Alert Tone for XDA2 SMS

Hi guys!
How can I use a Midi File as an alert tone for my SMS Alert? I was able to use it for my Phone ringtone but not for SMS tone.
Thanks!

try sticking it in the \windows folder...
That's where I had to put my WAv files for using them as SMS tones..

SMS Ring Tones ?!?

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.

WAV or MP3

Hi, how to use wav or mp3 files as ringtone or message alert tone? My device is X01HT.
Have a nice day.

For notification audio, put the audio files into the \Windows\ folder (via ActiveSync or from the memory card via File Explorer). Ringtones need to go into \Windows\Rings.
Once the files are there you can just choose them from the dropdown lists in Sounds and Notifications.

I tried that and it did not work. I then looked at the properties of one of the built in alarm wavs. I converted my wav to the same bitrate, mono, 22hz and then it worked.

I would also like to know a good freeware to make ringtones on my xp pc for the ppc? is it mp3cutter?
And what format (ie. wav) & bitrate is recommended for ringtones?

I guess I cheat a lil...
I go to the website and listen to the ring-tines using Internet Explorer. I then go to my Temporary Internet Folder, pull out the MP3 files that I liked.

For ring you have to have the mp3 you want in the folder My Documents/My ring bells (or similar, in spanish is "Mis tonos de timbre"; for sms signal I don't know.

You can put the mp3 file in the windows map and then you can select it... It works with wav files i used for windows live

havent tried in ages with notifications like sms recieve but back then
notifications other then rings can only be wav

I checked it and you can also use mp3 files for sms etc

put the mp3 or any other files in the following folder for them to be available from the SMS sound selection dropdown menu:
Code:
\Application Data\Sounds\

put the mp3 you want to use in the root of your memory card then goto settings/sounds and notifications/click notifications tab on the bottom of the screen/pick new text message from drop down/look for mp3 in the drop down and click ok.

Can't set any mp3 for sms notification

I tried everything, to put mp3 in windows/rings, in winndows , and in my documents/my ringtones and nothing. When i go to the sound options i can set it for phone ringtone but when i choose new text message there is no mp3

think only ringtones can be mp3 think other notifications have to be wav

Not really true I don't know the reason for this but sometimes for notifications to recognize Mp3's you can either place the Mp3 on the root of the SD card or place in the /windows directory which you can acess it from a software called Total Commander.
Hope it helps
