Guest jmoak Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Can I add my own message tones? I know how to add my own ringtones but what about message tones? My ringtones that I have added do not show up under message tones. Also when I open something up how do I go about closing out of it completly? It seems when I mess with my ringtones or contacts after and I back out of it. I can go under task manager and see that it is still open. Why is this?

It seems when I mess with my ringtones or contacts after and I back out of it. I can go under task manager and see that it is still open. Why is this? If you go to Settings - Sounds you should find all your various alert tones and ring tones are set here and, at least in my case, all the sounds I have added to the Shadow show up here. Microsoft originally intended it this way so that once you launched an app, it was always in memory to launch again. They claim that when memory gets low they close apps, but I've never seen this happen. Use Task Manager to close apps as required.

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Oh, it DOES happen. Not much on the Shadow, with it's plentiful RAM :( P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmoak Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thanks for the help guys. I figured I would just have to close them myself with task manager. As far as message tones goes I added a file to the ringtones folder and it shows up for a ringtone but not a message tone. Should I be putting the file under music? Its an MP3 if that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jmoak Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Start - Settings - Sounds brings me to the same place as going to change ringtone. It also has the same result. My ringtone is under ring tone but not under new text message. Edited December 13, 2007 by jmoak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mandt Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Text alerts always need to be .WAV files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badbob001 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) Text alerts always need to be .WAV files Are you sure? I am able to select the following to be alerts for 'New text message': alert - T-Mobile Shadow.mp3 alert - RainDrop.wma alert - New_Reminders.wav No .mid files (midi) though. Of course, being able to select it and having it work are not the same since I've seen some formats of .wav or .wma that don't play in windows mobile. Best to see if it plays on media player mobile first. Edited December 13, 2007 by badbob001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmoak Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I tried placing it in the windows folder. It still only shows up under ring tone. I will try a .wav and .wma and see if that works. So is anyone here actually using there own ring tone as a message tone here? Also why doesn't the windows folder show up in the file explorer when look at my device from my PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jmoak Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 .wav and .wma did not work either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest funstealer Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) When you hook your phone up to your PC, find you mobile device. The screen that you see next is MY DOCUMENTS on your device, but there is also another folder called MY WINDOWS MOBILE BASED DEVICE. In that contains all of your phones system folders. In that folder theres another folder called APPLICATION DATA. In that folder is SOUNDS which is where your sound file needs to be, once its in there it can be used as a message tone. So recap. MY COMPUTER > MOBILE DEVICE > MY WINDOWS MOBILE BASED DEVICE > APPLICATION DATA > SOUNDS. There ya go! If you still can't find it after that PM me. Edit: Oh and it can be .MP3 or .WAV it doesn't matter. Edited March 8, 2008 by funstealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
