Changing notification sounds?

My TyTN II has no "tick" sound when I activate a menu and "tock" sound when I select an item in the menu like other PPC phones, is this normal? I've enabled the event and program notification sounds but still I don't get those sounds.
Also I can't seem to change the other notification sounds (example the sound when the device needs you to confirm an action, when the device encounter error, etc.) by replacing the wav files in windows directory like other PPC phone. Can anyone help?

how to change waiting music

hello,
I'm trying to figure out to change the waiting music on the Diamond.
I've seen a registry key called "callwaiting" but this seems to be the sound that I hear when I have a second call.
What I want to change is the music that people hear when I put them "on hold" - I can't find any registry key, wav file, or mp3 file, on the phone which gives me a clue.
So i'm asking for your assistance ! thanks !

this is soething you cannot change. it comes through your provider I guess

Cannot Use Ringtones On WM6.1

I finally got WM6.1 installed and ran into a little issue. I tried to customize the device with my old ringtones from WM6.0.
The issue is that they do not show up in the Incoming Calls area of the ringtone section. I moved them into various FOLDERS hoping that WM6.1 would see them but this didn't work. I did notice that the ringtones were showing up in the area for RECEIVED TEXT MESSAGES and other types of the sound notifications.
How can I get the ringtones that were working perfectly fine on WM6.0 to work on the latest WM6.1?
Thanks!

Did you try putting them in the "Rings" folder. That worked for me.

I have tried the following FOLDERS without any luck:
/dev/My Documents/
/dev/My Documents/Ringtones
/dev/storage card/My Documents/
/dev/storage card/My Documents/Ringtones
/dev/Windows/Rings/
Seven ringtones (mp3) that worked perfectly on W6.0 are no longer visible as choices for the "Phone: Incoming Call" area. The only options are two WAV files I use for messages being received. However, those mp3 ringtones are visible and are options under all of the send/receive notification tone menus.
I don't get why I can't choose them as phone-call ringtones...
Any thoughts?

mine is doing the same. However, my song still rings even though it does not show being the ringer selected.

/dev/Windows/Rings/
That's where I have mine.

I had the same problem and the only solution that I found was from which ever folder you music is in just press and hold down on the song, and set as ring tone. Now your phone will ring with that song, but if you go in settings/sounds/notifications it still wont come up.

I assume you are on an AT&T Tilt? If so, I had the same problem as well. It turns out that it has something to do with the file size. There's some limit ~400k for the file for it to show on your notification lists for ringtone.
I had to chop off the end of my song, and get it to 300k and then it showed/worked just fine. I'm sure this will get fixed soon.

There's a cab that enables this function. You install it and voila all your mp3's can be set as ringtones. As soon as i find the link again Ill post it. I used it and it works great.

The Fix:
Install the .cab then move the desired MP3 File to Device\My Documents\My Ringtones and you should be able to see them in your Sounds & Notifications settings program.

Okay so I may not post it since someone beat me to it. LOL
http://mikefordmustang.com/downloads/NoRingtoneLimit.cab

I've got all mine on the root of the storage card and it works just fine - can have any size ring-tone you want...

Yo what a difference a .cab can make. I was racking my brain trying to figure out the solution to this issue. I was trying to convert .mp3 to .wma, I was downgrading the audio quality of my songs trying to get their filesize down, all with no positive results. Then I find this thread install the .cab and presto it works. To the creator and posters of this fix THANK YOU!!!!!!! You saved me from a downgrade back to 6.0. :-D

Hi,
I transferred the cab file to my xda ii, has a wm6.1 rom and it just seemed to open an html internet page with the commands in.
I see my ringtones now BUT i can't find ringtones for text.
Basically I want set my own ringtone for incoming calls and then set a differnt one for my incoming sms texts... but it just shows default when I go to look in incoming sms...
If that makes sense can someone help?
I should also mention when i extract the file it is .xml - i tried chaning the file ext to .exe or .cab but no luck... im probably being stupid but all help is appreciated,

thank you
wow, thank you

WM 6.1 registry edit for ringtone file size
I upgraded from WM 6.0 to 6.1 and now my custom ring tones that are over 500Kb do not show up in the pull down menu in order to select them for contacts. This fix is to edit the registry.
- Go into HKEY_Current User > ControlPanel > Sounds
- Delete the key of FileSizeLimit
- Done, You should now be able to set any MP3 as your ringtone.
Alan

Thanks for that .cab it was driving me insane as well not being able to have any of my old ringtones that I used for 6.0 work in 6.1 Thanks a ton!!

Thank you!!! This is just what I was looking for.
Happy Holidays!

I did not want to start a new thread for this secondary issue. I loved when my Nokia bar phone made that BEEP sound with vibration. I could hear it from a distance as it was so distinct even at low volume.
This new Windows based phones suck when it comes to rings and how they sound.
Does anyone have a very distinct beep / similar ring tone that is heard well from Tilt's loudspeakers? That would be appreciated.

New registry keys display list of ringtones.
This is my first post to these fantastic forums. I think I finally found something that merits a post.
Note: I am using WM6.1 AT&T build for Blackjack II. This may not apply here if you use a custom ROM, in which case the chefs may have already remove these keys. If not, here's how you get to see your ringtones, etc. from the Settings/Sounds menus.
In WM6.1 the registry key,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds
have 2 new keys:
AllSounds
Ringtones
Each of these keys is a collection of sound files, obviously the ones shipped with the original rom. Use a registry editor to delete both keys. The time to display the list of sounds will increase if you have many sound files.
If you have a set of custom tones, you could put this list into the registry instead and the list will display much faster.
I hope this saves someone some time and frustration.

Can you tell me how to install the NoRingtoneLimit.cab to my phone. This is new to me thk u.

MP3 as text alert?

Hi all, i have recently got an mp3 trimming program i found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4841262#post4841262 which works fine on the TD2, and i have chopped up a few mp3 tracks and put them in the ringtone folder(main memory) on my device. Now i can select one of these to use as my ringtone fine using the notifications tab in sounds but i cant seem to set a mp3 i have trimmed as an incoming text message alert. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how?

no it is not possible, you have to put your file in wma format into windows folder
edit: sorry my mistake, mp3 works in wm6.5

I set one of my trimmed mp3s as my incoming text and mms alert. I renamed as "Alert-tonename" and dropped in into my windows folder. I also put into my ringtones folder for good measure so I don't know if you need to do both. But, that is how I got one of my trimmed mp3s available as a message alert. Hope this helps.

Put it directly into your Windows folder, rings are only for rings but sounds go to Windows.

Thanks for the info guys ill take a look now
Hmm if i try and move the file on my pc via sync for some reason it does not show the windows folder i need to move it to, and i have tried several things on the device itself i.e. touching the mp3 file till i get the pop up menu, pressing cut then going to the windows folder holding the screen again but i have no option to paste :S sorry if its a simple solution i just cant seem to work it out.

Many thanks guyd i have sussed it ou, im well happy thanks
P.S. if anyone else is unsure feel free to ask here or message me and ill do my best to explain.

Hi Shambolicuk, I'd be grateful if you could explain to me how you did it.

I copied them in My Ringtones and they automatically appeared in the ringtone list

Changing ringtone and alerts to Mp3's or Wav's
This is old but I wonder if there are any fossil TD2's that are still using TD2's. Change the login sound by setting "HTC-tonename" ? Cant delete the original HTC-Quietly...wav any ideas??
Quote I copied them in My Ringtones and they automatically appeared in the ringtone list Quote
This works for ringtones but not for alarms or alerts.

ring tones are continuous

hi
is possible to have the standard ringtone not continuous because when i select the standard ring (1,2,3,4)is without pause.
my rom android is:Mdeejay FroYo Sense Matted v.1.4 [Kernel: MDJ S6.1] on hd2
thanks

anyone know this problem?

I'm struggling to understand what you mean here mate?

when phone ringing(with standard ring 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 ) the sound is continuous.
it's possible change this!

Hi!
I have the same problem... anyone knows of a solution?
Ok, to be more specific...
When you select one of the standard ringtones 1, 2, 3 or 4... normally it should ring like this: riiiing, pause, riiiing, pause, riiing, pause... etc.
Right now mine is ringing like this: riiiing riiiiing riiiing riiiing ... its really annoying sometimes
Thanks in advance!

I am also getting this.. the pause bet rings is not long enough. I m not sure if this an HTC sense or andoid fix but I managed to fix it via a workaround by editing the ringtone itself. mine is an mp3 ringtone so I downloaded a freebie software for editing mp3 and added blank or silent sound at the end just to serve as a pause.

hi
yep... sounds like a great idea, i didnt think of that, thank you very much!
Lucky i`m only using one ringtone... i`ll check to see if the standard one is .mp3

normal ring ring tone
Hi
excuse my poor english
try this its very simple and it will work the way you want
all you have to do about the ringtone is to edit it with audacity application by adding a silence space after or before the selected ringtone with the length of tow seconds then save it to you desktop then coonect your device by usb cable and send the new ringtone to your device inside a folder you created earlier in sd card named ringtone choose the new rintone from sound settings as a default ringtone
good luck
