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 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
Helloe guys. As I am new to WM please tell me, where do I have to place my own ringtones (mp3) in order to use them as ringtones (this one I know), for SMS alert, alarm etc etc. THANK YOU>
Directory is: Windows\Rings\
Or simply select desired audiofile with Stylus and hold until the menu opens. Then select "Use as ringtone".
That was not exactly what I asked, but thanks for the answer anyway. U cannot use mp3 for text messages, the WAV files that u CAN use for sms , are to be placed in windows root directory..and so on.... This is what I found out today.
The Xperia doesnt seem to support mp3s or custom ringtones. I managed to get one to work for incoming calls, but is there any way to do this for other sounds, for example receiving a text message? Is there a certain file type or folder that they have to be in to work, or something like that?
Drop your sound files in \application data\sounds and then re-enter "sounds and notifications" under settings and they should be there. Ive used .mp3 and .wav files

Did you try searching either the forums or Google before you typed this message!?!?!?!?!
Hi!
Trying to add my own custom made mp3 as a sound for incoming sms, but the damn thing doesnt show in the list of sound files, I even put it in the exact same directory as all the others and tried converting to wav and wma.
Thoughts?
When you say 'the same directory as all the others', where are you talking about?
Because message tones don't go in the same folder as ringtones.
Well I tried both the folder in windows directory which contains both ringtones and alert-type sounds and the dir named "my ringtones". The custom sounds all appear when selecting a new ringtone, but not when selecting the sms, mms, etc.
Convert your file to .wav and store it in the windows folder.
Thanks pdafuzzi. That did it.
