N95 - no text tones available

My phone is silent when a text is received. I have tried to apply a tone but all i am offered is "off" or download tones.  It used to have a choice of tones or i could apply a tone from my music.  Any ideas gratefully received.

  • ARE ADDITIONAL TEXT TONES AVAILABLE

    On Iphone 4, can other text tones be purchased from Itunes or an App, or is the phone limited to the ones already installed?

    iOS5 is an OS update... http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/
    There's been no menition of a new iPhone by Apple sowe don't know what feature it will have.

  • All text tones are available in General-Sounds. Some are missing via Contacts-Edit Contact.

    I have confirmed that this issue is also present in the iPhones in the Apple store as of 28-April-2014.  I told one of the guys in the Apple store about it and he said that the iPhones in the store have a custom version, so I asked him to check his own iPhone.  He did, and the issue is present on his phone, so it's definintely a general IOS7 iPhone issue.
    If you go to General -> Sounds -> Text Tone -> Classic, you can see all the classic text tones.
    If you go to Contacts, select a contact, select Edit -> Text Tone -> select Classic, some are missing.
    I used Choo Choo for one of my contacts while I was on IOS6 and when I switched to a new phone with IOS7 and performed a restore, their text tone changed to Tri-tone.  I tried to change it back and saw it was not availble, so I figured they had taken it out of IOS7.  Then I heard a friend's iPhone 5 on IOS 7 who had Choo Choo set up as their default.  I investigated and saw that more Classic text tones were available via General.
    Is there some logical reason why some text tones are not available for Contacts?

    Do you maybe have your contacts separated into groups? If so, perhaps you have unchecked the group that the missing contact are in.
    In the Contacts app, click the Groups button in the upper left corner. Make sure all groups have a check mark next to them.

  • Itunes ringtones and text tones not working??

    I downloaded a ring tone and a text tone, from the itunes store,and it was working great for about three weeks.  I lost charge on my phone yesterday and soon as I powered back up the default ringtones have seemed to take over even though my tones are set to the two tones I downloaded.  any answers to why? or is there a fix available? I also have the latest software update iOS 8.1.2 on my iphone6.

    Try doing a hard reboot of the iPhone
    1. hold the power and home buttons down
    2. you will see the "swipe to turn off" screen come up... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
    3. The screen will go black (turn off)... KEEP HOLDING THE BUTTONS
    4. A white Apple logo will appear on the screen, now you can release the buttons. Left the iPhone boot... should only take a couple minutes.

  • M4r will not play as a text tone

    I have created a 3 second m4r file that I would like to use as a text alert tone.
    The file plays in iTunes and I was able to transfer it to my iPhone.
    However it won't play (no sound) if I select it as a text tone, but it will play if I select it as a ringtone.
    Any idea's what I'm doing wrong.
    Cheers

    Step 1
    Tap the “Settings” icon on the home screen of your iPhone.
    Step 2
    Tap “Sounds.”
    Step 3
    Tap “Text Tone” on the list of customizable system sounds.
    Step 4
    Scroll through the list of available sounds and tap the ringtone you want to use. Ringtones you created yourself are listed under the “Custom” heading.

    Using Custom Tone as Text Tone

  • Custom text tones in iOS 5 not working

    Hey,
    I recently updated to iOS 5 as did everyone else. but when I get a tweet it doesn't play the tweet tone, all I get is tri-tone. The text tone works fine enough, but the twitter ones dont . Is that normal?
    Also, I've noticed the battery life on my phone is attrocious. Before it'd last me a day with regular use, but now it loses 25% in 45min...
    No push data is available to be used, bluetooth, wifi and all facebook notifications are off.
    Any suggestions?

    I had the same issue.  Try this:  go into iTunes, select your iPhone, go to Ringtones tab, check the Sync seclected Ringtones, deselect the ringtones that you pruchansed from iTunes Store.  Now Apply/Sync the phone.  When it's done, Go back to the Ringtones tab and select Sync all Ringtones.  Apply/Sync the phone again.  Now go to a contact and set a ringtone, you should see all the purchased ringtones.  Good luck.

  • How to use current ring tones as text tones

    can i or have to purchase new one

    I could be very wrong here, but I have only one of my custom ringtones available to select as a text tone. My guess is that they need to be under a certain length to be available as a notification tone.
    The one it is I can't remember how I came by it so I'll have to try another when I get home. It took me that long to get iOS 5 onto the phone I didn't have time to figure out the other stuff.

  • No Text Tones

    It is ridiculous that we only have 6 horrible sounding tones for if we receive a text message. We should be able to make our own custom text tones for all the money we spend on this we shouldn't have any restrictions to it whatsoever. And when I say make text tone I don't mean just ITunes bought media, I mean you should be able to take any MP3 or media file such as maybe you recording your daughter saying you have a message or a famous movie quote that you like. Same thing with regular ringtones they shouldn't be limited to ITunes bought media and only music. I hope apple fixes this in their next update, and if they don't they are proving to be just as worthless as Microsoft.

    You can make a ringtone for the iPhone with any sound file, it doesn't have to be music purchased from the iTunes store or otherwise.
    It took a little while before this was available for the iPhone, likely because it was not at the top of the priority list, and Apple had bigger fish to fry. The same likely applies to being able to add a custom sound file for received text messages.

  • What is the file extension for text tones in ios 6.0.1?

    I created a custom tone using the extension .m4r, but it only works as a ring tone, not a text tone.

    The iTunes download size is about 1.2 gigabytes.

  • Is there any way to create my own text tone?

    I love being able to make my own ringtones in garageband but I was wondering if there is anyway to make my own text tones.  That would be very nice to do.  I would assume that I can considering I can make my own ringtones.
    If anyone knows, please help. Thanks!

    Based on what wikipedia said for iOS 5 you will be able to purchase text tones. SO you will have to wait till then. Hopefully someone will release an app to create your own much like they have now.

  • Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Text tone notification

    I can't hear my text notifications come through on my phone when it's unlocked. When my screen is locked I can hear and see the text tone but if I'm playing a game on my phone or browsing the Internet or even if my screen is just open sitting there I can't hear my texts come. They don't even pop up at the top of the screen for notification or vibrate or anything. The only way I can tell if a text comes through is if I look at my message and see the red bubble with the number, or of my screen is locked. When something like this happens i can usually fix it myself but I checked every part of my settings and made sure all sounds were on and I still have the same problem. I have an iPhone 5 if that helps iOS 6.1.4. Can anyone help me with this?

    Are you sure she's only hitting the space bar once?  Ask her to type slowly and see if she gets the same result.  If she does, try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
