notification sound driving me crazing - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

i don't know how it happened but i deleted my facebook pop notification sound. and i wanted it back. thus i got a replacement and placed it into my notifications folder on the sd and of course when i go to select it in settings, it freezes and thus requires a force close. thus i was wondering if anyone knows how i could put into the sound into the notifications folder of the phone (not the sd card) to see if that helps. Not with root explorer, cause i don't wanna buy it for this one dumb task. I was hoping to do it with terminal emulator, if someone could give me the commands. ...
also recommend a good music player cause mine keeps crashing. thanks.

If this was the app from the market you could try uninstalling and reinstalling and see if that fixes the problem

[Q] App icon problem

I just found this forum and am hoping to find some help. I just switched from an iPhone to the Inspire and so far am loving it except for one small issue. Some of the apps I downloaded will have the icon reset from the one installed to the stock android app icon. This only seems to happen when they are in folders. I can reset them by going into the app menu and dragging the original back into the folder and then deleting the one that was set to stock. It's not a deal breaker problem but it is irritating. I check the forums for a solution and couldn't find one. Anyone have any ideas? Oh, this is on a stock phone, no root or hacks have been tried. Thanks in advance
I had this same problem (icons resetting to stock green and white android icons, but only when they are in folders) after doing a battery pull. And it seems like there has to be a way to restore the "app-specific" icons without having to re-drag them to folders etc. Interested to see if there is a more efficient solution.
Mine seems to do it after I unplug it from being mounted to my comp or sometimes after a reboot. I also hope for a quicker solution.
I have one other thing I think is odd. On all of the pictures I see of other peoples Inspire home screen the App/Phone/Personalize dock is radiused. Mine is very square. Is this normal or is mine just odd?
Nobody else has this problem or any information?
I have had this problem after installing/deleting apps. I just long press the power key and hit restart and that seems to fix it.

I found that choosing a different skin also brings back the icons. This isn't a serious problem but it is irritating. Anyone know why this happens?
Ive had this happen on my dell when using launcher pro when i had the apps hidden in the app draw. I had to open prefs in launcher pro and restart launcher pro to get them fixed, after every reboot or updated apps it seemed to happen

[Q] Notifications & Voice call ringstone options won't open, I get an error.

Long story short I needed a new ringtone for my phone because it was giving someone I live with a health problem. I was using the defaulted US Cellular chime.
So I downloaded some ringtones and put them on my phone via USB and my PC. I put them in the folder media/audio/notifications. Both were MP3 formats.
I go to change my ringtone in Settings/Sound Settings/Notification ringtone and I picked the MP3 from the folder. The sound was too loud so I change the volume in the Volume setting "Notification volume". And it sounds fine.
Now I go to set a new Voice Call ringtone - my phone vibrates a little bit, goes black for a few seconds, then vibrates twice and brings up an error message...
"The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I hit Force Close, and it takes me back to my app window page.
I go back to try and change it back, and now I get the same vibrations and error message when I try to open my Notification ringtone settings.
So now I can't change anything in those settings anymore, I get nothing but errors.
Things I've tried...
Fully rebooted. nothing.
Erasing the MP3s that "supposedly" caused this mess. nothing
I don't have my phone rooted or any crazy stuff like that, it's plain bare bones. This is the first time I've tried loading sounds on my phone, I've always used stock sounds that came with the phone.
Is there a way to fix this, do I need to go back to a stock format to fix it?
Worse possible time to get this to happen on a holiday weekend.
I would greatly appreciate any help that is needed to help with this issue. Thank you in advanced.
What version are u one. Ie ee19, ec10? Can find this is settings,about phone
Tap-a-Talked from my Mesmerize
I'd reccomend just using zedge or a program similar to find a more acceptable ringtone not that what you did shouldn't work. Also may want to either try going into settings, manage applications clearing the data in the system app you were using, or use the 3 button method to boot into recovery if all else fails and do a factory reset.

That was a issue with the ec10 build if I'm not mistaken. That's why I was curious. But I do agree. Zedge is freakin awesome.

Thanks so much for the Zedge app. I can't believe they had the ringtones, and notifications on there.
Now I don't have to factor reset my phone.
Thanks you very much!

Pulse

Hey everyone, I was using the Pulse app and had the widget for a few days. The other day my phone kinda froze and rebooted. When it came back on the widget was no longer there. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but now there is no widget option... Was this some sort of update and they got rid of the widget for now or is something going wrong here? Happen to anyone else? Thanks!
This happened to me when I did not move the Pulse app from the SD card to the phone. That should be all that you need to do. You may need to now reinstall the app if it can no longer be found on your phone. Make sure to reboot your phone after moving the Pulse app to the phone from the SD card.
(Settings, Applications, Manage applications, On SD card, click the Pulse app, click the Move to phone button, reboot the phone.)

[Q] Power AMP-program has stopped working

Welcome. I have a little problem with the power amp. I follow the instructions as if everything is activated and is ok, but when you run the power amp-and erase me "Application PowerAMP (com.maxmpz.audioplayer process) has been unexpectedly stopped. Try again "
I tried a couple unlockerów, a pair of power amps and still got the same error. Do you have any ideas what could have happened? Until recently, acted normally. Regards
reinstalling and rebooting usually fixes lots of weird problems
I try it, still not resolved
Try clearing cache and app data
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
still don't work...
Does the problem occur when you start the app, when starting a title, or at another point?
And just as an experiment: If you have a task killer or task manager running, disable it.
Yes, when it starts. I turn off my task killer and nothing change. I don't have any ideas what happend;/ few days ago power amp has work normally
Any changes on the SD card? New partitions, music directories, songs added or removed?
Same problem when you start the app directly or via the widget?
P.S.: Do other music players work?
hmmm I can't run it so, I can't choose directory, so I can't try open music from widget. I have got also player pro and it works still good. Do you thing, format SD card can resolved my problems?
Did you try Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/PowerAMP and select "Clear data" ...

poweramp full version freezing phone

anyone else having issues with poweramp? works great for a couple weeks, then nothing seems to make it better. i end up flashing a different rom and the problem goes away for a couple weeks. currently running a ported rom. doesnt matter whether i'm on froyo unrooted/stock, rooted, gb port, or gb official release.. cant seem to figure this one out. i've always restored app only, never restore app data. and i have tried removing and installing a fresh version straight from the market..
when this happens it sounds like a cd skipping and the ENTIRE PHONE freezes. it can happen with the screen on while using the phone or with the screen off playing music through the headphone jack. i've tried different voltage settings and profiles, thinking that maybe im UV too much.(but the phone doesnt freeze any other time) when this happens the ONLY way to fix is to pull battery. none of the buttons work, capacitive or external, and the touch screen is completely unresponsive. this is driving me crazy. last night i tried clearing app data and it made no difference. this does not happen with ANY other apps.
ANY IDEAS?!
Did you try emailing the dev?
I've been running PowerAmp with Voodoo on Emancipation for awhile now without any problems. Have you tried any other music player to see if you get the same problem?
Sent from my Blue Emancipated Infuse using XDA
i have not used any other music apps, but i can tell you that this is the ONLY app that crashes the phone. the only thing i didnt like about gb custom roms was that my sms app(chomp sms) wouldn't sent messages sometimes at all, and the stock sms app was intermittent.. ported roms were better for me. and everything force closes on froyo.
Anyone else have issues where poweramp won't see the tags for several songs resulting in them not showing up whenever i go to the library? Some of the albums are missing songs and some entire albums don't show. I can see them without issue in other music players and I can see them in power amp if i browse by folder but they don't show up in library.
Never mind, found them under unknown artist and just manually changed them.
