LOL. It amused me for about a day also.

i love the droid sound, but i made a custom one. it sounds like soundwave from the transformers cartoon saying

"R7 has received an incoming notification."

i have it so he says the names of people that call me the most. it sounds kick ass. but for some reason, R7 doesnt recognize my custom sounds anymore : (

thats why i joined...looking for a solution.

cheers

mike

ps. named my droid "R7" as a tribute to R2D2 and 7 costanza.

I remember thinking those sounds were really cool. I went and shortened it up a bit to use as an alert. cause 15 secs is more like a ringtone. Hope someone likes it. I do.

I downloaded a Star Trek sound board on the market, and saved the 'Hail' sound as a notification.

I also put on the Vigil/Superintendant incoming message sound from Halo3 ODST.

I use one of those 2 for all notifications.

johnnybirdman · November 18th, 2009, 10:12 AM

I use the Droid sound for gmail.
Being a classical fan I use Hal 9000 for my exchange email.

mick4394 · November 18th, 2009, 10:16 AM

No way, man. The Droid noise was the first thing I got rid of when I started up my phone. Once was enough for me.

Your right. I was using mine as the ringtone, props for making a great alert!

I'm using the original Cylon "By your command" for emails and such, and the Kim Possible beeps for text messages.

DavidE · January 16th, 2010, 12:15 PM

I love the Droid sound for my texts and notifications. My ringtone is the opening of Stranglehold

gentlefury · January 16th, 2010, 01:50 PM

changed it the day I got the phone. Gotta say tho, I'm really impressed with the number of decent sounding ringtones it comes with. Radiation is really funny, since it sounds like a GSM phone sitting next to a speaker. Clever.

bigape · January 16th, 2010, 02:36 PM

Love this sound. I use it for all notifications. Every contact has a different song as their ringtone. Unknown callers get The Tubes "Talk to ya Later". Not super original but I'm easily amused

qgqlewis · January 16th, 2010, 03:05 PM

i use the droid sound. just wish there was a copy of it that sounded more like the commercial that says droid. there is a difference.

istolvampire · January 16th, 2010, 04:18 PM

I found a site that translates words into R2D2's voice so I use one R2D2 saying email messages and one that says Motorola Droid. My other sound is R2D2 screaming.lol I just get a kick out of it. Droid on a Droid! See what I did there? lol

Bramsy · January 16th, 2010, 04:19 PM

i use the DROOOOOOID voice BUT it says "MESSAGE"

i loooooooooooove the voice!

Droid_Message.zip

Jus4me · February 8th, 2010, 04:46 PM

I want a different sound then DROOID when I have incoming msg, how do I change that with something I find funny

phobic · February 8th, 2010, 05:24 PM

I've had the DROID sound ever since the phone came out for texts but I started geting tired of it so I changed it to what the Palm Pre Plus uses for notifications. I only had the Pre for a day but I got something useful out of it at least.

Hola91 · February 8th, 2010, 05:39 PM

i have been using the "droid" sound since day one for all notifications. At work it hasn't gotten to the point that when it goes off, everyone around me starts saying "droid" in their best voice. Still pretty comical. Now most of them have bought the droid.

Gunner · February 8th, 2010, 07:49 PM

Here you go...

inssane · February 8th, 2010, 08:02 PM

I have one in a DROID type voice that says "message" - very cool
Got it off Malibo ringtones app.

Jus4me · February 8th, 2010, 08:21 PM

Thank U Gunner...I've changed it. I'm a Happy Camper now.

I love that tone - the deep part at the very beginning and then later would be awesome if substituted by the DROID sound. Listen to it, it's already kinda close.

Jus4me · February 8th, 2010, 09:27 PM

I have the Drunk Baby sound on my incoming msg now....it's 2 funny 2 me when it goes off. I got it from ZEDGE.

Jus4me · February 8th, 2010, 09:29 PM

Now I'm thinking of Panda or GDE for my cell...what U guys think? I've also heard of Open House. Which is worth it...better?

ccousinsjr · February 8th, 2010, 09:45 PM

I use "Pizzzicato"

I too, find the "droooid" really annoying.

For my notifications I use a quacking duck for txts, and a horse whinny for emails.

For ringtones, my wife gets Steve Winwoods' "Valerie," 'cause that's her name. Work gets Frank Zappa's "I'm the slime (coming out of your teevee set)" because I work at a tv station. And most everyone else gets Men Without Hats "who can it be now."

PetiePal · February 9th, 2010, 08:40 AM

I love it. My friends all repeat it DROIIIIIIIIIIIIID bc they think it's so cool lol. My coworker in the cube next to me does it now too. Anytime my phone rings he imitates the Crank dying ringtone too which is pretty funny.

I keep the Droid sound for basic SMS/MMS. I use the Lost computer beep (1x) for my incoming Gmail. I have a U2 Electrical Storm intro clip I use for Facebook notifications. I actually want to set up a few more specialized.

There's no way to make a specialized voicemail alert sound is there?

That's the one I use - pretty phat

MisterEff · February 9th, 2010, 11:38 AM

I just use it for text messages.

IamReady · February 9th, 2010, 11:46 AM

I still have it as default... but everything else is customized, so it really is only for the initialize of the SD card.

Roxygirllaca · February 14th, 2010, 05:02 PM

NO WAY that sound creaps me out!!! The first night I got the phone I was all alone in the house and I got a text... ***looked around the room creaped out*** first thought was that needs to go NOW!

ultra50 · February 14th, 2010, 05:12 PM

I,m still using it and it sounds cool for emails.

KidFlash · February 14th, 2010, 05:57 PM

I use it for text messages. I love that noise! First time my friend heard it, she jumped because she thought it would start transforming and attack her.

altimax98 · February 14th, 2010, 06:48 PM

Droid is my email and general notification... K-9 uses it. Handcent uses a transporter & 'captain we have a imcoming message' from startrek

SoldierBoy936 · February 14th, 2010, 07:54 PM

It got annoying after the first day...

Xyrenn · February 14th, 2010, 09:14 PM

I use this one personally. Droid voice, but says "Braiiins" instead. It makes me chuckle.

Jus4me · February 15th, 2010, 01:07 AM

Once I figured out how to change the tone for my incoming msg to something I desired it was a done deal..........Droooid was outta there, lol

gfweb · February 15th, 2010, 01:28 AM

I love the DROOID. My son hates it. Reasons enough. LOL

xjestersdeadx · February 15th, 2010, 02:58 AM

After I got bored with the Droid sound I went old school and use the sound "Hello Moto" which is clipped from the original Hello Moto ringtone.

PetiePal · February 15th, 2010, 07:23 AM

Drrrrrrrrrrroidddddddddddddddddd

SAM WITWICKY · March 30th, 2010, 08:11 AM

Awesome sound effects, dudes, thanks for providing them!

Source · March 30th, 2010, 09:10 AM

i def still used it. I love seeing people in public places do a quick head turn. plus ive been lazy with ringtones since ive got the phone

screamster · March 30th, 2010, 09:16 AM

DRRRROOOOIIIIIIIDDDDDD!

Can't beat that sound.. Makes all the iPhone fanboys cringe.

cggorman · March 30th, 2010, 09:46 AM

I generally stick with old school "ding ding" type sounds. simple, short, and office-safe.

bemenaker · March 30th, 2010, 10:28 AM

It's my txt notification sound still.

SinfulDragon · March 30th, 2010, 10:37 AM

I still have it set for a lot of different notifications, I love it!! My kids come running up to me "Dad, your phone said DDDRRRROOOOOOIIIIIIDDDDD"

3devious · March 30th, 2010, 11:12 AM

I let it say "Droooiiiid" if my husband texts because he has a Droid. My normal ringtone is the "Banana Phone" song and when my husband calls, it plays the ringtone from that Geico commercial "Ringda ding ding DONG!" It's so funny, I don't mind if the people at work look at me when it goes off.

droidftw · March 30th, 2010, 12:25 PM

My mom says u got droided and I saay mom its called a txt
