I can get to that option
But how can i set MUSIC as ringtones not just the stock ringtones of the phone

AFAIK this is an Android limitation. If you have been able to do this in the past it was due to the launcher that was put on there by the manufacturer. Since with the MAXX line Moto has really dialed back on Blur they may have removed this ability. So how do you accomplish what you want? You need to create a folder called RINGTONES on your SD card. Then move your ringtones there. Then reboot or dismount and remount the SD card and you can then set up the associations you want.Also on the maxx I was able to set specific ringtones for each contact, I got the same feature on the maxx hd but just using the stock ringtones and I CAN'T pick from my music on my micro sd card
LOL. You have to give some time to get an answer. Getting a response in an hour is a rare thing in many instances.Please help on Post #34
That's a function courtesy of TouchWhiz. It's a change Samsung made to Android. Let me give you another example. Moto also made a change to Blur that changes ICS. Under ICS the ringtone and the notification tone are tied together. HTC in their Sense version of ICS maintained this. I find it to be a stupid decision. Apparently Moto does too. So via Blur you can control the sounds independently. If they didn't, there are apps that enable this functionality. Oh and another way you can do what you want to do; If you use Handcent as your SMS/MMS client, when you go to select a ring tone or notification tone, it enables you to do what you want. If you don't use it maybe another application will enable that functionality. That's the beautiful thing about Android, if you need it, there is most likely an app for that (yes I just said it).I guess on the galaxy note there is not a problem of this kind
Thanks for the explanation Hes
like I said, I'm very new at this
I guess I gotta keep looking for some apps to help me on this
And definitely that's one of my favorite things about androids
There's a lot of apps to choose from
Thanks again

I had a bit of hands on time also and don't really see the big deal with the screen over my maxx(non HD). i had both on full bright and really thought there was a bit more brightness with the HD but nothing to write home about and not worth the $650 to purchase thats for sure.I'm surprised the display is getting such rave reviews. I finally got some hands-on time with this phone and the first thing I noticed was the display really seemed "off." So, I took out my Droid X, put both on full brightness, and pulled up some web pages. All in all, the Maxx HD's screen is duller, dimmer, and has a yellow tint when compared to my...uh...two-year old phone.
Everything else seemed great, but that display is enough to deter me from buying the Maxx HD and wait for something else.

McIrish2,
I, too, came over from the BB world and longed for a profile utility - such as I had with BB. What I found was "Timerific" ... which, for me, has worked flawlessly. It permits timed profiles and controls everything including notifications, sounds, wifi, bluetooth, etc. (And no, I'm not a paid sponsor. Just a very satisfied user).
Thanks, changed some of mine based on this.drtask and McIrish2: You really need to check out Smart Actions. You have to "step away" from what you know from Blackberry but Smart Actions can do a lot of really cool things. For example, when I get to work (my trigger is connecting to work wifi) my phone goes to vibrate mode and my screen off changes from my 2 minute default to a 1 minute default.
When I get home (trigger = connecting to home wifi) I have it set up to turn GPS off (don't need it at home), turn phone volume up, and change my wallpaper.
When I get in my car (trigger = bluetooth connection) my phone automatically turns ON GPS and turns OFF wifi and starts the car dock application.
I have a trigger set up so when I walk into my dentist's office my phone turns to silent.
Please check it out. You might be surprised what you can do with them.
To those of you that are working with ringtones and notifications, just an FYI that there are folders on the internal memory and you can save your files there, too. This way if you have your phone connected to your computer via USB your ringtones and notifications will still work (they won't work if you are USB connected to the computer and your sounds are on the memory card).
Well boys & girls, something happened this weekend that caused me to go get a new phone and as you can see from the signature I'm now sporting a Maxx HD. With some creative upgrade options, I was able to keep my Unlimited plan on my line. My stepson, who lost his phone over the weekend got my Maxx but he lost his unlimited data. We upgraded this on his line which changed his account then reactivated it on my line therefore not changing my line. One word, Awesome.

And more:
The email client is better. It now shows different colored icons in the notification bar so I can instantly see which of my email accounts has a new message. (I have 4)
I can now have different ring tones and the ability to have it vibrate only on some accounts and not globally
Which app is this? I am using the gmail app. I have 2 accounts and it would be nice to know which one I have a message from based on the icon color.
