I have the GNote i717 and have a number of sound files (mp3) in the notifications folder and not all of them show up when I try to assign a specific sound to an event. I know the file is there, but it won't show up on the list of available notifications to choose. I deleted a few and then a few of the files I previously couldn't see started showing up.

Is there any way to change the notification sound for text messages to a .wma file I copied to my SD card? When I go into the settings to change the text message notification sound, the sound I want to use doesn't show up amongst the possible choices. However, if I go into the menu to change my ringer sound, the five .wma files I placed in a folder I created (named "Ringtones") on my SD card DO show up. How can I make them appear amongst the text message alert choices? Is there any possible way to do this?
Thanks,
Dennis
Nevermind - I figured it out! I just placed the file in the "Media" folder (I think that's what it was). Now, it shows up in my alert sounds list.

Is there any way to get personalised notification's on the galaxy s III?
I've looked and can only change the ringtone for each contact.
Any help would be appreciated, i know it isn't natively supported, unless i'm actually going blind.
Cheers.
You need to put any notifications in the notifications folder on the internal sdcard. I have ring tones that say the persons name when it rings. You can laso put them in the ringtone folder.
Does anyone know how to add your own ringtone and notification sound files? On my previous phone, I could just drop mp3s in the Ringtone and Notifications folders in the sdcard folder. Adding them here doesn't seem to make them show up in the menu to choose them, and the "add ringtone" interface seems to only pull from songs in the music folder. Anyone have more success than me?
I just dropped the files in the ringtone/notification folders and they showed up fine for me in the respective sound settings menus.

Wierd... Chalk it up to user error... Tried it again and it worked.... sigh. Thanks for the reality check.
For some reason, the silent ringtone mp3 that i dropped into the notifications folder doesn't show up in the list of tones. I dropped the same file into the ringtones folder and it shows up on the list. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Hi im trying to add some notifcation sounds to my device ( old favourite ones from my DHD). I have placed the files in the notifications folder and rebooted my phone but they still do not show on the list in personalisation- notification sounds.
I cant work out how to assign different ringtones to different callers in my contacts list. I can enter edit mode in contacts view and change notification sound, and can change group membership, but I cannot change ringtone. I have tried it with the fiull contacts file copied from Google to Phone...makes no difference. I cannot see how to copy contacts to the SIM...maybe that is what is required..? Can anyone help please..?

I dont see anything unusual. Do you not have this ringtone line on your edit contact screen? All my contacts are just on google, not on phone or sim.
Are you trying to change to a stock ringtone, or a custom one? I had trouble changing to some custom tones, then i realized the phone didn't like the capitalization of the folder in which my ringtones were in, after changing the folder name from "Ringtone" to "ringtone" I was able to change.
I had that issue also. I went into settings/sound and notification and turned off "Ringtone ID". When that was turned off, I was able to assign specific ringtones to specific contacts.
Perhaps that may help?
