Message alert tones

Morning.
I want to define my own message alert tone. How can I do that? I've learned, it is possible to create my own ring tones. But I do not find an approach to modify the list of predefined alert »melodies« given by Apple. But all of Apple's sounds are very obtrusively. Instead of that, I want to have a very reluctant »toc-toc« or something like that. But how can I install such sound on my iPhone?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

for some reason apple absolutely refuses to give us this option... people have been submitting feedback since the iPhone was launched in 2007 and all they did this past update or two ago is add a bunch more of there own tones instead of giving us the ability

  • Trying to find a specific message alert tone.

    Hi all,
    Firstly, I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to things remotely techy lol.
    I recently had a E71 which unfortunatel was lost. I have replaced this with an N97.
    However, my favorite message alert tone on the E71, which I'm pretty sure was "message alert tone 3" is not available on the N97, and frankly, I dont like any of the tones on the N97.
    I have tried in vain to find it on the internet to download, but to no avail.
    Can anybody help please.
    Thanks.

    u can copy your messege tone from ur nokia e71 for this u must have a third party app dr.jukka´s y-browser best for u coz it´s free... then serach the ringtone directory which can b the z: drive or it can b differ depend on the phone... on my e55 the location of tones are z:\data\sounds\digital. try it on ur mobile. after finding that u can send it through ur mobile bluetooth. for this u must have installed bluetooth utility which is also free from jukka´s.

  • 8310 4.5 upgrade - no message alert tone

    Hi
    I upgraded my 8310 with the 4.5 software and ever since I have not been able to get my message alert tone to work, I have gone into profiles advanced menu and checked nothing as been changed except I dont get the tone?
    Can anyone help!
    I also had a message at the time of the upgrade informing me a fatal error had been made, but everything seems ( with the exception of above) to be working?
    Thanks

    Well that's probably your problem. It seems to me that upgrading to 4.5 is producing strange little problems for lots of people. I gather you downloaded a 4.5 from a carrier other than your own? In my opinion I would revert back to my original OS and wait for my carrier to release it. But if you don't want to wait I suggest you downgrade to the last OS from your carrier and then try the upgrade again.

  • Changing message alert tone?

    OK, I want to customise my message alert tone to a sound that I want - not one of the defaults that the phone offers. Is there anyway to do this without jail-breaking? Considering this is an integral feature that has been part of phone's that were created back in the stone age, I'd find it ludicrous that this isn't plausible with the iPhone, considering that we're now up to the fourth model it surely should have been something that's been considered.

    "OK, I want to customise my message alert tone to a sound that I want "
    Not a feature of iphone.
    Sorry.

  • Message Alert tone/ringtone stopped working?

    My iPhone's message alert tone/ringtone has stopped working. My iphone4 firmware has been upgraded
    to 5.1.1.  i've also reset the phone, but it didn't resolve the issue.  Pls. Help... thanks...

    My alerts sounds work briefly after a restart. Then at some point (can't say how much time passes with certainty) they no longer work. The volume adjustment sound is gone as well as the alert sounds such as an incoming mail message.
    A restart temporarily returns the sounds. I've zapped PRAM but that doesn't solve the problem.
    Using Mavericks

  • Message Alert Tones N96

    Is it possible to change message alerts on the N96 so that different contacts have different tones? So I know if its the girlfriend of the ex-wife. Thanks.
    Solved!

    1. You can edit your own post, that way you don´t need to post again. On the top corner of your post it says "options" there choose "edit" to edit your post.
    2. I don´t think it is possible to assign different message tones for different people...
    Then it looks like this:

  • BlackBerry 8900 Curve - Message Alert Tone

     Hi, Is there anyway I am able to change the message/email alert tone?
    At the moment the only way I get notified of new mail/sms is buy a very quiet beep and the light flashing.
    Are you able to assign a ringtone to different aspects of receiving new data?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes you can. Just go into Profiles | Advanced. Next click into the "Active" profile. In this next screen you'll be looking at the different categories in which you can modify the ringer/tone settings. So in your case for emails you would go into the "Messages" category and change the Out of Holster, Ring Tone settings.SO for example for Calendar reminders you would edit the Calendar category. For text messages you would edit the SMS Text category.

  • Text message alert- turn off or modify

    In spite of some other comments on this topic, it is not easy to find how to modify the text message alert in the E71 manual.  I have been awakened several times by amber alerts during the night.  When I tried to find how to turn off the message alert in the manual,  I could not find it.  I emailed Nokia and the following (modified a little) is what I received:
    To turn off or change text message alert tone:
    In response to your concern, we would like to inform you that you can change the message alert tone of your device.
    Please refer below for the steps:
    1. Select Menu
    2. Select Tools
    3. Select Profiles and to change the message tone
    4. Select current profile if not already selected
    5. Select Options
    5. Select Personalise
    6. Select Message alert tone (page to off or vibrate if preferred)
    Problem solved!  I hope this helps some of you having the same problem.

    I think this is what you are looking for.

  • Volume on alert tones 6500 slide

    Hi I've recently changed from a 6300 to 6500 slide and overall I'm really pleased with it. However, the volume for the message alert tones is really loud. On the 6500 it the volume is really loud and it had the added benefit of flashing. The software on the 6500 is V04.84. Anybody any idea how I can increase the message alert volume. I have the ringtone volume set at maximum and this is great.

    Somewhat embarrasing, but I figure post this so others can use it - have figured it out... open the gallery of alert tones and start playing them, then use the volume adjustment keys on the side of the phone to increase their volume while they are playing. This will then affect the volume they play at when actually selected as the alert tone.

  • Nokia 700 unexplained alert tone?

    My new Nokia 700 is randomly playing an alert tone that is not acompanied by any message.
    No Apps are open and the WLAN is turned off. The tone is the Email1 tone (NB email is not open). I have not changed the default alert tones.
    What could this be?

    First if you want some tones check out
    http://www.tehkseven.net/ringtone/mp3-ringtones.ht​ml
    And when I assign for message alert I go Settings-Profiles-General-Personalise-Message Alert Tone(tap)-then have options of Download,Tones,Songs,Video Clips,and sound clips. I select songss-Albums (coz its easier to check 'unknown' where tones end up than all songs) then just select the tone that I dragged to music file from computer after download and use it. Works for me !
    Good Luck
