Hi all.
Anyone else having issues with the S6 ringtone and message alerts?
I copied a folder called media to my S6 when I first updated to 5.1.1 and I could select my ringtone and message alert tone from this folder, but yesterday it went back to default and now i can't select anything in the media folder, coincidently my video folder i used to be able to see is now not showing in the video player but is there if i browse my files??
Is there a cache clear for the system ringtone notification app?
Tried uninstalling a bunch of apps related to audio video, and cleared my files cache no joy!

I can see the sounds in ES file explorer but they don't show up under the ringtone select or notification selection. Just all of a sudden disappeared. They don't show up in the Music Player app either.
Anyone? The LiveProfile sound is there but none of the rest. They are all in the same directory.
I'm still having this issue. The sounds returned for a few days but then disappeared again.
what is your question ? you want set "your sound" to be a ring tone or notification ? is that what you asking ?
try copy your sound file to /system/media/audio , you should see few folders , copy/paste to "alarms" (clock) , "notifications" (like SMS arrive) and "ringtones"
They are there. I can see them in Es file explorer, even play them but they don't show up in the music app or in the ringtone selection list except for one.
I have three folders full of ringtones notifications and alarms gathered from pretty much every device. I put the ringtones folder on my SD card and it works fine and I could select ringtones through the sound options. I tried the same with the notifications folder and didn't have any luck. I am rooted and have Root Browser so I then tried copying the folder to the system /media./notification. Part of the phone. I fixed permissions and still no luck. Anyone have any ideas on how to get my own notifications selectable through the sound options. With my droid razr I just made folders on SD card and ringtones notifications and alarms all work. Like I stated the ringtones works like this but no luck with notifications and I have yet to try alarms
Ok, I need a little help, as this problem has me stumped.
I wanted to set a custom notification sound, so I copied 2 new mp3 files to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications. Normally this should allow me to select those sounds as notification sounds from the sound settings, but this time it didn't work (I have done it successfully before). I then proceeded to open the files in ES File Explorer, selected Play and Set as Ringtone, Notification Tone. That worked and the sound was set as the default notification tone. BUT, here's the kicker, when I now go to settings - Sound - Notification Sound, on the screen where you can set the Default notification, Messages, Calendar, Mail and Notice, I am no longer able to select any tones for each of these categories. When I go into Default notification, where I used to get a list of notification sounds, there is no list anymore, and the Apply button is greyed out. Same with the other notification categories.
I've tried selecting a different notification sound through ES File Explorer, and that changed the Default again, but I still can't get a list to load in the settings screen. I've already tried clearing data and defaults for the ES File Explorer, Music and Android System under Apps in settings, but that didn't fix it either. I've rebooted just to make sure it wouldn't correct itself, no luck. I'm stuck. I would like to have the ability again to set these different categories of notification sounds. Can anyone help?
I ended up restoring a backup to fix this issue. Problem solved.
I have a number of custom ringtones/notification sounds in the internal SD all this time. Suddenly, I am unable to see them in this list to set custom ringtones and notification sounds. The Z3 can't see them for some reason.... not so sure why.
The notification sounds are in the notification folder while ringtones are in the ringtones folders. Nothing has changed. I have confirmed that those custom ringtones are still in the internal SD (in the notification and ringtone folders respectively!) via the file manager.
Rebooting the phone doesn't help.
Even using ringtone apps like Ringtone Maker .. I am unable to see any of the files and set them accordingly. I could do it before. The only way I can see the ringtones/notification is when I use the Browse option in the app... then I can locate them.
Thanks for reading.
I am stumped. S22 Ultra recently replaced due to hardware issue. Used Cable-connect Smart Switch to transfer all data and settings,
Android 13, OneUI 5 All s.w up to date
Situation. Assume Default ringtone is X
Desired Ringhtone for ONE contact is ECHO
Other Ringtone is WHISTLE
RINGTONE selection is via Samsung contacts App as Google Contacts odes not support contact-specific r/t selection,
For some reason the transfer of settings was incomplete. For ONE contact alone, I wish to have ECHO as the tone, instead the Phone plays WHISTLE, and I don't know why, ECHO is an OGG file visible in the Ringtone folder and plays correctly via any correct app. And I cannot locate WHISTLE using MyFiles app.
I have tried removing the contact and power down restart the phone. I have not reset the App Cache
UPDATE: I determined that the originator of the wrong ringtone is an old S8 App called S8 Ringtones. It was used to associate the wrong ringtone with the contact. The S8 App is now removed, however the incorrect association remains.
THOUGHTS?
