I have 3 wave files located in my windows folder so i can use them with the alarms and incoming text messages.
after about 2 days the alarm and the incomming text message will sound a very diffirent sound and my wav files are corrupt.
I overwrite them again and then its all good for another 2 days.
anyone else has this problem?

Hi all
Juz would like to check if anyone can advise me if the phone tones can be use as alarm tones? I remembered XDA allows me to use phone tones as alarm tones.
Sure. But you have to use File Explorer to copy the ring tones from "\Windows\Rings" to "\Windows".
Tried... But still can't get the ring tone into the alarm tone list... Is there anything else that I need to do??
If the audio file is a compressed WAV file, it won't show up in the list of sounds. You should use only uncompressed WAV files.
How to differential between compressed and uncompressed wav files? The icon shown in the windows explorer looks the same as the rest of the alarm tone.
right click on the file on the pc and choose properties
choose summary
audio format should be pcm
Checked... It's a Midi file... So no way to use it as a alarm tone?
Ive managed to set my audio files as ringtones but is it possible to set them as a SMS recieved tone?
yip, put the file in the map windows on your mobilephone and choose this file as your receive email sound. PS: i didnt test it with wma but it must work!!!
I'm almost sure its the New sms option in the sounds and notifications , not the new e-mail one.
in fact you can choose sound for many notifications in settings/phone/other settings/ and chose email, sms, even msn messenger notification sound.
when i test it i can only choose my alien.wma
when i change the phonering in notifications
it's not present on the list if i choose sms recieve or mail recieve
You have to copy the file in the \Windows directory and il will then appear listed for SMS too
As far as I know (on XDA I), you can only assign wma files to ringtones. SMS tones need to be wav.
It seems they use different audio engines.
i've tried to copy it to windows and windows/rings
and non of those locations matter to the list of my
sms notification or any other non phone edition spc
notification for that matter
i tried that too, and i conclude that it's not possible to set wma files to sms notification... it has to be wav...
regards
can we make the tone cut of with a push of a button.. my tone goes 4 ages and i cannot cut it of when im reading my msgs!
hi i just sorted out how to use an mp3 as a ring tone with out a patch is there any way i can use an mp3/wav file as a ring tone for an sms ?
sms tones
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!
well i lied a bit lol ! an mp3 converted to a wav file almost an mp3 !!! tried the above still cant get it to add it to the standard ring tones ie the alarm1 alarm 2 and so on !
ive only had phone for a month so please in very easy english lol :shock:
how do i get an wav file in to this bit of the phone ???
from the active>settings>sounds¬ifications>notifications
1 select an event
change that to inbox:new sms message
2 select how to be notified
tick box play sound then in the sound box all i can get is
alarm 1 , 2, 3, 4, default ,hwandsw ,infbeg ,infend ,loudest ,lowbatt ,menupop msgbox ,notify ,online ,quietest ,recend ,type ,voicbeep
pleas ecould some one tell me how to get a wav file in there with out a patch would be lovley !
i have tryed every thing that i can think off !
:evil: :evil:
Sms more rings how solution.
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: :?

thanks guys got that sorted now !!
Hi - i can assign custom ringtones for incoming calls.. but not for text messages.
Anyone know how i can change this?
Thanks guys.
(Running on XDA mini S with ROM: 2.16.9.1 WWE)
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 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
