Is it possible to use mp3 tone as sms/text tone? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi,
I have tried to use mp3 tone as text/sms tone but it couldnt work.
Anybody know how to change it?
Help pls
Thanx

Not that I know of!

needs to be a .wav file i belive

WM6 can use mp3 as this tones

For ringtones, a WMA is smaller than a MP3 with the same sound quality. (and it's supported for incoming calls... but not for incoming text message )

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.

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!

from the active>settings>sounds&notifications>notifications
1 select an event

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: :?

Managing sounds and notifications

Is there any way of making my magician play my normal message tone, but shutup when I open it? (I have a long message tone - and I want to keep it) also would like to know if there is a fix for stopping full message alerts when in a call, and maybe change for a discreet tone.
message alert tone
Soory to other you but nobody is answering my blog, and you seem to have solved my problem. When i try to change my message alert tone ,hte only options i am given are the default message alerts, ive tried copying tones into the windows ring folder but still only get default tonesthe previuos process works fine for my ring tone, can you help?
Your notifications have to be in wav format. Or they will not work.
-This goes into the /windows folder
Ringtones can be in midi/wav or mp3 format
-This goes to the /windows/ringtones
Here are some wav files I made which you can try out

MP3 & WAV as sms alert

How can i set an Mp3 or wav as ringtone alert?
Thanks
I want to now that too? i have tried set the tones in my device/windows where all the alert/notification are but not working?? why is that? you dont see the tone in the list att all when you set a notification tone. I have tried mp3 wav wma tones.
what I did (and which is working) : I have 2 sounds that I wanted to use (1 for sms alert and another one as ringtone for my phone). the ringtone, I converted it to mp3 (mono, 96kbps) and put it in the windows\rings folder. for the sms alert, I left it as wav and put it in windows folder (mp3 wasn't recognized). in that way, they both appear at the right place in sound/notifications.
Ok, so you must convert the sounds? if you want to use them as notification tone. Thanx! gamin, I try that!
You can use ether MP3 or WAV as a ringtone, but only WAV for SMS.
SMS tones need to be in the windows folder.
If you want to use an MP3 as a ringtone all you have to do is hold the stylus on the MP3 to get the menu up and select "set as ringtone".
I know this works in WM6 but not sure about WM5.
does it exists a software to manage rings (for all alerts)?
Thanks
