Hello all, I am wondering if I can have select notification/message tones for my Razr 912. I know how to select ringtones for people, but can it be done for the other. I am NOT rooted, and have OTA 4.0.4
I did use the search, and didnt see the question asked for the Razr. Links and advise are greatly appreciated or an answer telling me why I cant do it would end this curiosity.
Thanks in advance
Questions belong in Q&A
Are you talking about distinct notification tones for each app (like one tone for email, another for Facebook, another for texts, etc.) or for different people (like one tone when this person texts me and another tone for when that person texts me)?

I think this is the Q&A forum. Anyway. You can set a distinct notification for each app by going into their settings. As far as contacts go I use Ringo lite from play. You can set individual ringtones and notifications for each contact.

If you install 'rings extended' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angryredplanet.android.rings_extended&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5hbmdyeXJlZHBsYW5ldC5hbmRyb2lkLnJpbmdzX2V4dGVuZGVkIl0.
and then go back in to gmail etc.. you will have the option to use rings extended then choose 'select music (rings) you can choose any file on your phone to set as your ring tones
or
install zedge and then download any tones etc.. from there and you have an option again to set it

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...
im new to the world of android and i have a few noob questions that i was looking to get some help with. any help will be greatly appreciated.
1. how do i get custom ringtones for text messages? i can set the ringers for contacts and incoming calls but is there a way to change them for texts?
2. is there any way that i can use google voice on my phone without having to port over my sprint line. i just want to add a second line to my current phone. or does anyone know of a free voice over ip app.
thanks in advance for all help.
To get custom ringtones for text messages, go into your text messaging app, menu, settings, notifications, then notification sound. From there you can change it. If you use an app such as ringdroid, you can create your own ringtones and they will appear in the notification sound menu when you copy the file from /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones to /system/media/audio/notifications, using root explorer, etc., then reboot.
Also, you have to be rooted to access the system files using root explorer.
if you go into the notification setting that way it one gives me the choices from the ringtones that came with the phone. how do i assign rings that i download as i did for incoming calls without rooting my phone.
Dear All,
Does anyone know how to adjust some setting to make the text message alert happen more than once?!
It must surely be possible if the inferior iPhone does it!
Many thanks
Go SMS gives you that option and a ton more.

The stock messaging system IS pretty awful. It's a shame they didn't put more thought into it.
I use GoSMS myself. It has settings for setting up reminders.
Is there anyways to have motion work with GoSMS?
Thank you all - I'll have a look at GoSMS
If you want to use the stock messaging service, and you still want to receive motion alerts and whatnot from your phone. I have been using this app called Easy Reminder. It seems to do exactly as I had hoped, it will give you a reminder tone, or vib whenever you have missed sms. There is also configuration for missed calls. Again, this is if you would like to retain stock functionality but just want missed call and sms reminders.
Also one motion feature will alert you when you pick the phone up if you have missed events.

Yeah GO SMS is the one you want:good:
OK, I have searched high and low for anyone having this issue, and have found a few posts that are similar to the problem I am experiencing but not quite the answer I am looking for.
I am a happy Galaxy Note owner, who did the upgrade to ICS through my carrier, which is Rogers, up here in Canada. I am having issues with my ringtones. It appears I cannot switch my ringtone for individual contacts, after installing the update. I am able to choose my ringtone in the contact menu with no problem, but for some reason, it reverts back to the main/default ringtone I have chosen as a general ringer. I am able to change out the ringtone for the phone itself, with either the preinstalled tones, or tones that I have installed manually, I just can't get them to work for individual contacts. Everything was working fine while I was on GB, but no dice on ICS. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried changing the tones to different folders and such, and the ringtones I want are showing up in the ringtone menu but will not take effect, even after a reboot. Any suggestins would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Shad.
stock Contact app?
A friend of mine had the same problem and we found they were using an alternative Contacts app that didn't work. Are you using the stock contact app to assign the ringtones?

Yes, I'm using the stock contacts app. I've tried everything, but I may have sorted it out. It looks like there is something wrong when u do it by the contact menu. I seem to have one working now, but haven't had any phone calls since. I had to manually add it to the media>audio> notifications folder. I hope it works, I should know tomorrow!
Finished setting up my new V10 and I just noticed that all contacts have a main ringtone 'af_failure' which is barely audible. Worse is that I cannot edit the ringtone in each contact for some reason. Contacts are from Google and Exchange, ,and both are affected. Only work around I found is turning on Ringtone ID which selects a different ringtone that I cannot find how to change. The default ringtone in Settings> Sounds is VZW Airwaves (for now at least). Thanks
PS It's my first LG so...
My first LG also. I have no issue editing my contacts ring tone.
Fixed it. I simply had to go in the sounds choose a new ring tone, then select the one I wanted. All contacts now have the default. Kinda weird but as long as it works now
