Guest hothands2 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 Hi can anyone tell me if it,s possible to download tone for New SMS message alerts?and if i can how do i go about ,i downloaded tones to the card for ringtones but wondered if if possible download them for other alerts.
Guest Terry21uk Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 Yes it is. Just go to start, settings, sounds. Go down to 'New SMS Message' and just press the action key to bring up the sounds list and pick one. Any sound you download as a ringtone can also be used for any other alert inc the alarm clock as well. How cool is that!

Guest Terry21uk Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 Hmmm. Sorry about that. I don't store my sounds on my storage card, they are stored in the phone memory in 'my documents'. If you don't allready know how to do it you could try this. You could try copy & paste from the storage card to my documents useing active sync. Select the storage card folder, open it & find the ringtone you want to copy right click on it & click copy. go back to phone memory,click on it & you will see the my documents folder, don't open it, simlpy paste the ringtone into the folder. that should do it.
Guest hothands2 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Spoke to Orange and the only tones that can be changed are the ringtones the others cant be changed and only the installed ones can be selected.
Guest Disco Stu Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Absolute rubbish but no surprise. As Terry21uk says above, you will need to store the SMS tones on the phone itself although the folder to put them in is \Storage \Application Data \Sounds. They need to be wav files and PCM-formatted. If the wav file doesn't show up in the Settings selection, copy them back to your PC and use Windows Sound Recorder to reformat them. You will find that program in Accessories, Entertainment.
Guest James Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 thats rubish! just put the sound files (WAV or WMA) in Storage/Application data/Sounds
Guest digger Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 You can only use WMA's for ring tones. Not for SMS notification or alarms etc. Not sure what the difference is :?:
Guest hothands2 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Hi are you saying that i can download a different alert tone for New SMS Messages ,i was told that only ringtones could be downloaded which iv done no problems.
Guest martin Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 I store my WAV files in /Storage card/My Documents and they show up in all the sound options :D
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 I store my WAV files in /Storage card/My Documents and they show up in all the sound options :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ditto :D
