I don't know why but in my girlfriend's Nexus 5, the songs she puts in the Alarm folder are not showed in the alarm settings. In mine I do not have such issue, just moving a song to the Alarm folder and it appears in the settings. Tried a reboot, but still they don't appear.
Thoughts?

transferred it using "Wifi File Transfer", same as in my device.
as vichimp wrote, it's bug with the Nexus 5. Plug it into a Windows machine and copy the files over and the phone will see them. Some folks have had similar success with other methods (search will pop up many threads) but the usb copy seems to be the most reliable.

it's crappy, annoying and unwanted. how do i mute it (without putting the phone on vibrate)?
Are you rooted? If so then you'll have to download "root explorer" app (if you don't have it) and then scroll down to SYSTEM, then SCROLL to MEDIA and delete the camera.ogg file (I believe that's the name of it) and the recorder.ogg file (I believe that's the name of it). If I helped please feel free to hit the thanks button.

Do not delete those files right away, try renaming them to something else first. If the camera app still works, then it is safe to delete.
But for me when I renamed the files (in my Nexus S they're in /system/media/audio/ui/ and the file names are camera_click.ogg and VideoRecord.ogg) the camera app cannot start anymore. The error message was weird though -- it says "Cannot connect to camera."
Then I renamed the files back and the camera app works again.
nope. not rooted. just plain ol' stock 2.3.2

You just need a blank sound file to replace it.

Yeah, I think that's the way to go.
If you make your phone silent, I believe the camera makes no shutter sound.

I always delete both files after I download a new rom and the camera works flawlessly. Trust me it works and it's extremely easy.

Why dont you just to to "Vignette"
you could hold the volume down key for 5 seconds before you take a snap
So I have a custom ringtone from Google Music-it's an MP3 song I own, downloaded, and I connecting my phone to my desktop, I moved the song into the ringtones folder which when I am on the desktop only lists "hangouts" and does not show any of the internal system ringtones that are built into the phone. So the song shows up in the Sounds setting under "Memory" but not under "System" where the built in "Blu" ringtones are.
I can select this song as my DEFAULT ringtone and it stays the default for a while, but then it will revert back to the default Blu Ringtone I had previously selected which was the Blu_ringtone 4 or something. I don't understand why it won't save my setting permanently. How do I get it to do that? I can't move the song to the System folder because I can't find it.
Incidentally, I have a custom SMS tone too which seems to be working fine and it too is from the "memory" but it seems to be staying as the default so far. Any ideas. Right now my custom ringtone is remaining but I'm waiting for it to get knocked off again! Thanks for the help. I looked online but I have to wonder if some of this is peculiar to our phone hear or Android OS stuff-not sure.
I have this same issue. I even made a custom sound profile and it wont stick. However, my custom notification sound works 100% fine.
I have put the ringtone on the SD and the phone/ringtone directory. Neither will stay it is very annoying. I keep missing phonecalls because I am not used to this ringtone.
An update for the phone just came out; so I'll update and let you know if that fixes it.
Update the phone. If you get their new update the phone ring tones will stop resetting.

Thanks. I'm out right now so on LTE but checked for updates and it says my phone is up to date. I will check again later. I did an update a couple weeks ago. And my custom ringtone is NOT holding which is annoying. My SMS one is fine still. But I think I may have the current update already. I hope I don't and that fixes it!!

So how is my procedure different then. Put the mp3 into the Ringtones folder so why isn't it holding? I have a task killer but I have it set to ignore the settings. (Assuming sounds is within that) Hmmm I wonder if maybe it isn't??? I might delete the app and see if that does anything. Thoughts? Addendum! Tried that and after three days, my ringtone defaulted back, so back to square one. I have no idea what will fix this. Very annoying.

Have you tried storing the ringtone in the internal storage of the device and not the SD card?
Yes. It doesn't work. My next step is to try and maybe change it to an ogg file. I have the ringtone sent to memory and not the SD card but it doesn't matter. I have tried several apps and they work a while and then the problem happens again, and the default "system" ringtone one suddenly it resets itself to. I can't find those files when I look for them through explorer apps or on a PC. The same ringtones are in other folders, but then there is this "System" folder that seems to be the one ruling the show as the default and if I could drop the custom file into that, problem I think would be solved. But I also haven't tried converting the song into its present mp3 format to ogg. But do you or anyone have any clue why I can't access the System folder for ringtones? Thanks for your reply.

Actually, I take that back. When I look at my phone itself, I *think* I had put the custom tones into memory, but, no, I think they are in fact in the SD card. So this is my issue, trying to get them to my phone's memory. I can't seem to do that. I'm usually pretty savvy with this stuff and have never had problems setting custom ringtones. I don't know why this phone is eluding me so much.

I just noticed too. Of all weird things: I don't have an SD card in my phone! I don't know why it is saying SD card as location, but I don't have a card in there. I had opted to not use one for now. I also hooked my Note 3 up and had ZERO problems. What is the issue with the file system and this Blu phone to get a lousy custom ringtone in there and drop the darn files into the folder like I just did with the Note 3. I have the Blu for the dual SIM but honestly, a thing like custom ring tones should be straightforward and it's not.

Unsure when this started or if I just hadn't noticed but went I recently changed the default SMS sound I get a notification when turning off the U11+.
The default notification sound accompanies device shutdown or restart.
Is this a stock feature or have I inadvertantly turned this sound on?
Thoughts or suggestions on how to turn off if it is possible on stock?

@kenosis is right, audio.wav is embedded in a folder named part4 inside the boot animation file located in /system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip. i opened the zip on my laptop, renamed the audio.wav file to audio.wav_ copied the updated zip to my U11+, backed up the original hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip_, pasted the new version in the folder, set permissions and waa-la, no more boot-up sounds!

Thank you for sharing this. This is helpful but not what I am seeking.
The issue with my phone relates to shutting down the device which triggers the default notification sound(not HTC jingle). Is this stock behavior?

whoops! yeah, i totally misunderstood (or misread, lol). definitely not having that issue.
Mine is quiet both on startup and shutdown.
I found what was causing this.
Flick Launcher notification access was turned on - turned off did the trick.
Interesting setting. Not easy to figure out what was causing it.

Hi all.
Just got the X2 pro and this is my first Oppo phone.
Really enjoying it, have finished setting it up, but... One thing is annoying.
I have copied across some notification tones and I am using Textra as my message app. When I try and select my notification tone, it only shows the oppo tones and doesn't allow me to select from 'another folder' on the phone...
Is there something I can do to add a folder or copy the tones to another folder? I have tried to copy them into the internal storage's 'Notifications' folder but they still don't show up.
Short of rooting the phone to put the files into the hidden/inaccessible media folder, is there anything I'm doing wrong which I have overlooked?
Any help appreciated and thank you in advance.
Assuming EU version of phone? For me, to get different ringtones/message tones... need to go to that particular apps info (long press on icon and choose info, or from the phone settings. Not from the actual app settings) then under Manage notifications click on the specific notification (probably something like default conversation notifications as its SMS). You can turn notifications on or off with the slider, but clicking on it will give you more options. Once in that, look for Ringtone and under Custom should see 'Select from files'.
Might be teaching you to suck eggs, but thats where it is on my phone (CPH2025)

Hi guys, Is there a chance to add custom ringtones or notification tones to watch 4?
Or maybe to replace the default one with other files with the same name....
It's not working to add files trough Manage Content/Add Tracks

Použil jsem správce souborů. Přeposlal jsem melodii k hodinkám, pak jsem je přes správce souborů přesunul na vyzváněcí tóny a poté jsem hodinky restartoval a bylo to tam.

That didn't work for me. If I try to move it to the ringtones or notifications folder it won't allow me to move or copy over the file.
Actually it did sort of work. One of two mp3s did appear when I dropped them into the Notifications and Ringtones folder but the other mp3 didn't. It didn't appear straight away but I've no idea what triggers it and why one mp3 worked and the other didn't.
Anyone have an answer for this?

How did you get the ringtone file on the watch?

1. I use Samsung Music Player on my phone with a number of playlists that I synced over to my watch through the Wearables app.
2. I then downloaded a File Explorer on my watch from the Google Play app store.
3. I opened the app, browsed through my watch and found a media folder containing all the songs I had synced over. I chose a song I wanted as the ringtone and copied it over to two other folders, one called Notifications and another called Ringtones. These folders were NOT in the Root folder.
I actually copied over several songs but only one appeared as selectable in the Sound menu of my watch. I've no idea why that one song appeared but the other didn't.
4. Also you might need to restart the watch and wait for a while as the song didn't appear straightaway.
I can confirm
(1) use the wearables app to transfer the ringtone/notification in MP3 format to the watch.
(2) Then a file explorer to copy the ringtone to internal memory/ringtone and/or the notification to internal memory/notification
(3) Press and hold home button and select power off
(4) Press and hold home button to turn watch back on
(5) wait (even for a little after the watch has finished booting)
They then show up as a ringtone/notification but ONLY on the watch (Galaxy Watch 4 Classic), you can't make the change on the phone as it doesn't see them in the wearables app (or didn't for me anyway).

I had to search for a file explorer on the watch itself
theres a notification and ringtone folder in the internal partition, but theres also a media folder where the default notifications and ringtones are stored in the root partition as well.
I dont know if you have write permission in the root area though.
I was looking for the hourly tone to see if it could be replaced, but i dont see it in the list of system sounds which it has for things like charge and touch. The watch ticking sound seems to be its own app also.
@sesnut you don't need to add them to the root partition, just the one mentioned in my post.
@al czervik I picked Wear File Manager as it was the first I came across with a rating above 4.
What's now annoying me is I can't specify an alarm tone it uses the ringing tone.

yea but if added to the root partition it will probably show up in the wearable app, assuming it doesnt use its own list and pulls it from the watch
@sesnut maybe, but that would most probably require root permissions...
I did just try and it would appear a symlink is created into that folder as when I tried to paste the ringtone into the ringtone folder in the device root it said the file already exists.. Despite it not showing.

I noticed that the list on the phone is using alphabetical order and doesnt actually specifically list what ringtones are on the watch so whatever you named your ringtone it will take up that slot and play that tone when you select it.
meh, me im old school
i have 3 folders under my platform-tools folder (or any folder with adb.exe in it), named Alarms, Notifications and Ringtones, with the suitable files in the matching folders
and a batch file called pushtowatch.bat, with contents:
Code:
adb push Alarms /sdcard
adb push Notifications /sdcard
adb push Ringtones /sdcard
as im often resetting and/or testing stuff, i just
1) enable developer mode on Watch (im going to do this anyways)
2) enable ABD Debugging (Debug Over Wifi)
3) adb connect <ip> (using IP shown in above step)
4) run pushtowatch.bat
5) disable ABD Debugging (Debug Over Wifi) - otherwise battery drain
6) reboot Watch to update media index so files show in picker
everybody ought to know how to do simple things the manual way, i dont install apps to do things i can do without too much drama, of course you can add other files to stock folders in a similar way
