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.

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

hey, does anyone know where the Os stores the tones tht you can use for sms alerts?
i want to add my own to it but i cant see an option for it and was thinkin tht if i could add it to the folder then it might appear in the given list of tones?
cheers
All the sounds for the alerts are stored in the windows directory. If you convert your tones/songs to .wav format then you can use them for sms, alarm clock and other alerts. keep them short though. I think you may have to run the 'add ringtone' program and select the files. You can run ringtones from anywhere in the windows folder but if you use .wma files they need to go directly in to the windows\Rings folder else they wont be detected. well thats what i found anyway.
You are supposed to add a ringtone to \Windows\Rings with any file explorer.
WM2003 supports these: .WAV .WMA .MID(the most compact one)
People, who use "Add Ringtone" have nothing to do at this site, it's xda-developers.com! Joking! :lol:
Yes you are correct but you dont need to put them in the Rings folder unless it is a .wma file. I find the midi type tones better cos i dont hear true tones as well. Maybe im deaf!
dir \Windows has so many files, that it takes years to open it and even more to find something there! That's why I prefer \Windows\Rings.
PS: Don't worry, you're not alone being deaf in this world! :wink:
i'd like to see somebody using a wma file as sms notification
i've only been able to add wma for phone rings not sms's

I'm trying to change my alarm sound on my XDA this doesn't work at all.
Lets stay in the defaults Rings Alarm2,Alarm3 <-- if I select one of those it keeps using the default ring Alarm1.
I've tried to edit the registry as well no luck, I don't wanna use any Alarm prog my Rom is Wm2003 4.0.1.16 cooked and if I select any other wav file from the \windows folder it just keep using the default one :evil: has anyone fixed this bug?
I can't say i know the software for the xda1 but if you can't add alarm sounds which are .wav then why not just overwrite them? Just save your new sound as Alarm1.wav in the windows folder.

You cannot overwrite them bcz they are read only files thus they are in the Rom !? If you have a way to delete or edit or replace those files tell me
last week i donated as promised after your help provided (in answering my questions ) and had radio signal back on my screen............
however its been 2 years now using my 2002i with the same message alert can anyone indicate me where they are stored on my device, in order that i will be able to download a better one..........................as well the type of file..........
Whatever song you like save in wav file format( other format file not work). Then copy and paste in pocket pc window folder. (synchronize with desktp pc first, then you can browse and see PPC window folder)
For those want to change ring tone -
save MP3 file in PPC window/ringtone folder.
Enjoy
Need help

HAHAHA you have to laugh at this guy,
IT MESSAGE ALERT, NOT and i repeat NOT RINGTONE, we all know how to do them besides u can stuff them on your memory card or in your documents folder or anywere on your mobile and do the same thing, or just stuff them in the ringtone folder not just windows dir.
i must admit i would love to know how to add new message alert tones as it is a tad annoying that you can only add new ring tones.
thanks again
thanks ..............after using the same message tone for so many days!!!!!! now i managed to create one
I'm sure this is covered somewhere so maybe you can point me in the right direction. I don't have a manual for my phone, and I can download one from the O2 website as the previous owner already registered with my IMEI number so I can't get access.
I'm trying to change the tone for incoming messages and the alarm clock - I can see where to change them, but there's only the factory included tones, is there any way to put one of my personal tones in?
Just paste the file to the Windows Folder. My Device > Windows. Then go back to Sounds and Notifications and the file will be included on the list.
*I can email you the manual. Just PM me here. ^^ *
Works perfectly, cheers!
Haha! That's good...
I tried pasted a song in wma file (3.5Mb) in Windows but still couldn't find it in my phone setting or notifications setting.

Sir, are u sure that you pasted the .wma on the Windows folder?
I haven't tried the .wma file.
I use .wav / .mp3 format only. Try using .wav or .mp3 format sir.
I'll try to paste a .wma file on my Windows folder and get back to you ASAP.
i though only .wav format acceptable to use for incoming message and alarm

AFAIK, message & alarm tone can only use *.wav file.
While *.mp3 & *.wma can be used for incoming call tone.
Or did I miss something here?

How to change ring tone for sms
Hey Dudes!
This is what I did:
You can copy any sound file with .wav extension and paste it into my document folder in phone memory.
-> Go to Setting -> Sound Notification
-> Incoming sms
You will see that the file that you just pasted appears in the drop down list
Enjoy!!!

Thanks for that but i just put my MP3 songs in there and i was able to select them in the ring tones and message tones too.
Also you can put it into the My Documents in storage memory and it still works, well thats all i have done, i dont have one .wav file in my phone that i use for my call tones.
Sorry i just posted this in the wrong phone support, sorry everyone.
go to setting => sound setting =>
in upper tool written as ( incoming call )
click on side arrow and put incoming sms
then change tone
sorry for wrong engliss
God bless u all thx bye..................
hi,
So some people are asking how to change the sms tone and put there own!
first what you need is a mp3-wav file converter! Roxio can do it or "google" for it there are some free apps able to do it!
2. Convert your mp3 sms tone in the .wav format
3. Put your *.wav file in the folder my device/my documents/my ringtones
4. Go to start/settings/sounds and notifications
select notifications and event : messaging : new text message
select your converted wav file in the ring tone menu
5. done
Ps : there are 2 wav sms tones in the files below, simply put them in the my ringtones folder
Bye fabien
Hmmm, Doesn't show up for me.

what doesn't show up?
Try dropping a MP3 directly into the Windows folder it should show up under all types of alerts then. When I put it into ringtones or rings it will only let me apply it as a ring tone not alert tone. I have not tried a WMV every thing I have is MP3 and there is a decent MP3 trimmer on the LEO so you just pick your start and end point and drop it directly into the Windows folder.

Sorry, The .wav file that I drop into the directory that you suggest. It doesn't show up as an available option when trying to change the tone for SMS.
I'll try dropping it into the Windows directory, as suggested above.

Mmmm, sms tone in the windows folder, there is.....
you can put all alert tones (.wav, .mp3 depending on what alert you want some can use both) into \Storage Card\My Documents
The phone will then find them.
You can cut and paste all the tones from phone memory to here to save some space. (Maybe not strictly needed on HD2 but useful on my previous phone - Diamond)
The \Storage Card\My Documents\Ringtones (or Rings or My Ringtones) never worked for me previously, I havent tried on HD2 but maybe this will help?
cheers

While this does work, the problem with this is that all your ringtones and alerts will show up in your music library.
I've found that putting your ringtones (activated when someone calls you) into your phone's memory, under Windows\Rings folder will work.
For alerts, for some reason this will not work - despite the fact that there are already numerous alert files in there (prefixed by 'Alert-somefile.wma'). To get Alerts to show up you need to actually put them into the phones memory, under the Windows directory.
If you do this, the ringtones and alerts will NOT show up in your music librar but you will be able to select them for ringtone/alert purposes.
there must be a way to add a folder as an exception in the music player just like how you can in the Photo/video album

When you say drop it directly into the windos folder where do I find that folder? When I go into my phone memory I get the following folders:-
Application Data
Conn Mgr
Documents and settings
MUSIC
My documents
Program Files
To use a mp3 for notifications, you need to place the sounds into the following folder
device------application data-----SOUNDS
all the files here will then show up as being available for all notifications ie mail, sms, mms, email etc
ringtones need to be in the ringtone folder, or just press and hold on the file you want to set as a ringtone from file explorer, you will get a menu popup with the option to set the file as a ringtone, it will then be automatically be copied into the ringtone folder aswell.
Hope this helps a little..
