I can see the sounds in ES file explorer but they don't show up under the ringtone select or notification selection. Just all of a sudden disappeared. They don't show up in the Music Player app either.
Anyone? The LiveProfile sound is there but none of the rest. They are all in the same directory.
I'm still having this issue. The sounds returned for a few days but then disappeared again.
what is your question ? you want set "your sound" to be a ring tone or notification ? is that what you asking ?
try copy your sound file to /system/media/audio , you should see few folders , copy/paste to "alarms" (clock) , "notifications" (like SMS arrive) and "ringtones"
They are there. I can see them in Es file explorer, even play them but they don't show up in the music app or in the ringtone selection list except for one.

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.
Can I change my the alert in SMS Request message delivery notification. to another sound soo I have one sound for SMS alert and another for delivery notification?

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

Just for info, in my Orange Universal rom, the sent message has different tone(cant be adjusted) than message confirmation(regular recvd msg tone)
Ok, I need a little help, as this problem has me stumped.
I wanted to set a custom notification sound, so I copied 2 new mp3 files to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications. Normally this should allow me to select those sounds as notification sounds from the sound settings, but this time it didn't work (I have done it successfully before). I then proceeded to open the files in ES File Explorer, selected Play and Set as Ringtone, Notification Tone. That worked and the sound was set as the default notification tone. BUT, here's the kicker, when I now go to settings - Sound - Notification Sound, on the screen where you can set the Default notification, Messages, Calendar, Mail and Notice, I am no longer able to select any tones for each of these categories. When I go into Default notification, where I used to get a list of notification sounds, there is no list anymore, and the Apply button is greyed out. Same with the other notification categories.
I've tried selecting a different notification sound through ES File Explorer, and that changed the Default again, but I still can't get a list to load in the settings screen. I've already tried clearing data and defaults for the ES File Explorer, Music and Android System under Apps in settings, but that didn't fix it either. I've rebooted just to make sure it wouldn't correct itself, no luck. I'm stuck. I would like to have the ability again to set these different categories of notification sounds. Can anyone help?
I ended up restoring a backup to fix this issue. Problem solved.
Hi all.
Anyone else having issues with the S6 ringtone and message alerts?
I copied a folder called media to my S6 when I first updated to 5.1.1 and I could select my ringtone and message alert tone from this folder, but yesterday it went back to default and now i can't select anything in the media folder, coincidently my video folder i used to be able to see is now not showing in the video player but is there if i browse my files??
Is there a cache clear for the system ringtone notification app?
Tried uninstalling a bunch of apps related to audio video, and cleared my files cache no joy!
I have a number of custom ringtones/notification sounds in the internal SD all this time. Suddenly, I am unable to see them in this list to set custom ringtones and notification sounds. The Z3 can't see them for some reason.... not so sure why.
The notification sounds are in the notification folder while ringtones are in the ringtones folders. Nothing has changed. I have confirmed that those custom ringtones are still in the internal SD (in the notification and ringtone folders respectively!) via the file manager.
Rebooting the phone doesn't help.
Even using ringtone apps like Ringtone Maker .. I am unable to see any of the files and set them accordingly. I could do it before. The only way I can see the ringtones/notification is when I use the Browse option in the app... then I can locate them.
Thanks for reading.
