Nice as the 'SMS Message Recived' tone is, it's really not loud enough to attract my attention - oftentimes I don't notice that I have messages for ages!
I've already got it on vibrate but that's no use if its in my coat.
Is there a way to have a personal .wav as your message recived sound. I've tried dumping one in the Windows folder, alas, to no avail.
I copied a new .wav file into the \Windows folder then went into Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications and pulled down "Inbox: New SMS message" and chose the .wav file I previously copied. I now hear the Star Trek TOS transporter control when I receive a new SMS message.
Works well!
Thanks!
Thanks - It turns out the file I tried to use was a .wma - Doh!

Hi to all members! I would just like to share to you the ring tone I'm using on my xda. Kinda different from all other ring tones commonly used. Here I used Windows XP Speech module program (in Control Panel, you'll find this menu). Go to Text to Speech tab and just type in any message you want, and let the computer speak for you. Just use Windows Recorder or any other sound recording program (i.e. Nero Wave Editor) to capture the digital voice generated. Enhance the sound and save it as .WAV file. You can download the sample Uhhh, planning to attach the sound file (my ring tone) but, there seems to be no option for attachment. Anyway, after you created voice ring tones, load this as your ring tone, when you receive incoming calls, your friends will be surprised and think they're at the Airport (something like "paging Mr......, you have an incoming call").
On the other hand--the SMSExport I installed in my xda doesn't seemed to work..it cannot even "see" my previous and new text messages. Is there any other way I can export my SMS text messages to computer (possibly upload using ActiveSynch), so I can have them printed or archive to disk? Tried also, Message Master Client Server, however it can't transmit SMS using SIM card install (or the xda radio system itself). You have to use an external phone (via infrared) to transmit SMS. Anybody can help us out on this?
Finally, I still have other things to share, but I cannot dig them out from my hard disk...perhaps next time..
Regards to all!

Hi there, first of all im a noob and ive been only using this phone for a week or so. I am wondering, is there a function to set a message alert (SMS ringtone) specifically to certain contacts? Its frustrating to use global message alert for all the contacts. It would be nice if I can know who is messaging me by assigning them a specific ringtone. Please advice
anyone care to help?
Look for
oldSAP Oist v1.4 individual SMS Tones
thanks bro.. One more question.. When choosing a tone, how do I access the folder that has default msg tones?
Update: This software only plays wav files
Sometimes my custom ringtones don't work, play a different tone or seems to play the last callers tone for the new caller.
Is there a fix?
Try this. Create folder on root of the sdcard titled "audio". Inside this folder create 2 others seperate folder. 1 name "notifications" & "ringtones". Inside the apropiate folders place the alerts tones of your choice.
Tried that, still not 100% working correctly.
Hi everybody,
I just bought my first smartphone (Droid X2) yesterday and I seem to be encountering some issues regarding two apps and their notification sounds. The Facebook App for Android installs a notification sound file called facebook_ringtone_pop.m4a but it does not play any sound when I click on the actual file through the phone, nor if I select "Facebook Pop" within the menus. I plugged my phone into the computer and played the file there and I was able to hear the sound.
I have the same problem with the IMO instant messenger notification where there is not an actual file installed, yet nothing is played when I receive an incoming message.
For either apps, if I choose one of the pre-installed ringtones, they work. I have already tried factory resetting the phone (twice), replacing the file, nothing works.
Wondering if anybody knows how to fix this. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi all, please forgive me if this has been asked before. I could not find any info on it. I am having a problem using custom ringtones on my AT&T SGS2. When I create a ringtone and put it in the media/audio/ringtones folder it shows up in my sound settings fine. When I select a custom made ringtone for my default ringer the phone won't make any sound when someone calls me. Everything else works, I can accept or decline the call, but no sound. The strange part is if I use that same ringtone for an individual contact it will ring fine when that person calls me. It just won't work for a default ringer. Any ideas?
If they're not already created, create two folders on your internal sd card. name one Ringtones and the other Notifications. Then any sound file you drop into them will show up in your lists when you go to change the respective tones.
I have already done that. They show up fine. The problem is that when I select one of the files as the default ringer it won't make any sound. But it rings just fine when set to an individual contact.
Just download ringdroid and make a ringtone from any music files you have on you're phone.....then when your done hit save and set as default. Done!
In your first post you said you put the files in media/audio/ringtones folder. I have heard before that putting them there won't work if you want to use them as tones. The ringtones and notifications folder would have to be in your main directory on the internal (or external) sd card.
I have heard of people dropping sound files into the media folders with no success when they try to use them.
I don't know. maybe I am misunderstanding your problem though.
I was able to get it working with ringdroid, thanks boobie watcher! I just opened the ringtones i already made in ringdroid and then saved them. Works fine now.
