So I set up my ring tones for voice call and notification but when i mount the phone to my computer the ring tone change to something else. If i get a text or email when the phone is mounted, it play a really annoying ring tone and the ring tone would play until i open the text (using the puzzle lock thing). This is bad for me at work when i am away from my phone.
Anyone notice this or know how to fix it? I used the G1 for a long time never have this happened.
Its that way because ring tones are stored on the sd cards and when you are mounted the system can't access them so it uses a default tone. No way of fixing it that I have found.

Sumasage, why do you mount your phone when you're at work? I understand why you might want to plug it in (to keep the battery charged), but unless you're copying data to/from you're phone, you may as well keep it unmounted.
If you are rooted, just use root explorer to copy the ring tone to your /system/media/audio/ringtone
Almost forgot, you will need to reboot.

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
I am using CM RC3..
When a call comes, neither the phone is vibrating nor ringing.. But it is working fine for SMS..
I checked the settings too.. Vibration is on and volume is also full..
What is the problem?
I am not sure why it's doing that, but my phone is working perfectly with my notifications.

The only thing I can think of, short of doing a full wipe and reflash, is to either change the ringtone, or download Rings Extended free from the market. It lets you choose songs on your sdcard for notifications. It might work.
Does anyone know how to disable the sound notification when plugging into USB? I've seen a few posts here and on other sites, but they don't seem to be relevant to the X (I guess some other phones have a "None" or "Silent" option for the notification sound, while the X doesn't).
I also have SD card notification turned off, and USB debugging off, and still no go. I keep my volume turned up so I can hear it ring when I'm in the car or anywhere there's background noise, but when I plug it into USB it plays the "Droid" sound kind of loud. It's bugging me and probably other people near me at work...
Any help?
No ideas? Anyone?
Install Audio Manager and use the widget to reduce the "Alerts" volume. That will leave your "Ringer" volume up to the higher level. Of course, this will lower all of your alerts (incoming text messages, etc), but it leaves your ringer alone.
Thanks, but that's not any better than having it say Droid...then I'll never know it when I get emails/texts, unless I happen to see the blinking light.
I think I'll just deal with it though, it's not a huge issue, and I don't normally plug it in and unplug it that often that it's really a problem...just on occasional annoyance.
It's really annoying that argubly the best Android phone out there lacks features everyother Android phone has.
In your main settings change notification to silent. In gmail settings change the tone to what you want and in your sms change your notification to what you want.

I am unable to get this to work. There is no "silent" notification ringtone. Putting the phone on "silent mode" does exactly what you would expect. I can change individual sounds per application (calendar, text, email, etc) but whatever I have set in the main settings of the phone will be the ringtone for the USB connect. I'd rather not have to create a blank MP3 because that's just dumb that I would have to go that length to do something so simple.
OK, what I did is just change the Notification ringtone to "Look at Me". It's not a perfect solution, but it's much quieter, so I can deal with it.
I know this is an older post but there is a check box for SD card notifications under settings, sound. Just un-check it.

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 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
