Android Settings crashes on 7.0 when accessing Sound Settings - General Questions and Answers

I have the new T-Mobile Revvl, also known as the Alcatel Mickey.
I have some OGG files I grabbed from an older CyanogenMod build for my S4 and successfully used them on my LG K3, however, once I set my ringto to "Growl.ogg" on my Revvl, the Settings app crashed, and now it crashes every time I try to change my ringtone.
I can create the problem just by going to Settings>Sound, and get "unfortunately, settings has crashed.
I tried to clear Settings data, but that didn't do anything and because I'm not rooted, I can't use Link2SD to clear SettingsStorage.
I also tried downloading an app called Tone Selector that I've used before. It too, crashes.
I have a LOT of apps and I'd rather not do a factory reset. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I'm at the end of my wits with this.

LG G3 acting buggy, advice?

I'm using stock Android 5.0.1 on my G3 on AT&T (D850).
Recently my phone has been really buggy. I was randomly using the web browser and then my phone started freezing up, and then wouldn't load up apps. It restarted itself and when it did half my contacts had no names.
No browser was working so I factory reset the phone but then my problems continued:
-all web browsers will still randomly crash when browsing
- apps will get a "Unfortunately, X has stopped" error. Most common is Google Play Services (which I've uninstalled updates and cache several times) but other apps like Messaging or even Settings can fail
- some apps just won't open over time. They'll work fine but then force close, and then any subsequent attempt to open it will force close it immediately
I still have a month on my warranty but would rather not send my phone in. Do you think that rooting my phone and installing a new ROM would fix these issues? If so which rooting method would you suggest and any suggestions on ROMs would be appreciated

Did you perform a factory reset? Try that first.

I did two factory resets. Nothing changed
If you are on 21r, I think it is something with the update. My phone went crazy the first go even after factory reset. I reverted back to KK, installed all updates again, and haven't had much issue. Occasionally, something glitches but not a show stopper. I'm thinking the update to patch stagefright is buggy.

Android for Work broken after device reset

I have been using succesfully this service : https://enterprise.google.com/android/experience for a year, without problem.
Recently I reseted my device due to some problems related to play store, and now, when I want to configure again my work profile, it just get stuck.
The app that enables work profile is that one -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc
I tried to :
- Delete my work profile and recreate a new one
- Delete cache and data for the app
It starts the process without any problem, but then it gets stuck at "registering your profile" for 5-10 minutes, after giving up.
Found nothing on the internet, and google support is not helpful either.
I would appreciate some clue on how to solve this.
Try this app. Maybe it helps. It's open source, don't worry.

Question Can't use custom ringtone. POCO X3 PRO

Hi guys!
My problem is, i cant use custom ringtone and i dont know why and so ****ing frustrating.
So, i set my .mp3 file in settings - sounds and vibrations- ringtone.
But when someone calls me lollipop ringtone is ringing....
ROM is original 12.5.1
i bought 2 phone yesterday. 1.phone easy setup the mp3 file works good. 2. phone i setup the mp3 file and does not work.
any idea?
Can not help but have the same problem.
The only ones where work are those who were originally there.
Rom: newest did not now number Phone:6/128
Same here (two phones, one with the same problem). In the one with the problem, the configuration of an older Xiaomi phone was copied over (using BT) during the initial setup.
Did you have any success resolving this?
Try full wipe ( factory reset)
I read it on another forum and worked for someone.
Try app AirDroid from play store. It have function to set ringtone.
Did anyone solve this problem without using the factory reset?
This is the same for me. So annoying. All the system ringtones are crap. I've tried turning off miui in dev options but that didn't work and I don't want to do a hard reset. I've successfully set custom rtones for all my main contacts, that helps but it isn't the solution.

Stereo Bluetooth Earbud issue

Hello all, I hope this message finds you well.
Recently I bought a new pair of TWS earbuds, BlitzWolf BW-FPE1 and I'm having trouble connecting and playing sound in both of them at the very same time.
Actually when I connect both of them in the smartphone, I can see them connected at the bluetooth screen and I can also see both of them as available options to play audio from the Android sound settings. But as this is a pair of TWS earbuds, both should be connected together and play stereo audio.
What is actually happening is that this Android version (and I presume this is the reason) does not allow me to select them both at the same time. I can only use one of them at time: the audio will either play in the left OR in the right side. In addicion, I receive both left and right side of the audio in just one part of the earbuds.
And just to make sure the earbuds are working perfectly, I've tested it on a Samsung M51 running Android 11 and the latest One UI version (can't recall the version right now) and in the Android audio settings there were on screen a radiobutton to select both of the buds at the same time.
Can someone really confirm that this is a limitation in Android 11 stock version or if there is any kind of workaround to make the earbuds work together?
Thanks in advance!
Try clearing the system cache.
Try a network reset.
A cheap trick that fixes a lot of issues.
If that doesn't work try reinstalling their app, try clearing the data first. Reboot.
Check connectivity setting in settings.
Check bt settings in Developer options as well.
Any other 3rd party sound apps? Try in safe mode. Any you uninstalled*?
Try a hard reboot (simulates pulling battery).
Do not do a factory reset unless you did a major firmware upgrade without doing a reset.
Find the root cause, otherwise it's likely to reoccur.
Play with it... you will find the cause.
Google search for same issue on that brand of device (Motorola), include other OS's/device models in those searches. More than likely you're not the first.
*if an app changed hidden user settings, a factory reset may be needed. This is rare but can happen. Poorly coded ones sometimes will not toggle back hidden settings to their default value.
Sometimes reinstalling the app can allow you to change that value in the app's settings, then uninstall that app again

First of all, thanks for replying!
Well, these earbuds do not have any particular app for configuration or use (and I as long as I looked in the user's guide and Playstore, there is no particular app for them).
I've already checked settings regarding to Bluetooth on Developer options and changed some of them after sometime researching on Google, restarting the smartphone afterwards but no one solved the problem.
I'll take another look into system cache and network reset, hoping this will really solve my problem. Otherwise, the only explanation would be a limitation on the stock version of Android v11.
Many times a network reset is all that's needed.
Clear system cache.
I hate Android 11 but haven't seen this as being one of its known issues.
I have the same situation. the online manual solve it for me
Recover to Default Setting​When Bluetooth is not connected and in a single headset state, press the touch key 5 times to clear all pairing information, the red and blue lights flash 3 times at the same time, put the earphones in the charging box, then you can pick up the left and right headsets from the charging box for -MS pairing.
