Use the app "Tone Picker - MP3 Ringtones" from market (free), then go and set ringtone for notification noise, and choose the MP3 using Tone Picker
No idea about the other bit.
Thanks mate but this app still doesn't allow me to choose a dedicated tone for email.
Surely its a bloody basic feature to be able to select ringtones,alerts from my files.....I could do it on a basic Nokia years ago!

On the root of your SD create a folder called "media". Inside that, create "audio". Inside that put folders called "alarms", "notifications" and "ringtones" . then put your mp3s in your relevent folders,... then you should be able to find them when trying to select them.

The easiest way is probably to use a file manager. For example, if you have Astro installed, just long-press the mp3 file and select Music Options > Set as Ringtone.
Alternatively you can make one folder: Media>Audio>Alarms>Notifications>Ringtones
Put all your mp3 files here and you can assign them as alarms, sms tones or ringtones.

Which mail app are you using? I am on Froyd 1.1.1 right now, which uses vanilla mail. When I open settings, I can pick my ringtone for the Email notification.So then I install tonepicker, and when I open this menu, I am asked what I want to choose tone with. I choose tonepicker, and then it lets me pick an MP3 or whatever I want
If you tell us what type of email account it is, we can see what you need to do...

how do you set custom rings or sounds on the hero for txt i tried ringo lite and created a folder called ringtones but in riingo my songs did not populate into the app
You need to go into your messaging app & set the ringtone from there
But you can't set different songs for different people which is really annoying, as it's such a basic function nowadays.
you got me on the texts but you can use a custom ringtone on the calls

You can if you use Handcent SMS
I find this pretty hard to understand, why isn't their a simple switch to change your incoming calls ring tones [for all your calls, not changing them one by one]? Pretty basic setup I think
any ideas?

ditto.......very easy actually. Since you had so much trouble figuring this out let me tell you now, you can't assign a ring tone to each contact if you have them saved as a gmail contact..

But you can import your gmail contacts as a phone contact, link the two, and then assign a ringtone to the phone contact. Kind of redundant yes, but I like it better than having all the email addresses I've communicated with via Gmail showing up as Gmail contacts on the phone.
Actually there is an app in the market that allows you to assign ringtones to each specific contact, even gmail contacts. Unfortunately I bricked my phone last night and can't just look to see what the name of the app is. Once I get my new phone and get it going I'll post the name of the app.

Hi guys,
I've searched for this everywhere but still can't seem to find the answer so I apologise if its already been covered.
I would like to set a .wav or .mp3 file to be my text message alert but am unable to do so, I can't seem to copy the file into the folder with all the other alerts and the options in the text alert page only let me download more from HTC!
Does anyone know how to do this?
Sorry but I'm a 3 day old noob with Android... still too disappointed with WP7 to buy one :-(
Thanks guys,
Terry.

Download Ringdroid from the Market.
You can create alarms, notifications, ringtones etc out of any .mp3 file.
That's great, does it give the function to implement the text alert as well or just create the .mp3 file?
It's the implementation of the file as a text alert that's leading me.

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how I can set different ringtones for text messages and emails on this phone please?
I can't find the option in any of the settings but surely it can be done??
Thanks
In root create folder and name it Media. Then inside create subfolders called Ringtone, Alarm, Notification and transfer desired tunes. Then in Setting- Tones choose your tune.

Another option, if you use Handcent SMS app, you can change text message tone in notification settings on Handcent.
For phone ringtone copy the tone u want to use to the ringtone folder on your internal SD card. For email/ messages copy the required tone to the Notifications folder on your internal SD card, u may need to reboot your phone.

Thanks for all your help. It's only taken me two months!
So the procedure is:
Contact
Edit
(Scroll Down)
View More
And you should be able to assign individual ringtones.
But instead the link (if it is even there) is not there/under the "Scan Business Card" button.
You can't assign a ringtone to a contact phone or messaging.

A third party app like ZEDGE will still allow you to do this. And you can remove ZEDGE after and the ringtone will stay in place. But if you try and edit it with the Samsung / Contact edit interface - the same problem as described at the start of the post still exists.
Anyone?

I've applied mp3 ringtones that are stored on my sdcard, same ringtones I've been using for years, to all my contacts using the above method.

I have the option on my T-Mobile branded Note 8 when following this procedure, although it is actually 3 lines ABOVE the Scan Business Card button.
Wonder if it is caused by using Outlook for Contacts from an O365 account?
