How to set your own incoming sms sound on the Kaiser?
I looked everywhere and there's no such option.
It really bugs me because the preset sound is short and hard to hear in noisy places.
Anybody knows how to do it?
you didnt look everywhere and it does exist!
start|settings|Sounds and Notifications|Notifications
everything you will want is in that dropdown box and another for the sounds
You got me there
All that I can say is that this is my first PDA and I'm still trying to get a hang of it.
Thanks a million

Hi all.
How can I assigne a ringtone to incoming SMS or MMS? Right now my kaiser does nothing when I receive a SMS/MMS. The amber led blinks and that's it..
I tried PhoneAlarm, but it seems I can't get it to work. I assigne a ringtone to new SMS, but when I receive one, it does nothing..
Is there another app to manage profiles, besides phonealarm (and free)?
Thanks!!
Settings/Sounds and Notifications
guess i didn't serach enough
Thanks..
I'm a real noob reagarding both PPC and forums.. Guess I should serach a bit more.. Sorry for that..
Anyway I would still like to get a free profile manager..
Thanks
This must seem like a really stupid question(it even does to me) but I've had my tilt for 3 weeks and I can't seem to find where to turn on a notification for text messages. All I get when a text comes in is the screen lights up, no sound. And the ringer is set to loud. Will someone tell me how to activate this?

Mate i don't have my kaiser now but i am using another wm6 phone.
Go settings-sounds and notifications-notifications tab and try to find on events drop down menu about new text message notifications. Hope this was helpful.
Is there any way to change the sound that plays? I don't like any of the included WM sounds and was hoping to use a custom ringtone like I did on my old Sanyo flip, but I've moved them to the ringtones folder and they only show up for voice calls, not for messages.

Put the text tones you want in the windows directory and voila!
All,
I have searched up and down using google and this forum, and all I have found is people with similar problems but no answers to these questions below:
1. Ring tones for contacts saved to the phone are easy, as is setting a single .mp3 to play for SMS messages, but all I really want is my default ring tones for contacts to play when they send me SMS messages. I know Ringo does this, but it crops my ring tones down. I don't want this. I want the full 3-8 minute song to play for a given contact whenever they send me an SMS message.
2. Why won't my current SMS ring tone stop playing on opening of a notification? No matter what it is, a stock 10 second clip or a 8 minute .mp3, it plays completely whether I have opened the phone or not. The equivalent of this would be you getting a call, answering the call, and as you are talking, your main ring tone is still playing. I don't know if this has to do with windows media player, which I have replaced with the audio manager, which is much better, but it is a huge hassle for the sms message ringer not stop once you've opened and are replying to an sms notification. I don't want to have to have my text messages just vibrate or have no sound at all. I want the whole .mp3 to play the ring tone for the specific contact unless I read or dismiss the notification.
I have looked into Ringo, Phonealarm, and Mobiedit, and none does want I want. Ringo crops my SMS alerts, but plays full .mp3s for incoming calls...It should be the other way around. Mobiedit wouldn't recognize any of my .mp3s. Phonealarm has a lot of nice features, but what I want is very specific.
Any registry hacks for this? Any cabs for this?
I want to thank you in advance for your answers and for all the wonderful information, tips & tricks, and downloads you offer.
Thank you,
Brian

Can anyone point me in the direction of another resource then?
PhoneAlarm WILL do this. You just have to set it up.
Really? Then I couldn't figure this out. Is there a difference between the trial version and the full version?
Thank you for your help and I will report back to see if I can get it to work.
phonealarm does indeed allow you to shut off the notification once you either dismiss or reply to it. I don't know if it is worth 30 bucks. Is there a way to get an 'answer on open' like function for sms?
It does not however, allow me to use my contacts ringers for their incoming text messages. Is there a registry tweak out there I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
ok, i have used search and skimmed through 14 pages of results and i don't know what has happened but i can't get any notifications for sms. i still get vibrations and rings from phone calls but i get nothing from sms. i have checked the settings, sounds and notifications, etc tab. i have downloaded and installed schaps advancedconfig and it didn't help. i haven't changed anything before this. i have a stock rom/radio. i haven't installed any new programs or changed any settings in forever and as of today i can't get a vibrate to save my life.
please help if you can.
thanks in advance

I had a problem just like this, i believe. It was because i had set the SMS notification sound as an MP3, i think if it's set as something that's not a default tone. After a while i would get no sound for SMS notifications. i couldn't find anyone else with the problem, and the only fix I've found is to just set it back to a defualt tone. Then you should get the sound back, and vibrate too.
I am having the same problem. Haven't found a solution yet.
i wish that would help but i have never changed the notification sound. it is still set to the AT&T default. :'-(

i know you have said you havent changed settings however have you disabled threaded sms?
I like the original poster are running the stock rom which is not wm 6.1, so no threaded sms.
haven't disabled threaded, haven't changed the notification, haven't installed new proggies, havent changed any settings what-so-ever. i got my phone where i liked it around 2 months ago and i haven't changed anything since. and this started happenning yesterday. :'-(
your'e not alone
*bump*
How can this happen to only a handful of phones? There has to be more people with this problem.
check sounds and notifications and sounds tab and make sure BOTH of the first check boxes are checked. i disabled events once thinking it was just the bleep sound from windows and turns out it includes messageing but not phone rings. I was in the same situation for months stumped on this lol
still checked..... :'-( i want my notifications back. lol
can somebody please tell me how can I send DTMF tones during a call? I searched in everywhere, but couldn't find any clear answers. do I need to install another application?
thanks for ur answers guys..
(HTC Diamond, wm6.1)
as i understand dtmf is enabled by default. i use it all the time with my phonebank.
yes it is enabled in my phone too, but there is no option to send DTMF tones. I am not talking about hearing those tones while dialling a number. what I mean is I made a phone call and connected, and then I want to send a number from my contacts. this is very practical when using the calling cards.
thanks
Press the keypad soft key(left) to bring the phone keypad.
I know it's not "hearing" the tones, as I said I use them to get access to my bank via the phone and that naturally involves quite a few numbers to be received by the other end. And this is carried out rather silently. Unfortunatly I haven't seen a "send number with DTMF" option. Maybe you indeed have to get an extra app to get that to work. The only place i've ever seen an option to even choose DTMF being enabled whatsoever is in schap's advanced config. I can vaguely recall such an option on an old Nokia pone. Sorry though for not being able to help.
ok, thanks for your comments. I appreciate if anyone lets us know if finds such a program.
I use DTMF tones to navigate in my voicemail and everything works fine here.
