I'd love to know this too as I have exactly the same situation...

ok, you two, I don't really know what the problem is, since I can use any sound I use for a ringtone as a sms ringtone.

I am only using Wav-files so perhaps that is the reason (i think it has have a certain bitrate though).

I'm going to answer your question anyway, but i think you might already done this

Put a wav in the folder: Storage\Application Data\Sounds

(for the SPV classic: IPSM\Application Data\Sounds )

Then go to your settings/sounds and be set sms message to the choosen sound.

please tell more about the problem,

What you need to do is set phone up with activsync, go into explore on activsync window, go into mobile device, then windows and drag and drop the tone you want in there as sms tone. you cant view the current sms tones when you go into windows from the file manager on the phone but there all there going through activsync.

Hope you get this to work as its cool now i have sorted mine.

You need to use a program called SD Sounds, I had it on my E200 and I've just used it to set a WMA as my text tone on my new C550.

I don't have a link but a quick search here on MoDaCo should find it.

Hello there another Newbie! I've been looking at this thread as I'm having problems installing new tones in to the windows directory. The new wav files stay in the Windows directory but if I switch the phone off and then on again the newly installed files dissapear! I've tried placing the files using file manager on the phone and via active sync on the PC, any ideas as to why they are not staying put?? Many thanks in advance Manoj

Welcome to the forum :)

As you've just discovered, the Windows folder is rewritten when you restart the phone.

Place them into \Storage \Application Data \Sounds instead.

or just install the program called RJV Tone Setter! Works like a charm.. let's u explore any folder on your phone or SD card... and when u find the file, just click on menu, set as ringtone, sms etc...

Hello there Newbie here again, looks like the trick of putting the files into the storage/application data/sounds folder seem to have worked.

Many, many thanks Manoj
