OMNIA (i900) - Ringtone is corrupted

Suddently my omnia ringtone doesn't work at all.
I can't seem to set a ringtone because it states the ringtone file is corrupted or unavailable.
Do anyone have a solution for this as I don't wish to format my phone again.
Thanks,
Eric

if the ringtone is stored on the storage and you have the mass storage usb option on then it wont be able to access it properl try and make sure the ringtones are stored in device memory
this should help??

Hi Jay,
I already deleted custom ringtone located in Memory Card and in the setting/sound and notification : ringtones is original from the factory which located in device.
I read this is common problem for winmo device. I hope there is a way to solve this beside hardreset.
PS: tried soft reset many times included remove batt for 2 mins and still no luck.

I guess there is no solution for this error.
Anyway, I hard reset it and it work fine.

You have already hard reseted your phone but anyway,
this happened with me many times and always the cause is a 3rd party application that you have installed. just try to unisntall the last application you have installed and the ringtone will work agian as it used to be.
try to uninstall the application one by one and start from the last one you installed and everytime try the ringtone untill it works with you. usually no need to soft reset in order for the ringtone to work but not harm to do so.
it looks like some 3rd party play with the registry while most of them has nothing to do with music or ringtone, like last time when i installed "Button action 12" my mp3,wma and mid ringtones stopped working and the only ringtone worked were WAV. after uninstalling the application it worked perefctly.
maybe this tip would help you in the future.

[Q] mp3 decoding not working

Hi,
Just got the info from my children that mp3 decoding on their phones is not working (music player hangs).
Both have a Galaxy 3 updated with standard Android 2.2 (subversion is slightly different bcause of different phone customzations by the phone provider).
I tried different music players (stock, google music, winamp) but all causes the same effect: phone starts vibrating and the app crashes...
Of course, no troubles with any other media (video, youtube...).
Given all music apps are impacted, I suspect a problem in a system library.
I've searched in the forums, but found no mentions about my problem (strange, it is on two phones, so should be pretty common).
I'd like to stay with the stock rom, so I'd prefer either installing an app self contained (not using sytem libraries for decoding), or somehow fixing the system libraries w/o having to install a new rom.
I'd like to know if I'm the only one in this position, and if you have suggestions for a fix.
Thanks

You must do a hard reset of your phone.
Just type in *2767*3855# and your phone will restart.
Keep in mind that you will lose your data on your phone like: unsaved phone numbers, installed apps, mp3 (all are in your phone internal memory witch will get erased), those stored on you micro sd flash will not suffer any changes, so save your apps(or download them again), mp3,photos on your micro sd.
If this helps you please give me a thanks.

Hard reset done on one of the two phones, but problem is still there: mp3 player crashes (I've not yet re-installed 3rd party players, but bug is exactly the same as before the reset: mp3 starts playing few seconds, then phone vibrates and music hangs).
Rom on the two phones is JP4.
Also to note an other strange behavior: the phone shows a warning message when launching apps accessing the network (market, browser) to ask to activate mobile data connection... even when the phone is connected through wifi. This was not the case before the froyo update.
I'm not finding all this much normal...
Any further suggestion (I understand last resource is anyway installing Kyrillos rom)?
Thanks

I see. There is something you could do, and that is flashing the Rom again. Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940 to get the latest rom and flashing tools and here is the flashing tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778880, i can bet that this will fix your problem. Or you can go to a local samsung service for repair, you do have warranty?

On other forums I found the problem is not uncommon.
Songbird is not exceptional, but does not use the buggy system library and works like a charm.
I've removed the stock app icon just to avoid running it accidentally...
It's a pity not being able to share songs with google music (app is using the buggy lib)

may b sumthin wrong wid sd. backup ur sd data & format it.. via phone.. then restore backed uo data.. & then try if they give fcs anymore.. :/
btw if possible let ur children to talk wid us, they might know better their phone than u .. no disrespect but its true.. :/

[Q] Ringtones Reassigning Themselves?

Trying to determine if this is a "just me" problem or a larger problem.
I have ringtones on my SD card that I moved onto my phone when I got the Atrix 2. I am able to successfully assign the 'new' ringtones for both the default and the individual contacts. I've already set it up as indicated in this thread (which I know is for the S2, but I presumed the concept should be the same).
However, I've found that at some point later (perhaps after a restart?), some (but not all) of the ringtones have changed, usually to songs on the SD card (not necessarily to other ringtones).
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? It's not a huge deal, but it definitely throws me for a loop when say, my father calls, and it's not "his" ringtone playing on my phone.
Thanks for the feedback to anyone else who responds.

You should not have them on the phone storage, that is for apps and android only. All of your media (including ringtones) needs to stay on your SDcard, especially since the phone scans and rescans the SDcard on every boot, for things like that.
To make it work correctly for this phone, create a folder (directory) on your SDcard and call it ringtones (it must be on the root of the SDcard), that will make them show up as ringtones to select, the only time they will not work, is if you unmount the SDcard and put another one in, that does not have that layout with the files you selected as ringtones. Once you put the card back in and remount it, they should start to immediately work again.

Hi Jim:
So would the correct path for these files then be: /mnt/sd-card/media (and then either notifications/ringtones/audio?).... or /sd-card/media?
I swear that's how it was initially set up and the phone couldn't seem to find any ringtones, which is why I'd made the change as outlined above.
Thanks for your assistance.

No, the correct path is:
/sdcard/ringtones/
Your ringtone mp3 files go in there. I have never had an issue with that location on this phone, and a few other other phones that has worked flawlessly as well.

Hi Jim:
I moved the files there using root explorer, used the app "sd rescan" to rescan the card again, and rebooted my phone.
The tones now appear twice each in my ringtones option and both appear to play (which would at least imply that they're both linked to valid files). However, I had set my alarm for this morning to wake me up with a ringtone, and was instead woken up to the noise the phone makes when you first turn it on and it's scanning the card. I've also noticed that again, my contacts have different ringtones.
I've noticed that the folder appears in two places (sd-card/ringtones, and then a mnt/sd-card/ringtones has a symblink of that) ... could that be my issue?

It's not just you. The phone has storage "issues" of all kinds.
Just curious do you have Zedge installed?

I do have Zedge installed, though I've never used it for Ringtones. I've also got RingDroid installed, which is how I made these into ringtones/notification tones in the first place.

ringtones changing to default after reboot

Just been having this issue lately where my custom ringtone and notifications change to the default after a reboot or after I connect micro usb to add files to the memory card. I cant seem to find a way to fix this. Just wondering if anyone has had this issue and how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you change a ringtone,do you click apply?

Exactly the same problem i also have no council. until now. with CoreDroid 2.6 i had it not, only with v2.7 and v3.0.

I have the exact same problem, I had some custom ringtones and suddenly for no reason started switching back to default. So I finally just did a factory reset now everything's back to normal.

I may have found the issue with mine. I recently started using an app called headset droid. Once I uninstalled the app most of my issue is gone now. My ringtones and notifications no longer reset when I reboot. They do still reset if if I connect my phone via micro USB and add transfer things to my memory card. I will try resetting my phone and reflashing my rom next to see if that solves the problem completely.

Solution for rooted user but please help for non-rooted
To start off I do not have my phone rooted, although I am thinking about it lol.
My ringtones and notifications changed every time I restart my phone. What I have tried is to change the ringtones and notifications folder location. It basically started right after I received the T-Mobile update software number 1.50.531.1
sdcard(root)/notifications
sdcard(root)/ringtones
and
sdcard(root)/media/audio/notifications
sdcard(root)/media/audio/ringtones
all the above methods work in the sense that the phone recognized the ringtones but every time I restart the phone it changes the ringtone and notification back to defaults.
I have searched for a solution the closest thing I have found was located here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13413
The conclusion is to gain root access and move the ringtones and notification to the phone's internal system folder. Since I do not want to root my phone, is there a method to gain permission to move files to the system folder?
I really want to solve this problem so please let me know if there is a solution
Thanks from a noob
I fixed my issue by clearing the cache. I downloaded app called "app cache cleaner" than I cleared the rosie cache and boom it works woot

Anyone got an answer?
Is there an easy way to move ringtones/notification sounds to the phone memory without rooting?

Try adding your phone ringtone / notification sound this way
Settings-sound-phone ringtone-menu soft key-more ringtones-add ringtone
Then select the ringtone.
Also the similar way for notification sound..
This way you might not lose your custom ringtones when rebooted

That's how I assign them. I don't have the issue of losing them when rebooting, but I do have problems when I've connected my phone as a mass storage device as with the SD card unmounted (so it can be accessed by the PC) the phone can no longer see my ringtone/notification sounds.
Annoyingly downloading ringtones from HTC doesn't save them to the phone memory.

then you move it to memory...
move the required ringtones to /system/media/audio/ringtones
and similarly for notifications...use any file explorer...

Hi, I had this issue after I installed Beats.
I found that the problem was linked to /system/app/com.htc.sdm.apk
This is a soundset profile which was defaulting tones.
I deleted this file, rebooted and all was fine!
Hope this helps

Is that a solution which can be used without rooting?
I have tried to report this to HTC as a bug, but cannot find the details. There are many links on this and similar sites which all go to "Whoops we cannot find that site, please one of the below" [sic] and there is nothing below. When I tried to access support direction the only countries I could choose from were USA or Canada. Can anyone direct me to how to report this as a bug for a UK user? They shouldn't be requiring us to root just so that we don't have all our ringtones defaulted every time we connect the phone to a PC, that's about 20 times a day! Particularly important for me rather than just nigglingly annoying as I'm profoundly deaf in some frequencies, I literally cannot hear some of the ring tones, I need to input ones I can tell the phone is ringing!

It's not a HTC issue, it's a gingerbread/ics issue.
Although HTC could fix it I suppose by releasing an app that allows you to copy ringtones to the phone memory.

No, it isn't!
Tell you what.... Just S-OFF & root your phone and install a custom ROM.
Otherwise, learn to live with the crappy software that HTC release and stop moaning about it.

I feel that I need to disagree.
If it was an OS issue then every ROM on every phone would suffer from the same problem.
This problem happens for various reasons on various ROMs.
HTC replace a lot of the AOSP programs with thier own and it's less than perfect and can cause this issue - they could release a patch but they are not always speedy on the releases!
I remember someone creating a Sound profile and then deleting it - which solved their problem?!

The Galaxy Nexus also suffers from resetting ringtones etc when the SD card has been unmounted, there's a bug report a mile long with Google about it.
There should be an easy fix, ie two sound config files, one for when the SD card is present and the other for when it's not, or the set as ringtone/notification function could copy the file to the internal memory.
Why load a flakey unfinished ROM when O2 provide one that fast and trouble free?
I was hoping there'd be a way of accessing the internal memory from a PC via developer tools.

As I stated - "Various ROMs" - BUT NOT ALL - So it can't be the fault of the base AOSP but rather modifications done by Manufacurers or Providers (3 is the worst for customising)!
Not all ROMs are flakey or unfurnished and you have the options to customise them a lot more to your own personal style - Most providers add bloatware which slows the device down which a lot of people don't want (The only settings I need are for my APN)!
You can access internal memory via adb - but modifying it requires you to be rooted.
There is a fallback ringtone found within framework-res.apk which the device will use if it can't find any tones at all but no different configs for SD in/out (Nice idea though!) but copying to the internal memory would still require root!
This is where I benefit from a custom rom - If I don't like one then I choose another, or I patch the problem! (Or, more often then not, I just make my own)

Try setting up a custom sound set, what rom and mods do you have

Thing is, with O2 they don't add bloat and I'm happy with their ROM, it's fast (ICS seems much faster than GB) and stable, which I guess we're lucky in that
I've set up a new sound set and tomorrow I'll be adding vids to watch on the train into London so will see how it goes.
Interesting though how it affects a Nexus device which I always thought was bare bones Android.

[Q] Ringtone jumps back to Horizon after reboot

Hi all,
The ringtone settings of my wife Node Edge is jumping back to "Over the Horizon" after every reboot or after an incoming call.
I tried to change it to one of the other default ringtones of Samsung, but after a reboot the ringtone is set back to "Over the Horizon".
I also tried using a custom ringtone without any luck.
I removed the SD card, change the ringtone ... also without any luck
Can anyone help me to fix this issue without a factory reset?
Btw. I have the same phone and I don't have any problem with changing the ringtone on my Note Edge
Specs
Samsung Note Edge

This WILL require root so it won't work for AT&T or Verizon variants. Anyone reading this now, PLEASE remember to state your carrier when posting. This is a general Note Edge Q&A and the amount of help we can provide is EXTREMELY limited without knowing your model in many cases.
Take any files you want as a ringtone and put it in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones. Create the folder if it doesn't exist. Then go to /system/media/audio/ringtones and rename it to /system/media/audio/ringtones.bak. Reboot. It shouldn't be able to find ANY of the stock ringtones anymore so it should default to user ringtones in /sdcard/. If you don't have a good file explorer yet, get ES file explorer from the play store.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I have no root rights.

To be honest, I had no idea if that was a solution at all; just a hopeful and partially educated guess. Is rooting not an option at all? What carrier is the phone on?
I can't think of anything concrete, but some apps have been known to interfere in the past. Can you provide a list of anything installed since buying the phone?

The carrier is Vodafone (Netherlands).
She only have games apps and the google apps you can download. There is no app installed that can control sounds or other system apps.
