Hope I'm posting the right forum -I didn't see any trouble-shooting here.
This is darn strange. There are several possible causes.
After some research in these forums, I recently edited the registry and loaded some cool stuff for my T-mobile Wing: S2U2, Homescreen PlusPlus, Icontact, Nitrogen (media player), .netCF 3.5, a few games, and such. But no ROM flashes or what I would consider major hacks...
In the process, I got SCREWED the first time I used activesync (ERASED all contacts + appointments on my phone without asking). Apparently this is the default for activesync. Wow -that's a whole other thread.
Fortunately, I had backed up my contacts to the SIM, so I manually restored them.
Eventually I go resetting ringtones for my contacts (a mix of .mid's and .mp3's), and while shuffling through them, midi's just stop playing. The files are still shown, but no sound when you select them...? (mp3's still work fine)
Now here's the fun part --I can *still* play .mid files in Windows Media Player...
ANY clues here?
I know on my PC, there is a separate volume control for midi... Is there a way to check the midi drivers in Windows?

Looks like several others have had this problem.
Looking deeper into the forums I found this link to add midi support for BA wm6...

Tried out the cab file on my phone -no help...
-still no solution

Strange fix for me...
After looking at *elementary* kind of intructions for "how do you set up ringtones on your storage card," I tried going through these one more time...
I navigated to storagecard/mydocuments/myringtones and held the pointer on a .mid file for 3 seconds -the menu comes up all in English except for where it should say "set as ringtone" it says something in a foreign language (German I think -hard to tell with abbreviations)... I click that option, and it returns (in english) with the result that the .mid file was set as my ringtone.
I exit file explorer and go to settings/phone to see if the ringtone is set. The .mid file is indeed set, and when I click play -IT PLAYED...
So then I tried setting .mid ringtones for individual contacts, and all was back to normal... Everything works again...
Conclusion: it must have been something I installed, vice a registry edit which caused the temporary loss of midi ringtones...
Found the cause
After a Hard Reset (due to other problems) I replicated the loss of midi ringtones...
The culprit was Icontact -if you install while there are already outlook contacts on your phone (seems fine to have contacts on SIM card). Not sure why this interrupts midi ringtone functionality...
Correct install order should go:
1 Backup contacts (I used PPCPIMBackup --works great)
2 Delete all contacts (hard reset did this for me)
3 Install Icontact
4 Restore contacts
5 Midi ringtones should still work
6 Side note --it looks like Icontact takes care of the problem with SIM contacts and outlook contacts being displayed together in outlook, so no need to do the registry edit ordinarily used to solve that problem...

In looking at the apps recommendations, I notice people really like Ringdroid. I can't get it to work.
It loads fine, sees the MP3s on my SD card, saves the new ringtone file to the appropriate folder, and then assigns the new ringtone to the contact of my choosing. But when they call, the phone uses my default ringtone.
I've tried it several times now, including deleting and reloading the app, with the same result. Since the initial process seems to work without a problem, it seems like I'm missing something simple, a checkbox somewhere.
I've emailed ringdroid support without any response other than an automatic response to check the FAQ. The FAQ does not address my issue.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue? Not having assigned ringtones is the last thing I miss from WM. I've looked at other ringtone apps that want you to download the MP3s, but they never have the songs I want and the songs are already on my SD card anyway.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks, OKMD
Ok I've loaded some ringtone files and notifications on to my SD card currently in
/mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Now my ringtone I've set as default plays when the phone rings as does my notification for txt(Sms) messages.
But if I try to assign a ringtone to a user it reverts back to default.
Ps I've just tried picking one of the other defaults and it does the same thing, so I don't it the location of my files that's the issue.
Anyone else able to set individual ringtones for people??
Don't put the files there. Make new folders on the sd card for Ringtones/Notifications/Alarms & put your files in whichever folder you want the sound to be
The files appear in the lists ok and as I said I can pick them for default ringtone and messaging.
The problem is that I can not assign an individual ringtone to a specific person regardless of its one of my own or one of the inbuilt ones.
try taking out of the folder you put them in & making folders like I suggested & then try it & report your findings.
Nope no difference. I still can not assign any alternative ringtone to an individual.
I can see the list and select anything, it plays and then soon as I hit ok, it goes back to the contact details and shows as default.
hmm that's odd. I don't know what to tell you. If someone else doesn't come up with a solution you may want to try a hard reset
have you rebooted since moving the files? Just a though.

Yep a soft rest was the first thing I did.
No biggie for now I'll keep digging around and see if I can figure it out, if not hard rest.
cheers guys
my custom ringtones are in a folder called "media" on the root of my sd card. with four folders inside notifications, ui, ringtones, and alarms. I have a separate default ringtone for calls then I have multiple contacts with different ringtones and my text app and gmail app both have separate ringtones. I have had no issues...
Use your Music app v3.0.211... to do it !
It has a colored note as an icon.
There any way to get new ringtones and notifications without root, tried with root explorer but obviously did not want to root my S7
Apk or other solution to get the ringtones and notifications in the media folder
Thank you for any help
You should be able to copy them there via a computer, it is what I did earlier today.
Ringtones & Notifications have folders setup already, just the same as alerts/alarms too, although I have seen some apps can not use some locations - generally ringtones and say sms notice is fine.
I solved
I created a folder named ringtones on external sd card and put my ringtones ... Rebbot my phone et voila, no need root to do this
so simple
Thanks
It's better to put those folders on internal storage than an external SD. Prior versions of Android, at least, would sometimes lose track of sounds stored on external storage and revert to the default sounds.
Hi to all... There must be a bug with contacts ringtones because today was the second time in 2 weeks that with no reason all my associated ringtones to 200 contacts was lost and return to default ringtone.
That happens to me with C636B180 & C432B170 Firmware.
I had put the contacts to internal sd card in "ringtones" folder and I haven't use external memory card
The bad thing also is that emui doesn't support contacts group ringtone, so every time I will have to set 200 contacts from the start...
This was the main reason why I was rooting all of my phones so to transfer ringtones to system folder and never be lost

I also have seen this issue with notification sounds set in Google messenger or other apps that use sounds. They don't stick..

Were they mp3 or ogg sound files?

I've converted my mp3 to ogg.. Will see if that helps. System sound files are ogg type...

OK, since I changed all mp3s to ogg type files I haven't had any sound association lose its place. It's been sticking so far.
