I've searched all over this forum (sorry if I missed it or something) but is there a way to get my own custom ringtone for whenever I receive mail or a voicemail. I already have custom ringtones for my phone itself... but I can't seem to be able to get anything no matter how I try to show up in my "notification sounds" section on my wing. Any help would be appreciated.
I happen to hate the selection of tones for my Voicemail and SMS and would like to make my own.
I need answer of this question
Just put the ringtone you want in the Windows directory and it'll show up in the notification sounds list.

My ringtones is in \sd card\windows\ and ringtone ok now. But sms, mms, e-mail notification sounds not appears. I tried to put them to \windows\ directory (not sd card, i mean main memory) then its ok. Sms, mms, e-mail notification sounds should be in \windows\ directory? Or have any idea for SD card?
not sd in main memory as a quick answer

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?

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.

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

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?
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.
how can I set a custom ringtone for when i receive a text or email?
i dont like the OEM sounds and want to set my own
thanks!

Have you even tried going into settings? Sound and Display?

this. Don't put it in the Windows/ring folder. Drop the ringtone in the windows folder itself. That's what I had to do. Hope that helps.
I also suspect the my documents folder works too.
Saving music files to SD Card/My Documents worked for me.. All work as a rigntone.. For text message I believe the songs have to be over a certain file size, i had some 15-30 secons text message ringtones on my previous phone and these arent picked up on the HTC HD2 if i want them as text message ringer.. The complete songs work fine..
Does anyone know how to stop a text message ringtone without opening the text message?? I have a 2 minute song as as txt ringtone and it wont stop playing unless i actually open the messaging folder to see the text.. Also, if i get a txt the song will start playing, and if i get another txt 5 seconds later, the same song will play again overlapping previous txt ringtone.. thus both songs play at same time until i open message..
Any help is appreciated..
Any help??
Also my on my brothers HTC HD2 we are having a problem where the sms ringtone is causin his phone to freeze half way thru the song.. He has a regular song as sms.

There is no way to Stop the sound with out opening the ringtone, The best advice I can give is to make the ringtone shorter. Normaly around 3 sec or so
Thanks for the advice.. However, I added some 10-15 second mp3 songs i had.. And the phone doesnt detect them in order to use them as sms ringers. Seems to be that the file has to be over a certain size.. Anyone else has this issue?
Another observation was that if you fo to Setting> All Setting> Sound & Notifications.. Notifications tab, Select Incoming Message, and select Display Message on Screen.. Then the ringtone no matter how long it is, it will only sound for 3-5 seconds and stop...
OK, i have the HTC Tilt 2, and its really annoying that i cant set up a personal tone for my text messages, can only use the ones that come with phone. I've tried pasting the tones into the correct folder, and still no go. And i dont even care if i can set them personal for different people, that doesnt matter i just want a custom tone for incoming text messages in general.
If anyone has a freeware app for this or an app in general that can do this please let me know i would greatly appreciate it.

I agree with the above idea. One added note, if you make a folder called "Sounds" on your storage card, the Rom should recognize it in your ringtones folder. It does on mine.
Actually The easiest way to do it is just paste the custom ringtone in your windows folder with all the rest of the ringtones and as soon as you go to notifications it will recognize it right away... dont put it in any folder just put the file directly in the folder... Fool-proof
I put my text message sound in Device>Application Data>Sounds. When you put it in the Windows file, it only shows up for a ringtone, not other notifications.
tried that
I tried all of that... I ended up just getting fed up with trying that, So i paid for the Ringo app, does all of it, custom ring tones, message tones, and custom for any contact you want to add
What I want is a way to have specific sounds for different people texting.... ie.. Text from person A comes in and notification A plays..... text from person B comes in and notification B plays.
Now THAT would be handy!

Yeah, my Motorola SLVR used to do that. I would set a ringtone for someone and it would play if they were calling or texting.
But then it got confusing, because I didn't know if I needed to hurry up and answer the phone or not. So sometimes I would run to the phone only to find out it was a text. I was a lot skinnier back then.
Ringo
I paid for the ringo app 9.99, and you can create custom contacts separate sounds for both text msg and calling, but if you pull ringtones off your sd card, it cuts them off after a certain time out. which doesnt bother me that much. But I do now have custom tones for all my important contacts, for both calls and texts, and you can use any mp3, regardless if it is a shortened ringtone version or a whole song.
personal ringtones go in the "Ringtones" folder.
All other personalized sounds (text, missed call, etc) go in the Windows folder. Just copy and paste em in there
As already suggested I put my personal tones in the Windows folder directly, and they all show up and are available for selection in the 'sounds and notifications' section, in fact I altered my 'incoming email' one today.
What I believe he is asking for needs a third party app. To have an individual sms tone for each contact you will need something like Ringo. What everyone else is suggesting is a way to add custom tones in general..

This is true, MP3/WAV go into the ringtones folder in my documents...
NOW for alerts and alarms they need to be a wav or wma file and you place them directly into the windows directory. I usually add a zz to the beginning of the file name so all the alarms/alerts I make are always at the bottom of the list and easier to find...

i have always just put the files directly in the windows folder (only the ones for txt) and it has always worked fine for me
it seems that this was well covered but i had this same prob. i ended up downloading a program called Tonality that i was able 2 change just about any sound on my phone 4 free....even call waiting. i tried to place the link but since im a new user i was unable 2 do so. jus type Tonality in & you'll find the link 4 it over at freewarepocketpc. hope that works 4u.
best way to do it for alerts and ring tones is put them in the root of your sd card, no folders or anything just in the root. This way does not eat up your phones mem as well.
