from my experience you cannot set your sms tone from the storage card unless you do some sort of registry edit.
you need to copy the tone from your card and paste in
My Device\My Documents
works for me.
tks alot, i can change my sms tone now

does anyone have any program to convert mp3s to where u can use them as text alerts. i have a wing if it matters. Thanks in advance
I have the MP3's I want to use as ringtones in the main folder of my SD card and then the Wing automatically sees it and I just add it. Stock ROM, nothing different.
ya i can use them as ring tones for calls but not as incoming text messages
I have found that you can use mp3s as Text Message alerts if they are placed in the storage card\my documents folder rather than the storage card\my documents\my ringtones folder
I still have not been able to use them as alarm sounds without putting them as wav files in the main Windows folder which I don't care to do. But for system alert sounds, this seems to work
that worked thank u very much
Dont know why but i always put the wanted track in windows. not to smart huh? thanks for the easy fix!

i also have this problem
so more NO SMS tones just blinking at round buttons
now i have found out all sms tones are located in "\Windows\" folder and alle ringtones are located in the "\My Documents\Rings\" how can i change these to folders to my "Internal Storage" ?, do any one have any idears? then please share with the rest of us .
just copy the ringtones in internal storage/my documents.
1.you''ll save precious memery on the device.
2.you'll never have to wait for /windows to load (lots of manilla files) if you want to delete/change one of them.
3.after a hard reset or flash you'll still have all of them ready to use!
btw, i am writing this for the third time so...search before u start a new thread!
Thank you verry mutch, that location can that be changed in the registry ? to something like "\Internal Storage\My Documents\Tones\" is that posible ?
Hey all,
I have had an Xperia for about 6 months now and one thing that i have been unable to do is set a custom text tone. For some reason it will only let me select from the default tones. I would be grateful if somebody could guide me to a way round this so i can set my own text tone.
Cheers in advance for any help offered.

Where is your mp3 song? it must be in the root directory of the SD Card or inside Xperia "My documents" folder.
Then you should be able to select it on settings --> personal --> phone
ive wanted a custom text tone aswel but without luck as yet
try out with wav files rather then mp3 ones
not sure if it support mp3 for old basic pda functions such
as notifications it may only be for ring tones it support mp3

No, it does support mp3 for notifications. I currently have an mp3 for new sms.
it does support mp3 tones.
For text tones you have to put it into the Windows directory folder.
For call tones you have to put it into the My Documents>My ringtones folder.
where is the windows folder you have to put it into? sorry im new to all this
open your file explorer.. go up until u are at My Device. there you can see windows folder, open it and paste the mp3s or audio file(s) that you want them to appear in the text tone setting..
lol cheers that was well easy

Ringtones and notifications go in the media/audio/ringtone or notification folder.
after you transfer the tones to your sdcard ,restart your phone , then open the app you want a tone for press menu->>settings->>ringtone/notification ..

SMS tone is set within the messaging app itself.
Open messages, select settings>notifications where you can set what you like.

If your phone is rooted copy the custom tone to the System/Media/Audio/Notifications folder.
If not rooted see if you have a Ringtones folder on your sdcard and if so copy the tone there and see if it then appears in the notifications list.
Either way may require a reboot before it appears.

If it's a song, can you do it from the Music player by selecting Set as ringtone in settings?
Go to the song you like in music player and press settings and "set as ringtone"

well thats the phone ringtone i'm talking about the text message one not the one that i play when somebody calls me. I want the one that play's when i recieve a text message
Create a folder called "Notifications" in the same place your Ringtones folder is on your internal SD card. That should take care of it.

This sent me round in circles for a while but there's a really simple solution.
Creating an appropriate Notifications folder as suggested elsewhere is a good idea, then find the mp3 (for example if you've added it to the phone) in ES File Explorer, open the file you'd like (with the ES audio player), then tap the options button (3 dots along the title bar), and from there you can "Set ringtone" - you can choose to set it as ringtone (calls), notification (messages) or alarm.

You could go to play store and download Ringo or Ringo pro.
You can customise a ring tone and a notification tone for every person in your phone book.

Constantly ring and vibrate your phone when SMS is received
The walk-around is to make the phone constantly ring and vibrate when an important message is received. I developed an app
that can ring the phone, like a normal phone call, when an important contact messages you.
Try it out to see if it works for you: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textcall.app
Hey, my phone wasn't able to that as well but since I have a rooted phone, I can do pretty much everything that my phone doesn't handle and if you have a rooted phone you will be able to do this. Just install Root Explorer (if you don't find it in the play store just search on Google: Root Explorer apk) and download it. Now go to right section that says Storage and go to the directory where your mp3 ringtone file is. Copy or cut it and now go to System/media/audio/notifications and just paste it there! With the normal File Manager that it's in your phone won't work, so rooted phones really help!
