I use this phone as a pager, and I'd like to change the SMS text msg tone to something loud and annoying. How / where do you install new sms tones?
I'm running a Cingular 8125, and I'm about to upgrade firmware later tonight.
Thanks,
Dan
Place the wav file or whatever you are using in the \windows directory and it would show up on the list in settings\sounds & notifications
:lol: :lol: Pager....
I'm an idiot... I was trying to use a .mid file and it appears it only will take a .wav.
Thanks!
Also works for the new HTC HD2.
just put the converted .wav file into the windows directory and presto.
now available in msg tone selection

Hi, I have installed many ringtones (mp3) into the rings directory of windows, and I am able to use them as ringtones. How can I use an mp3 for the sound alert of a new text message. What directory does it need to be in. I have tried windows/rings but it wont see it for text messages. Do I have to use a specifig media format for text mesages. I even tried renaming an mp3 to mid and it still doesnt see it.
Please help
Put it into Windows directory, and they can only be in .wav format.
Thanks !
I just want to know how to change the SMS tone to be .mp3 ??
i've placed the mp3 file under the windows folder but couldn't
see it in the drop-down list of SMS tones !!!
thank you in advance geeks ..
you need to use wav files in the windows folder for it to work
I am not a Geek!
But if I can use MP3 Files as a normal Call-Ringtone, why not also using MP3 Files as a SMS Sound?! :?:
I have absolutely no idea!! does that help?
Thanx ..
thanx guys for the help. In my opinion, it's impossible to set mp3 files as sms ring tones, you have to convert them into wav files.
havent tried it but I think you can use wma files with phonealarm

Where did you find a dialogue to select different message alert sounds? I can only find choices for ring tones, not message alerts. I've looked through the phone options and the manual but can find nothing about changing message alerts.
Doh! I just found it in Settings/Sounds & Notifications. It's a shame there is no consistent approach to setting ring tones and SMS alerts. No matter, problem solved.
hi i just sorted out how to use an mp3 as a ring tone with out a patch is there any way i can use an mp3/wav file as a ring tone for an sms ?
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¬ifications>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 !
i have tryed every thing that i can think off !
:evil: :evil:
Sms more rings how solution.
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: :?

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
Is there any way to change the small "bleep" (or blip) indicator tone when you send a text message?

Go to Settings-Sound & Notifications.
Which one is it in there - I couldn't find it

Change the SMS sent sound
This will possibly change the sound of other pop-up messages but it does work for SMS and I MUCH prefer it this way. \HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default Change the Wave key from msgbox to any other .wav file in the Windows directory (don't include the .wav extension). I changed it to hwandsw.
hey just paste your wav tone in your windows folder and WALLA! you can now select the tone on the notifcations. ps only wav tone can be us. have fun
Thanks Raymonds,
That worked perfectly.
For everyone else, you need to fix the registry to do this. Changing notifications can only change the message REVEIVED tone and NOT Sent Tone
