Adding Event Sounds

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.

SMS notification sound

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
Asbjørn Søbye

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.

thats the way to go, best little bit of kit ive installed on mine so far to be honest.
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

Notifications and bluetooth

Is there any way that I can add my own sounds for notifications such as new sms and email etc.
Also, how do you send via bluetooth, with my spvm2000 it was a simple case of clicking on the file to be sent, click on send to bluetooth, job done, but there doesn't seem to be that option available.

Changing the sound settings will let you change the sounds.
To send via bluetooth, click Beam file. Bluetooth devices will appear below the IRDA ones.

thanks cymru,
re. the sound, what folder would i put the mp3 file?
re. the bluetooth, does this include mp3's and jpg's

Bluetooth - You can send any type of file this way, if thats what your asking?
Ringtones - Put in ~/Windows/Rings/
If that directory doesnt exist put into ~/Windows/
Then go to 'Start' --> 'Settings' --> 'Phone' --> [then choose the ringtone in the dropdown list.]

found the problem, have been using file resco explorer which only gives you the option of irda and email sending rather than the normal file explorer.
Still having problems setting my own sms notification though, maybe you can't do that on this device.

i am having the same problem over here..
i experimented with this and till now i discovered that u can only assign wma or wave for notifications (such as the text message or email) and they can be in either the windows folder or the windows/rings/
as for the ringtone it can be mp3 too

thanks zuz, tried using wma,wav and mp3 as sms alert but still only get offered the default sounds, whereas with the incoming call I get offered all the various formats of audio I have on the phone, finally found the correct windows folder by using file explorer rather than using resco as a lot of the folders are hidden

many thanks for your help

Text Message Notification sounds

I have an HTC Touch from Bell Mobility and there is one thing that I have as of yet been unable to do with it. I would really like to be able to choose my own personal sound for when I am receiving text messages but there appears to be no way to actually do this.
Is there possibly a program that would allow this or a place on the HTC where I could place the sounds I want for when I receive texts so that it will show up in the default settings program for setting up the notification sounds?
Please help

Start->Settings->Sounds & Notifications - Notification tab->Events -> Messaging:New text message
Prem

Also dont forget to convert the sound to .WAV format and copy it into the Windows folder

I have done that but it does not allow me to choose any sounds that I have downloaded like as an example I cannot set it to have the Mail mofo from eurotrip for whenever I get a new text message. it will only allow me to choose from the sounds that it came with.

Are you saying that the drop down list only shows one sound?

how do i convert to Wav format? i also have a problem with text sounds i can only seem to use the sounds that come stock for continuous notifications, when i try to add my own it plays it once or twice (for a couple text) but after tht when i receive new text ther is no sound...is it because they are mp3's does tht even matter? they are only like 2seconds long each...any help would be appreciated

I am just saying that there is only the stock sounds and that I am unable to add any extra sounds to it that I want to have as my sound for when I get text messages.

I'd suggest using Audacity to convert your sound into .wav file. Once you've done that, put the file in \Windows and it should appear in the drop down menu on your "Sounds and Notifications" page. It really isn't that complicated - the only reason I can think it isn't working for you is because you either have the file in the wrong format or you haven't put it into the \Windows folder.

Put your .WAV files in My device -> Application data ét voila, they appear in the list!

well first off it dont have to be in WAV format, MP3 will be fine
butyou cant use an entire song, because there is no wasy to stop it.... meaning no matter how many buttons u press yer gonna have to hear the entire song before the ring ends....\
now imagine, I get an average of 2000 txtx a month, could you imagine heariung the same song 2000 times>???
sometimes 20-30 times in a row???
anyways soooooo where u need to put the rings for text messaging is directly in yur windows folder on yer device....
here is my favorite i made from Euro Trip - Mail Mother F**Ker

Anybody has the longer/ louder version of Nokia SMS notification sound?

how do i change message ringtone to mp3?

how do i change message ringtone to mp3? someone help me plssssssss!

hey
just put the .mp3 in the documents folder on your phone

you should have a My Documents\My Ringtones (preferred) or there is a Windows\Rings, either one will do.
then go to settings, sounds, notifications tab, from Event: drop down select Phone: Incoming call.

the Q is for atext message not an incoming call..
So this won't help.
As far as i now, you cannot use an mp3 for this.
change it into a WAV frmat and it will work.
it might be possible you need to put it in a special location (such as the windows folder or the my documents folder)

Yeah it's possible,
either do as gazzacbr said, but choose "Messaging: New text message" you can change almost all the phones sounds here...
I preffer this easier way (for me)
Slide to settings > Press Sounds > Scroll to bottom for "Notification Sounds" > Press the notification you want to change and select it off the list
If the mp3 isnt listed then use the FileManager, find your mp3 and hold down on it, when the menu appears scroll down to "Set as Ringtone" which actually just puts it in on the list of selectable tones. Then simply repeat the steps above.
- I should probably note, I downloaded an update off HTC's website that had something to do with MP3 ringtones but I could initially do this beforehand anyway.

I can't find it... can you please put it here?

He said he wants a mp3 to be used as a new text message tone. this is something even i wanted to ask, but well it cant be done. tried everything. the patch is for something else. tried putting it into my ring tones folder, tried putting the mp3 (a 26sec file) into windows ring folder but na nothing, restarted still nothing. the only thing i think will work is to try converting it into .wav format.
@rvrosa its there in touch2 support.

it can be done. i currently use a MP3 file as my SMS alert, and a different MP3 as my email alert.
If my previous technique doesnt work, copy the desired MP3 to the root of your microSD card. It will automatically list it in the selectable ringtones

under mobile device go into the folder that says application data then the folder that says sounds, put the mp3 in there and you should be able to select it for your sms.
