Probably not, simply because Delivery Notification is sent to you as an SMS itself.
not sure if i got this right but let me try...
when you say "sms alert" does this mean the sound the xda makes when you receive an sms? if yes then the sound and notifications will allow you to change the sms sound for new text messages. or you can use mortring to customize the sms sound for each contact.
the delivery notification which sounds off when you send an sms is actually named "default". it's a wav file; you can alter the sound by overwriting it with another file. normally the default sound goes "blip" or something like that . if you have a wav file that goes...say "ok"; what you do is rename this wav file in your laptop to "default". you then copy and paste this on the windows folder of your xda. the screen will tell you something like "there is a file with a name "default"; do you wish to replace this file?"...or something like that. click ok and the default sound should be the wav file you want.
btw; if you've upgraded to wm2005 you can't overwrite the files. i used to change the default sounds in the xda with wav files i like. upon upgrading to wm2005 i found that i could no longer do this...something about the rom being write protected...
hope that helped...
I have a sound for new text messages horn.wav but I like to have another for notifications. In settings ---> Sounds and Notifications there you can make 2 different sound for MMS one for MMS notify and one for MMS New message. But only one for New SMS message :-(
Is it possible to change someting in the S100 software?
In a Nokia there is only a bib for notify and another for New SMS message

Robson, I did just what you suggested and that solved the annoying "blip"my phone's been making when receiving sms. But my main problem is that the Sounds and notification settings on my phone no longer work. No matter what alert tone I put my settings to ( i.e Text messages/Activesync/Incoming call..etc) The phone always reverts to the "Default" tone. Can you pleae help me with this...or point me to the right direction as to where I can find more answers to "sound and notification" problems. Thanks...Loids

changing ringtones help!!! on xda2
please help!! i downloaded a xda2 ringtone pack with about 20 different ringtones, but i cant get the xda2 to assign any to any profiles. ive tried going to add ringtone , selecting the ringtone or ringtones i want to add to the ringtone selection box as it says but when i go to the sound an notifications, gone to select event and chose phone incoming call, but under ringtone still only has same old basic 10 it comes supplied with !! does anyone know what im doing wrong please help!!! thanks karl
i go into settings->system and click [add ring tone] i switch the one i want and press ok then i go into settings->personal and click [Phone] and find the file under the Ring tone: dropdown box you dont go into sounds and notifications to change ring tone
If the ringtone is a .mid file, or possibly even a .wav (others will confirm?), then you first need to choose the option to 'create ringtone' on the phone before it will appear in the Notifications listbox. On the other hand, where some users get confused, is when they cannot find a .wma file, when going into the "create ringtone" option, for the simple reason that .wma ringtones don't NEED converting, and are already in the notifications list box, if you saved them in the right place. So for .wavs, midis, and similar, you need to first choose the option on the phone to Create a ringtone. But for .wma files, if you save in the right place, these will NOT be available in the covert list, and instead ALREADY in the sounds and notifications drop down list.
All I had to do was to copy them into the Windows/Rings folder. And they were listed along with the original ringtones.
Ringer for the messages
Is it possible to change the Ringer tone for the Sms Messages? Thanks!
Yeah, get any .wav file you want and chuck in in your Windows directory. Now go to Start, Settings, Sounds and Notifications, Notifications (tab) and select "Messaging: New Text Message" in the top drop-down box. Make sure "Play Sound" is ticked and then select the sound in the drop-down box. Your .wav file should be there.
Thanks !!!
I tried this but it doesn't work Hi there, I do not get SMS sound notifications even though I have set the notification as mentioned in the o2 instructions manual. A soft and hard reset do not resolve the issue. Any thoughts on this? Is there a windows registry hack that I can carry out in order to resolve this? Cheers! Henry.
notifications on xda exec.
Hi,Is it possible to move different sounds into the notification box on xda exec.I want to change the "incoming text message " sound but the ones in the pop up box dont do it for me as they are not long & loud enough.

Losing SMS & Email Alert Tones
Hi All, I've noticed that a few times my TC has stopped playing alerts for SMS & Emails. I've gone into the "alerts & notifications" page, and when I select the SMS or Email drop down and hit the play button, it still doesn't work. (Standard phone call ringer still works though) As soon as I change the choice of alert, and back again, it starts working again. Any idea what's causing it to stop, or maybe hang? I've tried using different tones, but it's still the same; works for a while and then doesn't.
try after changing u,r sound profile.
FWIW, I had the same problem with my Touch/Elf when using an MP3 for alerts. Sounds like a little software bug to me.
jefmcg, I've tried changing the MP3s to WAV but it still happens. Alipi, you seem to be right, it happens after I've change to silent and back again. It doesn't seem to put the email and SMS tone back to normal volume. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm using the O2 profiles app to change profiles, as the HTC home one doesn't allow you to put any additional ones on. I like to have a "sleep" profile, which doesn't beep for SMS or email, but does ring the phone. Open to any suggestions or workarounds!

Click to collapse Hi, I have the same problem. But until today I though I´m alone . And I haven´t investigate that it arises after I switched form silent to "normal". Have to look into this as well... Sorry, but I haven´t got any workaround, maybe someone else...
Pobably dont belong in this thread but i have the exact same issue/problem with my Tmo Wing, everytime i change the sms tone (incoming text) it works fine for the first 5 or so text but after that just goes silent when receiving new ones...a fix or advice would really be appreciated...i have no clue
UPDATE! Ok, so I'm an idiot! I thought I had deleted the mp3 versions of my ringtones and replaced them with wav files, but I hadn't. I've since done it, and whilst they do sound slightly different (crap converter?), it SEEMS to have fixed the problem.... ...at least I've tried to move in and out of silent a few times, and the tones still sound! So, guys, perhaps try converting them to WAV and go from there. FYI, my tones sit in the windows folder.

Click to collapse stupid question, how do i convert mp3 to wav...also i have all my tones in ringtone folder shold i copy them to windows?
timace said: also i have all my tones in ringtone folder shold i copy them to windows? Click to expand... Click to collapse No - for some strange reason, ring tones need to be in \WINDOWS\RINGS, but SMS and other notification tones need to be in \WINDOWS.
Yet Another Update! OK, so converting to WAV, only worked for a while, it did eventually stop beeping for texts and emails. HOWEVER... philip gave me a great recommendation of PocketZenPhone, which is much more powerful at managing profiles, and especially on the text and email alerts, ACTUALLY WORKS!
How to change outgoing SMS sound
I've googled around the forum before I posted this, but without success.. Can anyone tell me how to assign a sound to the SMS send notification ?

Click to collapse Thanks, but that doesn't work, I already tried that... However I just found out using a Reg editor that the Outgoing SMS/MMS sound is being overruled by the general notification sound. So now I changed the general sound, it is working
Where did you change the general notification sound?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Notifications\Default
