Recommended Posts

can u put a custom sound for when receiving new sms, voicemail, etc.?? if so how??? where do u place the file u wish to use?

you can create the files, but putting any files in windows folder will be deleted after a reboot. Hence, you gotta tweak the registry settings to direct the alarm sounds to come from the SD card. Do a search in the forum, and there will be tutorials on how to do this.

place your sound files in: storage>application data>sounds

then set your desired sounds under: settings>sounds

But that would take up valuable storage space... the other alternative is to save the sound files in the storage card, and point the registry to the folder.

yup, you can also save sound files in My Documents in the MMC or sd card, but you really dont have to edit the registry to able to use this sound files. the OS would find them on it's own.

you only need to edit the registry when you use an custom ringtone for an specific contact, but be warned that you can freeze up your phone when someone calls you while the storage card is taken out of your phone.

Are you sure about that? I had to edit my registry... if not the phone does not find the sound files in the sd card.

yup, create a "My Documents" folder in your storage card and put all your sound file in that folder.

i put the files in storage/application data/sounds/ but when i go to settings/sounds my sounds are only available in ringer. but when i go to new sms or voicemail they are not there. what am i doing wrong? i also tried making a my documents folder on sd card but got the same problem. i was only able to select my custom sound for ringtones only.

That's why the registry needs to be tweaked... Point the registry to your folder on the SD card. This applies to Ringtones, Alarms, Messages and all the other sounds.

huh! :?: funny that i don't experience that, i only put my sound files in "my documents" folder on the sdcard or "sounds" folder under storage>application data> and viola i can use them all for sms, alarms, ringtone, etc.... no need for me to tweak the registry. no problem for me on my MPX200 and E100.

moderators pls. confirm.

I read somewhere else that do not put the sounds into a folder on your sd card. Can someone please confirm that?

I put my custom wav file under Storage Card>xxx.wav

xxx.wav shows up under all the sounds setting.

When i try to put in under Storage Card>RingTones>xxx.wav the wav file doesn't appear under sounds setting.

So i think custom ringtones if want to put inside the SD/MMC card, u got to put it at its 'root' folder.
