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!
Right first off, I expect everyone to come in here and rage about me not reading around, yes can you have personal sms tones, drop then in the \Windows\ folder as a .wav etc etc. Thanks, but that's not what I'm after.
I'm curious as to if there is native or 3rd party support, of a program that will allow me to set different SMS tones for different people, much like the native support in the phone book/contacts for ring tones for various people.
Ideas, suggestions?
Hi,
Theres this program, i havent had much luck with it but you may have more luck than me:

hey,
I've been looking high and low for a couple weeks not, Googling the hell out of it, what I wanted to know is if there is a site where I can download the hero ring tones and notifications. I mainly want this for the text notification that was on 2 or 3 hero roms that I tried. The tone says "woooohooo I got a text" when you get a text message, If anyone knows where I can find that at I'd be very thankful.
I have figured out how to make a custom song a ringtone but i want to know how to set a custom text message ringtone everyone that i have downloaded goes straight to my regular ringtones is there a way to set the text ringtone to a custom song or something else because everything they have is annoying. someone please tell me there is a way that i am not finding
I think we have wait for the release of tango. currently you can change the ringtones when calls come in.. but for text messages, you have to use the preloaded ringtones.
Hopefully we would have the update for tango that will let us customize the ringtone messages.
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone can please explain how to set an mp3 or any other custom audio file as the notification/sms alert tone?
Also... Is it possible to set custom SMS tones for each contact (in addition to the custom ringtone)?
Thanks for any help.

There are folders already on the phone for ringtones and you can set them via settings/sound/ringtone .. They show up there, at least they show fine for me.

What file format have you had success with? Any limit to file size or track length?

I use mp3, 320 kbps and the ones I use are about 30 seconds long, I have no idea though what other formats it recognises, or lengths ... Only my own experiences
Aweome, thanks for the help AllAboutTheCore, for some reason I could not get it to work at all last night, but I just tried again now and.. success.
Thanks again.
If you make a folder called Media and inside of it you place Notifications, Ringtones, Alarms, you will keep them apart. Male sure to initialize a Media rescan or reboot to get them to show in the system picker.

Hi altimax98,
Thanks for the reply. Currently I do have those folders (Alarms, Notifications, Ringtones) but they are all in the /sdcard/ directory. If I move those 3 folders into a "Media" folder... will the phone still be able to see them?
Thanks a lot for your help.

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.
Once you've done this, the tone will show up in the ringtones and message alert tones list to choose from in the usual way (settings).
As for individual contact tones, a ringtone can be assigned from the contacts (People) address book, but not SMS tones as far as I know. There's an app, GoSMS that looks good but I haven't used it so couldn't say for sure.
Hope this helps.
