Hello, I just picked an HTC One X on at&t and I can't figure out how to disable a ringtone. I still want to be able to hear notification sounds for sms. etc, but prefer not to have a ringtone sound. I realize I can use vibrate and silence mode, but that doesn't really solve the problem completely.
In CM7 on my old phone there was an option to set the ringtone to none in the list, but I don't see such option on the HOX.
Would I have to resort to importing in a blank.ogg ringtone and setting it to that or is there a better way to do it?
I searched through the forum here and saw someone mention an app that allows you to control ringtone volume separate from notification volume, but someone said it didn't work. I'll try to find the app and try that in the mean time.
My phone came with 2.20 firmware unfortunately. If it didn't, I would have rooted, unlocked, and flashed CM10 by now.
Any insight/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Create a silent MP3 file, put in the ringtones folder, select it as your ringtone. Job done.

Is there a ringtone named silent on your phone? I've been through so many ROMS I can't say for sure if its in stock but it is in every ROM I can remember. It's usually the first ringtone.

Has anyone figured out a way to make it so you can set different sounds to mute (example just notifications, which are tied to ringer, stupidly) without the sound profile for the entire phone changing to silent? If I set ringer to silent, everything but alarms and media are silenced, which is ****ing annoying. If I want everything silenced I'll set the silent profile mutt self. Really all I want is a way to control the different sound levels like an adult who knows the difference between ringer and notification volumes.
I've tried multiple third party apps, they are all limited to the way sound are handled natively, and can't override the auto-silent mode setting. I need a root solution, like a modified settings app, but unfortunately no one makes those for odexed ROMs, and I'm in stock T-Mo US...

Quick settings in the store. Used it for ages. Works perfectly for that. Only thing is that ringer and notifications are still tied together. But that's ICS, so you don't really get a choice.

Yeah, noticed that. Was going someone fixed it like in AOKP. But it might not matter for long since I'm having AOKP withdrawals, so I'm probably going to flash it soon. I was trying to stay as close to stock as possible but there are just too many little things about sense that irritate me, and now this.

OP, if you'd prefer to keep the ringtone that you chose, you're going to have to add some silence to the end of the audio file. I did this by getting the file off the phone (I'm rooted and used ES File Explorer), then running it through Audacity (free download, plus the free patch to allow it to write MP3s). Add 3 seconds of silence to the end to get the standard 2s-3s-2s... pattern you expect to hear.
Sounds complicated, but it's relatively simple.

It what we do here. And what the thanks button is for.
Good luck, let me know if you get it.

Standard 3 is a pretty long ringtone. Maybe too long to have a gap between each ring?
I actually really liked the ringtone my phone originally came with, but seem to have lost it. I have a giant list of ringtones saved to my phone and was hoping someone who hasn't changed it yet could just quickly reply with the name of the ringtone the phone comes with out of the box.
VZW Airwaves? Ringtone right not notification

No it was something else. But correct, the ringtone is what I'm looking for, not the notification.
My phone is acting strange, or it's that damn "HTC Sense" screwing with stuff again. Stock Europe ICS 3.33 with custom rom.
When people call me, sometime it uses the ringtone I choose. Sometimes it uses some another ringtone. I can't figure out what is going on. Is it supposed to do this? It's really freaking annoying because now when I hear a phone ring I have to check if it is my phone because I don't know what ringtone it will use next. I missed two phone calls because I didn't know it was my phone ringing.
It is possible to set a global ringtone, and also specific for certain contacts.
When a contact is opened, in the 'options' sexton, there's a Ringtone combo box, where a custom tone can be set.
See the last person who called you with 5he nondefault tone, perhaps it has a custom one set.

I didn't know how to change the ringtone for contacts, let alone want to. So if a contact's ringtone was changed, it wasn't me who did it. But I checked, and they are all set to default. But sometimes, not always, the system uses a different ringtone for whatever reason.

Your ringtones aren't on your sd card are they? If so it could be a sign of a failing sd card.

No, I only use stock ringtone "Oldphone." I like the fact the it actually sounds like a phone.

Thanks, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one it happened to.
I have tried to search for this but haven't really found any solution. On my previous android phones when I go into work or somewhere that I want my phone on vibrate I would just simply hold the Vol Down key until it goes to Vibrate and everything would be silenced (ringtones, notification tones, etc.) but when I got phone calls, text, etc it would vibrate.
For some reason on this phone when I do this it doesn't control the individual "Notification" volume, so I have go in and manually control that myself. I guess for some people this might be useful to manually control them individually but to just quickly silence the normal things like ringtones & notifications. For me personally it's quite annoying to have to deal with them on an individual basis.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out on this!
I'm also curious about this. I do the same thing. I put my phone on vibrate when I get to work which silences the ringer but if I do something else (I often play ads in Viggle for bonus points) that volume is untouched and must be silenced on its own...
I'm using CM10 currently. Not sure if this differs between roms.

Is there a settings / sound / volumes / link ringtone and notifications check box?
I haven't had either issue. If mine is on vibrate that's all it does, if silenced it's all silenced. Hmm.
Have you guys tried using a widget or the notification toggle?

Thanks Romman0! That option is not available, but just your keyword of "link" enabled me to find an app that does exactly what I needed! :good:

Would anyone be interested in a widget for this? I could get right onto developing it if there's a demand for it.
