Text message sound

[nolajersey]

Sorry if this has been asked before but is there a way to use your own sound as a text message alert? I figured out how to get my own ringtones but I can't find a way to do the same for texts. Thanks everyone.

I believe that you just need to copy the file you want to application data>sounds and it will show up as text message alert option.

be forewarned, you can not stop a txt sound. So choosing Yoko Ono's greatest hits will get annoying quickly....

Thanks for the warning.


Thanks for your help.

I don't believe this is correct. I did a search for the current files that the smart phone uses and they are all stored in the My Documents/My Ringtones folder. I did notice that there is a difference between all the files I uploaded and tried to get to work and the ones the standard ones the OS uses currently. The difference is that they are WMA files and 20K in size. leads me to believe they are a simple mono ringtone. Might be a registry limitation to the file size? Maybe they can only be WMA files?

If anyone knows this answer, let me know. I'm also trying to find out how to change my default alerts. Thanks.

it's known there is a file size limit on the Q9's...

I think that's only for the Q9h. I've used songs approaching 10 mb for ringtones on my Q9c. I keep all my sound files in the root of the storage card.

Well I know there was a limitation for allowing MP3s to be your ringtones, I have modified my key entry for the ringtone. But I have a simple 16K AOL "You've Got Mail" MP3 I want to use as my Alert to any incoming Mail. Can't seem to get the phone to recognize it. I did a search on my phone to find out where "Alert-Echo" (default alert) to see where all my alerts are stored. my result was that they were stored in My Documents/My Ringtones. I'll place my simple "You've Got Mail" MP3 in that location but the phone won't see it as an alert. Which... is why it leads me to think it needs to be a WMA file.

Wow, I guess all it needed was a soft reset of my phone and it picked it up from the location JNight said. My apologies. It works now. Thanks!
