As far as I can tell, we are limited to using the in built message tones?
I can add new ringtones, and they appear when changing my ringtone, but when I try to change the message tone, the newly added WAV ringtones do not appear in the list, I am stuck with the preset crap.
I have a few I really want to use too.
If I am doing something wrong please let me know.
Put the WAV files in \windows\ main folder... It should appear in your message tones list...
Can't do it still, I've put it in the top windows level as well as the rings folder and still wont show up, I am so bored with the crap defaults!
sigh
Ummm :?: ... Try running the Add Ring Tone applet from the \Start\Setting\System\... Hope this helps as I am using my own customised WAV files for SMS tones on my O2 mini without any problems...
oh :?
ive tried adding the ringtone with the application, it appears in the ringtone list but will not appear in the list for sms tones.
arghhhhhh
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 can assign custom ringtones for incoming calls.. but not for text messages.
Anyone know how i can change this?
Thanks guys.

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
hi
Does anyone know how I can assign my own ringtones or sms tones. I dont want to use the ones that come with windows or the phone.
Thanks
Steph
hi,put them in windows directory ,in wav format.
thanks marcdu81
thankyou it worked fine!
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.
