How to change ring tone for sms
Hey Dudes!
This is what I did:
You can copy any sound file with .wav extension and paste it into my document folder in phone memory.
-> Go to Setting -> Sound Notification
-> Incoming sms
You will see that the file that you just pasted appears in the drop down list
Enjoy!!!

Thanks for that but i just put my MP3 songs in there and i was able to select them in the ring tones and message tones too.
Also you can put it into the My Documents in storage memory and it still works, well thats all i have done, i dont have one .wav file in my phone that i use for my call tones.
Sorry i just posted this in the wrong phone support, sorry everyone.

go to setting => sound setting =>
in upper tool written as ( incoming call )
click on side arrow and put incoming sms
then change tone
sorry for wrong engliss
God bless u all thx bye..................

How to change SMS sound??

I found many posts how to change ringtone and allerts sound, never how to change SMS sound ??
Any ideas ??
Thanks for reply (I hate my sms sound)!!!
Finaly found that.
Settings->Sounds->Notifications->(Event change to sms
But this way you can only use wav files from Windows directory. I use PhoneAlarm 1.3 and store (and use for SMS) WMA melodies on Storage - very good.

you can use mp3 sounds for sms notification with ringo mobile. 8)
Here comes ...
By navigating links from this page (I think URL is correct) you can find info you need.
Convert the ringtones to WAV format, then put the WAV files in the \Windows folder. Then you can select them as SMS notification sound.

Thank you
you can also just copy .mp3 or .wav files to
\Application Data\Sounds
haven't tried .mid yet
Ringo Stinks...
Yuup you may choose Phone Alarm...
I used to use Ringo, but it sucks... it often to keep "silent" n no sound from my mp3 I ever chose.
thank you nuumuun. worked first try
found a way how to do it
Copy your files to:
Application Data\Sounds\
I copied BOTH MP3 AND MID files there and it worked!!!
I'm not sure but I think I read somewhere that you must make sure that the extension of the files are uppercase and for midi files it must be MID and not MIDI

Notifications and bluetooth

Is there any way that I can add my own sounds for notifications such as new sms and email etc.
Also, how do you send via bluetooth, with my spvm2000 it was a simple case of clicking on the file to be sent, click on send to bluetooth, job done, but there doesn't seem to be that option available.
Changing the sound settings will let you change the sounds.
To send via bluetooth, click Beam file. Bluetooth devices will appear below the IRDA ones.
thanks cymru,
re. the sound, what folder would i put the mp3 file?
re. the bluetooth, does this include mp3's and jpg's
Bluetooth - You can send any type of file this way, if thats what your asking?
Ringtones - Put in ~/Windows/Rings/
If that directory doesnt exist put into ~/Windows/
Then go to 'Start' --> 'Settings' --> 'Phone' --> [then choose the ringtone in the dropdown list.]

found the problem, have been using file resco explorer which only gives you the option of irda and email sending rather than the normal file explorer.
Still having problems setting my own sms notification though, maybe you can't do that on this device.

i am having the same problem over here..
i experimented with this and till now i discovered that u can only assign wma or wave for notifications (such as the text message or email) and they can be in either the windows folder or the windows/rings/
as for the ringtone it can be mp3 too

thanks zuz, tried using wma,wav and mp3 as sms alert but still only get offered the default sounds, whereas with the incoming call I get offered all the various formats of audio I have on the phone, finally found the correct windows folder by using file explorer rather than using resco as a lot of the folders are hidden

Use your own mp3 as sms-signal

How can i use my own MP3 for ring and smssignal?
Br
Markus
For ring you have to have the mp3 you want in the folder My Documents/My ring bells (or similar, in spanish is "Mis tonos de timbre"; for sms signal I don't know.
You can put the mp3 file in the windows map and then you can select it... It works with wav files i used for windows live
havent tried in ages with notifications like sms recieve but back then
notifications other then rings can only be wav
I checked it and you can also use mp3 files for sms etc
put the mp3 or any other files in the following folder for them to be available from the SMS sound selection dropdown menu:
Code:
\Application Data\Sounds\
put the mp3 you want to use in the root of your memory card then goto settings/sounds and notifications/click notifications tab on the bottom of the screen/pick new text message from drop down/look for mp3 in the drop down and click ok.

The notification sounds can use ONLY .WAV sound files (ringing tone for phone may be .mp3 or .wma).
Simply copy them into the Windows folder and you should be able to see them listed.
For Incoming calls - copy the tones into the Windows/Rings folder.
copy mp3, wav to storage card (not on folder)

here how to change the sms tone!

hi,
So some people are asking how to change the sms tone and put there own!
first what you need is a mp3-wav file converter! Roxio can do it or "google" for it there are some free apps able to do it!
2. Convert your mp3 sms tone in the .wav format
3. Put your *.wav file in the folder my device/my documents/my ringtones
4. Go to start/settings/sounds and notifications
select notifications and event : messaging : new text message
select your converted wav file in the ring tone menu
5. done
Ps : there are 2 wav sms tones in the files below, simply put them in the my ringtones folder
Bye fabien
Hmmm, Doesn't show up for me.

what doesn't show up?
Try dropping a MP3 directly into the Windows folder it should show up under all types of alerts then. When I put it into ringtones or rings it will only let me apply it as a ring tone not alert tone. I have not tried a WMV every thing I have is MP3 and there is a decent MP3 trimmer on the LEO so you just pick your start and end point and drop it directly into the Windows folder.

Sorry, The .wav file that I drop into the directory that you suggest. It doesn't show up as an available option when trying to change the tone for SMS.
I'll try dropping it into the Windows directory, as suggested above.

That worked Now I can use my Yoda Message again.
Mmmm, sms tone in the windows folder, there is.....
you can put all alert tones (.wav, .mp3 depending on what alert you want some can use both) into \Storage Card\My Documents
The phone will then find them.
You can cut and paste all the tones from phone memory to here to save some space. (Maybe not strictly needed on HD2 but useful on my previous phone - Diamond)
The \Storage Card\My Documents\Ringtones (or Rings or My Ringtones) never worked for me previously, I havent tried on HD2 but maybe this will help?
cheers

While this does work, the problem with this is that all your ringtones and alerts will show up in your music library.
I've found that putting your ringtones (activated when someone calls you) into your phone's memory, under Windows\Rings folder will work.
For alerts, for some reason this will not work - despite the fact that there are already numerous alert files in there (prefixed by 'Alert-somefile.wma'). To get Alerts to show up you need to actually put them into the phones memory, under the Windows directory.
If you do this, the ringtones and alerts will NOT show up in your music librar but you will be able to select them for ringtone/alert purposes.
there must be a way to add a folder as an exception in the music player just like how you can in the Photo/video album

When you say drop it directly into the windos folder where do I find that folder? When I go into my phone memory I get the following folders:-
Application Data
Conn Mgr
Documents and settings
MUSIC
My documents
Program Files
To use a mp3 for notifications, you need to place the sounds into the following folder
device------application data-----SOUNDS
all the files here will then show up as being available for all notifications ie mail, sms, mms, email etc
ringtones need to be in the ringtone folder, or just press and hold on the file you want to set as a ringtone from file explorer, you will get a menu popup with the option to set the file as a ringtone, it will then be automatically be copied into the ringtone folder aswell.
Hope this helps a little..
