Quick question people, Ive downloaded phonealarm but it doesnt seem to want to apply the settings for SMS and email notification!?
Vibrate, LED and popup work fine but the sound i select is never applied to the notification..the setting is there in PA but when i look under sounds & notifications it is not?!?!
TyTN/Hermes users are you having this problem?!
Just to check - what format are the sounds?
To see them in Sounds and Notifications they need to be .wav files.
Does that help?
lol, its a schoolboy error that one i know...but they are DEFINATLY .wav files....placed in the /windows directory.
The settings are present in phonealarm, but its doesnt apply them right i suspect as the changes do not reflect in sounds¬ifications
The same settings work fine from pocketzenphone!?

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?
Hi. Can someone advise me whether it is possible to add additional sounds to this device to be used, for example, as SMS text alert sounds? Can these sounds only be in WAV format? I have tried to add an .amr sound effect but it doesn't appear in the drop down list of sounds. I have successfully added a ringtone however.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add to the list of sounds for event notifications?
Thanks very much
CUSTOM ALERTS
hi i have found eveything iv needed so far on this site, (Thanks to all) as this is my first post.
I to would like to be able to add my own alerts for sms, mms, email and so on. im assuming theres a folder somewhere i can place them but and a reg tweek to allow access or is it as easy as formating the files to wav and placing them in the right dir??
Thanks again THE SOUNDSHARK
If you take your .wav formatted file and dump it in the Windows folder, you can use it as a sound for notifications. Go to Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications. Under the Notifications tab you can change what plays for certain events, like new text or new MMS.

***Sorry for the double post. Gotta get my numbers up somehow. :lol: ***
so do i just put them in the rings dir?
no. put them here...
My Device >>>> Windows. put them anywhere in here and they will be found (WAV Files only)
i added a gotmail.wav to the Windows folder it appears in the Notification screen but it won't play when testing it.
I am the same, I put the files in the Windows directory, can play it when I click on it, can select it as a notification but it won't play when needed.
anyone know how to fix this problem?
I had this problem and it turned out to be the audio format of the wav file.
On your PC, right-click on your problem wav file and select properties.
Click on the summary tab and you'll see "Audio Format".
I don't know why but one's recorded/ripped with "PCM" audio format work and ones with "MP3" don't!
p.s. This is my first post, got my O2 mini S two weeks ago and found this forum very helpful.
Hey, does anyone know how to change the notification sound when you receive a SMS? I have the short standard "tune", but I want it to be like the sound you get when you tap a pencil ONCE on a table.
I can't find anything in the manual. Do I need separate software?
Regards

Settings->Sounds and Notifications
go to Notifications tab at bottom of screen
For Event: Choose "Messaging: New text message"
Then choose the settings you want.. sound file/vibrate etc. hit OK and you're set.
And if you'd like other sounds than the ones suplied on device, than drop some .wav files in the \windows directory on the device....you can them pick them in the above described way
SMS sent sound
Has anyone sussed out how to change or mute the sound the trinity makes straight after sending an SMS? The menu has every other option except that one and the actual file cannot be deleted!
Not only wav files can be dumped in the windows folder, mp3's will work aswell.
Works on WM6 anyway

Use TrinityHack to disable it
Hi I have a question to ask. Whenever I received a sms, the notification sound will be played til the end even I had already read and close the sms. Is it always like that on a Kaiser or is there anything I can do to disable it?
I still want to have the sound though.

it was reallyannoying, having the notification pop up on screen ater a text message was sent, and i had to "dismiss" it.
now its allllll gone!!!
lol
Hi guys
I wondered how I was missing all the texts my mates were sending me and then I found that when I get a text the sound is not working for some reason.
I've checked the sounds are there and working - it's set to "Rooster" sound which is fine (have tried others too) and the volume is turned up (ringtones work fine) but it still won't make sound when a text comes in.
I've done a soft reset etc but still not fixed it. Is there some other setting it could be?
Everything I can think of is right but there must be some other reason why there is no noise when I receive a text.
Any ideas please?! Thanks
try settings / sounds and notifications / enable sounds .... check if the box for events is ticked and the notifications too...
hope this helps
Notifications was switched on as that's what controls the sound settings for texts/MMS/email etc, but Events shouldn't need to be on and I don't normally have it enabled.
Cheers for the suggestion and I've turned it on anyway just in case but I don't think it's that.
Disable the New SMS notification option on "Sounds and notifications", then reset your device, after you reset try to go and enable the new sms notification again ! then try and see if iti works !
i had the same problem with my HD 1.14 with arabic poackage rom, I flash it with 1.19 and the problem didnt go till I made the disable-reset-enable !

Thanks folks - have tried/checked both those options and no result yet.
What is the ringtone you have selected ? Make sure that the file for the selected ringtone is available under the Windows folder.
By trial and error, I found that SMS ringtones are picked up from Windows folder only, whereas all the other tones (incoming call, reminder etc) are picked up from Windows/Rings or My Documents/My Ringtones folders.
Hope this helps .....
Cheers !!
For some reason, I did another reset and it seems to have cured it. Weird!!
Thanks very much for the help guys.
evening
any body know a way to get my sounds ( mp3 files ) as notifercations ,
i would like to have my own text and email sounds !
i have tried by downlading a file explora program from the market but alas that dont work either
need help or ideas
create a folder called "notifications" in the root of your sd card, and place all the mp3's or wav in there and it should display when you select a sound in the notification settings.
thatnks for that ...
in the mean time i also found an app called tone picker that seems to work quite well

No problem mate.
Does that let you choose different tones for lets say both email and sms,
cause right now you I can only choose one for both.
i thought so at first but now it dont seem to ? i can have differnt tones for each email account but not a differnt one for sms ....
perhaps a folder is the way to go

If you go in to mail messages and settings and choose a notification there and do the same for sms they end up different. The personalise setting for notifications seems to change both together. Let me know if it works for you too or if its a gmail / sms only solution
The Hero has a 'default notification' sound. You can set this to whatever you want by putting your sound file in a /notifications folder on the SD. This sound file is the one used when you receive an email in the HTC email app, and also when you connect/disconnect USB etc...
You can change your SMS sound file by going into settings in the Messages app. You can change your Gmail email sound file by going into settings in the Google mail app. But currently you cannot have a custom sound file for the HTC email app without also having that sound file as the 'default notification' ie. your Hero will play the same sound when you get an email as it does when it dis/connects to USB. I find that a bit annoying but I'm sure it will be fixed in an update.
