SMS Ring Tones ?!?

I just want to know how to change the SMS tone to be .mp3 ??
i've placed the mp3 file under the windows folder but couldn't
see it in the drop-down list of SMS tones !!!
thank you in advance geeks ..

you need to use wav files in the windows folder for it to work
I am not a Geek!

But if I can use MP3 Files as a normal Call-Ringtone, why not also using MP3 Files as a SMS Sound?! :?:

I have absolutely no idea!! does that help?

Thanx ..
thanx guys for the help. In my opinion, it's impossible to set mp3 files as sms ring tones, you have to convert them into wav files.

havent tried it but I think you can use wma files with phonealarm

Where did you find a dialogue to select different message alert sounds? I can only find choices for ring tones, not message alerts. I've looked through the phone options and the manual but can find nothing about changing message alerts.

Doh! I just found it in Settings/Sounds & Notifications. It's a shame there is no consistent approach to setting ring tones and SMS alerts. No matter, problem solved.

Text Message Notification sounds

I have an HTC Touch from Bell Mobility and there is one thing that I have as of yet been unable to do with it. I would really like to be able to choose my own personal sound for when I am receiving text messages but there appears to be no way to actually do this.
Is there possibly a program that would allow this or a place on the HTC where I could place the sounds I want for when I receive texts so that it will show up in the default settings program for setting up the notification sounds?
Please help

Start->Settings->Sounds & Notifications - Notification tab->Events -> Messaging:New text message
Prem

Also dont forget to convert the sound to .WAV format and copy it into the Windows folder

I have done that but it does not allow me to choose any sounds that I have downloaded like as an example I cannot set it to have the Mail mofo from eurotrip for whenever I get a new text message. it will only allow me to choose from the sounds that it came with.

Are you saying that the drop down list only shows one sound?

how do i convert to Wav format? i also have a problem with text sounds i can only seem to use the sounds that come stock for continuous notifications, when i try to add my own it plays it once or twice (for a couple text) but after tht when i receive new text ther is no sound...is it because they are mp3's does tht even matter? they are only like 2seconds long each...any help would be appreciated

I am just saying that there is only the stock sounds and that I am unable to add any extra sounds to it that I want to have as my sound for when I get text messages.

I'd suggest using Audacity to convert your sound into .wav file. Once you've done that, put the file in \Windows and it should appear in the drop down menu on your "Sounds and Notifications" page. It really isn't that complicated - the only reason I can think it isn't working for you is because you either have the file in the wrong format or you haven't put it into the \Windows folder.

Put your .WAV files in My device -> Application data ét voila, they appear in the list!

well first off it dont have to be in WAV format, MP3 will be fine
butyou cant use an entire song, because there is no wasy to stop it.... meaning no matter how many buttons u press yer gonna have to hear the entire song before the ring ends....\
now imagine, I get an average of 2000 txtx a month, could you imagine heariung the same song 2000 times>???
sometimes 20-30 times in a row???
anyways soooooo where u need to put the rings for text messaging is directly in yur windows folder on yer device....
here is my favorite i made from Euro Trip - Mail Mother F**Ker

Ringtone notification (mail or ect..) on Tmo-Wing

I've searched all over this forum (sorry if I missed it or something) but is there a way to get my own custom ringtone for whenever I receive mail or a voicemail. I already have custom ringtones for my phone itself... but I can't seem to be able to get anything no matter how I try to show up in my "notification sounds" section on my wing. Any help would be appreciated.
I happen to hate the selection of tones for my Voicemail and SMS and would like to make my own.

I need answer of this question

Just put the ringtone you want in the Windows directory and it'll show up in the notification sounds list.

looks like u beat me to it lol

My ringtones is in \sd card\windows\ and ringtone ok now. But sms, mms, e-mail notification sounds not appears. I tried to put them to \windows\ directory (not sd card, i mean main memory) then its ok. Sms, mms, e-mail notification sounds should be in \windows\ directory? Or have any idea for SD card?

not sd in main memory as a quick answer

costumising the txt massege alert

Hey ya all..this is my first time i am posting a thread i just want to know how can i chan ge the text massege alert with any tune,not with those one's which are already in there,i have downloaded some tunes and i am having problem or i dont have any idea how can i make it new txt msg tone.

you can just put the sound file you want in the windows folder and you can then select it from the drop down menu in notifications for new text message, if you have mp3 you can use the mp3 trimmer program and then in the options save as text message or incoming call sound there are a few ways to do you can try searching for more choices

this. Don't put it in the Windows/ring folder. Drop the ringtone in the windows folder itself. That's what I had to do. Hope that helps.

I also suspect the my documents folder works too.

Saving music files to SD Card/My Documents worked for me.. All work as a rigntone.. For text message I believe the songs have to be over a certain file size, i had some 15-30 secons text message ringtones on my previous phone and these arent picked up on the HTC HD2 if i want them as text message ringer.. The complete songs work fine..

Does anyone know how to stop a text message ringtone without opening the text message?? I have a 2 minute song as as txt ringtone and it wont stop playing unless i actually open the messaging folder to see the text.. Also, if i get a txt the song will start playing, and if i get another txt 5 seconds later, the same song will play again overlapping previous txt ringtone.. thus both songs play at same time until i open message..
Any help is appreciated..

Any help??
Also my on my brothers HTC HD2 we are having a problem where the sms ringtone is causin his phone to freeze half way thru the song.. He has a regular song as sms.

There is no way to Stop the sound with out opening the ringtone, The best advice I can give is to make the ringtone shorter. Normaly around 3 sec or so

Thanks for the advice.. However, I added some 10-15 second mp3 songs i had.. And the phone doesnt detect them in order to use them as sms ringers. Seems to be that the file has to be over a certain size.. Anyone else has this issue?
Another observation was that if you fo to Setting> All Setting> Sound & Notifications.. Notifications tab, Select Incoming Message, and select Display Message on Screen.. Then the ringtone no matter how long it is, it will only sound for 3-5 seconds and stop...
