Alert Tone for XDA2 SMS - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi guys!
How can I use a Midi File as an alert tone for my SMS Alert? I was able to use it for my Phone ringtone but not for SMS tone.
Thanks!
PARC

try sticking it in the \windows folder...
That's where I had to put my WAv files for using them as SMS tones..

SMS Ring Tones ?!?

I just want to know how to change the SMS tone to be .mp3 ??
i've placed the mp3 file under the windows folder but couldn't
see it in the drop-down list of SMS tones !!!
thank you in advance geeks ..
you need to use wav files in the windows folder for it to work
I am not a Geek!
But if I can use MP3 Files as a normal Call-Ringtone, why not also using MP3 Files as a SMS Sound?! :?:
I have absolutely no idea!! does that help?
Thanx ..
thanx guys for the help. In my opinion, it's impossible to set mp3 files as sms ring tones, you have to convert them into wav files.
havent tried it but I think you can use wma files with phonealarm

Where did you find a dialogue to select different message alert sounds? I can only find choices for ring tones, not message alerts. I've looked through the phone options and the manual but can find nothing about changing message alerts.
Doh! I just found it in Settings/Sounds & Notifications. It's a shame there is no consistent approach to setting ring tones and SMS alerts. No matter, problem solved.

Hi there.
Actually, there is a way to use wav files for sms tones.
Put your desired wav file in the \windows folder.
Go to Notifications, messaging:new text message and voila! use your wav file as your SMS tone.
:wink:
Not with MP3, that is not possible!
well i lied a bit lol ! an mp3 converted to a wav file almost an mp3 !!! tried the above still cant get it to add it to the standard ring tones ie the alarm1 alarm 2 and so on !
ive only had phone for a month so please in very easy english lol :shock:
how do i get an wav file in to this bit of the phone ???
from the active>settings>sounds&notifications>notifications
1 select an event
change that to inbox:new sms message
2 select how to be notified
tick box play sound then in the sound box all i can get is
alarm 1 , 2, 3, 4, default ,hwandsw ,infbeg ,infend ,loudest ,lowbatt ,menupop msgbox ,notify ,online ,quietest ,recend ,type ,voicbeep
pleas ecould some one tell me how to get a wav file in there with out a patch would be lovley !

Copy a wav file in the windows directory (in your PDA),, now go to Sound & Notification and see if you got that file under "TEXT MESSAGE" in the list. :? :lol: :?

How to change SMS Text msg tone?

I use this phone as a pager, and I'd like to change the SMS text msg tone to something loud and annoying. How / where do you install new sms tones?
I'm running a Cingular 8125, and I'm about to upgrade firmware later tonight.
Thanks,
Dan
Place the wav file or whatever you are using in the \windows directory and it would show up on the list in settings\sounds & notifications
:lol: :lol: Pager....
I'm an idiot... I was trying to use a .mid file and it appears it only will take a .wav.
Thanks!
Also works for the new HTC HD2.
just put the converted .wav file into the windows directory and presto.
now available in msg tone selection

The 'advance' phone does not support MP3 files as notification tone. You need to convert them to WAV.

ringing tones are ring tones!!
what i said is how I do it and it all works...
create a folder on SD card called "My Documents" put all tones/ring tones inside there, and the OS will pick them up
