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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
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.

so im having an issues with the phone app on my inspire. im currently running Android Revolution 5.1.10 with radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 with matching RIL.
When i try to place a call when inside of the app and clicking on the person that i want to call it will go to the dialing screen and after about three seconds the phone will beep and it will not complete the call. almost as if the call is dropped. i end up repeating the process about three or four times before it actually goes through and i hear ringing. i also intermittently have problems sending text messages. and both of these problems seem to happen at the same time but there is no set schedule for when they will actually happen. im starting to think it might be the radio im using(which is the one recommended on the ARHD thread) but i don't want to re-flash the radio if that's not the issue.
Im also having a problem where after reboots some of my app icons will not show up and it will not show the icon picture meant for it. it will just show the default android icon. ive found that unmounting my sd card and remounting it will fix the issue but it always happens again after i reboot it. The curious thing about this is that i dont have any of my apps installed on the SD card but it seems as if the icon picture is stored on the SD card somewhere and then not getting loaded properly after reboot.
Does anyone have any idea on these two issues? any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have had a very similar problem with my Inspire 4g. From who I have talked to with AT&T it seems to be a network issue in some areas that are using the towers that were, at one time, cingular towers. They have told me it should be fixed in the next couple of months.
thanks for the quick reply! .. i guess i will just wait it out for now.
No problem. I know it's pretty unfortunate that their network still has so many flaws in them. Perhaps if the government would allow the take over of T-Mobile we could see better coverage and network reliability in the near future!

Hmmm. I know it's a known issue with sense-based roms, that if apps are on the SD, and in a folder, when you reboot, their icons will be the white/green generic. Changing the skin to something else and then changing it back to your preferred skin makes them reappear.
If it is happening to you with apps on internal storage and not in folders, then maybe a full wipe and a reflash?
Have you restored anything from a previous ROM using titanium backup? That can also cause weird things to happen.

i may have to try a full wipe and and reflash then, and then reflash my radio and RIL. i havent restored anything from titanium backup BECAUSE of the problems it causes when you do. i learned that lessen about 90 flashes ago the only thing that i can imagine might be causing it is if somehow the apps actually ARE on the SD and im just dumb. i should add that i didnt perform a full wipe when upgrading from ARHD 10.1.9 to ARHD 10.1.10 but i just downloaded 10.1.11 and i think im going to do a clean install. unless you have any other roms that you can recomend that i might be better off with? i like a close to stock look but i also want the Unity O/C deamon. and no Sense 3.0.

Well, by the looks of it, you're well aware of the virtues of clean installs, so you might as well go with what you're already working with and do the clean install of 10.1.1, and see how that pans out.
I've been running inspired ace for so long, and everything just works, and I don't feel like screwing it up atm, lol, so I can't offer much along the lines of alternative recommendations.

I just wanted to give everyone and update and say that I ended up performing a full wipe on my phone and reinstalling Android revolution 10.1.11 with matching radio and RIL. After the initial setup and putting all of my stuff back on I realized that I was having the same issue with calling. I then went to my installed apps and noticed that I had the call delay patch app installed, uninstalled it and rebooted the phone . Phone is now functioning better than ever ! For now at least lol

Glad to hear it. Another Android Miracle!
Thanks for posting back, I for one like to see how people get things resolved, and it's good for future visitors with similar issues to see how someone worked it out.
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.
I have a Samsung Exhibit 2 that I just rooted. The main issue that I keep having and had before I rooted is with the custom ringtones. Before I rooted I tried everything I could to get them to stay, but every time someone would call who I designated a custom ring, the default ring would play. This happens about 50/50. I could not figure out why the phone was randomly getting confused about which ring to play. I've used the zedge app because people said it would create the right folders to put them in and it didn't work. I've used ringdroid and a few others. I have moved the actual files around to different folders on the phone using astro and even changed/created folders thinking that would fix it. Nothing has worked. It may work for a few hours or a day or so, but eventually it still reverts back to the default tone sporadically.
Here's where I'm at now. I just rooted the phone because I read that the reason why I was having trouble is because when the tones are on the sd card the phone sometimes loses them and goes into the internal memory to get the default. Which by the way that last statement is weird because even when it went to the default, I had a mp3 for it as well and it was not on the internal, but oh well. So I rooted and moved the ringtones to the system/media/ringtones folder I believe. Well as you can tell, it worked for most of the day yesterday. Now this morning someone called and boom, default ringtone again. I know that this is something that seems insignificant, but it's driving me crazy. I love to be able to hear the phone and know who's calling without looking at it. I've looked at about a dozen forums and tried everything and no luck. If anyone has any suggestions I'd much appreciate it.
So nearly a week later it's still an issue. Does anybody have any advice? It still seems very random on when it wants to work or not. Thanks.
So you installed a custom rom, put them on the interal memory ringtones folder and that STILL didn't work?
That's bizarre man...
You probably already tried this, but did you try putting them in /sd/media/ringtones or /sd/ringtones? That's where I have mine with no issues on any phones I've had.

Yeah I was so excited cause I thought rooting would be the solution. Before I rooted I moved them to both of the places you mentioned. I've allowed zedge to set the ringtones and it didn't work. I think I tried another app that created a new ringtones folder, but that didn't work either. I have no clue what the problem is, but I've pretty much given up and decided to live with the randomness for now. I mean I don't see any other solutions. How the phone can get confused about which ringtone to play when I've moved it to the actual /system ringtones folder inside the phone memory is beyond me. It doesn't even have to access the sd card or do a media scan. Oh well.
Hi everyone,
Having a bit of an issue with my new Huawei phone, which is also my first Android device altogether.
I've customized it as far as ringtones, wallpapers, etc. but I haven't really done anything too strange to it, haven't rooted it [yet], just installed a few apps and the like.
The thing is that whenever I plug it onto the PC and access the microSD storage from there, after I eject the device from the 'puter and disconnect the phone (having stopping USB storage there as well), my ringtones and alarm clock notification tones are back to their 'Default ringtone' values. It's rather annoying as you may imagine, and I've searched around and found a number of threads on different forums that mentioned the same or a similar issue (with ICS, which is what I'm running as well) but they all die after a few messages, with no answers.
The ringtones are on my SD card and I've tried moving them around, someone suggested creating a /media/audio/ringtones folder and putting them there, but that does not solve the issue. I've also tried moving them to the internal storage that shows up when I plug the phone into the PC - also no luck.
Does anyone by any chance know what might be happening? Like I said, it's annoying as all hell.
Also would anyone happen to know of a one-click (no PC) way to temp-root this phone? I don't want to become permanent root (yet, anyway) but there are a few apps I'd like to try. Z4root hasn't worked.
Thanks in advance!

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

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.
Is There another way to solve this issue???

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.
