Change SMS ringtone? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

quite disappointingly windows phone doesnt want to let you change sms...recently flashed Chukys rom and the dev had the sms tone changed...
was wondering was there an app/way to change sms ringtone without much bother?
Thanks

i am not sure if this is what you're looking for, but if you want to change SMS ringtone in HD2, go to settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification Sounds -> New Message and there you go. Hope this helps.

You could always navigate to Notification Settings to change your sms ringtone.
If you want a custom ringtone, place the mp3 file in 'My Ringtones' folder in your DEVICE memory, and you can select it from the same settings as above.

You can also put them in My Device/Application Data/Sounds. When you go to Sounds & Notifications they will be in the drop down menu along with the other hundred sounds I routinely delete with every ROM flash, lol.

[Q] nonsensikal v10.1 sound mystery

Been running 10.1 for about a week now and am loving it. Unfortunately, my first beef with this ROM just popped up and I'm hoping someone out there can help. When selecting a tone for a new alarm (or just setting a ring tone for that matter), I'm prompted to select from the stock system sounds. I know when I first flashed to this ROM I could select to use a set of sounds as my default and am fairly certain I chose the extended bank of sounds. Why limit yourself, right? At any rate, I went to manage applications and can't reset defaults because the button is greyed out and unselectable. The non-standard set of sounds is still in there as evidence of both my alarms going off with the sound I had been looking for and, in addition, I can still see all this "missing" tones when I open up Astro File Manager and go to /mnt/sdcard/system/media/audio. At this point, there are folders for alarms, notifications, ringtones & ui, ALL of which contain sound files...the ones I'm in search of. How can I reset this? Did a nandroid backup when sounds were still accessible and when I reflashed to the backup I was still missing the option to select these sounds. What gives? Help!!

How to edit a sound set?

I am trying to assign a new "mail" sound to a soundset but It only gives you an option to listen to it along with other notifications. Does anyone know how to edit that?
Use root explorer and drop the new files you would like to use in the appropriate folder in /system/media/audio
I wonder why I can change the ringtone and notification but not email sound? The thunderbolt is like an iPhone it doesnt allow you to change the email sound
What email app are you using? You should be able to open setting inside the app and then change it from there... as in for gmail, open gmail, menu, more, settings, select ringtone. if you copied the ringtone you want in the folder i posted above it should show up in there now.
Stock email app syncing with exchange. When I click on menu, settings, notification settings I only get checkmarks for "email notifications" Notification sounds" and Notification Vibrate"
There is no option to choose a sound.
Tried to do this last night and it took me a while. I kept looking under the email settings and Sound but couldn't find it. You have to go through Personalize:
Settings--->Personalize---> Notification Sound
From there you can change Message, Calendar and Email.
I don't use that one but i believe that it using the default notification sound. Place your file in /system/media/audio/notifications and then reboot your phone. Go into settings, notifications and you should see the new tones listed.

Ha. I had set it up when I first got the phone. I added some CM7 notifications last night and for the life of me couldn't figure out how to set them again. I kept looking in email settings and Setting->Sound thinking I was crazy.

I use K9 Mail and it lets me change the sound to what ever you want.

[Q] (?) notifications

Is there a way to set multiple notifications tones for different things text messages and a different tone for emails,ect
Go into the settings menu for any item you want to set the notification sound for. There will be a Notifications option in the settings menu for each email account, text messages, etc. where you can set the sound for each one's notification. Also, questions should go in the Atrix Q & A section.

No what he's saying is each app that you want a different sound for open it go into its settings and change it from there. Thats how you gotta do it.
Ok I get that and have tried it but I still get two text message sounds and I don't have any rims or themes only.rooted and deodexed the only text messaging app that doesn't give me double sounds is the stock app but with it im stuck with only one tone for all notifications I have tried handsent sms and go sms someone please help when I get a text it sound like a cd just skipped
use Light flow, not only does it allow you to set specific tones for apps that dont allow you to customize (words with friends), but it also allows you to change the LED notification color

Thanks I will give it a try but did figure out how fix my problem by using root explorer and renaming the conversation.apk to conversation.apk.bak which it uninstalls it but keeps it in the phone in case I wanna use it again by doing that it allows any other sms app to be the one and only choice to choose from so the end result is was no more double notifications sounds in my text messages so thanks for everyones help and I will check out that Light Flow app it sounds pretty good.
could a moderator move this to the correct section (Q&A) THANKS

for double notifications, you need to goto the stock sms app and disable notifications entirely.. (menu button > settings > untick notifications) then just enable them in the new sms app you use such as Go SMS Pro or Handsent

[Q] Unable to change default sound

Is there a way to change the default sound to something other then the pre-loaded HTC sounds? I was able to change the phone ringtone to a song on my sd card. When going to settings, phone ringtone there is a new ringtone button which let me choose whatever I want but when I go to the default sounds I do not have that option. The only option I get is, get more, which takes me to the HTC hub. I tried ringdroid and made a ringtone but it don't show up. I also installed tone picker but it doesn't show up either. Another strange thing is, I am using handcent and have a mp3 selected within handcent but when I get a text it uses the default notification instead. Anyone else having this problem?
I had similar issues. I used HTC Hub to download a new ringtone package, and found out that it just over writes everything I may have had selected.
I've had to go in and redo my ringtone and message notifications a few times, mostly after I hook it up and enable SD storage on the computer.
If I have someone call or send a text message while its hooked up as storage, it changes EVERYTHING back on mine to the stock sound settings.
Ok what i did with mine was use astro file manager to take whatever mp3s i wanted for notifications and copied and pasted them into my notifications folder which will be located in your media folder,open astro click sd card then click media then audio then notifications and paste whatever you want to hear for notifications sounds in there then when you go to your list they should show up and work like a charm.
I think I did that with a file manager and it still didn't show under Notification sounds. You need to hit set as once the desired file is highlighted and set it as a notification that way.
Use Zedge. Its a free app and you can select it as default instead of using system. Works wonders!

Menu --> Personalize --> Notification Sound
This is where you can change the default notification sound as well as the sound for the email app, the messaging app, and the calendar.
This took me awhile to figure out. A new feature of Sense 3.0. Possibly introduced in Sense 2.1. Not sure. But different than the EVO either way...

Facebook Pages Manager notification sound setting

I could have sworn that I've changed this before, but now I cannot find the setting.
I want to change the notification sound for new messages in the Facebook Pages Manager App. I cannot find where that setting is now!
Can anyone assist? Thank you!
It driving me nuts
Looking for that too! How can I change the sounds?
I figured it out! I was having the same problem. After I updated Oreo, the notifs were changed to my default notif tone, and to make matters worse, I couldn't find how to change it anymore in the Pages Manager's own settings.
Here's where the menu went:
Go to your phone's Settings > Notifications > Find Pages Manager > Click Push Notifications > Click Sound
Viola! You can now select your custom notification sound!
