Hey guys, couple days ago I rooted and unlocked my Nexus S on ICS, then upgraded to Jelly Bean but my ringtones aren't working. Either the phone rings silently (when its volume is fully turned up) and ringtones for specific contacts wont work and goes to the default ringtone.
If anyone knows what's going on or can help, thank you in advance.
I have a similar situation, however, not on Nexus S, but the problem appears once I installed a Jelly Bean port on my Galaxy S.
Suddenly, the phone does not ring, just emits a warning signal and that's it.
I have a custom MP3 ringtone configured, which is located on the internal SD card of the phone. If I notice the problem and I enter in the Sound settings, I observe, that for the current ringtone the phone displays "Unknown ringtone".

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 a Samsung Droid Charge. Whenever USB Mass Storage Mode is enabled the ringtone it uses for notifications, incoming calls, anything defaults to this slightly annoying ringing tone. The tone itself I don't actually mind all that much since I realize that all my custom ringtones are stored on the MicroSD card which is not available to the phone when Mass Storage Mode is enabled.
My issue with it is the LENGTH at which it rings. If I receive a text while I've got the phone plugged in to the computer and am dinking around with the files on the mSD card it just rings and rings and rings. In fact, I got a text message just as I started typing this post and it's STILL ringing right now as I type this sentence. Apparently it won't stop ringing until I actually do something to acknowledge the notification.
So, my main question is this - Is there a way to change the length that it rings? I most definitely do NOT need a five minute long tone to let me know that I've received a text (plus it drives me nuts to have it ring and ring and ring until I finally grab the phone and open up/acknowledge whatever the notification may be) or have had a reminder from my calendar pop up. My normal text ringtone (the Druuge victory ditty from HyperMelee for any of you that are Star Control II [best game EVER, BTW] fans) in is all of 3 seconds long and that's quite sufficient.
Is there perhaps a way to copy my regular notification ringtone to the phone's built-in memory and tell it to use that when mass storage is connected? In fact, it'd be nice to copy all of my active ringtones to the phones onboard memory. If this happens to be possible, then I figure that it'd ring like it normally does when USB Mass Storage mode is enabled. If it's not possible to copy anything to the phone's onboard memory then I'm perfectly willing to settle for just shortening the length at which that damned Storage Mode tone happens to play.
Has anyone else experienced this, or is it unique to the Samsung Droid Charge?
No way to change this?
Can you move your ringtones to your phone memory? Is your phone rooted?

I just installed the leaked official Gingerbread ROM, and while it says it's rooted (the filename at least does) it didn't appear to be so. I just installed the debloated version of the ROM on the same page there.
Do the rooting methods shown out there depend on having a specific ROM installed?
Ringdroid.
Everything was fine until I realized I cant change my custom ringtone anymore. Whatever ringtone I set the custom one would ring even though it showed the other one is selected. So I deleted the ringtone and then was able to change it.
However only after a little while the phone just stopped ringing, the default tone seems to be silent and whatever I put it wont change. I put back my custom ringtone, rebooted, then deleted all the custom ringtones again and yet I am unable to get my phone to ring.
I have tried setting a ringtone through playerpro music player as well but to no avail.
The notification sound comes as normal. I am running stock unrooted 4.0.4. What should I do?
Figured out the problem. There were some specific contacts that did not have a ringtone assigned to them and my own second phone was one of them from which I was doing the testing. I was using a profile scheduler app previously and in that I had put some of the contacts on the whitelist to allow them to call me even on silent mode. So it was the app which was controlling those contacts and even after uninstalling it the settings hadnt defaulted.
Hello. Today my notification sound stopped working. My ringtone plays fine, but when I receive a message for example, there's no "Ting", the phone just vibrates. I'm using Cataclysm rom and franco's r13 kernel, and I've also flashed Drummerjed's volume mod. I don't know exactly when I lost notification sound since my phone stays on Silent/Vibrate for the major part of the day...
When I go into Settings > Sound > Default notification sound and select a tone, it doesn't play (if I go into Phone ringtone everything plays fine)
Anybody got any ideas? Thanks!
got the exact same probably going on.
Anyone having this issue? I can put them on the SD card or internal storage in /Notifications/ respectively, and I can select them in the sound settings, but it still plays the default notification sound when I get a message.
I originally put a custom notification sound in the "Notifications"folder as well. It didn't even pop up in the notification sound selection menu for me. I had to place the sound in /media/audio/notifications/ and then it showed up in the menu for me and it worked fine. Try giving that a shot!
Tried that, still default notification. Thanks though.
Ok, so I was in Target (which has horrible reception) and switched to roaming (has happened in this Target with every VZW phone I've ever had), and that played by custom nofication, but any SMS, MMS, etc plays the default notification sound still...
so does that mean you can't put ringtone/notifications on an SD card ?
anyone know if this phone does custom notification lights ?
