I have quite a large delay in the audio notification sounding after the phone vibrates on receiving a text. I added a folder called "notifications" to the root of my microsdcard and stored some audio files in there and selected one of these files for my sms notification.
When I select a default sound within the phone itself the sound is instant.
I have a class 4 Sandisk 8Gb card.
Does a class6 card cure this? Is there a way to store audio files on the (non rooted) phone? Is there any other way around this delay?
All answers are very much appreciated. Thank you.
Audio Notification delays - possibly resolved
I made a backup of the card, reformatted from within the Hero, then copied everything back on.
The notifications are now instant!
I will update this thread if it reverts back to a delay.

Hi all, HELP!!!
I have just spent 4 weeks setting up my phone, i have everything just as i want it.
But i noticed today when i received some txt messages it was silent, now when i select any sound for anything, ie events or ringtones its just silent, i hear nothing???.
If i move the volume slider i here the ping sound of the volume changing, so there is sound.
Now, if i go to the all settings menu, and try to assign a sound in the windows menu, when i click on a sound it shuffles through the entire list and stops back where it was in a second, almost like it cant find the sounds or something weird is going on???
Now this happened once before, and i restored using a SPB backup, but this time i have overwritten my backup with this before i realized what had happened.
Whats going on??????
Update, when i select a ringtone from the menu, and select it, when i go back on the menu it says ringtone "none"
???
I'm also having a similar issue with my HD2 (using 1.61 WWE rom).
The phone rings when I receive an incoming call but not when I get a txt. I can select a tone in Settings - Sound & Display - Notification Sounds and it will play the demo. My settings are saved but it just doesn't make a noise when I get a txt.
Any clues, anyone?
No this is different, i have no sounds at all, no ringtones, nothing, its as if they are just not there, the sounds are still in the windows DIR, but something looks different on the DOR layout, im sure the sounds were stored somewhere else too.
If i have to reformat my phone because of this im gonna freak damit, as this is not the first time.
Can anybody upload an image of the root DIR layout, or let me know of the sounds are stored anywhere else but the WIN DIR?
PS Where you get the 1.61 WWE rom?
I found a fix, use mem maid to transfer temp files to the storage card, including sounds, when you rebbot, it reverts to main memory but your sounds work again

/edit: you are my HERO!! Thanks, it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NP I found it by mistake.
Havent been on android in a long while... and cant remember the process.
BUT how do you change your ringtones to using MP3s. I remember that you are suppose to put it in a certain folder, but which one and where in the directory.
Thanks
they go in:
/sdcard/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/audio/notifications
/sdcard/audio/alarms

the problem is ... theres no sdcard/// well i mean audio subfolder
Yes, there is. The storage partition is mounted as /sdcard. Just create the audio subfolder and throw your mp3s in there.

thanks... I thought I had to put it in the directory with all the original ringtones.
There's a little trick if you use winamp:
when playing the ringtone, set it as ringtone:

Odd ringtone behavior
I've noticed an issue with my custom ringtones: the phone's ringtone resets to a default tone by itself.
I have a few mp3 ringtones and notification tones stored in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones (and notifications). I will select the ringtone I want in settings, but after a while the phone reverts back to a default ringtone. When I go back to check my settings, none of the custom ringtones are listed. It's as if the phone doesn't see them on the internal SD card.
Most times, a reboot will clear it up; however, there doesn't seem to be any indication as to why my custom ringtone settings are lost.
I'm sure the mp3 files are OK, as I've used them before on a variety of android phones.
Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior? Any ideas what might cause this issue?
Thanks,

Do you keep your contacts on the phone, the sim, or synced with Google? That might provide a clue.
I have had this happen before. Usually as a result of unmounting the internal storage. Easiest fix (doesn't take that long) if your rooted is to just adb push them to the rom. You can do it on a stock rooted rom, then do a titanium backup and in the future it will push them to whatever rom your on. But no, to answer your question, I'm not sure what causes it but it's easier to just push them once and forget about them since they take up so little space.
Everything is synched with Google.
I'll try the root and push to rom solution.
Thanks

i have the same problem, and everything's synced to Google as well. Every time I mound my SD and unmount it the ringtones get mixed up or reset.
Looks as if the internal sdcard is unmounting automatically. When I lose my ringtones, looks as if I can't launch any apps I've moved over the sdcard. Strange.
Ringtone problem...Changes?
I don't know if i'm just drinking too much or if it's doing it on it's own but does anyone notice that the ringtone changes to a different one every day? I Use my own MP3 and they are no longer than 30 seconds but every day, it will set itself to a different tone....hmmm
I have noticed that I also notice that my SMS tones also change and this has to do if and when I actually connect to the USB and mount the USB.
Same here.
There seems to be a slew of issues with this phone, of which the list seems to grow by the day. It's a huge deterrent.
Is it my imagination, or are there more issues with this release than a typical phone release? It really supports what I believe was a rushed product by Google/Sammy.
i love the phone no doubt but the ringtone thing bugs me a lot. i can never tell when my phone is ringing. i been using the same tone forever.....30 days to return it if purchased at full price....thinking thinking thinking.
I have the same issue. Well issues being reported. I like the phone, for this being my first dive into Android but damn. I think this might be more of a FAIL then the N1.
I'm really thinking of returning it to Best Buy. But what phone to get? Stock Android is awesome and with fast updates it is a toss up.
Anyone else having the issue with wanting to ditch it but yet what other phone on the market will be stock android?
Well at least we all have a few more weeks to think about it.
heard someone say that the 2.3.1 update fixes it
[Q] ringtone folder?
where do i put ringtones on the nexus S? i made a folder under media so its like media>audio>ringtone but for somereason it did not recognize it. where do i put ringtones, notifications, alarms?
Hi,
i rooted my Neo lately (based on 2.3.2 Gingerbreak and OTA to latest 368) and removed the junk (facebook related stuff, the golf game etc). All works well and the device works nice and smooth.
One strange thing I noticed is the ringtone and notification sound selection. I also removed quite a few ringtones I don't like and only kept 10 sound each for ringtones, notification and alarm. The system partition has more space free too so those ogg files are really gone. The funny thing is that the selection list now has every sound 2 or 3 times (and not once each) and even those that were removed are still there and playing. And that is AFTER a full wipe.
Any idea where they are coming from? I mean its working well and once set up I really don't bother how that list looks. But it quite funny that the device still sees and plays sounds that were completely removed from those directories.
Or does the system notice the backup directories of the same name on the sd card?
Have you tried to reboot your phone and see if the ringtones and notification sounds are still there? Because when I add/remove those things, I have to reboot my Arc to see the changes.
The device is actually seeing the backup folders on the SD card. After I zipped those an deleted the ogg files on the card, they were gone in the list too after a reboot. So as long as you have folders like 'ringtone' oder 'notification' on the card, the ogg files in there will be in the list too.
Hi;
In 4.4.2 I had replaced /system/media/S_Whistle.ogg with a different .ogg file that played a different sound.
In 5.0 I can replace this file but that damn whistle sound still plays.
I have made sure the permissions are fine. In Snapchat and Airdroid (the apps I notice still whistle) I have cleared the cache.
Is there a new location in Lollipop where notification sounds are stored?
I have, naturally, changed the default notification sound in Android Settings, but this only changes half the sounds.
Please help me get rid of that horrible whistle sound.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
Hi;
Turns out the way to do it is to make a notification sound with .OGG format and select it via the 'Notification ringtone' menu, and make sure it's on an external SD card.
The way it was before (presumably because it was an MP3 file) I was sometimes getting the custom sound and sometimes getting the whistle, which was annoying.
Either way, I fixed it, so this thread can be closed.
Hi,
I wonder if anyone else has this weird issue.
I have a new Galaxy S8 running stock 7.0 (Samsung experience 8.1).
I have a bunch of custom notification and ringtone files in the /sdcard/Notifications and /sdcard/Ringtones folders respectively. All sounds are MP3s with 320Kbps CBR, 48K sampling rate.
I replaced the default ringtone and Default notification sound with the custom ones, just to discover that they are being reverted back to Samsung standard ones ("Over the horizon" ringtone, and "Conga" notification) after some random time.
I have set the custom sounds multiple times over and over by now, rebooted the phone multiple times. Custom notifications are there after reboot, but then they are reverted after some time.
I can't find any rhyme or reason why that would happen.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Anatoli
Move the files to internal storage. Had this issue a few years ago and that was the solution.

Thank you for your reply!
The files are already in the internal storage.
I think I found the culprit - sound profile switching app.
Since I migrated from my previous phone, the profiles point to old sound files. So when the profile app tries to switch to a non-existing sound, a default sound is used instead. Arrrggggghhhhhh! The price of having too many apps.
I wonder what other pains this migration will cause.
