sms tones
Hi there.
Actually, there is a way to use wav files for sms tones.
Put your desired wav file in the \windows folder.
Go to Notifications, messaging:new text message and voila! use your wav file as your SMS tone.
:wink:

Not with MP3, that is not possible!

well i lied a bit lol ! an mp3 converted to a wav file almost an mp3 !!! tried the above still cant get it to add it to the standard ring tones ie the alarm1 alarm 2 and so on !
ive only had phone for a month so please in very easy english lol :shock:

how do i get an wav file in to this bit of the phone ???
from the active>settings>sounds&notifications>notifications
1 select an event
change that to inbox:new sms message
2 select how to be notified
tick box play sound then in the sound box all i can get is
alarm 1 , 2, 3, 4, default ,hwandsw ,infbeg ,infend ,loudest ,lowbatt ,menupop msgbox ,notify ,online ,quietest ,recend ,type ,voicbeep
pleas ecould some one tell me how to get a wav file in there with out a patch would be lovley !

Copy a wav file in the windows directory (in your PDA),, now go to Sound & Notification and see if you got that file under "TEXT MESSAGE" in the list. :? :lol: :?

Help with alarms and receving text messerging sounds

Hi there can any1 help me out on this.I'm having truble hearing received txt messerges.Allso can't here the alarm.
I was wondering if there is any chance that I can use my ring tones and my alarms and received txt messerges like I do on my old p900 even reall tunes are not a problem.
If you can do this where do I put my rig tones what fold to thay go in so I can use them for what I need them for.I guess that I would have to put them into two different folders one for reciving txt messerges and one for alarm.
I cant seem to find the folders with the tunes allready in them that are allready in the phone.For using recived txt messerging or and alarms that are allready on the phone.Maybe if I could find them I mite be able to add my tunes to both of them.
Please help me out
thanx

You put your ringtones into the device\windows\rings folder. The format can be anything from mp3, wav, midi, wma
For email notification, your sound file MUST be in wav format, and should be placed in device\windows folder. You can appoint the new wav sound to be the default notification sound under Settings/Sounds & Notifications
For alarms, the sound file also MUST be wav. Put it under device\windows. Set up the alarm using the time applet on the Today screen
Hope that helped

Thanx for your help ill try that.If I can't get it to work ill let u. know thanx mono33

Hi does the wav sound need to be put into a folder in the device\window settings.Thanx mono33

All the WAV sound files must be in device\windows, not a subfolder (otherwise they won't show up in settings/sound&notifications)
Ringtones must be put device\windows\rings (WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG...)
It won't hurt to experiment a bit, does it?

Changin Alarms/Texts tones

Hi,
New to all of this so go easy on me !!!
I want to know if it is possible to change the Alarm tones and Text tones (other than those supplied on it) .... ie. for adding new ring tones I have just put them in /windows/rings ... however, when I look for the alarm/text tones they sit in /windows .... whenever I put anything in there it does not get recognised in the settings under 'notifications' etc.
Make sense !?!?!?!? Anyone help ?
Cheers
Rob.

Adding ring tones for notifications(alarms and events)
just add any wave file in windows folder of your mobile it appears as ring tone in notification for alarms and other events

Does anyone know any good free sites to download various ring/notification wav files? I have a bunch of files that I've obtained or clipped from songs/etc, but it would be nice to see what else is out there.

Strange Ringtone Problem

I got a strange problem. I put a couple of short mp3 files to use as ringtones they are like 126k. If i use it as a ringtone (like when my phone rings) it works fine. But if i try to go to settings/ sounds and notifications/ go to notifications and try to add it as for example a mms downloaded or new voice mail when I go to choose my tones the new .mp3 tones do not show up. But if in the same window I go to Phone: incoming call i am able to choose those files.
Help if you can.
Thanks

They need to be in your /windows folder to show up.

thanks,
They are in my Windows/ring folder where all of the other ringtones are.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Customised ring tone

Hi, I have had my HD2 for close to 2 months already and have yet to find a way to set mp3 or personalized audio files as ring tones. Any body can help?
Thanks in advance.

put the file you want as ring into windows/rings.

Thanks. Managed to set it as ring tone. But message tones cant be customised ?

You can try putting the mp3 files in My documents folder. Makesure not in any sub folder and give it a try. This way you can customise either your ringtone or message tones

thanks alot. Managed to get it done. ^ ^
