When my phone turns on it plays the same notification tone that I use for everything else. Is there a way to change it?
Also, is it possible to separate tones for text, email, etc.... ?
Yes. Email, n txt should have an option n the app to change the sound. So do other programs you download frpm the market. The boot sound is in the boot up animation file, I believe.

yep you can just change them in the main menu - settings - sound
Looking at the title he wants to change the bootup sound. It can be done using a file manager and changing the poweron sound file in system/media/audio/poweron/PowerOn.ogg--Change this file to another. It needs to be named PowerOn in in ogg format.

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)
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 was wondering if anyone had this problem and knew how to fix it. On the Gingerbread MIUI (i.e., RG2x), I am unable to change the Notification and Conversation tone settings to silent. When I try to change it, it brings up a box asking me to choose either Music or Themes. Music doesn't allow me to choose silent. Choosing Themes just brings me to a blank screen under local resource. Any ideas?
Well just put the phone on silent mode.. But if you want individual control you should look under sound settings

I have no problem adding custom ringtones, but cannot for some reason see how to use custom notification sounds? What am I doing wrong?

I believe all you have to do is add a folder called notifications and put your sounds there. That should solve it.

I am having an issue getting the stock email app to recognize a different notification sound. No matter which one I select it always uses the same one and I can't hear it at all. I can't change it from within the email app either. Anyone else notice this?
does not support .ogg files

This has been driving me Bonkers! I have tried to move over notification sounds from my Galaxy Nexus and the problem I have run into is that this phone will not play .ogg files (open source sound files from what I understand). Like you said, it just plays the stock sound. The notification sounds and ringtones on this phone are all .mp4. So.... we will have to convert the .ogg files to .mp4 files.
Personalize app > Sounds Tab > Notification Sound > Email (default sound is 'Hint')
Unable to access custom ring tones in notification folder using the following:
Personalize app > Sounds Tab > Notification Sound > Email
Never mind, got it. RESTARTED phone and new ring tones (notification sounds) showed up in the list.
I can get to what should be the file to stop or change the Whistle sound on startup, but renaming it does not stop the sound, so it must also be elsewhere. The location is at /system/media//audio/notifications/ and the file name is S_Whistle.ogg.
Even when changed here id works. Where else is it located? Thoughts and help?
