Notification Sound? - Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers

This may be a stupid question, but on the M8 I could add sounds into the notification folder to use for texts and such. Now, the 10 is not allowing it "read only" it says.
Also, no addition button similar to the ringtones.
Is there something I'm overlooking? Or for a simple sound file move am I going to have to root?

Create a folder anywhere (internal or external) named Notifications, and reboot.
To be clear, you don't have to reboot, but that's the fastest way for the phone to repopulate the notification list with the new sounds.

Wow that was simple. Thank you very much! I've always just put the file in system/media/audio/notificatons and it's worked before. Not this time.
Appreciate it!

I had no problems without root setting up custom notifications on the 10. just copied them over to the folder like you said. don't know why says read only, did you set it by accident in a explorer app?

Peace....
it still doesnt work for me....am I missing something?

No it surprised me too. I'm not sure what was going on. I did the recommendation above but dropped the file in the default Notifications folder instead of making a new one. Worked just fine then.

Thanks for the answer to my issue also. I found a few notification sounds and ringtones from days gone by and wanted to use them. All the best.

Need testers!!!!

hi guys
im trying to make a homescreen and everything else put together into a new theme based on the windows 8/metro ui
so far im pretty much finnished but now im trying to think of a way of transfering the homescreen layout to you guys so you dont have to set it up which took me about 3 hours
so basicly i need a few people on different roms to try this out for me
there should be no bad affects as its just a homescreen but still its not my fault if somthing does happen
so if you still want to help out download this File and unzip it to the root of your sd card folder ( /sdcard )
so make sure the 2 adw files are on your sd card and the folder metro ui is on sd card to
now make sure you have installed both adw launcher
and desktop visualiser which both can be found in market for free i think
now in adw open the settings by pressing the three lines in the top right then open backup and restore
thenpress restore for both settings and layout
restart adw
hopefull now you should have 4 icons on your desktop
2 big ones
2 small ones
btw the full version so far has nearly 100 icons
please report back to if it works

Or is there something that I'm missing in settings that will turn off lock screen notifications? Thanks to anyone that can assist with this.. :thumbup::beer:

If you're rooted hit up your root file browser, go to system> app> delete anything that says widget. I've tried all the lock screen controls and it does nothing to remove them.
[Edit]: Just be aware when you use this method the clock and the user info may also go bye bye.
You can also disable the native lock screen and install a third party with no frills.

Thanks for your reply. When removing the apk you mentioned it also removed the widget I wanted to use instead.

AT&T Software started updating on its own? V42_1_1303_0_5

So I was hanging up on a call and noticed that in the "ongoing" notification, it said"device management - downloading software update, please do not" and had a little notification icon on the bar of 2 arrows facing opposite directions grey/blue one red. I tried to click the notification but got nothing, so I long press and looked at app info. It said AT&T software update Version v42_1_1303_5_1. I have tried searching this exact version number but nothing comes up on here or on google. I shut the phone off until further notice so I can see if this update is going to screw me in any way. Right now I am just rooted w/ TWRP recovery, but I don't want to do anything that locks this phone up. 32gb AT&T S4.
Thanks
EDIT: scratch that, i had written down the version number incorrectly, it is trying to download v42_1_1303_5_1 (not _0_5). Still, does this mess things up bad? trying to read that now.
Also, the watch on app out of nowhere is now putting its remote in the notification pull down at start up without me even touching the application. I like the app and use it from time to time but I havent touched it in a few days and now it is auto-starting on its own, strange.
Hey, I noticed the watch on app doing the same thing on mine. I didn't realize I got an update but my phone did do an unexpected reboot and watch on was running in my notification tray also.

Galaxy S4-I9505-Half of the photos i took appear corrupted

Half of the photos i took appear corrupted and display the same photo whereas in the preview, they display the correct photo. Is there any way to fix it?
Here are some examples, the preview and the photo displayed is different, and the 3 photos are the same:

}
Now this is rather strange, what kind of a memory card are you using and are you using the stock firmware?
Yes I've had this too. It is rather weired issue. I think it might be thumb nails issue. If you delete thumbnails I'm pretty sure it fixed it.

How do you delete thumbnails? Not quite sure how to do it.
Tried to find a thumbnail file/folder, can't find it though.
open 'My Files' app, click menu, then settings, then tick 'show hidden files', then back, then 'All Files', 'Device Storage', then 'DCIM' and delete the folder named '.thumbnails'

Nope still does not work Deleted thumbnails file, cache and data and rebooted phone. Still shows the same corrupted pictures.
damn, can you try a factory reset, do you have a lot of data on it?

Request: How can i change the sound of lock unlock?

Is there a way to change this sound? There is nothing in settings. Perhaps anyone knows in which folder this sound file is?
Thanks,
The only way to change is by changing the "Screen swipe effect" in the Lock Screen Settings when you have swipe to unlock. each swipe effect has a different lock/unlock sound.

Thanks, but i know this.. What i search is if i can change some sound files with other one, and where are .. If i can do this..
You can use a root Explorer and replace the corresponding files in the ui folder. The route to get to that folder is in the screenshot... I would backup files first, though...

Its on System/media/audio/ui. Search the lock screen you want to use. Find any .OGG file from other phones and renamed them for that lock screen. I have the Star Wars sounds for the S pen for Note 3 for lockscreen.
