does anyone know of a way to select a .wav file as an alarm sound?
Copy the .wav file into your \windows directory.
Go to Start | Settings | Sounds and Notifications | Notifications (bottom tab) | Choose "reminders" in the drop-down box then select your .wav file in the second drop-down box.
Thanks jimmy-bish... I had originally placed the wav file in "my music folder" so it wasn’t listed as a sound option in the drop-down menu.

I found many posts how to change ringtone and allerts sound, never how to change SMS sound ??
Any ideas ??
Thanks for reply (I hate my sms sound)!!!
Finaly found that.
Settings->Sounds->Notifications->(Event change to sms
But this way you can only use wav files from Windows directory. I use PhoneAlarm 1.3 and store (and use for SMS) WMA melodies on Storage - very good.

you can use mp3 sounds for sms notification with ringo mobile. 8)
Here comes ...
By navigating links from this page (I think URL is correct) you can find info you need.
Convert the ringtones to WAV format, then put the WAV files in the \Windows folder. Then you can select them as SMS notification sound.

Thank you
you can also just copy .mp3 or .wav files to
\Application Data\Sounds
haven't tried .mid yet
Ringo Stinks...
Yuup you may choose Phone Alarm...
I used to use Ringo, but it sucks... it often to keep "silent" n no sound from my mp3 I ever chose.
thank you nuumuun. worked first try
found a way how to do it
Copy your files to:
Application Data\Sounds\
I copied BOTH MP3 AND MID files there and it worked!!!
I'm not sure but I think I read somewhere that you must make sure that the extension of the files are uppercase and for midi files it must be MID and not MIDI

SOLVED
Seems the wav file had to go in the main windows directory to be recognised on the list.
Hi.

Tap the Event dropdown and choose "Messaging: New text message"
Make sure "Play sound" is ticked, and tap the dropdown to choose your sound.
Your MP3 filename *should* be there.
Tap the play button to test that it is the right one, then tap OK.
You now have an MP3 sound for your text notification.

Ok ZenithUK.
Thanks for yours instructions.
Plz modz, close the topic.
Hey guys,
I have looked threw the forum and could not spot anything about changing the SMS sound on the HD2. Is this possible? If I have missed a post or tip somewhere explaining about this apologies for the repeat post.
Cheers
Take a look in sound & notification
Go to settings then press menu then choose all settings then choose sounds and notifications then go to the notifications tab and on the event drop down box choose message: new message and then select your sound
What the first poster says is how will he add more sounds as sms alarms....
If he means this he/she should add the file he likes in Device Memory\Application Data\Sounds and then search the sounds through sound and notifications
hi
you need to put the sound in wav format and place it into your windows directory. these will then be available for you to select in sounds and notifications. the ringtone files can just be put in the windows/rings folder or the rings folder in my docs
I've got mp3 files in the "my documents" folder on my device, and they show up in all the notification and ringtone lists.
how do i change message ringtone to mp3? someone help me plssssssss!
hey
just put the .mp3 in the documents folder on your phone
you should have a My Documents\My Ringtones (preferred) or there is a Windows\Rings, either one will do.
then go to settings, sounds, notifications tab, from Event: drop down select Phone: Incoming call.

the Q is for atext message not an incoming call..
So this won't help.
As far as i now, you cannot use an mp3 for this.
change it into a WAV frmat and it will work.
it might be possible you need to put it in a special location (such as the windows folder or the my documents folder)
Yeah it's possible,
either do as gazzacbr said, but choose "Messaging: New text message" you can change almost all the phones sounds here...
I preffer this easier way (for me)
Slide to settings > Press Sounds > Scroll to bottom for "Notification Sounds" > Press the notification you want to change and select it off the list
If the mp3 isnt listed then use the FileManager, find your mp3 and hold down on it, when the menu appears scroll down to "Set as Ringtone" which actually just puts it in on the list of selectable tones. Then simply repeat the steps above.
- I should probably note, I downloaded an update off HTC's website that had something to do with MP3 ringtones but I could initially do this beforehand anyway.

I can't find it... can you please put it here?
He said he wants a mp3 to be used as a new text message tone. this is something even i wanted to ask, but well it cant be done. tried everything. the patch is for something else. tried putting it into my ring tones folder, tried putting the mp3 (a 26sec file) into windows ring folder but na nothing, restarted still nothing. the only thing i think will work is to try converting it into .wav format.
@rvrosa its there in touch2 support.
it can be done. i currently use a MP3 file as my SMS alert, and a different MP3 as my email alert.
If my previous technique doesnt work, copy the desired MP3 to the root of your microSD card. It will automatically list it in the selectable ringtones
under mobile device go into the folder that says application data then the folder that says sounds, put the mp3 in there and you should be able to select it for your sms.
