Personalized Notifications for SMS,MMS,E-mail - Page 2

One thing I liked about my old phone was that the vibrate pattern could be personalized for different things. I would know if I was getting a text, a phone call, or a voicemail without having to dig the phone out of my pocket.

Since I confused everyone let me elaborate. What I meant by personalize is to use downloaded ringtones(mp3,wma etc.). You can change the ringtone for incomming calls from individual people but you cannot change the tone to a custom tone for email or MMS or SMS alerts. You have to use the default tones. I want to change this. Does this clear up the confusion?

Yes you can change these.
Goto Start/Settings/Sounds & Notifications
Then click the "Notifications" tab at the bottom.
Then select what you want to change from the drop-down menu.

This is what I mean though. If you select email, you can only select the preset tones not a downloaded ringtone.

That's because notifications aren't compatible with mp3 files. You can download a wav file and use that.

OK to further elaborate.....If you have a Touch Pro, go to Notifications, select the event that says Messaging: New email messages. No select the ringtone. If you can select something other than the default tones please explain to me how you did it. wav mp3 mp4.....nothing works for me.
