The other day I updated my fascinate to the EBO1 modem and froyo rom. Everything seemed to go fine and everything runs fine except my sms tone. It always plays, without fail, a the same random song in my music folder (not one in the notifications folder and it has never been used as a ringtone). No matter what I change it to in the sound settings it still plays that song.
I then changed the name of the song it plays and then it stopped playing it as a notification but it still doesn't allow me to change it off of that song. I checked my contact settings too. Everyone is set to the default ringtone overall and none are in any group.
Is there some other way to change the sms tone other than settings > sound settings > notification ringtone ?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried to change the settings within the app itself? Open mms menu/settings/notification settings.
good day.
That was it! Didn't even think to look their -_-
Strange thing was though, when I opened it up it was set to a android default sound and not set to that random song.

I recently flashed my Topaz to a 6.5 ROM, and I'm loving it. It's slick, smooth abnd fast. My only gripe is that no matter where I seem to put an MP3, I never have the option of choosing anything but one of the three default rings as a ringtone:
Ring01 - WindowsPhone
Ring02 - Velvet
Ring03 - Flame
They're all the same!!
Surely Microsoft hasn't locked this down?
"oh listen! someone's got a Windows phone! let's point and laugh and joke at them with their gay ringtone that can't be changed!"
Theres two ways you can set the ringtone.
First you can select the mp3 file and from the menu select "Set as Ringtone"
or
Copy the mp3 file to /my documents/my ringtones and then select it from the ringtone list as normal
I don't have the option on right click menu to 'Set as Ringtone'
Placing MP3 in that location does not show it in the list.
Could this be a Cooked ROM issue?
I am using TOM Topaz from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526966
use file explorer, select and hold on the mp3 file, u will se options such as copy, paste and set as ringtones.
by the way " /my documents/my ringtones " this is the location in the device, not in SD card
Worked, thanks!
it's doesn't worked for me
I dont have "paste and set as ringtones", just only "pase" and just have 3 rings tone
Ring01 - WindowsPhone
Ring02 - Velvet
Ring03 - Flame
(
Someone helpme plz!
I use rw6828, ROM WM 6.5
Do you have a "/my documents/my ringtones" folder? What's in it? If you don't, create one and see if it makes a difference. Oh and "", to those who seem to think cooked roms are great and stable..
I've a similar issue... Rom in signature.
I've set a .mid file as ring. Anyway it's present in \my documents\suonerie. But it doesn't work. When I call it uses a different ring. And if I go into sound and notification settings I can't play that .mid for a preview, but it's playable with wmp...wazzup??
same problem with me I've made a folder on the sd card on my experia x2 named My Ringtones(this helped to put my mp3's there and the phone to recognize them as a ringtones) and when I enter my sounds and notifications it shows all the mp3 files I've put there and use as personalized rings and they work but sometimes when somebody call me my phone start ringing with some strange win mo default melodie(ugly SE melody) and I have to change it again with some of my own's but as u can guess it lasts just a few days and than the old story repeats........
any suggestions.....
Can't set ring tone for incomming calls
I loaded WM6.5 ROM on my Treo 750.
Everything is great except one issue...
... I cannot set the Incoming Call Ring Tone.
When I go into the options of the phone, it is set to "none".
I set it to "Vibrate and Ring", then set a ring tone.
When I save/exit, it reverts back to "none".
I tried mid ring tones, wma, and mp3.
I tried ring tone only and vibrate only also...
... But no matter what I set it to, it keeps reverting back to none.
It WILL NOT ring or vibrate on incoming calls.
The SMS, Voice Mail, Missed Call, and email notifications all work fine.
Oddly, when I go into settings, sound options, then notifications, the incomming call ring tone is set.
I can change it and it saves. But it has no affect.
And the options in the phone dialer still has "none" selected.
ANY Help would be great!
Thanks

Does the ring tone play in your settings?

Thank you for the reply!
Yes, it plays when I press the play button in settings.
Maybe you have an app with call profiles and the silent or mute one is activated. Something like Spb Phone Suite.
If you don't have another profile app installed, I would suggest a hard reset to fix the issue.
Hello
I have a WM 6.5 Phone with manila version 2.5.20113030.0 and ROM version 2.53.405.5 and I want to ask if is possible to have caller id function with sms ?
When someone call me the phone ring with different sounds for every one but when I receive a sms for all is the default sound can I change this?
For the first one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4013807&postcount=21
So I love my HD2, but have noticed that when you set a ringtone for a contact, it is just that a ringtone. This may sound silly, but is there a way, or a mod that will also play the same sound I have set for the ringtone, when I get a text message from that same contact?
Reason I ask, I use this phone for work, I get pages (text msgs) sent to my phone when a job or server has a problem. I then also have my bosses (as well as many others) contact info set up with a certain ringtone. My 6+ year old Motorola SLVR would play the same sound that was set for the contact if the person called, or texted. It made it difficult at times if my phone was across the room to determine if someone was actually calling or just sending a text, but if the HD2 could do this, I could at least separate out a majority of contacts from work pages.
I find it amazing my old 6+ year old phone could do this, but the HD2 cannot.
Thanks in advance!
One can set different ringtone for different event happening with HTC Sense 2.5.
Click Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications.
Pull down the Event field for selection of happening. Set the appropriate ring type and ring tone to your desire.
Thanks, I get that.. I have a different ring tone per type already set up. Allow me to get a little more technical.
Sally - Ringtone = Song A
Bruce - Ringtone = Song B
Text Message notification = Song C
Right now, if Song C is set as the Text Notification, no matter who sends a text, Song C is played.
I want that if Sally sends me a text msg, her ringtone, which is set at Song A plays. If Sally sends me a text and then Bruce sends a text seconds later, I want Song A to play, then Song B to play.
Instead, the way the phone and software work, in the same scenario above, Song C is played both times. Song A and B are only played if the contacts Call, not text.
Pickin up what I'm throwin down?
OK. Understood what you meant now.
I don't think it is achievable with whatever that is available on the phone now.
Only commercial software has that kind of feature.

I've tried fixing this and searching a lot of forums. My calendar is playing a sound out of my music library for a notification sound. Problem is that its three minutes long so if I leave my phone somewhere when the alarm rings, its annoying to folks.
I've gone to settings/sound and thats fine. I've gone to calendar/settings/reminder/ringtone and set it to something like teleport, and then tested it by putting an appointment in and it gives me the new ringtone. But everytime I get an appointment synched from Exchange, it deletes this selection and uses the song from my library. The song is NOT shown as a selection in the menu, nothing is shown as selected after I get this notification sound.
I remember noodling around some months ago and finding some way to set custom ringtones for various notifications. I probably selected a/this song for calendar then changed it back, but saved the setting somehow in Titanium, now when I do a restore, I get it back. I've tried rebuilding my data.img completely this way, and still have it. I'm not using ringdroid or ringext or anything like that. I haven't copied this song over into the media folder.
This is driving me crazy! Any ideas?
Slight update, deleted the song and now Calendar uses the default notification sound in Settings/Sounds... But it still removes the selection under Calendar/settings/reminders/ringtone...
After the last official update something weird started happening to my phone. After random periods of time (1 - 5 days) all my ringtones and notifications sounds for all the applications seem to change by themselves.
Gmail will have no sound selected, Gtalk will pick one random MP3 file from my music folder, alarms will get the "Beep" sound, SMS/reminders will get a different (default?) sound, contacts that had custom ringtones will get the default ringtone, and the default ringtone for all contacts is changed too.
It's a little annoying, I can set everything back the way it was quite fast, but something else happens: for a few contacts only (random each time) I cannot change the ringtone anymore. The default one is set, I choose another one, but the new ringtone isn't applied. The only way to change the ringtone is to erase the contact and create it again (or sync from outlook to have it back).
Anyone else got this problem? I guess a hard reset will solve it, but I'm too lazy to install everything again etc.
I still have this problem. From time to time, all my notification shouds (alarm, message, ringtone, custom ringtones, everything) will change to random mp3s from my alarm/notification/ringtone or music folder.
It's not related to USB cable / SD mass storage mounting, I rarely use that. It usually happens in the background while I'm not even using the phone. Suddenly, it will e.g. start playing a whole mp3 track from may music folder when I receive an email.
Anyone else getting this stupid issue? I found a lot of people complaining in other threads and other forums, but no solution. I hate having to set my custom tones again and again...
HTC Desire HD too
My HTC Desire HD is also playing random mp3s with notifications. Not mail, that remains the same. But calendar and SMS all play mp3s. I can't seem to fix it. The notification settings still say it's meant to be playing a standard ringtone, but nope, mp3 it is.
Anyone figured out a fix?
I don't know if it helps, but I renamed my "Music" folder (that's where I had all .mp3 files that would randomly become ringtones) to something else and also removed the HTC Music widget from homescreen. Sometimes the ringtones will revert to HTC default and stay that way after I connect to USB mass storage / disconnect, but a phone reset will solve that.
Hi,
I'm having the following issue with miniCM6 release 1.0.0 and I also had it with lizypen's stable 2.2.1 ROM (based on miniCM also):
The default ringtone for notifications is a horrible sound called 'Terrible Twos'. I have tried to change it in Settings -> Sound -> Notification ringtone and apparently the ringtone is changed, however whenever a new notification comes in (e-mail, SMS, aynthing) the Terrible Twos sound pops up again and no ringtone appears selected in Settings. I use Handcent SMS, that allows to 'test' the notification settings and when I test it the behavior is normal (i.e. the ringtone that I selected appears as the default) but when an actual SMS comes in the Terrible Twos sounds again.
So what I had to do is to manually set a notification ringtone in every application that generates notification (SMS, GMail, the 'other' e-mail, Calengoo, etc. etc.), thus overriding the default. However this is no solution for me, because sometimes I discover a new application that generates notifications and I have to go and set it again. And there is the FM radio, that generates a notification whenever a new favourite station is set and that notification ringtone cannot be set so is always the system default
Is there something wrong with my phone or somebody else has noted this too?
Regards
Bump!!
Am I alone with this little but annoying problem?
once i have that problem my solution was use root explorer and copy my own music on sdcard/media/audio/notifications and then i was able to select my songs form settings and notifications
Or may be getting rid of that ringtone via root explorer may help. No experience, but just a thought!
Thanks a lot gabo_10!
Apparently the system default ringtone has to reside in the memory card to work properly.
karefri, I haven't tried deleting it, because I don't know where it is! There is no 'Terrible Twos' in /system/media/audio, where all ringtones are.
Regards
Well, I moved my preferred notification sound to the sd card but the problem persisted...
HOWEVER, I switched to Elelinux and the problem is gone! It's a very nice ROM!
