i understand how to setup my own ringtones, i just need to know about the txt sounds?
about how to change txt sounds
i think the txt sound you want must be a WAV file
go to /windows, copy *wav file to the directory.
then, go to the sounds and notifications area. from there you could now see the sound file you want as txt sound k?

Hi there.
I`ve bought like 2 months ago an XDA mini and i would like to change the tones for recieving messages.i tried to add the ringtones but failed.Can u pls tell me how i can add new ringtones for incoming messages.
Thank you
I assume you are talking about Notification Sounds? If so, you can do this by adding your sound files to the \Windows directory then under Settings -> NOtification Sounds you can change each notification sound to your personal preference. If the sound file is in the \Windows directory, it should appear in the dropdown list.
i dont think it works...i guess ringtones for incoming calls you can change....

What?! You changed the one under "Messaging: New text message", right? What do you mean by doesn't work. It shows in the setting page but when you receive an SMS, it doesn't produce the sound it suppose to give. Or you are not able to provide your very own customized sound?
No i`ve added the ringtones in /Windows ... and when i want to set up notifications .... i can see those ringtones when i`m setting incoming calls ... but when i want to setup incoming messages ... the ringtone doesn`t appear in the subfolder where the ringtones should be.

yup exactly...me too...
Oh. Ok, trythis.
Copy one of the WAV files (into your PC) that you are able to see from in the list of choices in Notification->Messaging:New SMS
Right click on it, "Properties"->"Summary"->"Advance" (in some cases, you maybe already in Advance).
You should see the BitRate, AudioSampleSize, Channels, AudioSampleRate, AudioFormat, of the WAV file.
Now, your job is to encode your customised WAV file with the EXACT values (you can easily do that with the Sound Recorder within windows).
Copy your encoded WAV into Windows, you should able to see now (you shouldn't require soft resetting the device).
Ringtones - can be MP3/WAV
Notifications Sounds - can be WAV/MID - NOT MP3 !
That is the most commonley made mistake - MP3s cannot be used as Notification Sounds! Just save them as WAV and put the as previously described in the Windows Folder and you are good to go!
Attached you will find a WAV File that 100% works on a MDA Vario ( Wizard )
Matza, of the top of my head the wav file should be 16bit and 22000hz or somink like that...
in simple the Wav file must be PCM Wav at a reducded quality for it to be used as SMS Ringtone
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

Is there a way to change the text messaging alert sound to something i make up? From my computer,
1. does it have to be mp3 or midi or wav?
2. where do i save the file so it will show up as one of my audio options....
Thanks in advance
Put a sound file into your \windows directory, go into settings/personal/sounds & notifications, I'll assume you can figure it out from there.
Device\Application Data\Sounds
That is where you are to place custom ringtones, and i believe that they appear for Text Messages too...just not for Alarms
Does anyone know if you can change the text message sent notification??
for it to work it has to be a .wav
how cano play mp3's ive i get new sms sound tried to put the mp3 in the same folder as the other sound but it just dnt see it? can any 1 help
Use MP3 for SMS/alarms/events.... notifications
So for having a mp3.file as ring for incoming text messages you have to put the mp3.file in the windows directory on your device. Simply copy it from your Storage Card(or elsewhere) to your \Windows Folder.
The next step is to click on start->settings->Sounds¬ifications->Notifications->Choose your event(here: Messaging:New Text Message) and choose your ringtone which you copied to the windows directory in the upcoming list.
And that's it xD ... normally this works also for.wav and other music files ^^ xD
EDIT:
I encountered a problem with my method ... Windows doesnt not allow you to use .mp3 Files for Notifications as Sms/MMS/Events etc... You have to use .wav files instead of .mp3 files and copy the specific file into the windows directory. ^^
Useful INFOS:
Directory for ringtones and it has to be a .mp3 or.wav file -> Windows\Rings
Alarms, Events, Notifications etc have to be a .wav file -> simply copy it to Windows directory.
After that you should be able to acces and select the ringtone in the Sounds¬ifications menu.
So Hope this helps ^^ xD
Create a new folder in your Storage card. name it as My Documents. Put there whatever sounds you want (mp3, wav, wma, mid). Go to Start, Settings, Notifications and Sounds and you will have all these sounds available. Then choose the sound you want for text messages.
Happy New Year
Or something like that xD
found out why cheers checked file format was a nokia format acc cheers
i was looking for this for ages, should be added to wiki, under tweaks or tips, i dnt think any1 wants to use the phone storage for ringtones or any other tones.

Brilliant tip.
Hi!
Trying to add my own custom made mp3 as a sound for incoming sms, but the damn thing doesnt show in the list of sound files, I even put it in the exact same directory as all the others and tried converting to wav and wma.
Thoughts?
When you say 'the same directory as all the others', where are you talking about?
Because message tones don't go in the same folder as ringtones.
Well I tried both the folder in windows directory which contains both ringtones and alert-type sounds and the dir named "my ringtones". The custom sounds all appear when selecting a new ringtone, but not when selecting the sms, mms, etc.
Convert your file to .wav and store it in the windows folder.
Thanks pdafuzzi. That did it.
