Hi,
Anyone knows how to change sms tone? I have tried to change but it still the default sms tone.
I'm using LG Joy.
Welcome to forums,
Insert your desired new ringtone into windows main memory, or windows/my ringtones, or SD card/my ringotnes then select it from the list
Format normally has to be mp3
Good luck and enjoy!
it's already in the memory card but each rime i select and press OK, it has no effect.

1. What file types does the phone support
2. Where is it best to store them so that when I want to change my ring tone all available tones appear on the selection drop down list
3. Is there an editing tool I can use to create my own ring tones from the music files I have on my storage card
4. The available sounds to associate with receiving an SMS are not the same as those for the phone, why? and how can I add to them
1 as ring tones you can use wav, mid and wma
2 \windows\rings
3 i would do it on the pc doubt that there are many good audio editing programs for pocketpcs
4 sms and other nonring tone notifications only support wav and should display them in the dropdown list if places in \windows\
Thanks for all the help.
Obvious one, can I use any other folders such as those on my SD card
Fianlly, before I start putting files into the folder...I have just checked my Windows\Rings folder and it does not show any of the ringtones that appear in the listbox currently?
ie
fantasy
jig
mystic
The only one that appears is 02 phone.
you can if you edit the redestry but when the pda is off the sd is off and the gsm is on so when it rings it cant use any tones on your sd card
Thank You for the excellent advice.

Put it in your windows folder (on your phone)
does it have to be wav?
actually, i think it can be anywhere on the phone..i have mines on my Storage Card. and i see it in the drop down menu when i try and edit the ringtones.
2 place you can put the file: windows or root of memory card.
need not be in wav, mp3 also can
do not put it on your phone. put it in the root of your storage card. you'll be good to go.
or i think in a my documents folder on storage card. just so the root of storage card doesnt get all cluttery
but thats only for ringtones. for like text notifications it has to go into \windows
In the past, I've been putting them in \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones
I have a Fuze, I've tried putting the MP3 into the \Windows, \Windows\Rings, \Application Data, the root of the storage card to no avail. I still can not make the MP3 that I want as the tone for when I receive a new text message. Now, from what I've read on here I should be able to put it in any one of those spots and then go to start>settings>sounds & notifications and choose "Event" as "Messaging: New Text message" and the MP3 should then appear in the drop down box right? Wrong. I can however choose it as a ring tone for incoming calls, which I do not want.
Can anyone show me how to do this correctly or point me in the right direction? I've searched and read, but I still can't get it to work correctly.
It's only been 12hrs, but thought I'd bump this. For the morning guys.
I did this by converting the .mp3 files to .wma and placing them in the Windows folder. After a phone reset, I selected the new tones for Incoming Call and New Text Message alert.
I usually convert them to .wav files then load it to the storage card, shows up in the list with no problem.
The reason I put my tone/ring files directly into the Windows folder is that I read somewhere in the forums that placing the ringtone file on the storage card may contribute a delayed ring (for incoming calls) as the dialer accesses the ringtone from storage - which is what I had been experiencing.
After following that advice (and other tips supplied in the forum), I have notice a reduced delay between the first evidences of an incoming call and the start of ringing.
try putting them here:
application data\sounds
no need for a reset.
I do mines in this folder.
My Device > My Documents > My Ringtones
So I guess the problem is that for some reason my phone didn't recognize the 2 Mp3 files that I was trying to use and I couldn't convert them to WMA on my laptop. I found them as WMA (thank you google), put them in \Application Data\Sounds and it works flawlessly now. Thanks for the help.

BOTH TIMES!
Cool. Did that and it works!
What about Alarm Clock tones? Anyone know what folder mp3s have to be in?
Hey all,
1. Just got a Fuze a few days ago. I was able to get it to recognize my own ringtones, but I don't see them when I look at the menu for notifications such as text messages, emails, etc. Does anyone happen to know how I get my ringtones to come up on that drop down menu? I'm sure it's just a question of putting things in the right folder.
2. Is there a registry editor that works well on a Fuze? On my Q I used to use RegEditSTG. Will that still work?
Thanks guys!
for the msgs and stuff they get the rings from the windows folder.
Rings folder
It happened to be that ALL ringtones, alarms & alert tones are duplicated under the "Rings" folder which of course eats up some space out of your memory and I do not understand why have they done this if the default is "Windows" folder?!

I don't know about getting your old ringtones to work, but if you ever you need new ones, I suggest MP3 trimmer. You can drag and drop whatever songs you would like to change to a ringtone onto your fuze, open the song with MP3 trimmer, and choose the start/stop times. It will then save that file as a proper ringtone, in the proper file.

Yes, Total Commander, it's very intuitive.
I have been trying to figure out how to import new alert tones, specifically, i want to use the tones from my wing for messaging and calendar events. I have moved those tones to the storage card, but cant get the phone to recognize them for anything other than ringtones.

Create folders in your sdcard named "alerts" "notifications" and "ringtones".
hello everyone. my very first post here. awesome introductory video on the registration btw. i've searched for an answer to my problem in this forum as well as my device's development forum but not much hope.
phone: samsung s+ i9001
ROM: CyanogenMod 10 by ivendor - Alpha 5
i cannot set my own .mp3 files as the default ringtone and alarm tone.
methods i've tried:
1) using other apps to set it as the default ringtone such as: Zedge, Audiko, Ringdroid
2) moving the .mp3 file to media>audio>ringtones/alarm and other related folders
the closest thing that came up to my search in my device's dev. forum is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=119260971 and in the same thread, #820 does not seem to be able to help me as well.
so.. help please and thank you!
i can't seem to edit my post sorry if i am mistaken.
i've tried using playerpro music player as well but no luck.
and then i've tried using some of the default ringtones from the ROM and guess what - there's no tone for all my incoming calls. any idea? :/
Please create two folders in your sdcard.
1. /sdcard/notifications
2. /sdcard/ringtones
First is for sms, mms, alarm etc but the second is for calling ringtone.
Copy your mp3's to these folders and enjoy
Next you can choose ringtones in settings->sound and your mp3 will be visible in the list
