There's a ringtone that seems to be only available in the i9000 ROM's (at least JM2/JM5), and I really like the sound of it but forgot to pull it before flashing to a Captivate ROM. I don't know specifically where it's located, but I'd love if someone can pull and send me the "Secret Just for You" ringtone (I believe that's the name).
Thanks in advance.

Rom version 1.2 Rocks, but I cant set ringtones using PhonExt via either contact or category settings......I've made sure the country code is correct and tried numbers with UK country code and without..... Can anyone help
Make sure your PhoneExt is running and you haven't accidentally closed it. You will see a little mobile phone on the extreme right of the Today screen Taskbar. You can click this icon and add Category (Group) Ring tones, or you can go directly to your Contacts, select a contact by holding down the stylus on the name and choose 'Set Ring Tone' in the menu that pops up.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, just check and its definatley running, any more ideas ?
Thanks again
No further ideas, I'm afraid. When all else fails, RTFM! :wink:

It seems you have to put the wav file inside the \windows\ringtone folder to get it works.
thanks everyone still no joy and even read the manual ! any more ideas !
Hope this story helps. I have ROM 1.1 and couldn't get PhonExt to ring the way I wanted. I discovered tonight that the .wav files should be <100k otherwise it doesn't ring. Perhaps bigger files take too long to load???
......just discovered that this is not true....it still doesn't work. If the files are too big though, the ring is not previewed when assigned to a category or contact.
PhoneExt
I am having the same problem with the ringtones as they don't want to work for the people calling. Guess I'm gonna end up switching to different program for rings until it's figured out what's causing it not to work. I haven't tried the less than 100k thing but will today.
Hello !
Can you help me to change the sms sended (in italian is Messaggio Inviato)sound ?
That is the sound notify that you receive when you send sms.
I hope you'll understand me, because my english is really poor
Thanks
Not sure about your device. I have a Magician but the sms notification sound can be changed by tapping Start->Settings->[Personal Tab] then tap Sounds and Notifications, then click the Notifications tab and you can change whatever system sound you want to a different one.
Hope this helps.
Thanks ppc4.
But in my settings(I have Qtek2020i) I don't think to have that setting.
I refer to the sound of the "balloon" showing your message is sended
I think that probably this sound is stored in \Windows and could be changed with an other with the same name.
Now the problem is that I don't know the name of this file....
Can you help me?
I think you're talking about the little "doink" sound when the sms is sent. This file is in the windows folder and is called "Default.wav".
It is a system file and can be overwritten but I'm not sure if the standard File Explorer will let you do that or not. You may have to get something "Resco File Explorer" to allow you to overwrite it.
Thank a lot !
You've understood perfectly my request
The last question.
The "default.wav" is referred to sms notify only ?
Or other apps use this sound ?
Ya, I was going to warn you about that. Other apps will use this sound as well whenever the default sound is needed by the OS. So, if you really want to change that sound, make it something that won't annoy you if it's used elsewhere. I can't really recall whatever system functions use it. The suggestion would be to change it to your liking and see it how it goes for a few days. You can always change it back.
Effectively after your consideration I think that the best thing is try for few days and verify if ths sounds of the other apps change also.
Because I would like to generate a female vocie that say me "Message sent" (but in Italian "Messaggio Inviato").
I think this voice couldn't be good with other apps
Thank you very much for your useful suggestions :wink:
HI All. This one is, I think, :lol: is a relatively straightforward query. I want to change the default sound that's played when an SMS has been sent. I CAN'T see an option to change it in the 'Sounds and Notification' icon
Hi, im no expert at modifing things but i have to anwser this as i can't see 36 viewings and no one has answered you, i hate it when that happens.
If anyone else has any ideas then please post them but what i would do is find the sound file that makes that default sound i.e default.wav (no idea if this is actuly the file) and rename the sound file i would like to use the same name i.e default.wav. its problt best to back up the original before you do this coz the default sound is probly used for other things too
Hope this works and i also hope some1 else has a better plan
Thanks jab1a. That's what i like...a good logical solution (no wonder I missed it! :wink:
Is there anyway to have a custom text message ring or a custom alarm ring?

um...for what/where?

PS Generic answer: sure!
Yes. But first, a suggestion (actually two):
You'll get a much better/faster response if you make your thread title more descriptive... "T-Mobile MDA" could mean anything! And in a forum dedicated to this device, it's sort of redundant.
And for the second suggestion... well, not to give you grief, but your question is *very* basic. You could probably figure it out by reading the manual, or poking around on your MDA. Not a subject really worthy of its own thread.
That said, here's the answer:
Go into Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications. There are two tabs; play around with what you see there. You can set sounds to most things that you do or that happen on your MDA. If you have a custom or special sound that you want, copy the sound file into the My Documents folder on your MDA; and then you will be able to select it in the Play Sound selection box on the Notifications tab.
Okay, sorry about the title, newbie issue.
But please don't assume that I haven't read the manual. Yes I have already done numberous times what you have suggested, I have plenty of files, but for some reason custom files are only compatible for ring tones. So unless you can provide me new information without being condescending as to the simplicity of the question, then don't provide anything.
Sorry for my tone, it just goes back to the saying about assuming.
New sms Tones
What you need to do is to put the sound you are after, in the form of a wav file into the windows folder on your device. It then appears in the drop down list in "Sounds & Notifications".
You can get some good tones from http://www.spbclub.com/index.php . You will need to register but they also have some great tips there to.
Hope this is of use.
OK, sorry... I really didn't mean to condescend or patronize.
Ixtana's post was good: Have you tried WAV files instead of MP3s?
Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, so please be gentle with me. I have had a little search around, and still can't find a solution to my problem.
I recently flashed to Oz rom 1.5 , and I'm on radio 2.07.50.27_2.
So basically no matter what setting I put the volume to, my ringtone and notifications are always the loudest they can be (obviously not if its on silent or vibrate) I have tried changing ringtone back to the default one, and its exactly the same. Is there a reg edit I can do? Does anyone else suffer from this?
Let me know your thoughts!
Cheers

You can have it set to have different volumes for system sounds and ringtones.
When you click one of the volume buttons, do you have "System" and "Ring" tabs at the top of the page? If you do, make sure you're on the ring one to set ringtone volume. This can also be done from the "Sound & Display" options on the settings tab.
Hope this helps mate
Thanks johncmolyneux, I've already tried that and it makes no difference. I have it set so there is only one volume control (so system and ringtone volume is combined) ... any other ideas?
Sorry mate, I know that was a bit of an obvious thing to check, but you never know on here
I guess my only advice would be to go back to the ROM thread and ask there. Maybe it's a problem with that.
no prob mate... I have asked there as well and the chef wasn't sure either...
are there any registry things I can check? I was thinking maybe my phone thinks 'level 1' on the volume is actually 'level 5' or something?
its so annoying-scares the life out of me every time someone calls!

Having never had a problem with this myself, I've got no idea where this particular data is stored. It does sound like something that would live in the registry though, so I'm sure that someone on here will be able to help you out. There's some walking encyclopaedias of Windows registry on here! lol
Good luck getting it sorted mate.
any one out there now where in the registry I should look?
cheers in advance!
