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
Following for the same answer
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).

What file explorer are you using on GW4? I cannot find one that works in Google Play Store. Thanks

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.

This method works. Thank you.
can confirm that sounds do not show up on phone
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

I just got my fuze and have a few questions:
1) What is the easiest way to get push gmail on here? Is it through IMAP idle?
2) How can I adjust the memory usage so that most of my storage memory is used for current program memory (RAM) as I have a 4gb MicroSD card in there?
3) I've been able to disable the PTT button through the registry, but is there any known way to make it a dedicated button for camera, connection settings, etc?
4) How can I change it so that the whole d-pad and 4 buttons under the screen light up via sensor or at least don't shut off as fast?
5) Is there a way to disable the annoying keyboard that comes up on screen when in landscape mode (e.g. like when in a text input box in a browser window)
6) Is there a way to change the items that are listed under the internet touchflo tab?
7) How can I change the location of the images that are pulled in the photo/videos tab for the flip thru? Like I have customized folders on my memory card that I want it to see for the images.
8) What is the easiest way to autofill a recipient for text messages? I seem to be getting inconsistencies when I hit either enter, down, d-pad down, or d-pad center. Sometimes it autofills it, sometimes it goes to the message entry box and other times it pulls up the phonebook.
9) I did that customize your battery icons *.cab by someone on here and it mad it so that I always have a plugged in icon up top instead of a battery or a percentage. I can't find the *.dll to remove... Any tips?
Thanks, everyone!
Wow, that's a lot of questions that search can answer for you.

The internal storage should be used for installing all applications on. The Memory expantion card should only be used to store cab's, music, pictures, video's etc. It should not be used to run any applications from, it's just too slow.

Someone developed some push settings that can be installed as a service on the device but you have to start the background service every time you restart the phone.
Also - Is it normal that when an alarm or notification (like with the calendar) goes off, there is no pop up notification? I have to actually click the little alarm icon... Kind of annoying?
Not sure on the alarm thing I hate WM alarm I use SPB Clock its got a great alarm on it. Let me know if your "interested" in it.
Can you give me a link on where I can find this push service? I hardly ever rest my phone so thats fine with me

I think you should start by installing advanced configuration tool by Schaps, that will allow you to do amny of the things you listed, and allows remapping of keys, and has a touchflo configuration tool. It won't solve all your problems but it's a start.
As for gmail, i'd check out a beta software available from a company called Seven who make xpressmail for AT&T. Their beta software supports AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, & work email systems for push features. IT's pretty nice. Make sure you get their beta software. I'm using it on my tilt right now, i'll be checking it on my Fuze this afternoon when i get to the store to buy one.
locat the folder its in copy it go to the program files folder and paste a shortcut Rename it if you want. Then add it like you would any other one in the list.
I will PM you when I get home.

The shortcut didnt work. I created it in the my device -> programs folder (which had all subfolders in it) but it doesnt show in the touchflo programs launcher or the menu settings where i can add stuff to the programs menu? Also I have an MP3 in the windows folder but it won't show up in the ringtone settings. Any advice?
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.
Hi all
I'm new to the forum and have just got my first Android phone, a SGS7 and was wondering if you could help me. I've searched around for a resolution but not found one and it's probably a simple nube thing that I just don't get but...
When I go to change the ringtone, an option pops up "Complete action using" then presents the option of either Solid Explorer or Media Storage. I'm tempted to press on Media Storage and see what happens. However, I still don't know where the ringtone files reside on the phone. Are they stored in Media Storage?
This same thing happened when I first got the phone and I fixed it with "Reset Settings" but I really don't want to start over and have to do that, now the phone is all set up with apps etc. Surely the OS should know where the ringtones are, it found them before and I haven't made any changes by putting my own ringtones on the phone, so I don't get why the situation has changed. Any Ideas please?
Thanks a lot

OK, answered my own question. I chose the Media Storage option and all the default ringtones appeared again. So, no longer a problem. Last time this happened, I chose the wrong option (i.e. I chose Solid explorer) and was unable to access the ringtones until I did a "factory data reset" which is why I was asking for advice. I know all this sounds like a dumb waste of time but I still don't know what the **** Media Storage is, or where exactly the default ringtones lurk. But hey, this is my first Android and I will get to the bottom of it all eventually : - )
Got the silence files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66258646&postcount=13
You DO NEED ROOT but its simple.
There are 6 files that need to change in system/media/audio/ui
af_failure.ogg
af_success.ogg
cam_snap_0.ogg
camera_click.ogg
camstart.ogg
camstop.ogg
With a root file manager (root explorer, etc) rename those 6 files to .old and replace with the files in the zip provided. Then just FIX PERMISSIONS and reboot.
Very nice find.
For those without root, i'll add this: I was playing with a camera app last night that was recommended somewhere, cymera maybe? And in it, it had an option to go silent. I turned all my volumes up outside the app, went in, took a picture, zero sound. So that might be an option for others.

Thx, works good.
I have the T-Mobile variant and if my phone is on silent, there is no shutter sound.
I believe this is a way to silence the shutter sound without having to add the step of muting your phone.

Hmm so I'm trying to figure it out but no luck yet. I have the sounds disabled in camera except one. When you long press the take pic button. It does the multiple shots til you let go, the click sound is there. Any idea which sound file that is?

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)
