Help With Custom Ring Tones For Text and E-mail Alerts Please.

I've managed to add my personal ring tones and they are working great for phone calls. I went into the Sounds and Notifications and under Notifications I went to "Messaging: New text message" and Messaging: New e-mail message" checked the box for play sound and put my custom ring tone in. Under the Sounds tab I have the "Programs" box checked and the sub-box "Notifications (alarms, reminders) checked as well. But when I get a text message I get no sound, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I had the EXACT same problem! I wasn't getting any notification of texts other then they would pop up on the screen. I finally had to set the tone back to one of the defaults and it works. Wierd.

I guess you can't use MP3's for text and email alerts 😢

If you notice under the factory sounds any notification is much smaller than a ringtone obviously. You have to treat this situation like a regular phone. Cut a section of your mp3. I would say 5 to 8 seconds. Not exactly sure on exact length but this does work. Good Luck!

I had the same problem when I selected MP3 format for text, email, and reminder alerts... basically anything not a ringtone. However, when I converted the sounds to WAV files, it works like a charm.

Now, given that WAV files are much larger than MP3 files, you should probably select a very brief sound, limited to a few seconds or less.

Solution: use WAV files for any non-ringtones and MP3 files for ringtones.
