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.html
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

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?

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.

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.
Solved!

As a new user to the forum you might want to read the forum guidelines as they will provide you with some basics on using the reqources here such as this;
1. Search before you post. If you are looking for an answer to a specific question, there’s a good chance that it has already been posted. First try a search using likely keywords. You can search from the whole forum (select "Community") or from within a certain area (select "Board").
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
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

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.
downoad from here

How to disable email alert tone on E71

I've just upgraded the firmware on my E71 and now I'm going through the process of setting everything up again. I've reinstalled Nokia email and it retrieves ok from gmail. However I cannot turn off the email alert tone in the General profile.
If I go into Tones there is no 'Off' or 'Silent' option for the email alert. I'm sure there was with the old firmware. It used to give a brief vibrate but no sound which suited me fine.
I suppose I could select the Silent profile as this does have a 'Off' option for the email alert. It seems a bit of a kludge though. Am I missing something? This is driving me nuts.

I got this option back by restoring the backup.

N73 ME setting an MP3 file for sms alert tone

how can we set an mp3 or mid or other music format for sms alert tone?
Nokia N79 4GB

Put your MP3s, MIDI files, etc., in \Nokia\Sounds\Digital in phone memory or \Sounds\Digital on a memory card (or the microdrive on the N91).
If that fails, go to the file manager, select the mp3 file and under options select 'set as ring tone'

Unwanted Alert Tones - 920

How do you turn off the 'unwanted' tone alert which sounds many times a day and there is no info or message to look at. I have turned off all 'Play a sound for' in ringtones section except New text and New Email. This unwanted alert tone not only annoys me, but anyone else standing near to me.
I was told that when the Nokia upate 8.0.10 is released, it would remedy this - WRONG, I have updated today and it still bleeps at me!!!!
This is really important and I would be so grateful for anyones help here.

Agreed. It's probably something like Skype, a twitter client or a facebook app giving you toast notifications.

Iphone 4 Alerts Tones Not Working / Ringer Is WORKING KINDLY REPLY ME

HI , PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT I AM GETTING PLEASE HELP
MY ISSUE IS IPHONE 4 ALERTS TONES NOT WORKING AND CALL RINGER IS WORKING.. PLEASE HELP ME!

If the iPhone came from the US then it is locked to AT&T. To unlock an iPhone the original carrier is the only one who can unlock the iPhone and AT&T will not unlock iPhones. So there is not official way to unlock the iPhone 4.
At this point there is no way to hack the iPhone 4 running 4.2.1 to unlock it either so the phone and messaging apps will never work. You basically have an iPod touch.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Alert tone variety

Is there a way to set separate alert tones to differentiate between email/text and mere app notifications.......?

Only ringtones can be changed.
SMS (text) can be changed to built in options.

HT1848 I purchased alert tones in itunes and updated my itunes. Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchased those items, it says I already purchased them. Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone?

I purchased many alert tones in itunes and then updated my itunes. Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchase those items, itunes says I already purchased them. Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone without having to repurchase???? This is so frustrating! Please Help!

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Is there a way to change the alert tone for the find my iphone app?

Is there a way to change the alert tone for the find my iphone app? The one they use from the factory is terrible! I tried it out and could hardly hear it from 5 feet away!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, so far as I am aware you cannot change this tone. I must admit I don't fully understand your problem, I've tried it myself and can hear it from some distance away.
