Setting Text Message Ringtone?
 

Hello i have a Sprint HTC TOuch Pro, i tried different roms and didnt seem to like them so i relocked my phone and went back to the factory ROM. Anyways, my question is how do you set txt message ring tone? I have my sound files in /windows/sounds also in my documents/my ringtones and also under /Sounds. Also have it setup up under Sounds & Notifications, but My rintone does not work still!! ](*,) I also believe my phone calls ringtone is set and also will not work either and i did the hold down the ringtone and clicked set as ringtone.

Text message ringtone need to be in just the windows folder then you can choose individual tones for each contact by editing the contact and choosing the ringtone.

there is no way of just setting a ring tone for text messages for just any caller?

u want a song to play when u get a txt? put the files in /windows... goto sound/notifications>notifcations>use drop down>New Message>pick your song from the ringtone drop down....there ya go

tried that and it still gives me the default sound when i receive a text message. ](*,)

Also file needs to be a .WAV and not an Mp3 or any other sound file format.. That's for ur txt messages!

I'm on VZW and this is something I wanted to know as well. Is there a way to setup a text message alert custom for someone in my address book?

For example, I have an entry called "Dispatch" that's for my 911 Dispatch text messages. I want to set a custom text tone for just that address book entry, I see I can set a "ring tone" but will that affect text messages as well?

Thanks,

u all do understand that if u set a song to play on a txt msg, it will play a decent protion of the file right? youll have to crop it down alot... and if your on the phone when a txt comes in,the song is going to play in your ear and u can silence it

Re: Setting Text Message Ringtone?
 

I'm not looking to have a song play, I just need one entry for practical purposes to play something different...

I'm not looking to be a kid playing stupid songs when I get a text message, I want to differentiate between 9/11 dispatch messages and texts from friends, fiance, etc..

thanks,

This answers your question.
it was stated above.

Convert whatever file you want to play into a .wav file and put it into your windows directory, problem solved.

you cant set an individual ring tone for each contact, at least not with whats on the vzn tp. there is a program out there that claims to do it but i dont remember what it was or if it really worked.

Re: Setting Text Message Ringtone?
 

ringo is one of them that allows you to do so.

if you go into the contact details you can.
go to your contacts, then click a name, go to edit, and then there's a assign ringtone option. you can't do it through the manilla(touchflo3d) contacts page, you have to do it through the default one from microsoft.

gotcha. thought i tried it once and it didnt work. may give it another try.

Re: Setting Text Message Ringtone?
 

Do u know if there is a way to back up those settings? I asked because thisis something i would like to do but i flash my tp a lot and would love to have a way to backup or easily restore it (using SASHIMI)

Re: Setting Text Message Ringtone?
 

I'm looking to set TEXT MESSAGE tones, NOT ring tones!

that cab allows custom tones for text. i must have had an older version that didnt work.

Dashwire claims to backup settings and ringtones. I personally haven't used it for that purpose yet, but I have set up an account and it is pretty nice. I'm sure it will come in handy once I start flashing :-D
