Hi guys,
I got my new HTC Magic about a week ago and I've been having problems setting custom ringtones. I trimmed an MP3 file using RingDroid to use as my ringtone and then I selected that as my ringtone. All was fine and well.
Then a bit later I turned off my phone (was in an exam) and then when I turned it on again, I noticed that the ringtone had been reset to a default one that came with the phone, in this case the one titled "Highway". I thought maybe this was a fluke so I chose my custom MP3 file again as my ringtone and all was well again....until I had to restart my phone again. Again, it reset the ringtone on its own to "Highway". So I thought maybe this wasn't a fluke, and chose my MP3 as my ringtone, restarted the phone right away and again it changed the ringtone to "Highway".
I thought this was only happening to MP3 files so I decided to change the ringtone to another default ringtone that came with the phone. I chose a generic telephoen ring and it set that as the ringtone just fine...until I restarted the phone. It reset the ringtone back to "Highway".
So my question is, how do I fix this annoying problem?
I talked to HTC support and they said to choose my ringtone via the music player but that didn't help. I sent an e-mail as well to HTC Support but have not heard back from them yet.
No solutions???
Which ROM are you running? My t-mobile mytouch 3g tends to keep settings intact after reboot.
I keep losing my ringtone settings after having mounted my phone via USB...
no solution to this?
I have the same thing with Galaxy S Plus (i9001).

For Galaxy S Plus (i9001), all you need to do is to copy the ringtone file from your external SD card to internal SD card. It seems that android looks for the ringtone file before external SD scan is complete and since external SD is not available when it is looking for your ringtone, it just reset it to default.
I presume other phones with this problem might be the same.

Hi All,
Since upgrading to Windows Mobile 2003 SE I have been experiencing a really annoying problem where the ring tone resets to the default "BASS" ring instead of the one I set. The one I want normally stays set for a while but after a day or so I find that it has reset back. The strange thing is that I don't hear the BASS ring tone at all, the phone vibrates but the phone is silent. That is the worst thing because I can't tell when i'm getting a phone call!
I have tried doing a hard reset on the phone but the problem remains. Everything was fine before upgrading to Second Edition I don't want to have to go back.
Anyone have any ideas what is going wrong here?
Many thanks,
Richard.
I'm amazed that no one else has seen this problem on an XDA II. I just have the standard WM2003SE downloaded from this site.
Its driving me nuts. Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Richard.
next time post on the right place plz
If your setting using MP3 for your ring tone, you should set windows media player for your default mp3 player. Otherwise the ring tone keeps resetting to default bass.
hope it can help
Thanks for the reply. I'm using .wav ringtones rather than mp3 ringtones though.
Cheers,
Richard.
ok I have a HTC Trinity and I signed up for Cingular prepaid service. Now each time I make a call and I am done I get an alert saying how many minutes I have used up. It shows up as a notification at the top of my screen and it makes an Alert sound. Now I contacted Cingular and they say the alert is built into their system and they cannot disable it. What is strange is that even when I set my sounds the off and i mute my phone the alert still makes the alert sound! I do not mind the alert showing but not being able to disable the sound at all is annoying. I have tried my sim card in my HTC Trinity and a HTC Hermes running Windows Mobile 6 so it is not like an OS or Phone issue. How come this particular alert cannot be muted? I know I cannot disable the alert itself but surely there is a way to set it so that it doesnt make the alert notification sound every time even when my phone is on vibrate or completely muted?
I spent quite some time trying to do this and I just now figured out a way...
I used ActiveSync to explore to \windows under 'My Device' and copied notify.wav to my desktop. I then used an audio editor to make it silent and copied it back.
Now when I get the notifications it still plays the notify.wav but it is silent. You could change it to any sound you wanted.
Hope that helps save someone time...
ok I tried this and I edited notify.wav and made it silent and copied it back, but now it makes this weird short beeping sound, even though when I play notify.wav it is silent. I think maybe the new notify.wav I created is not in the right format?
Could you post the silent wav you created that worked? Please? The sound drives me crazy especially when I am sleeping at night while charging my phone
Hi everyone. A few times now my ringtones have changed on their own. Not only my general ringtone, but some ringtones assigned to contacts. So for example I have a ringtone set to my wifes name, but she called while I was on a bike ride and when the call came in it played the tone that I have set for my cousin. When I go into my wifes contact info, sure enough it had the incorrect ringtone. This same thing happened with the ringtone I had assigned to my parents number, but with a completely random song in my music library.
Can anyone tell me why this might be happening and what I can do to correct it?
I greatly appreciate any help provided.
This happened to me once. There seems to be some bugs in the music player. It must have triggered the "set this as ringtone".
This happens to me too. It sets random tones for the main ringtone. So all of a sudden my phone will be playing a song and that is my ringtone.
My phone does this too... it changes my ringtone song to another random song in my music folder. I noticed it when a not work appropriate song started playing in front of my supervisor.
I think I read somewhere that this happens after unmounting the sd card.

That's correct. What happens is the ring tones/notification/alarm sounds stored in /sdcard/media aren't accessible when you plug in your phone to your PC (Or unmount the internal media partition for some other random reason) so it defaults everything to anything that it can so it still makes a sound when events happen. To avoid this you can move everything in your /sdcard/media folder to the internal phone storage in /system/media and this wont happen anymore. Hope this helps anyone
built in player?
This is not the most relevant reply to this problem, but I strongly advise everyone who uses the stock player to just try powerAMP.
The experience is close to what I like about my dektop Winamp... and your problem will go away as well.
I too have the random ring tone change. Makes sense that its related to the sd mount unmoint (and that stupid noise).
I also find that suddenly programs on my launcher change tobweird icons and don't work.
Another weirdo. Sometimes my phone becomes totally unresponsive mid sentence typing and I have to touch power then re enter my 4 digit code.

lol, so...any solution ahead??
Are you guys using cache cleaners?

The problem stems from some issue with unmounting and mounting the internal and SD memory. Putting my tones on the internal memory does not solve the issue. Since both the internal and SD cards unmount when you plug into the computer, the problem occurs on both. This problem is such a pain in the ass. I move less music to my Atrix as a result because I never want to plug my phone into my computer.
Is there some USB connection setting that might mitigate this?
I was using a song in my music library as my ringtone but i didnt change the ringtone back to a default when i removed all of my songs for Google's Online Music app. Now, even when I choose another ringtone or notification sound and set the ringer to full volume, nothing plays when i get a notification or a phone call. I tried to update my rom (CM 7.0.0 to CM 7.0.3) and put the same old song back on but neither of those worked. I also attempted to get another ringtone app (Zedge) but that still didnt work. This is causing me serious problems and the only way I can tell if someone calls me is if i have my vibrate on, and that still isnt that helpful. Has anyone had this problem and/or fixed it without a factory reset?
I have an MP3 clip as the ringtone, works fine no issues but every week or so I notice the ringtone has changed to a standard windows sound and the reminder settings switches off vibrate.
I've not found any other settings changed just those two and can't think of anything being done on the phone prior to the problem that could cause it.
Any ideas...

Maybe you delete the file

No file is still there, I simply select it again and everything back to normal. It's the reminder that's annoying, it turns off the sound (a standard alarm sound) and just has vibrate which I don't always notice.
Do you connect your phone via Active Sync and then choose "diskdrive"?
I've had the same problem and noticed this happened when i connected to a computer using this option. You probably have this ringtone stored on your SD-card.
When connecting your phone as a diskdrive to your computer the sd-card becomes ïnvisible for your phone (you can't access it anymore from your phone). I guess this is why the phone automatically switches the ringtone back to standard.
Solution: store your desired ringtone on the internal memory.
good luck
Great, thanks for the tip I will check and if so move the mp3 clip to phone memory.
Thanks
