Nokia 6280 different alert tone

I am having problems with 6280. When I am running a java game and when I receive an incoming SMS message, the alert tone is different from the tone set in the active profile. All I can hear is a BEEP and it vibrates as well but the default is the Nokia tone. Is this the normal behavior of the phone?

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

  • Can i have different alert tones for Multiple email accounts?

    Would like to have different alert tones for each email account. Is there a way to accomplish it?

        Hi there, DawgFan1980!
    I understand the purpose of the different notification sounds. The iPhone only allows 1 tone for e-mail accounts. At this time, this cannot be changed.
    Thank you,

  • Nokia e62 - IM Alert Tone

    I have a Nokia e62 I purchased about a year ago. I recently started using Yahoo's Instant Messaging (IM) and have realized that I cannot set an alert tone for the IM in the profiles. It's not even an option. However, if I choose Help, it lists IM Alert Tone. Does anyone know how I can set this up? I talked to ATT/Cingular and they don't have a clue. I've looked on Nokia's website and cannot find software updates for the e62. HELP!
    I really hope this makes sense. Thanks.

  • E71 Different email alert tones

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to have different alert tones for different email accounts? I have three email accounts set up on my E71 but when I get an alert, I never know which account it is so I have to check all three, which is a bit annoying. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    There is a single mail alert tone in the tone settings, all accounts are therefore limited to that one choice, unfortunately.

  • Nokia 6280 problems (resetting), especially on '3'...

    As per the request of a moderator (Karim) at the end of a different thread about the Nokia 6280, I am beginning a new thread here about the Nokia 6280 and problems people are encountering with it.
    I was upgraded by my network operator '3' onto the Nokia 6280 phone, which arrived on Thursday 9th February 2006. This is a '3-branded' variant of the standard Nokia 6280, with a 3 logo on the front and back, and some 3-specific features in the software.
    The phone looks great, and there are many good things about it, but there are some very weird bugs in the software:
    - The phone often resets itself (goes black, fast restarts) when changing profiles e.g. from 'General' to 'Silent'
    - When trying to change tones, the system seems to 'hang' after which no sound is produced from the phone OS (e.g. button presses, tone noises) until a hard reset is done
    - Various other bugs (not discovered by me, but mentioned by others in the previous thread) including text messages being interrupted half-way through, PIN request not being actioned even though activated, and media player issues.
    My phone revision information is as follows:
    Nokia 6280
    V 03.36
    05-12-05
    RM-78
    (c) Nokia
    Language:
    V 03.36
    05-12-05
    RM-78
    (c) Nokia
    C
    I am wondering about the following:
    - Does this phone support firmware updating?
    - If so, will Nokia provide a standard firmware update, or as my phone is a '3-variant' will I have to rely on 3 putting out a firmware update
    - Has anybody got any suggestions of how to proceed with this - I am within my 7 day return period, so could return it, but then I'd be without a phone and I'd prefer to keep the phone and have it fixed!
    Anyone else with these issues, please join the thread, for clarity I suggest people include what network their phone is on, and the firmware revision of the phone. This can be discovered by tapping *#0000# on their phone.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I upgraded my phone from 6630 to 6280 with 3 Network, three weeks ago. This is my third phone, and it's the same problem all over. After I transfer all my contacts and pictures etc via bluetooth, I tend to have a play around getting use to the new phone and without any warning the phone would just switch off. It would never switch on again. I tried recharging and leaving it overnight, nothing. Exactly the same thing happen to phone no.2 and no.3. Always when I just finished transferring contact details and pictures. I can't get it to switch on again. I am in the process of returning the 3rd 6280. I think I wouldn't bother with it.
    I originally asked for N70, and 3 keep telling me that they don't have it in stock. The other options they have given me are Motorola V3X and LG 8330 which I'm not keen on really as I would prefer a Nokia phone.
    Is this a known fault with 6280?. I will keep pressing 3 to give me the N70 or else. I am to the point of not bothering and just keep with my 6630.
    Has anyone had the same problem?

  • Why mp3 songs can't make it as alert tones for tex...

    Hey Nokia, why is your lumia phones can't put mp3 songs as alert tones for text messages? This is a big problem on your lumia phones because we missed a lot of text messages because your built in alert tones is not enough to catch our attention when we have a incoming text messages especially in a noisy environment. All the other brands of smartphones including the dumbphones are capable of having mp3 songs as alert tones for text messeges. Please do something about this.

    That said, currently Windows Phone doe snot support customer tones for anything but ringtones. If and when this will change is unknown although we know it will not change in the coming GDR2 update.

  • How do you add alert tones?

    Ok I can add ringtones no problem although a bit dissapointed that there are so many restrictions on them have been able to use any sound file on my last 3 nokia phones with out a problem, but I'm unable to add new alert tones and cant find any info on how to do it so any help will be appreciated.

    ive found this might be worth a try
    Simply navigate to any online music:
    The Nokia Lumia 800 is a smartphone. Most smart phones let you save any music file you could find online by touching and holding your finger on it, then selecting "save." Once the music file is added to your memory card, tap-and-hold it and select "assign" from the contextual menu.
    By USB cable:
    The Nokia Lumia 800 is compatible with the "USB Mass Storage" norm. Get a USB cable (There might be one in your Nokia Lumia 800 package) and, linking your Nokia Lumia 800 to your computer should make it appear as a memory key. Open it and just drag MP3 songs or other sound or music files directly to your Nokia Lumia 800, as if it was one of your computer's folder. For the remaining steps, please refer to your Nokia Lumia 800 manual. The ringtone section should explain how to select an uploaded file as a ringtone.
    Using Bluetooth:
    The Nokia Lumia 800 is Bluetooth-enabled. Bluetooth is a wireless system which lets you connect your cell phone to other devices. If your computer is also Bluetooth-enabled, simply establish a connection between both devices and transfer your audio files from your computer to your Nokia Lumia 800.
    Simply record sound directly:
    Since your Nokia Lumia 800 features a sound recorder (also known as "voice memo"), a very simple technique involves simply placing your phone by your computer's speakers, playing whatever song, music or sound you would like as a ringtone, and recording it -- you can even use your voice, your child's voice or even your cat's "meow!" Record it with your mobile and there you go! Unless that function was specifically blocked on the Nokia Lumia 800, you should be able to navigate to the ringtones sub-menu and choose your new recording as a ringtone. Of course, the quality won't be ideal but, after all, it's free!
    Via a 3G Uploader:
    If these tricks do not work for you or if you prefer not to buy new accessories, you can always use one of the numerous free "3G Uploader" services available online. A search on Katapulco should retrieve plenty of them. 3G uploaders work as follows: Upload your own free ringtones on their web site and they will provide a temporary web address. Navigating to that URL with your Nokia Lumia 800's browser will download the free rington

  • Nokia 6280 wont pair or isync

    Ok I am trying to set up my new nokia 6280 with bluetooth and isync. When I go to bluetooth and select "Set up new device..." It says looking for device, find it then goes to "Gathering infomation about this phone.." and just hangs there.
    Normaly I would then get prompted on screen with a pair code and asked to put it into my mobile but it never gets that far.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    I'm running isync 2.2 the mobile is RM v3.65 the latest from Nokia. I should accouding to the isync page be able to do calendar and address book with the phone as I have been about to with my Nokia 6230 for over a year now.

    Thank you in advance!

    PS. I have also tryed to pair the computer from the phone and it find the mac but then says passcode but I have not set one up? HELP!
    G4 Quicksilver   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Dlink bluetooth adapter

    Okay got the answer. It turns out it's the bluetooth adapter on your mac that's causing the problem. I had a dodgy USB bluetooth dongle from Indonesia that worked fine with my old Nokia 6600 but didn't work at all with the 6280.
    But now I've plugged in a different model bluetooth dongle it works. I found the reasoning behind it here from this discussion here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=454430&tstart=15
    Apparently it's some sort of standards conflict.
    Good luck getting yours to work Raven!

  • 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.

    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...

  • Mail alert tone

    I cannot seem to figure out how to change the alert tone for mail. Is there a way? I've heard Other iPhones with different mail sounds but not sure how they did it.

    The standard iOS mail app only has two options, no sound, or the default sound. I personally use a third party app that provides push support and custom alert tones for incoming email. The app I use is PushMail.
