.

I think the poster meant that regardless of which sound you set as notification sound, it will still use the default notification sound. Just to clarify, even though it wasn't necessary as I've owned an htc android phone before, I did read the guide as i was stumped too. I can select any custom sound for notifications, it just doesn't use it. It's different for email notifications though, that will use the sound I set without problems... Anyone have a fix? It was like this since it first came out of the box.

Happened to me on an earlier release of leedroids rom I just reinstalled and it fixed it
If on stock all you can do it factory reset or run a RUU.

On the above settings, I am trying to add custom ringtones. If I click on "Ringtones" I get a list of ringtones to choose from, but at the bottom of the dialog I also have "Add Cancel OK". I can click on the "Add" and add my own ringtones. This is great.
However when I click on "Notification ringtone " I do not have the option to Add any new tones. Why is that?
To complicate matters a bit more, in this list of available Notification ringtones I have a bunch of sounds and at the top there is "Silent". If I select this it would mean that all my incoming messages will be silent.
If I want however to silence just one or two contacts, I go to the contacts, select the contact, edit it, and try to modify the field "Message tone", but now this list does not contain "Silent" anymore!
In other words, I cannot add a custom sound file for "Notification ringtone" (there is no Add button) and I cannot select "Silent" Message tone for a particular contact as it seems this option has been removed! I can only select "Silent" Message tone in the Sound settings for ALL messages!
Is there a way around this?
