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.

Hi all,
I found a few other people with this issue but no definitive answer on how to fix it.
Just got the ICS update from Orange and all is well (after having to do a factory reset as messages wouldn't load) apart from ringtones.
If I set my own tones for email and txt and ringtones it will work, but any kind of reboot will set it back to default, and it also seems to be if the phone has slept for a long time it will lose the ringtones.
All tones are in either '/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones(notifications or alarms)'
or they are in '/sdcard/ringtones(notifications or alarms)'
These have always worked on previous android versions.
Now, I find what seems to cause this is the SD card not syncing correctly, it is mounted and if I unmount/re-mount it, sometimes the tones will come back.
If I go to 'personalise->sound' The tones say;-
ringtone = quietly brilliant
notification = zeta
alarm = new day
But if I click on the sound set itself it tells me that all my personalised tones are selected.
This is getting very annoying as I will have my ringtone for a few hours, then all of a sudden it jumps back to whatever it fancies.
Is there a known bug or a fix for this, it's only been since the update to ICS.
Thanks for reading and hopefully I have described the issue enough to make sense.
Darren
It's a known issue. I push all of my custom ringtones to its respective directory in /system/media/...
Simple work around.

Ok, thanks.
I kinda knew it would be the answer but wanted to check I wasn't the only one with the problem.
Do you know if this is an ICS issue or is it a sensation issue?

I think it's an issue with the restarting "media" service

There have been guesses for both, but I believe it happens in the senseless roms as well...

You can also add ring tones and notifications by
Settings- sound- phone ring tone - menu soft key- more ringtone - New ringtone
This way you won't lose ringtones when rebooted. You can also add alarms and notifications the similar way

Thanks for all the answers, I will give them all a go.
With regards to putting the files directly on the phone do I need root access (im not near a pc until later) as I don't really root my devices since them seem pretty stable nowadays.
Thanks

I have written an email to HTC to explain the issues and ask when they will fix the problems.
I know Android is still classed as 'a bit geeky' in terms of OS but now it is used on so many devices we shouldn't need to root our phones to change the ringtone, it's almost as bad as an iPhone
If I hear anything back from HTC I will post in this thread.
Darren
I wondered if there had been any update on this? I have tried various Android 4.1 and 4.2,2 roms and it always happens after a reboot (currently CM10.1). I have even tried converting the ringtone to OGG format, placing it the \system\audio\ringtones folder (on phone) and fixing the permissions but that did not work!
I'm (obviously) rooted with an HTC Desire HD. Thanks!
GT-I9505G 5.0
Phone app: in Recents calls: shows unknow outgoing calls (this makes no sense since an unknown number can not be called)
Phone app: dialer is VERY laggy; when I initiate a call, the phone will look like it is doing nothing for 5-10 seconds, then will start call. When answering a call, people on the other end cannot her me and I can't her them for about 3-5 seconds causing some to hang up before I can say anything.
Fix: Wipe Data/cache.
Photos app: pressing the left soft key, it opens a black menu.
Workaround: tap the three dots button at the top right.
FlashLight tile not present in quicksettings
Fix: Use the flash light in the camera app, the tile will appear after this
If you find other bugs, I'll add them to the list.
I would like to report these bugs to Samsung but still do not know who to contact, If anyone knows who to contact to submit bug reports, please tell me.
*Ringtone, phone won't hold custom ringtone-resets after reboot
-I have found that the dialer app is VERY laggy. When I initiate a call, the phone will look like it is doing nothing for 5-10 seconds, then will start call.
-When answering a call, people on the other end cannot her me and I can't her them for about 3-5 seconds causing some to hang up before I can say anything.
I am stock 5.0. I haven't rooted or modded it... yet.
Am I crazy, or do we not seem to have the built-in flashlight that everyone else is talking about with lollipop? I can't find the darn thing anywhere.

I know I'm going to sound like a crazy person saying this, but in case anyone else runs into this issue: the Flashlight setting was not available anywhere for me *until* I installed a third-party flashlight app (I installed Torch since it seems to have reasonable permissions). After I installed the app, the in-system Flashlight setting showed up in Quick Settings. I am not making this up.

I am on Cricket. I have an update though. After after clearing the data/cache of the dialer app and restarting, it is much better. Still a very slight bit of lag when dilaing out, but it is more than acceptable. Also, I can answer with no problem. Not sure what was hanging it up, but all is good now.

You don't sound crazy. It appeared for me eventually as well. I never downloaded a flashlight app though. I started up the video app and turned on the light while taking a video. Not too long after, it showed up. I think you just need to use it in some fashion or another and it should show up.
When I try to delete a file from my microSD card using any file explorer app that has been updated for Lollipop's new API allowing write access to the external card, I am asked to grant access permission by choosing the root folder of the external storage when the Android "picker" is displayed. But the picker only shows internal storage, not listing external storage as an option.

Thanks for the suggestion. With Lollipop, the root-based work-around this app implements is no longer needed for apps that are updated to use a new Android feature. Android 5.0 introduces a way for asking the user to grant write access to the external SD card. That's what's not working as it should. I am also trying to add this to my own app and it fails in the same way. I'm guessing this is either a problem with version 5.0 that is fixed in 5.0.1 or is only affecting the I9505G, since I haven't found anyone else noting the issue.

I am having the same problem also. When I try to move ,delete etc. a file using ES file explorer it fails every time. I get no message asking for permission to do so
either. Have tried root explorer also with same results.
Also my phone with 5.0 will not set a default ringtone. I can set one and it shows as the default but when I go to a contact that has default ringtone when I
click on it all I get is a generic low tone. I have to assign a custom ringtone to a contact for it to work when I get a call. This also happens with notification sounds.
In other words I cannot set default sounds for anything that work. Very frustrating and time consuming to have to go through every contact and program to set custom sounds for them!
I was having issues with sd card access with certain apps. It may have been because they have not been updated to use the new permission but I went ahead and did the platform.xml change and all is well again. I know it shouldn't be required, but it works.
The problem that I'm having last 2 day's is that I get a random message Simcard Removed. Phone freezes until I reboot it again. Very strange because the rom ( echoe lolipop 5.0 ) is now for almost two weeks on the S4 and worked flawlessly
Only thing I have changed , or added is the app android wear because my kids gave me a smartwatch for Christmass .

Hi, wondering if anyone else has the same issue as me as in the custom notification sound is selected for individual contacts, but whatsapp keeps playing the default sound set in the phones settings for everyone and anything.
As far as I am aware I have selected all the necessary check boxes.
It does see all my notification sounds regardless of on sdcard or internal memory.
Custom notifications work fine on other apps like yahoo and Textra(sms/mms).
I've gone through all the settings but can't seems to get custom notifications to work on WhatsApp.
I have reinstalled WhatsApp but to no avail. This has been an issue ever since I have had the phone. Not just with the latest 151 update. Worked OK on mate 9. I get notifications as normal. No issues there.
Can anyone shed any light. Is this a WhatsApp issue or a phone issue?
Thanks in advance......

Good to hear.
I recently got the Note 10 plus and when I tried to use my custom notification sounds they don't show up any longer like they did on my previous S10 plus. I've downloaded them and then copied and pasted them to the internal notification folder as well as the ring tone folder but they don't show up to be used for messages or gmail for example. I contacted Samsung support and they said the option was removed in the latest update. Anyone else try?

I use Zedge to set custom tones. Been doing it for several versions now and it still works for me. Probably a permissions issue.

I'm sure you were given the wrong information about them being removed. I'm using custom sounds in ringtones and also in text notifications. Look in your contacts>more options>notification sounds or ringtones. You should be able to do it in your texting program as well (I use chompsms) by right clicking on the conversation list for each individual contact and selecting notification. See if that solves it. Losing ability for custom sounds would be a very bad thing indeed!
Did a factory reset and now it works. Those ppl at Samsung don't know their own products.
I was used to the 'Knock Knock' sound for txt's on my Note9. Anyway, found a download of all the factory Note9 audio files (http://www.mediafire.com/file/ed5y26zn5g3wp30/Galaxy-Note-9-audio-files.zip/file), unzipped and placed 'S_Knock.ogg' into 'Internal Storage > Notifications' and it became selectable as a notification sound.

I too was missing that and the actual ring tones from note 9 are also missing so my ringtones are just the new **** music. I think this is going to be my last sammy device. So sick of their incompetency
Had to download the whatsapp and Facebook messenger ring tones as well as the knock knock for text as they sounds defaulted to the regular ring tone. So stupid that they did this, not letting apps select their own sounds to default
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)

I had the same issue. Only factory reset helped.

I had no problem? Do you not have an option at the top of the Oppo list to pick from file instead... that's all I did.
