Hello, this is the first android phone that I've had this problem on. I want to set an .mp3 song as a text message alert.. I've tried moving the songs into the notifications folder when I connect it to my computer and they still don't show up. Am I missing something?
you can either use ringdroid to create a ringtone from a song, or you can go into the settings and go to Select Ringtone, choose Select Music. find the song and choose it. no need to move songs around.
I work for Verizon.. I know how to set a ringtone. This is not the same set of instructions for setting a ringtone for a Text Message Alert. But thank you.
Whether you work for Verizon or not, is of no concern...we are just trying to help...
Allow me to try to help if I can...
Using the stock text messaging app, do the following and see if it works...
1) Open the text messaging app...
2) Click the Hard Menu button on the bottom left of the phone(4 squares)
3) Select "Messaging Settings"
4) Scroll down to Text Messaging Settings
5) Select "Select Ringtone" and click the ringtone you want to use.
Now, if you do this and do not see the particular ringtone you want, you need to make sure it is in the "
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications" folder on your SD card. To make sure of this, you can plug your phone in via USB, making sure you are in Mass Storage mode, and copying the ringtone to that folder...then go back and redo steps 1-5....
Try that and see if it works and let us know....
