Hi, I have had my HD2 for close to 2 months already and have yet to find a way to set mp3 or personalized audio files as ring tones. Any body can help?
Thanks in advance.
put the file you want as ring into windows/rings.
Thanks. Managed to set it as ring tone. But message tones cant be customised ?
You can try putting the mp3 files in My documents folder. Makesure not in any sub folder and give it a try. This way you can customise either your ringtone or message tones
thanks alot. Managed to get it done. ^ ^

As far as I can tell, we are limited to using the in built message tones?
I can add new ringtones, and they appear when changing my ringtone, but when I try to change the message tone, the newly added WAV ringtones do not appear in the list, I am stuck with the preset crap.
I have a few I really want to use too.
If I am doing something wrong please let me know.
Put the WAV files in \windows\ main folder... It should appear in your message tones list...
Can't do it still, I've put it in the top windows level as well as the rings folder and still wont show up, I am so bored with the crap defaults!
sigh
Ummm :?: ... Try running the Add Ring Tone applet from the \Start\Setting\System\... Hope this helps as I am using my own customised WAV files for SMS tones on my O2 mini without any problems...
oh :?
ive tried adding the ringtone with the application, it appears in the ringtone list but will not appear in the list for sms tones.
arghhhhhh
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 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:

from the active>settings>sounds¬ifications>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: :?

Hi there can any1 help me out on this.I'm having truble hearing received txt messerges.Allso can't here the alarm.
I was wondering if there is any chance that I can use my ring tones and my alarms and received txt messerges like I do on my old p900 even reall tunes are not a problem.
If you can do this where do I put my rig tones what fold to thay go in so I can use them for what I need them for.I guess that I would have to put them into two different folders one for reciving txt messerges and one for alarm.
I cant seem to find the folders with the tunes allready in them that are allready in the phone.For using recived txt messerging or and alarms that are allready on the phone.Maybe if I could find them I mite be able to add my tunes to both of them.
Please help me out
thanx

You put your ringtones into the device\windows\rings folder. The format can be anything from mp3, wav, midi, wma
For email notification, your sound file MUST be in wav format, and should be placed in device\windows folder. You can appoint the new wav sound to be the default notification sound under Settings/Sounds & Notifications
For alarms, the sound file also MUST be wav. Put it under device\windows. Set up the alarm using the time applet on the Today screen
Hope that helped
Thanx for your help ill try that.If I can't get it to work ill let u. know thanx mono33
Hi does the wav sound need to be put into a folder in the device\window settings.Thanx mono33
All the WAV sound files must be in device\windows, not a subfolder (otherwise they won't show up in settings/sound¬ifications)
Ringtones must be put device\windows\rings (WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG...)
It won't hurt to experiment a bit, does it?
Hi,
New to all of this so go easy on me !!!
I want to know if it is possible to change the Alarm tones and Text tones (other than those supplied on it) .... ie. for adding new ring tones I have just put them in /windows/rings ... however, when I look for the alarm/text tones they sit in /windows .... whenever I put anything in there it does not get recognised in the settings under 'notifications' etc.
Make sense !?!?!?!? Anyone help ?
Cheers
Rob.
Adding ring tones for notifications(alarms and events)
just add any wave file in windows folder of your mobile it appears as ring tone in notification for alarms and other events
Does anyone know any good free sites to download various ring/notification wav files? I have a bunch of files that I've obtained or clipped from songs/etc, but it would be nice to see what else is out there.
