I have an S10e from tmobile with the new android 10 OS. I used to be able to copy an mp3 to the folder named"Notifications" in the internal memory. This would enable that mp3 to be listed as a notification sound choice. SInce my update this is no longer the case. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you

Hi, I always do exactly the same. I copied the notification sounds in the Notifications folder and the mp3's for ringtones in Music folder on internal memory. Restart the phone and they should be seen by your device.

the sounds on my TP2 come out fine, but when someone calls i don't hear my ringtones... no files work, not .wav, .mp3, .wma... need advice, trying to avoid a hard reset, which would be a last chance guess anyways
can anyone give advice? thanks
I know if the phone is connected to the computer via "disk drive" and your ringtones are off your SD card, it will not play the ringtones as the SD card shows as missing on the phone when connected by that method.
other wise, any sound problems I've had due to programs messing up the OS I just hard reseted. most of the stuff I have installed or need backed up is on my sd card, so loading everything is not a problem since there is way less workload compared to formatting a computer.
Maybe you have your ring volume down all of the way but your system volume up?
Go to sounds and notifications to set your ringtone and see if you have the ring type on just vibrate or something? Just mess around with the settings until you can get it to work.

you had better put sound files in internal rom, you can put ringtones for call, message or email in my document, but ringtones for alarm only support wav file
if you put ringtones in storage card, something may happend that ringtone would not work
my apologies to u all for the delayed reponse... it appears to be the now infamous "Ring Tone Error" message, that states all my files are corrupt... nothing to do with the volume itself... any advice? i've been googling for a workaround, as opposed to a hard reset, but my patience is wearing thin on this issue
thanks guys
Most bizarre thing I have ever seen. I connect my Inspire to my PC as a hard drive. Copy music to it but when I try to access the music from the phone, the folder is empty. I can copy ZIP files or APK files to the phone with no problem. But the MP3 files magically disappear. I have copied music to it before. I even formated it again. It lets me copy everything except the music. I tried fixing permissions but still it does it. Anyone ever experience anything like this?
I have kinda the same problem. My phone does not display anything when i click on the music app icon it says there is none even though the my file manager shows there are? My Ringtones are the same way, I've even reformatted the card twice now and it still says there are no mp3's on my card.
A lil more info would help like, what rom, stock, rooted, etc...
Copied all my songs onto internal memory, music player says that it cant play the file types, they are all mp3's...however poweramp works fine and plays all of them. Anyone else having this issue?
I don't know why you would put media on the internal memory. I have 8Gb of mp3's on my external sd and have no issues with the stock music player and Power Amp also works well.

It has 16GB internal..what else would you do with 16gb's of space, besides media? Anyhow I rebooted and it started working fine, so I guess I should of tried that before ever posting.
well at least now we know reboot after copying media files to internal memory. lol
I think it has to rescan the media card after all those songs are put into the internal memory. rebooting forces rescanning.
ALSO you guys should download Music PLayer 3.0 beta from Google. It works on Froyo but not on the JVB JVH cappy's hahahaha... its a nice bonus
Having same issues, with a twist.
I like custom ringtones. So, I did what I have done for all previous android phones. I placed two folders (ringtones and notifications) on the 16 gig internal memory partition. I set up my custom ringtone via settings and imported my music. All was well. I tested out the ringtone and had several phones calls. About two hours later though, I looked at my phone and noticed I had some missed calls. That was odd, as the phone was sitting right next to me. I went to settings and none of my custom ringtones would work, just the stock ones. I also tested out music player and it said invalid format for every one of my mp3's. Doubletwist simply said the file could not be found. The only one that would play them was Moboplayer. I rebooted the phone and everything started working again. So, I thought it was a fluke. Turns out, another 6 hours later, same thing happened again. I had added no new files, etc. My custom ringtones and mp3's simply quit working and again, only Moboplayer would play my mp3's. This is all fixed by a reboot though. However, I shouldn't have to reboot every few hours because I'm afraid my ringtones will quit working. Any ideas? Sorry this was so long.
This started doing the exact same thing to me a couple of days ago. All of my music, videos, an customer ringtones stop playing. I have tried several different music players and they all receive an error that they cannot play the music type. Restart the phone, and bam, everything plays normally. Later in the day, it comes right back. Any suggestions?

How do you have your media folder setup?
I switched from a droid incredible that pretty much neglected the internal memory and favored the external memory.
Now the opposite is how the gs3 works not sure if it is a samsung method vs htc method or if htc newer phones do it that way too.
I guess i should sum my problem up.
I have ring tones and mp3s i want to show up in the menu with any other ringtones. And i know all that is wrong is i dont know the proper directory structure or it is not setup to check directory structure on the sd card.
From how i can tell it does use the same structure but just does not check the external card.
The way it seems to be setup
is
root/storage/sdcard0 (internal)
root/storage/sdcard1 (external)
In sdcard0 (this works)
media/ringtones
in sdcard1 (this does not)
media/audio/ringtones
media/ringtones
Is it possible to switch which folder is looked at like can i switch the internal and external sdcard?
making it
root/storage/sdcard0 (external)
root/storage/sdcard1 (internal)
This is how I have my custom sounds set up:
For ringtones:
/storage/sdcard0/Ringtones
and
/storage/extSdCard/Ringtones
For alarms
/storage/sdcard0/Alarms
and
/storage/extSdCard/Alarms
etc...
Seems to automatically read just fine from both internal and external sd. I've never tried using the media directory for anything (facebook stuck a notification sound in there but that's about it).
I can't seem to add custom ringtones
I've several 30second .mp3s in the ringtone folder on the internal storage, I've re-booted and sound picker has storage access permission.
But there are no extra ringtones listed in the list and clicking on the '+' symbol but then get the message 'no content available'
Anybody got any ideas
I don't know mine just changed fine

I just copied the MP3's to internal storage /ringtones and /notifications. They should show up in sound picker at the bottom of the list. Check sound picker' permissions and make sure it has access to media. Good luck

Is access to storage the same as access to media?
I managed it by using a physical cable to drop them into the ringtone folder, strange I couldn't do it through transfer from cloud storage. Must be some file registration/scan issue I don't understand
had a similar issue when i could not see some videos i downloaded on the phone memory through USB (MTP) connection from the pc. Had to reboot the phone to make them appear. I think it was related to media scan service
