Hello, first excuse my English, I'll try my best to explain with sense.
I uninstalled some .apk with the android sdk (rm XXX), but nothing which was related with ringtones in my mind. But when I rebooted my phone, I can't anymore select a notification sound or a ringtone...I noticed that the LED can't light anymore too.
I deleted some useful .apk seemingly, maybe someone here know which one it is ?
Thnks, bye bye !
EDIT : when I browse /system/media/audio/, I can find every notifications sounds with a .mp3 extension.

Normally when I receive an email or a text message. WM5 allows me to get a sound alarm and a visual pop up notification. The problem is that the sound only happens once on initial receiving of the message. And if I am not around the device I would miss the sound alarm. And if I dont open up the device to see if any messages are there I would not read them for a long period. The light flashing is not covering my needs.
What I would like to do is..
When initial message received ( text or email only , not phone ) from a particular sender, have the device play the standard receiving sound, then assuming I missed the initial arriving alarms every 5 minutes after receiving the message play a another ( different WAV ) to say message received but not yet opened or viewed. This reminder alarm would stop one either opening of message or by myself turning it off.
Or can one do this in WM5 that I have not yet worked out.
Any ideas
Should have done more searching on google
I found this little tool : http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
Looks goog, can any one pass comments on it.
Pocket Max Alarm is a good tool for alarms, reminders or waking up to your choice of music as your alarm sound.
However, I dont believe it affects phone related sounds. Therefore I would suggest your best option may be to play around in Settings > Sounds and Notifications. Perhaps try the flashing light option? It seems to be a professional way of letting you know you have something to look at on your phone.
Anyway just a suggestion hope something works out.

This product does exactly what it sounds it should do.
It provides profiles so you can store all settings vol,sound,backlight etc
and provides repeating alarms for "phone notifications" ie sms/mms/email/missed/voice calls etc.
It does not alter the normal notification sounds like calender or task alarms for that you need their other product called alarm today (i think its called)

Yep your exactly right I was thinking of Alarm today. My bad, problem solved thread and case closed.
My M5000 rings alarmonly once, can I change in somewhere to repeat? so far didn't find place. In my Tornado I found this place.

Try a search with "alarm"
Hope it helps,
Hello,
So i recently hard reseted my phone because my texting wasnt working. Now my ringtones don't work....
When i access them through the Sense interface (setting>sound&display>notification sounds) all of them seem to be working fine. This meaning that when i click on each ringtone and preview them, they play a sound etc.
However, when i access the ringtones through the windows mobile interface (setting>menu>all setting>sounds¬ifications>notifications) and attempt to play a ringtone, either it doesnt play at all, or it gives me the error "This ringtone fie is corrupted or unavailable. Please choose a different ringtone." It only does this for specific ringtones and not all of them..
I don't know whats going on.. Any ideas anyone? I havent really done any tweaking to my phone at all..
I really really really dont want to have to do another hard reset
Thanks
I have similar issue on two devices.
Did you use Phonealarm?
Hi, today my HD2 started to behave oddly - when receiving a call the screen wakes up as normal but no sound nor vibration (as preset) comes with it. The same goes for any other alert - SMS, e-mail...When I try to change the tones of any alert the common preview while selecting doesn't cannot be heard. Even worse, when I tried to play any music from my library with Windows Media Player it started to skip quickly from song to song without playing a note, stopped at the end of the playlist. When I tried TCPMP it work without any problem - music and video.
Any suggestion before I will be forced to proceed to the next logical step - Hard Reset? BTW I am on stock ROM 1.66.479.2 (76641)WWE, I didn't install anything new recently nor have beeb experimenting with any SW.
Thank you in advance.
ive had issues with sounds when setting the system temp locations to a location that doest exist (experimenting with a ramdisk, but i suspect the pricipal would be teh same). maybe some kind of system temp location corruption?
hunt down all you can find on clearing temp locations. start uninstalling apps one by one,
(personally id backup and go for a straight hard reset for the hour it takes to be fully fundtional again vs the hours spent fault finding.)
I think I have your fix ...
I just came across this thread and thought I'd answer immmediately because I, too, have sufferred from this issue in the past. It took me a while to figure out why, but I did. Give me about 5 minutes to collect my information, and then I'll respond again...

Here it is ...
I have a document that I've prepared in Microsoft Word to store all the handy registry tweaks and solutions to previous problems. Here's the entry for what I believe is your problem:
Sounds or Ringing or Vibration Don’t Work
There MUST be a directory called Volatile here:
Mobile Device\Application Data\Volatile
YOU MUST SOFT RESET AFTER CREATING THIS DIRECTORY
The "Volatile" directory can be empty as long as it's there within the main device Application directory.
Peter
Thank you very much, will share the result
I face to same problem using HD2, thank you. your point is help me to fixed.
Whoa, you just saved me from a hard reset thanks alot Peter.
PETER HTC you are great! Thanx man!
Thanks I fixed it too
Hey all. Coming from a BB 6 months ago I still find new things about the Dinc that I love. Now that I'm rooted and running a custom ROM it's even better, but there is 1 thing that is Annoying the crap out of me. I want a professional sounding ring for when I'm those business environments, but this rings like its on steroids. Why is it that when I select the stock ringtone Standard 1, this thing constantly loops when I have an incoming call. I want something that rings like a normal phone (ring..pause..ring..pause..,etc.). Is there anyway to change that? I don't really want to go find an app to do it for me. I remember seeing a thread that you can go into the menu (## and a few numbers) and change the delay of the first ring, but can you do that to space the rings apart or create a pause? Can anyone help? Thanks.
Try this ringtone. It is a old phone sound but has a blank at the end to achieve what you want
You will need to rename it to .mp3 since I changed it to txt just so I could upload it
Perfect!! thanks on the way NilsP!
If you wanted to do this with another ringtone, use Audacity and add some blank space at the end.

That's actually what I used plus Krystal does a nice job also (guitar player).
I looked around the forum briefly, but I didn't find anything.
I'm currently on CM7 and I really don't care for the system sounds too much. Can someone running a sense Rom grab some files for me? I think you could just copy/paste them to the sd using astro. I'd like the alarm "snooze" (I sleep through cm7s buzzer sound ),the notification sound "major" (sounds like the super Mario 1up shroom), and there's a ringtone that sounds like a digital phone. I can't think of the name, but it's not the old school sounding ring.
Any help would be appreciated.

Download one of the several Sense ROMs on this site, then open the zip file, and go into the media folder and take all the sound files you want.

Duh, I should have known that. It's been a very, very long day...
I still have zips for stock and liberated Roms, will have to dig them out tomorrow.
Thanks!
