How To Put Ringtones To Text Messages Tone For Samsung Gravity?

I just bought the Samsung Gravity 2, and came across the same issue. I've actually found someone who knows a way around it! Check it out:

-Go to the settings menu
-personalize
-sound settings
-hit the top left button on your keypad, it says options
-edit
-go to message tab
-go down to message alert tone
-use the top left key on your keypad to once again click options
-change
-click use my alert tone
-go where you would to find your music, and choose a ringtone
-click melody for the message alert

HURRAH!

You can't set them to songs you have to use the ones they have for you

Where do you find the media files?And how do you do this?I have recorded and brought song's but can't set them for my message's?

I can't stand this stupid fone. I really want to use one of my ringtones for a message tone. This is non sense.

Well for starters you  have to have a mini sd card for your phone.
All I did was got to myxer.com find the song you want and save it to your pc because it wont sent it right to your phone ITS STUPID. But anyways after you save it to your pc put your card into the slot on the pc when it opens drag the ringtone in the music folder. Put the sd card in your phone go to menu fun & Apps  files music  and it should be in there hit options and set as ringtone and thats it.
Hopefully it works for you guys. I have a problem with setting a song for a message it wont let me do that. And also it wont let me send tone messages it will only let you bluetooth it which it don't make since.

Go to the message then After the song plays hit the More Option scroll down to Save Attachment Save it. Then go to your menu Scroll over 1 Then to Music Player Then the More Option Again then Set As Ringtone and there you have it.  I have a Gravity-T Not sure if it will work for the others Sorry.            Hope this Helped. Good luck.

You can go to settings: Sound profiles and then click the >> button by Normal.  Then select the drop down menu where it says Call and change it to Message then select Message alert tone.  Next select Sounds from the bottom center of the screen and you can find your ringtone in there (you may have to hit the curvy up arrow to get to the ringtone file).  The issue I have is that you cannot set different ringtones for different contacts for the text message ringtones. It really sucks!

I Have a samsung gravity T and all you have to do ti set it as a message ringtone it go to the media box/ music player pick out wich ringtone you want it to be and go to options then go to set as message tone and wala there the messsage tone.

I just got the phone and was having the same problem. I went to T-mobile and asked. I was told that you can't get custom tones for text. You can only use the 4 the have pre loaded. :(

Untrue.  You have to go into your media files, find the tone you want to use for texts, click options, select set as, then select message tone

This is s annoying! Help! I NEED to do this! I can't stand to hear another preset melody!

For Samsung Gravity 3 Press Menu --> Media --> Music and highlight the file you want to set as the alert tone. Press Options --> Set as --> Message tone. Enjoy

This phone sucks had it since summer it freezes on me you can't hear the other person on the phone the scree mess up ! It sucks don't buy it
