In the Messaging app, click menu, settings, scroll down to bottom of menu. Click on Select ringtone. What options do you have?

I have:

Complete action using:

Android System
ES File Explorer (which I installed from Market)


I then choose ES File Explorer, and browse to the location where I saved the .mp3 file - media/audio/notifications - I realized once I used ES File Explorer, that I didn't need to place the .mp3 in that particular folder - I think you can browse to any location on the phone and it will use the ringtone.

If you only have the Android System option, download a file manager such as ES File Explorer, because when I chose the Android System option, the file I copied to the /media/audio/notifications folder was not in the ringtone list.

Hope this helps.
 
I am a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Y and it stopped beeping when new text messages arrive.
I've tried every setting and even tried a reset factory settings. Nothing helped.
So I wrote an app to do this. Mind you, I did it mostly to solve my own problem.
It's free, there's no GUI and no ads.
If anyone is interested I uploaded it to Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...falk.falconsms
