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.

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...
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.

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.
I have the Motorola Photon 4G, and the one thing I miss about my LG Rumor 2 (Yes, very old) is the ability to set a custom vibration for SMS, MMS, Calls, Email, and other various things. I also miss being able to give contacts certain ringtones. Like for my GF it would play a melody and when my Mom or Dad called it would play a siren. Is there app or mod that can do this for me? I would still like to use the stock dialer and contact manager though.
Any help?
You should be able to set a ringtone for each contact in the Contacts manager. That will apply for the calls from each person.
This app will allow you to set a tone for incoming text messages and the "Plus" version of that app will work for text and MMS.

For ringtones, make a new file in your sd card called ringtones, put the ringtones inside and set it from your settings>sound
For vibrations, I'm not sure.
This will only work for ringtones, not message tones, Unfortunately.
Are there any other apps out there people would like to recommend?
,ake a folder in sd card with the name ringtones and put all ur custom rings in there .den u can hav em and about vibration i guess there is no such way....there are sum apps available which just sets the vibration times...
I want to know how to assign a custom tone for text messages to a specific contact thanks for those who can help.

With the stock messaging app, I don't think is possible. Your best bet may be a messaging app from the market. I've never used one, so hopefully someone else chimes in. That would be useful.
Havent seen anything myselfthat lets u assigne a specific tone to a contact for text messages only ringtones for callers....if you do find some something I'd like to know too :good:
I use Ringo, it had a bug, where if u used a song on external Sd card then mounted as storage it would stop working, so I reccomend using a tone on ur internal sd.
Tasker can also do custom txt tones
