cant change notification ringtone... - G2 and Desire Z General

I have the family guy ringtone as my notification, and I wanted to change it... When I tried changing it, it won't change the sound when I get a message...
I tried using ring droid to make a new notification, but that didn't work... Any ideas?

I tried using that... It was a nogo...

Did you try setting the notification tone from within the messaging app?
or did you need it system wide and not just for those messages?

I was trying it from within the system settings> sound> notifications...
I fixed the issue, I had to delete the .ogg file it was associated with. Now it works like a charm.

SMS notification sound

Hey, does anyone know how to change the notification sound when you receive a SMS? I have the short standard "tune", but I want it to be like the sound you get when you tap a pencil ONCE on a table.
I can't find anything in the manual. Do I need separate software?
Regards

Settings->Sounds and Notifications
go to Notifications tab at bottom of screen
For Event: Choose "Messaging: New text message"
Then choose the settings you want.. sound file/vibrate etc. hit OK and you're set.
And if you'd like other sounds than the ones suplied on device, than drop some .wav files in the \windows directory on the device....you can them pick them in the above described way
SMS sent sound
Has anyone sussed out how to change or mute the sound the trinity makes straight after sending an SMS? The menu has every other option except that one and the actual file cannot be deleted!
Not only wav files can be dumped in the windows folder, mp3's will work aswell.
Works on WM6 anyway

Use TrinityHack to disable it
Hi I have a question to ask. Whenever I received a sms, the notification sound will be played til the end even I had already read and close the sms. Is it always like that on a Kaiser or is there anything I can do to disable it?
I still want to have the sound though.

lol

hero ? or not ?

evening
any body know a way to get my sounds ( mp3 files ) as notifercations ,
i would like to have my own text and email sounds !
i have tried by downlading a file explora program from the market but alas that dont work either
need help or ideas
create a folder called "notifications" in the root of your sd card, and place all the mp3's or wav in there and it should display when you select a sound in the notification settings.
thatnks for that ...
in the mean time i also found an app called tone picker that seems to work quite well

No problem mate.
Does that let you choose different tones for lets say both email and sms,
cause right now you I can only choose one for both.
i thought so at first but now it dont seem to ? i can have differnt tones for each email account but not a differnt one for sms ....
perhaps a folder is the way to go

If you go in to mail messages and settings and choose a notification there and do the same for sms they end up different. The personalise setting for notifications seems to change both together. Let me know if it works for you too or if its a gmail / sms only solution
The Hero has a 'default notification' sound. You can set this to whatever you want by putting your sound file in a /notifications folder on the SD. This sound file is the one used when you receive an email in the HTC email app, and also when you connect/disconnect USB etc...
You can change your SMS sound file by going into settings in the Messages app. You can change your Gmail email sound file by going into settings in the Google mail app. But currently you cannot have a custom sound file for the HTC email app without also having that sound file as the 'default notification' ie. your Hero will play the same sound when you get an email as it does when it dis/connects to USB. I find that a bit annoying but I'm sure it will be fixed in an update.

[Q] Custom SMS alerts for Contacts Using the Stock Messaging App

I'm trying to set a custom SMS tone for my best friend's contact. I downloaded the alert from Zedge in mp3 format. When I try to set the tone, I get are the default notification tones for my phone but I don't see the custom one I just downloaded.
(If I try to set a custom ringtone - I can see everything no problem though)
I even moved the tone from the Zedge folder to the notifications folder on my sd card.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here and I really prefer to use the stock messaging app. Anyone have any ideas?

Go into your contacts find the name and then edit. Scroll down to the bottom and you can set any ring tones and message alert. Hope that helps. I use ringdroid for custom ringtones and notifications.

You don't get a popup showing your options to choose from? Like in the attached image? If not, you may have to clear the defaults in either zedge or the messaging/contacts apps

That works. I had the Media Storage app set as the default app for ringtones. I cleared the defaults and the Zedge one comes up now and I can select whatever I want. Thanks!

Before I read your post, I found and applied some other instructions that requires moving the downloaded files to a certain folder. Not nearly as easy, but if anyone's interested it's here:

Cool. Glad ya got it working

??? How to change standard Email notification tone?

I absolutely hate the Email Notification tone but I can't find where to change it anywhere. I've changed the Ringtone and System Notification tone in Settings.
But I looked in the Email settings and in System but can't find it. Is it built into the damn rom? I haven't tried to manually go into /System/Audio/sounds/ bla bla bla something and look through them all. Seems kinda stupid to have to go that far just to change a tone. I'm just assuming that I am overlooking something.
Any suggestions or am I not crazy?
Just for punks ( ) I am using the stock LG Email app.

In the email app, select settings... Then select and email account (Notifications are set in the account), scroll almost all the way to the bottom and you will see "notification sound"
Change it there...
Holy crap balls. Thanks

Unable to replace "ding" sound from FB Messenger app on Samsung S7 Edge

I apologize if this is not the correct forum/thread to post this . . .
I am trying to change the "ding" sound that FB Messenger plays everything a new message arrives but I haven't had any success. I have changed both the Notification Sound and Ringtone sound but it seems that these sounds are separate from where the "ding" notification from and I can't find the location where to change it. The smartphone is not rooted. I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
It's in the "Notifications & Sounds" settings under in the Messenger app.
The default notification sound is called "Messenger" -- change it to whatever you want.
This post (#3) and post #4 are Identical. as I accidentally posted it twice and am unable to delete this post. Please refer to post #4.

Got it! Thank you. I have downloaded and transferred couple of sounds file onto the Notification folder of the smartphone and have been able to select them as an option for other apps (facebook, instagram, etc.) but for some reason I don't see those as an option with FB Messenger. I tried placing it in other folders but had no luck. Is it a specific folder where I should place the file in order to see it as an option for FB Messenger?

I had the same problem. You have them in the right spot, but you need to give Messenger permission to access them.
I have a somewhat related question.. when a notification comes from, let's say, an sms app and I have my phone set to notify me every minute of unread notification, how do I make the sound of repeat notification the same as the the original notification of whatever notified me on the first place (in this case sms app)?

I'm not sure if this is related at all but either way, in order for these experts to help you, I think you need to be a bit more specific (at least for me to try to help ) such as what is the name of this sms app and an example of what you're trying to do exactly.

Okay so I have an SMS application called go SMS pro and I have a ring tone set for it through go SMS pro app. when I receive a text message that ring tone rings but when the notification keeps repeating the sound at this point is different , it's the default in the system instead of the one I set in the app. I hope that's a little bit more clear . I used to be able to set the ring tone for repeat notifications directly in the app but that was an older versions now I have to set it through my phone settings and that sound is different than the one set in go SMS pro. also the repeat notification sound that is set in my phone settings sounds for everything that gets repeated doesn't matter of the application. so I have different ring tones set for different applications but when that notification gets repeated it all defaults to just one ring tone stead of the ones I set for each application
