Assigning ringtones text and notifications

I'm new to the Droid X and I was wondering how to assign ringtones that I've already downloaded from other apps as the ringtones for my text messages. Every time I try to put one of the songs that I've downloaded already as the ringtone for my text messaging, the only ones that show up are the default alerts that came with the phone. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Ahh, that's right. Maybe my issue is an X thing. Since I had the 32gig card, I just uploaded wav files to the phone. Perhaps the X converted them...
You know, I have a data line on my account that I hardly use since I got the X, I'm considering getting an Incredible just to play with and hopefully talk my girlfriend into using. She thinks she's too behind-the-times to use a smartphone, all the while playing with my phone constantly. I had been lusting after the Dinc until they became hard to get in June. Then the X came out and I thought "there will be plenty of them, so I'll look into it, too." Boy, that panned out well, eh?...
I should take the time to explore the audio files on the phone to see what happened to them, just a matter of making the time. I'm used to using Audacity to make ringtones, but Ringdroid definitely makes the job easier, especially if you buy music OTA.
Ahh, well, I'll figure out something this week. No shows this weekend, so there's hope...
Thanx, Great ,

  • When I plug my iphone 4s into the usb in my car, text and notifications sounds are gone.

    When I plug my iphone 4s into the usb in my car, text and notifications sounds are gone.  The phone only vibrates, no sound.  The ringer works fine, and the music plays through the stereo system just fine.  When I try to turn up the volume, the ringer shows on the screen, but it will not increase in volume.  When I unplug the usb, everything works fine.  I have tried different cords and different cars, all with the same result.  This only happens in the car, when hooked up to the usb in the house or to the computer, everything works fine.  When plugged into the car, the sound disappears.  Any ideas?

  • HT5463 Using Do Not Disturb, will my alarm sound, but silence calls, texts and notifications?

    If I use Do Not Disturb, will my alarm sound, but silence text, and calls?

    Actually Alarm will NOT sound. Tested today, by being late to work because of this. As far as I understand, the best workaround is to schedule the DND function to turn off right before the alarm.
    Then there is something wrong with your device. I've done repeated tests on a variety of devices. The alarm sounds. You have to be using the built in Clock app.
    Have you tried resetting your device? Force closing the Clock app? Have you made sure that the volume was turned up?
    Best of luck.

  • Different Ringtone Notifications for Text and Email

    I would like to assign different ringtone notifications for texting and email, and if possible, different ringtones for each of my two email accounts.  I need to see texts immediately, but not emails.  Am picking up the phone 50 times a day so I don't miss a text, critical to my work. Could do this on Bb Storm, but can't figure out on Incredible.  At a minimum, I would like to shutoff notification for email, and just get pinged for texts.  Thanks!!

    Well, 
    The default notification tone that you set in the Settings->Sound is for the default tone in the generic e-mail account and all other notifications.  If you use the Gmail client, you can set your own personal ringtone in it's settings (Menu->Settings).  In the messaging Application you can also set a custom notification sound from there as well (Menu->Settings)
    As for different e-mail accounts using the same e-mail application, I don't think that is possible with the in stock app...tho I am not totally sure I haven't use it like that before.
    Hope that helps!

  • Why can't I set my downloaded .dm ringtones as text and email notifications?

    I have an HTC Incredible 2;  I paid for and downloaded several ringtones from the Verizon store, two of which I wanted to specifically use as the text and email notification sounds.  I then had the already discussed problem of not being able to find the newly downloaded ringtones immediately, but from the postings on here and the Adriod forums, I followed the directions to set up the folders titled Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms on my sdcard, and moved the downloaded ringtones into their respective folders.  When I opened up the Personalize menu, under Sounds I was immediately able to find the ringtones I'd placed in the ringtone folder, but my phone wouldn't recognize the ringtons I'd placed in the Notifications folder.
    I downloaded the app Zedge, downloaded specific Notification sounds (.mp3, and they work).  I also downloaded .mp3 ringtones and then moved them into the Notifications folders, and THAT worked.  The problem seems to be that these are .dm files?  Is my phone unable to read .dm files as Notification sounds?  Or is there something I missed?  Something else I can do?
    I looked all over for software that will convert .dm files to .mp3, found a suggestion calling for the deletion of a couple of the lines of code from within the .dm file using Notebook ++, but that didn't work.  I don't remember seeing anywhere in the store that these ringtone files come in the protected .dm filetype; that many players will not be able to play them, and that I won't be able to use them for notification sounds?
    Ay one have any suggestions?  Verizon: am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Usually when you purchase ringtones from the Verizon store, you can only use them as ringtones. Since you have a smartphone, an app would be the best bet. You can find almost any song you're looking for in a free ringtone app, there's no need to purchase them.

  • Text and email sound notifications...........no options?

    Incredible2 is my first smart phone so maybe I'm missing something here. Can't  I customize the text and email alerts with my own sound or am I stuck with the options that are on the phone? Even with the volume turned up all the way I can't hear any alert unless the phone is out of my pocket and sitting right next to me. Any suggestions?

    You can set a custom ringtone for text messages, email, gtalk, gmail, etc. by going into each app, press the menu button and select settings.  There will be an option to change the ringtone.
    For your own custom ringtones, place the mp3 or audio files in the following on the sd card.  The "SD carddrive" is the root of the sd card or drive letter when it is plugged into the computer.
    SD carddrive:\media\audio\ringtones
    SD carddrive:\media\audio\notifications
    SD carddrive:\media\audio\alarms
    Once the files are in those folders, the phone will automatically found the files and list them in the ringtone selection list.  You might have to reboot the phone to force a rescan of the sd card.

  • Assigned Object text not displayed in Multi-Level Notification Lists (QM19)

    Hello Everyone !
    Today, i would like to share an issue I am facing in regards to Assigned objects in QM notifications.
    We are using Assigned objects functionality available in Enterprise Extension PLM, Enhancement Package 4 (EA-PLM 604), to link inspection lots to notification items. Assigned object type Inspection lot is provided in standard by SAP.
    All necessary configuration has been done and inspection lots are correctly linked. When we run Multi-level notification list (QM19) to display the details of notifications in a tree view with assigned objects, all information is coming except object text. In this case inspection lot text. The field is available in the structure but comes blank despite being filled in the lot.
    I would like to know if anyone has encountered such issue and how did you solve it.
    System info:
    EHP7 for SAP ERP 6.0
    Thank you.
    Ayoub.

    Hello Everyone !,
    After checking, looks like this is a missing code in standard SAP implementation for Assigned objects.
    This will be solved by small ABAP code.
    Thank you

  • Why am I all of a sudden getting all my text and email notifications in Spanish?  How do I change back to English?  Can't find in profile settings?!

    Why am I all of a sudden getting all my text and email notifications in Spanish?  How do I switch back to English?  I can't find that option in profile or notification settings . . .

        elliew,
    That's a great point! If all other messages and apps on your phone are in English, the preferred language may need to be updated on your account. If this is the case for any of our customers, just reach out to our customer support team at 800-922-0204 or http://vz.to/1vsIHJq .

  • My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

    My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • Receiving text and email notifications while on call

    While I'm on a call, I receive text and email notifications (by a sound and a buzz). Is there a way to shut this off, as it's annoying when there are multiple messages coming through.

    Sure; go to settings > sounds and set "new text" and "new VM" to off.
    Of course this turns them off ALL the time; your only choice ( I am sure there is a hack for this oversight out there somewhere, though)
    This is not a business class smartphone ; its an iPhone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • Nokia N97 - No Text Message Notification and a Few...

    I love my nokia n97, but i'm rapidly falling out of love with it, i have owned it since the end of august and this is the first time i have really hit a major problem with it.
    The main problem being is, that the phone no longer gives me a text message notification or noise in that it being on the home screen it does say "1 new message" and i have to constantly have my inbox open to see when i have a new message and constantly check it all the time, for a person who is texting constantly this is probably one of the most annoying problems. If it makes any odds its using the mass memory.
    I called the support line and have tried the following:
    - Upgraded the firmware (no effect)
    - Hard reset the phone (without the backed up data on it, the text message notification works, after placing data back on it, problem comes along again)
    - Cleared cache (no different)
    - Hard reset the phone and restored data on phone without the settings (this has worked for a while, less than a day, and is now playing up again)
    Along with a few other problems that have started which i am confused whether it is the actual application or my phone that is the issue with this:
    Facebook - No longer works proberly, freezes regulary, excessively slow at loading any content up.
    AccuWeather - Can never find my location through gps and sometimes unable to load data for a pre-set location.
    -At points through the day i do get error messages too that don't really make much sense, "cannot retrieve data" "error" and "internal error, reset phone"
    Also when hard resetting the phone the second time round, originally built in applications disappeared so i had to re-download them through Ovi Store again.
    Other problems include phone basically freezing regulary mainly on startup, and start up time being long before it lets me push a button, and loading content for the homescreen, the 3 widgets and the speed-dail take excessively longer than they use tooo.
    My phone is suppose to be getting 'repaired' within 48 hours, is this true? I got told by a friend that his took 2 weeks+.
    Or a replacement and how does this work and who is responsible for giving me a replacement. (Nokia, t-mobile, mobilephonesdirect?)
    Could all these problems be linked back to a faulty sim card?
    What on earth has happened to my phone, is this fixable, isit a software bug that cannot be sorted, why has this happened, why now, i have never run into any problems before?
    Is there something in the data, i can't think of anything, if so what?
    This problem started totally randomly?
    Isit somesort of weird memory issue?
    If i was to get a new phone, will i not run into the same problem again, what happens if i do? Do they keep replacing it or fixing it all the time?
    Sorry for a long post, hope someone here can help......

    N97 is going back in again today for them to confirm it is un-repairable and then they are going to send me out a new one.
    The guy said it was a software issue which was caused by t-mobile putting their own software on the phone, which is absolutely stupid, if operator's software is going to cause a phone to malfunction, then don't let it on!!!
