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.
I have a siemens sx56 and so far I've used Ringtonex 1.44 and PhoneExt 1.2 and both won't allow me to assign ringtones to specific contacts. they always go back to the default tone. is there something wrong with my phone?
I'm using A.30.05 rom and A.33.01 radio stack.
please help!
in this model ringtones must be .wav files. there may be limmited support for .midi or .wma, but depending on the OS you have loaded on it.
yea they're all .wav files. thing is whenever i assign a contact with a ringtone it always always reverts back to the default ringtone (Windows Default) or the ringtone i already set as default for all calls
I use PhoneExt. The program must be active (it runs in the background) to overide the default ringtone. Make sure the .exe file or a shortcut to the .exe file is in your Startup folder: My Device\Windows\StartUp\PhoneExt.exe.
After placing this file in your StartUp folder, soft reset, the program will load.
You should see an icon in your system tray when the program is active.
Go to Contacts, tap and hold on a contact, tap Set Ring Tone...
The icon in the system tray can be used to dial a contact or assign category ringtones.
just wondering if theres a application i can download that lets me set my mp3s as a ringer for emails and text messages i recieve? i already have mp3 trimmer on my phone but that only allows me to trim songs and set them as a ringtone for calls i recieve but i wanna set them for notifications also.
Copy *.mp3's into windows\ folder. Set normal.
PhoneAlarm does that too
MP3 -> notifications

Once you have used MP3 trimmer...go to settings and choose menu "All Settings". Then "Sounds and Notifications". Under notifications choose the action and then select the "tone" type. Your saved MP3 will appear in the pull-down list.
Worked for me!

I have read and searched, read and searched and read and searched. For some reason I can't change my notification ringtone for nothing. I can't even use a different stock one.
Someone please help!

Yeah, what this person said. There should be an option to change your notification sound there. You can also change, for example, your message sound by hitting the menu button when you are in the message app and then click on settings, notifications.
Something to help you that I posted in another forum.
Default Notification
Your DEFAULT notification can be found in settings > sound
or personalize soft button > notification sound > default notification
Message Notification
If you want to change the MESSAGE (sms/text) tone you would think that you could just change it from personalize soft button > notification sound > message, but unfortunately that does not work. Actually it will most likely do nothing. If you want to change your message notification then do it through the message app.
If you use HTC Messages as your messaging app: Open "Messages" then hit menu button then settings then notifications then notification sound and choose your message notification here.
If you use Handcent as your messaging app: Open "Handcent" then menu button then settings then notification settings. Here you can select a sent notification and a fail notification. But select notification settings one more time and here you can select your message notification sound.
I would think GoSMS is setup the same way. I don't have this app so I cannot give details.
Email Notifications
Your Default Mail app gets its notification sound changed by personalize soft key > notification sound > email. Make sure notification sound is turned on in the settings of the Mail app itself.
You Default Gmail app uses your default notification sound as far as I can tell and cannot be changed separately.
Alarm Notification
Alarms can be changed with personalize soft button > alarm or where you configure your alarm. A separate custom notification sound can be set here for individual alarms.
Calendar Notification
I don't use the calendar. As far as I can see, you can set up notification sounds through the personalize soft button or by going to the calendar app and changing the notification sound in its settings. Because I haven't tested this yet I cannot say if the personalize soft button way actually works. May be redundant just like the message notification sound and does nothing. So to be sure change it through the calendar app itself.
Ringtones
Ringtones can be set numerous ways. Through the personalize soft button or settings > sound > Phone Ringtone or By selecting the menu button from the home screen and selecting ringtones or by selecting your tone with the HTC Music app and selecting the menu button and then set as ringtone.
Contact Ringtones can be set when editing contacts.
Missed calls are visual notification only and Voicemail Notifications use your Default Notification sound.
Note: At what locations can your ringtones, notifications, and alarm sounds can be found?? If using an app to select most likely the tone can be anywhere. You will be allowed to navigate to your custom location. If using an HTC sense menu then you will have to have your custom tones saved in a special custom folder. On the root of the sdcard create these 3 folders if not already there. Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications. If you download the tones from HTC Hub first it will autocreate these folders for you so you don't have to create them yourself. You can now put your custom tones in each folder.

guys i have little problem on my lg optimus 3d when someone send me a message not ring any tone .. i have select the different tone but nothing happen and my phone is not on silent other tone work prefect but message tone is not working any solution please
Try downloading a free ringtone maker from the android market (some do tones as well) and see if that works.
how did you setup the sms tone?
go to messages (eg from homescreen by clicking the message icon), press the context key, select settings, and scroll down to "Select ringtone".
also check the sound/volume settings:
main menu > sound > volume > uncheck the option "use incomming call volume for notifications" if its active, and than you'll see another bar for Notification. select the maximum and press OK. try to send an sms to yourself and see if you'll get the tone.
