HI
need some help here, somehow my phone is not detecting any mp3 under system/media/audio/ringtones or notification
i use to do this in order to have any ringtone but now it's not showing up, is there any way to do it???
thanks
make folder "ringtones" in root of sdcard(internal) and put ringtones. Restart phone and you will see your songs.
I see most but not the one I want :S it's weird making my changes.
testing yours atm
flashed fw again, and then moved the ringtone I wanted, worked as I wanted, also your way it's ok but can't use it for sms
thanks

Hi All, I've noticed that a few times my TC has stopped playing alerts for SMS & Emails. I've gone into the "alerts & notifications" page, and when I select the SMS or Email drop down and hit the play button, it still doesn't work. (Standard phone call ringer still works though)
As soon as I change the choice of alert, and back again, it starts working again.
Any idea what's causing it to stop, or maybe hang? I've tried using different tones, but it's still the same; works for a while and then doesn't.
try after changing u,r sound profile.
FWIW, I had the same problem with my Touch/Elf when using an MP3 for alerts. Sounds like a little software bug to me.
jefmcg, I've tried changing the MP3s to WAV but it still happens.
Alipi, you seem to be right, it happens after I've change to silent and back again. It doesn't seem to put the email and SMS tone back to normal volume.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I'm using the O2 profiles app to change profiles, as the HTC home one doesn't allow you to put any additional ones on. I like to have a "sleep" profile, which doesn't beep for SMS or email, but does ring the phone.
Open to any suggestions or workarounds!

Hi,
I have the same problem. But until today I though I´m alone . And I haven´t investigate that it arises after I switched form silent to "normal". Have to look into this as well...
Sorry, but I haven´t got any workaround, maybe someone else...
Pobably dont belong in this thread but i have the exact same issue/problem with my Tmo Wing, everytime i change the sms tone (incoming text) it works fine for the first 5 or so text but after that just goes silent when receiving new ones...a fix or advice would really be appreciated...i have no clue
UPDATE!
Ok, so I'm an idiot!
I thought I had deleted the mp3 versions of my ringtones and replaced them with wav files, but I hadn't. I've since done it, and whilst they do sound slightly different (crap converter?), it SEEMS to have fixed the problem....
...at least I've tried to move in and out of silent a few times, and the tones still sound!
So, guys, perhaps try converting them to WAV and go from there. FYI, my tones sit in the windows folder.

No - for some strange reason, ring tones need to be in \WINDOWS\RINGS, but SMS and other notification tones need to be in \WINDOWS.
Yet Another Update!
OK, so converting to WAV, only worked for a while, it did eventually stop beeping for texts and emails.
HOWEVER... philip gave me a great recommendation of PocketZenPhone, which is much more powerful at managing profiles, and especially on the text and email alerts, ACTUALLY WORKS!
im transfering my ringtones from my bold to my captivate and it states that i cant use anything above 300k, as most of my ringtones are above 300k. Is there anyway to get around this? Thanks. Also is there a way to set said ringtone as the DEFAULT ringtone besides using the stock sounds that samsung provides? please advise.
i used MP3s for my ring tones and they are 3-5 megs with no issues.
what you have do is sync to your computer and create a folder in the root directory of the SD card (/sdcard/) that's labeled ringtones.
i copied my MP3s there and they showed up in the list of available ring tones.
you may be able to do it right from the file browser on the phone, but i don't know how to do that yet. just got the phone yesterday.
now to figure out how to get custom txt message noises.

btw i downloaded ringo-pro and was able to change the default ringtone no problem...
thats sorta stupid the 300kb cap... i would just go into the sd card and make a folder named ringtones that works usually
Get Rings Extended
I actually own a Captivate, and the only way I was able to get around the limit was to install the free Rings Extended app. I had already put my full-length ringtones in the /media/audio/ringtones folder on the phone's internal memory, after trying to just have the ringtones folder on the root of my SD card to no avail, and it didn't work.
In order to get Rings Extended to work (it doesn't have an icon on the app list), go to Settings, Sound and Display, Voice Call Ringtone, check the set default box, and choose Rings Extended to manage ringtone selection. You can then change your phone's ringtone to something larger. To set ringtones per person, just go to your Contacts list and do it as normal. Rings Extended will pop up to allow you to choose longer ones.
The subject basically says it. I can't find a tutorial for my specific phone the Sprint Samsung Transform. I have downloaded my songs, trimmed them down, created the ringtones folder on the root of my sd card, and dropped the mp3s in there. went back to phone settings sounds and notifications. changed my phones ringtone, that worked. now i want to change the sound the plays when i receive a new text, but i cannot find the option to do that on the phone. am i missing something or is there a hack or anything that will enable this?
i found a sort of fix for this. change your notification ringtone to whatever you want your text message ringtone to be. the only problem is it makes that same sound for every notification. most noticeably when you plug your phone ino the charger. thats the best ive figured out tho.
I have strange question about my new Nexus S. Sometimes when incoming call the smart phone is ringing, sometimes is ringing only one time then is mute and sometimes is not ringing not at all. Format ringtones files is .ogg and all files are in the same system/media/audio/ringtones directory. Can anybody help me without I root phone? Thx a lot.

What rom are you using? Gingerbread or ICS?
Try Settings/Sound & make sure Vibrate and ring is ticked, & also phone ringtone is selected & not shown as "Unknown"!
I have ICS Rom and when I downloaded mp3 to SD card to folder Media/ringtones and it works well. Also when I ticked ring and vibrate it works well. Thank you.
If your phone only rings once with a custom ringtone have a read of the last post here:

I had the same problem and this solved it.
Hi friends ,
after upgrading to lollipop i faced this problem
there is no option for choosing ringtones for the two SIM cards
only one option which already acts for the first SIM and the other one rings with another ringtone which there is no option to change it.
it kills me , i tried every thing but no result.
i need your help pls.
Cant seem to change standard ringtone at all. Whatever ringtone I choose it always rings with the annoying Huawei standard tone.
The only thing which works perfect is to set individual ringtones per contact.
edit: weird, but if you change the ringtone through the music app - it work's. still something to fix by the Huawei devs...
It changed for the first SIM only not for the two SIM.
i made a factory rest ,
but the problem still exist
pls. i cant use this phone like that.
any ideas or applications
hey guys i had same problem the only solution i have for you is you can change the ringtone default from each person contact profile . you will find default option and you can change it . and its work and i think there is should some app for ringtone profile default on playstore .
I had same problem, after update to lollipop my ringtones and notification tone has gone too. i did factory reset but its not works. So i checked ringtones file...its 0 file
So i manage to pull some ringtones and notif tones from my ascend p6. And copy to my mate 7.
Since i can't post any links here, maybe i can share the link of p6 ringtone. Just PM me or email to [email protected] i'll give the google drive link to share the audio file. I hope it can help who have the same problem.
Sorry for my english, its not my native.
