Sound for SMS

Folks, iam not so familiar with Smartphones yet. I tried to set a ring tone for incoming SMS. There are some sounds selectable in a Listbox. I choose one and press the play button but i can not hear any sound.
What do i wrong? Where are these sounds to find in the directory structure?

HTC Wizard is a Pocket PC not a Smartphone. What brand do you have?

hey, im not sure the problem with no playing, but im curious to know if there is a way to add different sms tones on the wizard. I know how to add ringtones, just not the ones like sms or alarm tones. All there is are the rubbish windows that sound awful. Any help guys?

add ne .wav file into the windows directory then go to... Start -> Settings -> Sound & Notifications -> Notifications -> Event: Messaging: New text message... and they shud b in the drop down list

I have got the thing: you have to activate in sounds and notification (the first tab): check programs and check notification
After this it works.

Still doesn't work
I have tried to copy my .wav files into every available directory, but can't find them back in the pull-down menu.
Also, I cannot find any Windows directory on my MDA VARIO.
Any help?

yeah, where are sounds supposed to be located for the other (non phone ring) events to "see" them in the Sounds & Notifications list?
i put some sounds in both Rings and My Music and the non-phone ring events just don't see them (phone ring event does)!
Damn MSFT, why do they have to make simple things difficult!

Found it!
The non-ringtone sounds should be copied in the Windows directory, which can be found in the Explorer of your PDA/MDA. Also the Windows directory can be found if you have set up your Active-Sync correctly.
Just click my Mobile device and then the Windows directory should appear.
Works for me perfect! anyone with some cool *.wav's?

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.

Change SMS sound

Hey guys,
I have looked threw the forum and could not spot anything about changing the SMS sound on the HD2. Is this possible? If I have missed a post or tip somewhere explaining about this apologies for the repeat post.
Cheers

Take a look in sound & notification

Go to settings then press menu then choose all settings then choose sounds and notifications then go to the notifications tab and on the event drop down box choose message: new message and then select your sound

What the first poster says is how will he add more sounds as sms alarms....
If he means this he/she should add the file he likes in Device Memory\Application Data\Sounds and then search the sounds through sound and notifications

hi
you need to put the sound in wav format and place it into your windows directory. these will then be available for you to select in sounds and notifications. the ringtone files can just be put in the windows/rings folder or the rings folder in my docs

I've got mp3 files in the "my documents" folder on my device, and they show up in all the notification and ringtone lists.

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.

same sound for sms and mail???

It's the same sound for sms and mail and I can't find option to diversify them.Thanks!

create these folder on SD Card then add any mp3 or sounds to it.
all lower case
media/ audio/ ringtones/
media/ audio/ notifications/
media/ audio/ alarms/
you should then be able to see all added files when you change ringtone/alarm/notification.
Zedge is pretty good to get tones from

Thanks cod the trick,but my problem is another:sms and mail have same sound,I want a sound for sms and another for mail,and I cant find sistem to diversy it

Different sound for SMS: Messages --> Menu --> Settings --> Received Messages --> Notification Sound.
Sound for mail: All Programs --> Settings --> Sound & Display --> Notification Sound.
See? It wasn't so hard.
