Ringtone & message tone lost after reboot

Hi all,
I found a few other people with this issue but no definitive answer on how to fix it.
Just got the ICS update from Orange and all is well (after having to do a factory reset as messages wouldn't load) apart from ringtones.
If I set my own tones for email and txt and ringtones it will work, but any kind of reboot will set it back to default, and it also seems to be if the phone has slept for a long time it will lose the ringtones.
All tones are in either '/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones(notifications or alarms)'
or they are in '/sdcard/ringtones(notifications or alarms)'
These have always worked on previous android versions.
Now, I find what seems to cause this is the SD card not syncing correctly, it is mounted and if I unmount/re-mount it, sometimes the tones will come back.
If I go to 'personalise->sound' The tones say;-
ringtone = quietly brilliant
notification = zeta
alarm = new day
But if I click on the sound set itself it tells me that all my personalised tones are selected.
This is getting very annoying as I will have my ringtone for a few hours, then all of a sudden it jumps back to whatever it fancies.
Is there a known bug or a fix for this, it's only been since the update to ICS.
Thanks for reading and hopefully I have described the issue enough to make sense.
Darren

It's a known issue. I push all of my custom ringtones to its respective directory in /system/media/...
Simple work around.

Ok, thanks.
I kinda knew it would be the answer but wanted to check I wasn't the only one with the problem.
Do you know if this is an ICS issue or is it a sensation issue?
Darren

I think it's an issue with the restarting "media" service

There have been guesses for both, but I believe it happens in the senseless roms as well...

You can also add ring tones and notifications by
Settings- sound- phone ring tone - menu soft key- more ringtone - New ringtone
This way you won't lose ringtones when rebooted. You can also add alarms and notifications the similar way

Thanks for all the answers, I will give them all a go.
With regards to putting the files directly on the phone do I need root access (im not near a pc until later) as I don't really root my devices since them seem pretty stable nowadays.
Thanks

Yes, you would need root access.

ok, thanks to all
I have written an email to HTC to explain the issues and ask when they will fix the problems.
I know Android is still classed as 'a bit geeky' in terms of OS but now it is used on so many devices we shouldn't need to root our phones to change the ringtone, it's almost as bad as an iPhone
If I hear anything back from HTC I will post in this thread.
Darren

I wondered if there had been any update on this? I have tried various Android 4.1 and 4.2,2 roms and it always happens after a reboot (currently CM10.1). I have even tried converting the ringtone to OGG format, placing it the \system\audio\ringtones folder (on phone) and fixing the permissions but that did not work!
I'm (obviously) rooted with an HTC Desire HD. Thanks!

Flickering/autobrightness/brightness issue roms

I have been looking around tried many roms but none prevailed. I am looking for a Nexus S rom that doesn't have one that problem.
I can't flash CM9 roms cause when I turn my phone on I get an error in french and it's a known issue.
So other than CM9 roms does anyone has an answer for me please !!
Other than stock rom I have that problem with all of them. Don't feel like having stock rom cause I wish to have inverted apps, HSDPA tweaks that's why stock is not an option !!!
Thanks a million !!!

maybe I'm missing something here, but why not just disable auto brightness?
sent from my ns4g via the app

Thank you for your question.
I don't want to have to audjust the brightness everytime I need to change it. I prefer the system do it easier than exiting my app going in settings adjusting the brightness then go back to the app I was using.
But I found the answer finally thanks

PowerAmp and SKY-ICS 4.2 Dragon

Hey guys, I've got a problem, and I'd ask it in the dev thread for this ROM, but seeing as I'm just a newb, I'm not allowed to post there. I've done some light searching around the forum and haven't found an answer, but if I happened to miss it, please forgive me for my newbishness.
Let me preface this by saying hot dang, I am SO glad that I flashed my Skyrocket with SKY-ICS. I've been running stock for half a year and after tasting SKY-ICS, I'll NEVER go back. I've seen that Seanz has worked up a great reputation with this SKY-ICS and now I can see why!
Anyways, my problem is that whenever I'm running PowerAmp and I put my screen to sleep, it stops playing music. When I turn my screen back on, I can quickly see up top that PowerAmp just gets activated again, like putting my phone to sleep caused it to terminate the application. I'm guessing this could be a design in the actual SKY-ICS, as in maybe it forces my phone into deep sleep when I press the power button? The only thing that confuses me on that is that Spotify will run perfectly even when my phone is "asleep."
Is anyone else having this problem? Or at least does anybody have any suggestions as to what I could do to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help guys!

Check your Settings in Poweramp.

Thanks for the reply, but I did already check on that, and I enabled "Use Wakelock," but that didn't seem to fix the problem... Any other suggestions?

Not sure. I'm running aokp and have no problems with poweramp. Maybe it's rom-related, i'm not too sure. I'll poke around and see if I can think of anything else.
Edit: Wondering if it's maybe due to whatever was stripped from the rom itself. Have you tried the regular safe base? If not, maybe you should make a nandroid and give it a shot if you're willing.

I may give that a shot whenever I get a little bit of time this weekend. I kind of figured it would be something that was stripped or something, but I couldn't ask it in the dev thread. Upon some more in-depth searching in the official thread (I discovered this handy search bar labeled "Search Thread"! Who knew?) I was able to come across a temporary solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28593163&postcount=114
But like I said, I'll probably troubleshoot it by trying out the other flavor, but this is a temporary solution that oughta work... If I find anything else out, I'll be sure to update this thread. Thanks for your willingness to help out a newb, btm fdr!

I just tested this and have the same problem. It's always worked on past SKY ICS Roms. This will be a HUGE inconvenience for me since I listen to music while riding my motorcycle. As soon as the screen goes off, PowerAmp stops playing.
I'll post it in the "SKY ICS AT&T Official" thread.

It's running fine for me on the dragon. Wakelock is unchecked.

I saw this thread in the Skyrocket General section, and then tested myself and realize I am experiencing the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770780
I'm currently running:
4.2F6 R2 Rom (not speed dragon)
Update 1.7
UCLF6 modded kernel
Issue/symptom:
When playing music in PowerAmp, music stops playing as soon as screen shuts off. Music resumes when screen awakens. EDIT: music doesn't resume automatically.... I have to manually restart it in the PowerAmp player. I am double checking all settings in PowerAmp...
This is a major inconvenience since I listen to music while riding my motorcycle.
I haven't experienced this issue on previous SKY ICS. It worked perfectly on the "SKY ICS Rogers official release". All PowerAmp settings are the same from previous ROM versions (restored from Titanium Backup)
Thanks in advance!

I uninstalled/reinstalled PowerAmp, left the default settings, and it resolved the problem.
I went through each setting individually and confirmed that if I check:
Settings > Lock Screen > Enable Lock Screen
If that is checked, it breaks. If that is unchecked PowerAmp plays while screen is off.
This is a new "issue" on this Rom.
I also don't have the lock screen power amp controls. *shrug* I can live without that.

Thanks for posting the issue in the official thread. I agree, I can do without the controls if I must (as I only discovered them a few weeks ago,) but they really are handy to have. I'll keep an eye on the official thread for answers too.

The process is probably being turned off in setting on power amp theres a box to keep service on when screen is shut off,SKY ICS is a very awsome ROM though I was on it for some time

I tried turning that "keep service on" on/off eariler today while troubleshooting. That had no affect. Like I previously posted, the setting that "breaks" it is the "Enable Lock Screen" in the PowerAmp Lock Screen Settings.
I also tested it with different lock screens (AOSP, Stock TW Launcher Lock Screen, etc...)
This wasn't an issue on the "Rogers" (AT&T Safe) release. This just started happening since I flashed tot he new "AT&T Official" release. I've been using SKY Roms on the SkyRocket since December, and this is the first time it's had this symptom.

I too have only had the problem when setting the poweramp lockscreen not the ics lockscreen that is the only way i can change my music on lock. If i hit enable poweramp lockscreen i get a fc. I havent had the problem of music stopping when i lock my screen, then again i bought my poweramp on the offical site and thats where you can download both the app and the key. So maybe download the app from the site? Has anyone had a probelm with the playlists? I would make a playlist and have like 60 or so songs and every now and then they disappear? Sometimes it just goes to 0 songs but the playlist is still there. I export/import my playlists now to another location but i havent had the time to explore this situation.

[Q] notifcations won't vibrate, any fix?

I recently just flashed the embryo 5.4 rom and its a great but the only problem is I can't make the notifcations vibrate for anything. I've made sure the vibrate function is enabled everywhere ( under the settings, messaging app, etc) the intensity is all the way up and still nothing. I also have the vibrate on screen tap funtion on and that doesn't seem to work either. I've flahsed this over twice already, no reboots fix it. I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? I've searched around on here and the web but no answers

Not sure if this ROM has profiles, but I had a similar problem with CM9 a while back. Turns out I had enabled a nighttime profile by accident, and everything was set as normal, except I had vibrate disabled for notifications. Once I disabled and deleted all those profiles, everything was back to normal.

Ive been having the same issue with only SMS notifications. All others will sound/vibe normally.
Flash 5.0 base = working vibe on sms
Update 5.4= no vibe on sms
Any possible solution? Md5 checks OK.

systemUI FC loop
flashed this rom yesterday. almost everything was fine till mid night. when i woke up phone was off. turned on the device and found systemUI FC loop. i am tired of this. going back to stock. is there any ROM out there without this any issue which ran at least 1 week. please let me know.

incoming call display problem
i have been using this rom since the begining and its the best available for moto g (xt1033). i have only faced one issue and that is ; upon an incoming call, the phone rings and vibrates as it should timely, but the display remains black for around 8-10 seconds and then the contact info pops up. i have tried multiple setting changes but the problem is still there. hope any body knows the answer to it.

sim not detected
it is unable to detect sim on my moto g dual (xt1033)

Make a backup of your current ROM. Try. And if something going bad, return with the backup. [emoji41]
I'm going to install this version on multirom.

I think 10.3 don't have good battery backup..if they include battery saver mode it will be great.

Incoming call not displayed
Installed and found this issue.
the erased everything and installed fresh just to see that the problem persists on a fresh install as well.
I like the ROM and have found a usable solution to keep it but would prefer to have it working as it should.
I read a lot that this is a common problem on Original Nexus 5 phones, so maybe it is ported together with the ROM.
When screen is on and incoming call is made the melody is playing, phone is vibrating (if set to do so) and in the notification bar is a notice of incoming call. if pulled down there is an option to answer or deny the call in the notification drawer.
When screen is off and incoming call is made after ca 1-2 seconds of melody playing dialer screen appears with number or contact name and option to answer or decline the call. As it normally should be.
After trying many setting changes the closest to usable solution i have come is to enable Heads Up.
If you want to try that you need to follow this route: Setings > Notification Drawer > Heads Up. I set it to ON and it shows incoming call in a pop up when the screen is on. when the screen is OFF the incoming call appears as normal.
my phone is moto g 16gb with dual sim.
---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------
And another issue that i have come across in a fresh install is that Android File transfer on my macbook does not detect my Moto G when Developer options and Android debuggin (in developer options) is set to off.
Even the phone displays a notification that it is connected as a media device and in usb connectin settings i can switch between media device and camera. When i selct camera mode my mac detects the phone and opens camera/gallery window. as soon i change that to media device it disconnects
With stock rom it connected every time i plugged it in.
Am i missing somethin or is there a bug or that is the way it should be in this ROM ??

!! but you will loose double-tap to wake (also known as D2W or DT2W) and swype to wake (S2W) features

The pocket mode problem persists. It detects fine when the phone is taken out of the pocket but when put back the screen remains as it is. Anyway this ROM is the beat for motog ,so I can work with the faulty pocket mode.

Dark theme like aosp
Hello,
I love dark themes. Any chance to add the dark theme in your build as aosp roms on this rom. I would not change this rom but I would like to have the option to change it to black theme, or do you know of any other alternative?
Thank you
