Hi ali-bb,
of course you can
Just copy your mp3 file into folder \windows\rings and you can choose it as ring tone.
BTW, normally music mp3s are very long and stereo, which wastes your storage space. So the best is to shorten your mp3 on your PC with a program like Audacity (freeware, but there are many other programs for this too) and save it as mono mp3.

MP3's as ringtones
There's an even easier way to get an MP3 ring / SMS tone using the Kaiser.
Open the MP3 in HTC Audio Manager or load it using the 'Library' selection.
Select 'Menu', 'Set as Ring tone' ... this will take you into the next menu.
Select 'Trim' and mark in and out the length of your ring tone.
Select 'OK' and then save to Ringtone folder.
'Start', 'Settings', 'Personal', Sounds and Notifications' will be where you want to set up the appropriate tones.
If you don't have 'HTC Audio Manager', you'll find the cab on the forum.
Enjoy

as far as sms alerts, with original rom you'd have to convert it to wav and put it in the windows folder.
i've seen cooked roms handle whole mp3 songs for sms/mms alerts

Even easier way:
On WM 6.5 click and hold the mp3 file in File Explorer, then select set as ringtone from the menu.
Works for me. No need to shorten file.

htc mp3 trimmer works awesome you can choose how long u want the ringtone to be, save it as default or have it saved to ringtones folder, it will show up in your list of ringtones,

or if your like me and only use custom ringtones you can go here and upload and create your own ringtones for free, no ads or hastle,

hope this has been some help

i dont think you can eliminate it from audio library but i think any music file you put into the "sounds" folder in app data will show in your ringtone list, or rename it to RT- infront of the mp3 title and put into your ringtones folder in "my documents"
thats what happens with mine, hope this helps

go to
htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-hd2/help/audio-and-ringtones

As stated above, when I had my T-mo mda, in order to get audio to work for sms, had to convert it to .wav easy enough to do tho.

SMS / text message notification sound

When I go to the settings to change the incoming text message notification there's a list of sounds to choose from (like "alert1" "alertglass" stuff like that). I tried looking through the file explorer but couldn't find this folder, I was wondering if anyone knows where it is so I can put some of my own sounds in there to use as notifications? Thanks.

all the files are in \Windows. they are system files so you will need to tell explorer to show all files so you can see them. if you want to add more sounds just drop the file into \Windows.

they have to be wav format too don't believe mp3 works

i have been able to use wma and wav file for notification.
p.s. put ringtones in \My Documents\My Ringtones\

I managed to use my own sounds in the events and messages alerts, loading them in Application Data\Sounds

Select, Copy, Paste text from text file

Just got my phone and the first thing I wanted to do was set up wifi.
Have a long wifi password so transferred a txt file to the Note using Kies.
I can click on the txt file and it opens in the default program (Polaris?)
But I can't see any way to select the specific text, copy it, then paste it in the
window that asks for wifi pw.
I can type it in by hand or use some trick but I really just want to know how to select/copy/paste text now.
Thanks

Long press on the bits you want to select. Should get a pop-up to copy. Then long press where you want to paste. Again a pop-up should appear with paste.
Try the application clipper on the Google play store. Makes managing clipboard even easier.

seems polaris office doesn't allow editing? (which is bs)
maybe this is the issue?

Attaching notes in gmail

Hello,
I was trying to attach a saved note in gmail, but could not find it. Does anybody know how to do it? When I click on attach, it shows 2 options, namely, 'attach file' and 'insert from drive'. When I tap 'attach file', there are just pictures. videos, audio and internal storage. I read via google that the notes were saved in secured folders in previous notes. Is that also the case on this phone? If so, how else can I share the files, when replying to an email?
Cheers.
Note: I did a quick search on this forum, but did not find anything. (went 2 pages deep). If the solution already exists, kindly point me to the right direction.

The only way I know how to share a Samsung note is to open the note, hit share, you'll get a dialog box to share as.. Txt, PDF, etc,...
Pick one, then select the Gmail app...

Hi Whelmar,
Thanks for answering. That works perfectly if I am sending a new email, but its if I want to reply to an email, that's where the problem comes. Maybe there is a way to save the note as a jpeg or something?

Cronus, you can easily save a note as jpeg or PDF, save it in local storage and then open any gmail and attach it as file by selecting it as local file. I use Xplore File manager and it works like a charm with it. I am attaching few screenshots to make it easy. Let me know, if it works fr you

Can't add notification tones to notification list

I'm trying to load bespoke notification tones to some of my apps. Most are working, but I can't add a sent mail tone to Outlook or some of my SMS apps. The only option I get when trying to do this is the stock notification tone list, but I can't find a way to add bespoke tones to this list.
Any solutions out there?

If you use an sd card, you can create folders named "Notifications" and "Ringtones" on sd card and put the ringtone/notification files you want to add in them. The phone will find these folders and files will show in lists of choices along with preinstalled options.
(Works on s7 anyway.)

Android can be a fickle beast sometimes, make sure you have the correct format saved in the correct folder. I usually use .ogg saved in notifications for general purpose. To test place them in in notifications/ringtones.
