Ringtone & Notifications

Aloupha · #1 (**permalink**) 07-23-2010, 09:04 AM

I have a few ringtones from my Touch Pro I'd like to use but I am not sure where to place them on the phone. I have placed them on my SD card but the phone is not picking them up.

Additionally, I cannot find where to set the notification sound for text message, voicemail, miss call, email, etc... Is this cannot be done on the EVO?

Make a the following folders media>audio>ringtones>notifications>alarms and make the the folders are all inside one another and put your media files in the alarms folder and you will be able to select them for all three.

As far as text message tones, what ever notification tone you have selected will be used to your texting tone as well. If you wanted you could use ringo to assign your ringtones for things like text messaging and what not.

From the SD card?

Yup from the sd card and after all you media files are on, reboot and they should show up.

You should be able to set a txt msg notification by launching txt messaging app then click menu/settings

the correct folder layout is as follows

media -
audio -
ringtones - notifications (2 seperate folders)

thats all you need

Something strange is happening. My phone rebooting and getting stuck at the HTC Evo 4G white screen. I don't think creating one folder would cause this.

Edit: Nevermind, after removing my headphone (strange), it boot up with no problem.

Boo Boo, after ringtones-->notifications---> do I need to create the alarm folder as well?

Ok, I went with ringtones-->notifications--> and was able to set the tone for my text message (thanks MrDSL).

Now my only problem is that my sounds are not being recognized for my incoming calls.

as boo boo stated in the media>audio folder create 2 folders. one called ringtones, one called notifications.

so you have this:
media>audio>ringtones
media>audio>notifications

i also have these for some reason lol:
media>alarms
media>alerts
