Cannot change Notification tone

[Swipermusic]

Hi Jen I had this problem. Go into messages (sms) menu - settings - scroll to the very bottom of list. Select ringtone - voila!

Thanks! Okay...Dumb question. Where's the SMS menu?? LOL I just have "notification ringtones" and in both there are no menus to pull up.

Okay so I've gone through all of the following steps that you guys posted up. I can't even manage to change the notification tone to one of the stock ones, it's just stuck on the whistle one. I tried using zedge to change them as well but to no avail. I'm getting pretty frustrated with this thanks for any and all help.

Doesn't Settings/Sound/Notification ringtone work?

Another option is to open the Music Player, go to the song list, hold your finger on the filename and select 'set' and so on...

Sorry should have said. Go into your sms as though you are going to type a new text message. Press left soft key and that will bring up settings. Then scroll to the very bottom and change your tone there. Its the only way my phone will change it. Let me know if you are still stuck.

Setting Ringtones and Notifications

There are numerous ways to set tones for Calls, Notifications, Texts, Emails etc.

Using any File Manager app go to the main directory and locate the 'Media' folder and then inside locate the 'Audio' folder.
In the Audio folder should be 3 more folders called Ringtones, Alarms and Notifications:
/Media/Audio/Ringtones **Calls**
/Media/Audio/Alarms **?Wakey?**
/Media/Audio/Notifications **SMS, emails or alerts for individual apps**
You can put your relevant mp3 files in the relevant folders. Long presssing the mp3 file in most apps will bring up the copy/paste/rename options.

You should now be able to see the files in Sound Settings Menu of the phone or relevant apps.

You can also use most audio player apps to set an mp3 for Calls, Contacts, messages etc.

Let me borrow this thread. Same issue, but I have placed the file in the supposed place but it still does not turn up in the list. And yes, it is the right format.

What supposed place? what directory structure have you used? Please be a bit more descriptive in your problem.

What size is the MP3? does the MP3 you want as the notification tone also appear in the Music app and does it playback?
