Changing default text/email notification and alarm tones

[rothnroller]

Hi there,

I am new to this forum, having owned the Experia Z for less than a week. So far so good!

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to select tones other than the pre-installed ones for email, text messgageing and the alarm clock?

I have some cool tones form my old Atrix which i would like to use on my new phone.

Thanks!

You can put audio files in the "Notifications" folder on your phone, and they will show up when you pull up the list of choices!

thanks.:smileycool:

I've just done it and it seems to work.

can you tell me if the alarm tones can be changed? I can't find them on my phone.:smileyconfused:

[Pleco]

I do believe you can create a folder named "Alarms" and put the audio files you wish to use in there.

I tried that but it didn't work.:smileysad:

do you know here the alarm tones are stored on the xperia z, as I could just put my tones there?

[Pleco]

Try making the folder in the "audio" folder in your "media" folder. If you have that!

[rothnroller]

tried that and no joy!

Hmm... It works for me. The ones I put in the folder "alarms" folder appear at the bottom of the alarm sound picker. If not you can always click the note symbol in the upper right corner and pick a song file.

nope. its not happening for me. my tones are not appearing there.

I don't have a note symbol in my Alarms settings either. very strange.

Am I looking in the wrong place?:smileyconfused:

Hmm... Tap your clock widget. Then:

As you can see, my custom ones are visible on the list.
