Changing sms tone

once I have downloaded, how do I change my sms tone?

Settings > Sound > Text Tone.
That sets the default sound. You can also set a specific tone for each person by placing an entry containing the person's phone number in the AddressBook and specifying the tone there.
What iOS does not currently support is adding new text tones to the list provided (like you can do with ringtones). If you Google "iOS 5 text tone" you'll note several respectable news outlets have stated that custom text tones appear to be part of that.

  • IPhone 3GS SMS tones

    Will I be able to change SMS tones with the new iPhone 3GS????
    and changing it without doing anything non-apple to it. I just want to use my own mp3 tone.

    I Recommend that Apple allows one to change the SMS message alerts (Audible, Vibrate, and visual).
    I work at True Call International, who issues pagers to everyone. Recently the company I work for has implemented the company alert system to include SMS addresses of people who wish not to carry a pager and phone all the time.
    However, until Apple addresses the SMS issue, I can't see the iPhone as an approved pager replacement device.
    Does anyone know of any "Feedback or Suggestion" pages that will get to the great minds at Apple?
    Thanks,

  • Changing the SMS tone?

    Why is there not an option to change the tone of the SMS or you've got mail tone??? Will there be a download for this soon???
    Thanks

    Kody. If you have software version 1.1.1 installed, just go to Settings - Sounds - New Text Message.
    You'll find 6 tones. The volume of these tones is variable, but always the same as your ringer volume.

  • Changing the email tone (not the sms tone) IPhone 3G

    Is there any way to change the boring low sound of the (new Email) tone to be something else? switched from my Black Berry to the new 3G (love it) but hate that I cant change the tone to be something I can actually hear.

    No, currently there is no way to change anything besides the ringtone of phone calls. The only way is if you "jailbreak" the iPhone, but it is against the EULA agreement and will void the warranty on the device. Apple may or may not add this as a feature in the future, you can send them a email with the hyperlink below and hopefully they will actually listen to the user's feature requests.

  • Sms Tone just stopped working (X6)

    So all of a sudden the sms tone on my x6 stopped playing when i recieve texts.
    im using the same profile as usual, the same tone.
    ive tried to restart the phone,
    ive tried to remove the battery for a while
    i tried to change to different profiles, where all tones works as usual except the sms tone,
    ive tried different tones,
    also its an original tune and not a downloaded one so.
    and while writing i just noticed its actually messing with the blinking menubutton aswell from time to time. Any suggestions?
    i want to save the hard reset as a last resort since im guessing that will clear all stuff i have on my phone.
    thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    @jimmyireland
    how could clearing my inbox possibly be "most likely the cause" ? or well, dont even tell me, its not like i will understand anyway...
    but i gave it a try, deleted about 4000 texts in my inbox
    didnt bother with the sent folder since x6 only saves the 20 last sent.
    but surprisingly this solved my problem, im really glad that i went here b4 i made a hard reset, also i really appreciate you took your time to help me out.
    also go to /t5/Xseries/Nokia-x6-message-tone-problem/td-p/688289 found that b4 i made this thread but couldnt find a answer, not sure wether the thread is dead or not. but if ur lucky u might score one or two additional clicks on that star of yours.

  • N73 sms tone stopped working

    once again the sms tone on my N73 has stopped working AGAIN. My phone does not inform me at all that I have a new sms. Inorder to check I have to go into the messages section of the menu to check. Here is what I have tried
    - Soft reset (settings->restore factory defaults)
    - Firmware upgrade (i have the latest version now)
    - Hard resets (using some code I found)
    - Changing profile settings with different tones
    - Changing profiles all together
    With the exception of the firmware upgrade all of the above have been tried several times.
    Any more suggestions. I am sick of this phone and I am about to throw it away. How is this so hard to fixed

    Since you have did, that would normally solve the software issue if there is. It is highly provable that you got an intermittent hardware issue, a visit to Nokia Care Center would be a good idea.

  • IPhone SMS tones

    For those that have an iPhone 3G with the latest firmware/software, can you choose your own NON apple SMS/email sound?
    I'm used to this feature on all other makers (Blackberry, Nokia, sony ericson, motorola) that it bugged me so much I didn't buy a 3G iPhone earlier this year.
    Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Apple - are you listening to your customers? We want to ability to change to a non-Apple standard SMS tone. They just aren't loud enough in some environments.
    Also - who can I not make sound profiles so at 9 pm my ringers turn off on their own. And so I don't get emails all night long. Then again turn on at 7am. I need to remember each night to turn off the email and sms volume. i can not turn off the ringer because I need to get phone calls and I use the alarm feature on the phone to wake me up.

  • 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!
