how do i add a new ringtone to my ringtone list for the sms service, i know how to change the call ringtone. how do i do the same for the sms service?
by adding WAV files of the type ACPM (default windows pcm wav)
to the \windows dir
then they show up on the list
be sure that it is .wav or .wma or .midi not mp3 cuz himalaya doesnt support mp3 as a tone
Cheers
mid and wma are only supported for ring tones not for pda sounds such as sms notification and alarms and such
only wav works there

How can I use one of my MIDI files as the SMS alert sound?
i've never been able to change any of the non ringtones to anything but sounds present on the predifined list myself
Not sure if you are able to use MIDI files as ringtones/alert sounds. You may need to convert it to WMA or, as I have done, WAV. Once converted just copy the files to \WINDOWS on your PDA and the sounds will appear in the list.
sms alert
I changed mine to this no probs!
& this..........
Yep, & this one for reminders
all
is there a way to;
A) change the actual volume of the alert (I know about turning vol up/down) but what I want here is a louder alert when I recieve a message.
B) can I download new wav files to add to the default ones with myxda2i?
B1) if the above is answered yes, can you advise how I install them please?
Thanks

I would like to add to this.
I have downloaded .wav files and copied them into the windows directory, but when I go to listen to them in the sounds and notifications section they don't play, this has happened to all .wav files apart from one so far.
Look for the Nokia sms sound file uploaded somewhere in this forum. it works on my imate pocket pc and is loud.

I've also noticed that many wav files are some how encoded in mp3. So they have a file ext of .wav but ppc will only play pure wav files. If you switch the file ext on the wav's that do not play to .mp3 they will sudenly play in windows media player. this will tel you that it is not pure wav encoding.
if you choose properies of the wav file on the pc
it should ms ad pcm as format then it's a pure bred
puls modulated media
Guys is it possible to have a wma or an mp3 as an sms alert tone?
Hi,
On my qtek 1020, I had set up a mp3 song as my ringtone, but now I want to change it. When I click on other songs, i do not see the Set as ringtone option. I even deleted the song which was set as the ringone, but it still plays as the ringtone, and on other songs I still dont see a set as ringtone option. Whats the best way to change the ringtone?
Thanks
Go to Start->Settings->Phone to set your ringtone.
The ringtone you set is probably now in windows\rings
Hi,
Thanks for that. I was able to delete that ringtone by going to windows/rings but I still dont see "set as ringtone" options for other Mp3's that I have got. I copied an MP3 song to the windows/rings folder, but still dont see it as an ringtone options..any ideas How I could possibly set this up as a ringtone?
Could this have something to do with the file size?
if it's wm2002 it can only use wav ring tones
if it's wm2003 then it can only use wav and mid and wma ring tones
you can make mp3 to wma using the free program CDEX
If you have installed a media player that has associated itself with .mp3 then you will not be able to select mp3s in the settings. You will need to open the player installed and clear the association in settings. If this does not work search for "mp3 ringtone" and you will find the registry setting that you may need to manually change.
How can i change the sound to when i get a text message only if i can change it to one of my mp3 sounds. I have an HTC HD2
my opinion ,
convert the mp3 file to wav then copy to Windows folder ,
then u can change the SMS sound .
