Hi
How can we change the sound when receiving a SMS message ?
Can we do it by callerid ?
thank you
You can change the sound notification under Sounds & Notification, once you open Sounds & Notifications go to Notification window there you will be able to change the sounds for different alerts.
And how to add a new SMS sound file to the device? It cannot be done by adding the *.mp3 or *.wav file to /windows/rings folder...
no but you can explore to where you put the ringer, tap and hold it, and choose add as ringer. that automatically puts it into the ringer folder and populates the drop list.
You can add a new SMS alert by putting a .wav file into the /windows folder, and then go to Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications /Messaging: New Text Message, where you can choose your new .wav from the list.

Its not a file your looking for its a folder.
From your device
Open up file Explorer and there is a drop down list at the top left. Choose My Device then scroll down and you will see your windows folder.
From You PC with the Exec Connected.
Open activesync and click explore from the top. Then double click on the first line "My Windows Mobile-Based Device" . Then you should see your windows folder there.
Does anyone know how I can change the sound that is played when you send a SMS

Folks, iam not so familiar with Smartphones yet. I tried to set a ring tone for incoming SMS. There are some sounds selectable in a Listbox. I choose one and press the play button but i can not hear any sound.
What do i wrong? Where are these sounds to find in the directory structure?

HTC Wizard is a Pocket PC not a Smartphone. What brand do you have?
hey, im not sure the problem with no playing, but im curious to know if there is a way to add different sms tones on the wizard. I know how to add ringtones, just not the ones like sms or alarm tones. All there is are the rubbish windows that sound awful. Any help guys?

add ne .wav file into the windows directory then go to... Start -> Settings -> Sound & Notifications -> Notifications -> Event: Messaging: New text message... and they shud b in the drop down list
I have got the thing: you have to activate in sounds and notification (the first tab): check programs and check notification
After this it works.
Still doesn't work
I have tried to copy my .wav files into every available directory, but can't find them back in the pull-down menu.
Also, I cannot find any Windows directory on my MDA VARIO.
Any help?
yeah, where are sounds supposed to be located for the other (non phone ring) events to "see" them in the Sounds & Notifications list?
i put some sounds in both Rings and My Music and the non-phone ring events just don't see them (phone ring event does)!
Damn MSFT, why do they have to make simple things difficult!
Found it!
The non-ringtone sounds should be copied in the Windows directory, which can be found in the Explorer of your PDA/MDA. Also the Windows directory can be found if you have set up your Active-Sync correctly.
Just click my Mobile device and then the Windows directory should appear.
Works for me perfect! anyone with some cool *.wav's?
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

to set an Audio file as your Alert:
Activesync:
Using Activesync, select ""Explore"".
Open the ""Windows Mobile-based device""
Open the ""Application Data"" Folder.
Drag and drop file into the ""Sounds"" folder.
To set the file as your tone, go to Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications Tab>Select file from drop down.
Windows Mobile Device Center:
Using WMDC, select ""File Management"" and ""Browse the contents of your device"".
Open the Application Data Folder.
Locate and open the ""Sounds"" folder.
Drop the file into the ""Sounds"" Folder.
To set the file as your tone, go to Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications Tab>Select file from drop down.
From an SD Card:
On your device, go to Start>Programs>Tools>File Explorer.
Locate the file.
Highlight the file and tap Men>Edit>Copy.
Navigate to and open the “Application Data” Folder.
Open the “Sounds” folder.
Tap Menu>Edit>Paste.
To set the file as your tone, go to Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications Tab>Select file from drop down.
Is there any way that I can add my own sounds for notifications such as new sms and email etc.
Also, how do you send via bluetooth, with my spvm2000 it was a simple case of clicking on the file to be sent, click on send to bluetooth, job done, but there doesn't seem to be that option available.
Changing the sound settings will let you change the sounds.
To send via bluetooth, click Beam file. Bluetooth devices will appear below the IRDA ones.
thanks cymru,
re. the sound, what folder would i put the mp3 file?
re. the bluetooth, does this include mp3's and jpg's
Bluetooth - You can send any type of file this way, if thats what your asking?
Ringtones - Put in ~/Windows/Rings/
If that directory doesnt exist put into ~/Windows/
Then go to 'Start' --> 'Settings' --> 'Phone' --> [then choose the ringtone in the dropdown list.]

found the problem, have been using file resco explorer which only gives you the option of irda and email sending rather than the normal file explorer.
Still having problems setting my own sms notification though, maybe you can't do that on this device.

as for the ringtone it can be mp3 too

thanks zuz, tried using wma,wav and mp3 as sms alert but still only get offered the default sounds, whereas with the incoming call I get offered all the various formats of audio I have on the phone, finally found the correct windows folder by using file explorer rather than using resco as a lot of the folders are hidden

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.
