Using my wma files as 'Message recieved tone'

Ive managed to set my audio files as ringtones but is it possible to set them as a SMS recieved tone?

yip, put the file in the map windows on your mobilephone and choose this file as your receive email sound. PS: i didnt test it with wma but it must work!!!

I'm almost sure its the New sms option in the sounds and notifications , not the new e-mail one.

in fact you can choose sound for many notifications in settings/phone/other settings/ and chose email, sms, even msn messenger notification sound.

when i test it i can only choose my alien.wma
when i change the phonering in notifications
it's not present on the list if i choose sms recieve or mail recieve

You have to copy the file in the \Windows directory and il will then appear listed for SMS too

As far as I know (on XDA I), you can only assign wma files to ringtones. SMS tones need to be wav.
It seems they use different audio engines.

i've tried to copy it to windows and windows/rings
and non of those locations matter to the list of my
sms notification or any other non phone edition spc
notification for that matter

i tried that too, and i conclude that it's not possible to set wma files to sms notification... it has to be wav...
regards

can we make the tone cut of with a push of a button.. my tone goes 4 ages and i cannot cut it of when im reading my msgs!

MsgQueueMapFile in Windows folder

I have noticed recently that my RAM has been decreasing rapidly. I have taken a look inside various folders and found the following files in the Windows folder:
MsgQueueMapFileMicrosoft Broadcast Message SMS Protocol (Receive Only)
MsgQueueMapFileMicrosoft Notification SMS Protocol (Receive Only)
MsgQueueMapFileMicrosoft Raw SMS Protocol (Receive Only)
MsgQueueMapFileMicrosoft Status Message SMS Protocol (Receive Only)
MsgQueueMapFileMicrosoft Text SMS Protocol
MsgQueueMapFileMicrosoft WCMP SMS Protocol
MsgQueueMapFileMicrosoft WDP SMS Protocol
Each are identical in that they are 1.65Mb each.
I have copied them to the Storage Card but I can't delete them from the Windows folder (Access Denied) and I don't even know if I should be deleting them?????
If someone can point me in the right direction as to why these files are so big and how to make sure they stay small, it would be much appreciated.

I have the same inquiry. My files come in 2 set, totalling 14 files. The first set is 2.71M each and the second set is 282b each.
Any ideas?

Windows incorrectly report their sizes. They are just queue files used by the system and don't use much than a few kb if that much

Assigning own .wav file for new text messages

Hi - i can assign custom ringtones for incoming calls.. but not for text messages.
Anyone know how i can change this?
Thanks guys.
(Running on XDA mini S with ROM: 2.16.9.1 WWE)

Place the wav/mp3 etc you want assigning to an SMS tone in the Windows directory, these will then appear in the list for assigning to SMS/Alarms etc

i have tons of wavs in that directory that do not show up when i try to change the notification in Sound Notifications. Anyone know what im missing?

have u tried place the wav to \windows\rings\ ?
PS:the wav files should be within certain bitrates.

yup... if u do that it will work for incoming calls... but NOT FOR TEXT MESSAGES... still haven't figured out how to for texts

I've placed some MP3s in the Windows directory on the device and it works for SMS's. Not sure about wav files though.

how are you assigning the sms sounds? through "sounds and notifications"? cause if i place an mp3 in the windows directory, it does not show up as a selection. i assume it can only read .wav

Problem with large files

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I keep getting these memory eating files that will not delete unless I hard reset called "MsgQueueDataFileMicrosoft Notification SMS Protocol (recieve only)" "MsgQueueDataFileMicrosoft Status Message SMS Protocol (recieve only)" "MsgQueueDataFileMicrosoft RAW SMS Protocol (recieve only)"
"MsgQueueDataFileMicrosoft Notification WCMP Protocol"
"MsgQueueDataFileMicrosoft Text SMS Protocol" "MsgQueueDataFileMicrosoft WDP SMS Protocol" all sized 2.71MBand then pretty much the same but smaller sized at 262KB are files named "MsgQueueMapFileMicrosoft SMS Protocol (recieve only)"
any help on fixing this problem would be greatly apreciated.

after I reset the files are gone for about 30 mins to 1 hour and then show back up.

SMS to storage card

I know there's a lot of programs that let you back up and manage your sms on a storage card or desktop - but what I'm wondering is if there is a way to make incoming/outgoing SMS' stored directly into the storage card rather than taking up space on the device by default?
I've done a search on this but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance!

when the device is off sd interface is 100% disabled to save batt
the device wakes up when it recieve an sms
it would not be able to recieve an sms if i was trying to store it on a
at that point nonexisting media

So what you're saying is that there is no way to make the default sms messages to be stored onto storage rather than system?
Do you guys periodically delete all sms' on your ppc to save space? Or are these sms' really insignificant in terms of space taken up?
Thanks

i guess if one did a program which would hook to the dll that recieve sms's
and when the device had sd contact it could move the sms to the sd card
and display all sms's moved there
but it could be issues with the sms's being in that db structure
i delete sms's i read unless i need to keep them for some reason
rarely have more then 7sms's in my box
sms's are pure text so they really should not take up that much room
if it's ascii 8bit per char and 16 if it's unicode
an ascii sms is 160chars and as 8bit is a byte
it's 160bytes pr. sms
you need alot of those for the storage to get full
of cause irl an sms stored would prob end up a bit bigger
if for no other reason that the sectors of the storage will prob not
save that small values
