this thread i guess should be on the cyanogen developer thread, but i'm a noob & can't bost there.
there's a few similar threads for different phones & different OS'es including windows mobile, but not for the aria. closest to what i'm seeing is this htc diamond thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461809&page=2
alas, the phone will ring (&vibrate) for a brief second on the 1st incoming call after a reboot. thereafter, it does not ring at all. i was on cyanogen 6 when i noticed this, and upgraded to 7rc thinking that the system wipe / os-change would cure the ailment. it didn't.
originally i noticed this when playing with custom ringtones, but at least once custom tones were tried, no ring even with the htc/cyanogen ringtones.
at the tail of the thread i quoted someone says:
"copy ringtone to music in phone memory..and one thing only the cut edited mp3 can play.. i think.. mine now ok.."
but that's a bit vague. music? means the directory that has your mp3's? really, the phone memory? or the sdCard? besides this sounds like a workaround - all the tones that show up on the selection screen should work.
who's seeing this? anyone found a cure?

firstly, no, this doesn't belong in the developer section. you put it in the right section.
secondly, have you tried copying your ringtones to your internal memory (i.e. NOT sdcard)?
thirdly, can you play music? is it possible that it's a hardware issue (i.e. speaker)?
zervic - thanks for picking up this thread.
1stly - ok, great.
2ndly - what's the path in the internal memory for ringtones? the pre-built ones i assume are there and the symptoms are the same, so not sure if this will help.
3rdly - yes, music plays fine, or the ringtones play fine if i'm on the ringtone selector screen.

not sure of the path off the top of my head, you'll need root explorer to be able to see anything "outside" of your sdcard. check the root of your sd card for a media folder or something like that...that's kind of odd that music would play fine but not your ringtone when you're getting a call.
i do hv root explorer, but so far have not found the ringtone path - i looked around a bit there.
also, the status bar is flashing a muted speaker icon when the line stops ringing, though not during when it should be ringing.
i suspect that some setting is awry. could be one of the apps that manipulates the ringing, or remnants thereof. but i did already try to remove all 'of them while trouble-shooting this.
just to wrap up this thread: i went to the nightly builds, version 12 now, i think. yes, wiping all the data/caches.
instead of restoring my titanium backups in one go like i did going to RC1, i'm now doing it one by one.
so far the phone is still ringing. i guess we'll never know what caused it not to in the first place.

Hi Everyone.
I have had my X1 for over a month now and been searching for a resolution to my problem and found nothing.
I have a set of ringtones I have been useing for a few years now and used them with my previous WM Touch Diamond.
With X1 however, I set the rington/ alarm tone/ SMS tone and even alarm tone in G-Alarm and none of these is actually played when needed.
I set my favorite ringtone and when smn calls me a different tone is used, not the one I set up.
I set my favorive sound for a new text/ email and when I get a text or email again my sound is not used, just a different one.
Same thing happens with G-Alarm. I set it up with an alarm sound I like and it does not use it.
Is there any resolution to this problem? Has anyone had the same problem?
The only thing I think of is that you placed your sound files in the wrong place.
I would put it on main memory, not memory card..
And also check if the sound files formats are supported by SE.

I just put all the sounds in main maemory and will wait a few days to se how it works.
P.S. Even from meory card they were 'visible' in Sounds & Notifications settings, so there should be no problems.
I am not certain about support formats, but if they play when I set them in Sounds & Notifications then why would the be incompatible.
Ok, I see.
So I don't really know.
You see, just after I got my Xperia, I set my sounds and left them how they are till today.
Maybe you installed some mods which influence this?

So far so good, it is working fine now.
I am just really puzzled by this. These sounds from SD Card should also work, but well, if I have to keep them in internal memory, that is fine with me.
I'm having an issue getting ringtones located in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ to be recognized by the system, while those same files in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ works fine.
bangsters 1.5 but I don't think this has anything to do with the specific build...
is this a known issue that is another one of those things that everyone knows about and assumes that everyone else knows, so it is never mentioned?
In Android, you need to use some apps like Ringdroid or Ringo to trim and save the ringtones as ringtones or notification tone then you can set them as ur ringtone or notification tone
Uhm... did you read the first post?
I understand how to get them to work off the sdcard, without using any such app.
The problem is that they don't read off the internal data image.
bump.
this is getting really irritating, that I have to reset my ringtones and notifications after entering usb mass storage mode...

What the heck are you talking about? Your totally out in left field on this one.
Now I'm having random chunks of my audiobook being set as the ringtone and\or notification ringtone....
anyone? any ideas?
This has been happening on the latest bangsters, hyperdroid.
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,
Sometimes there are ringtones I set, sometimes they change to default ones (quite quiet, then I usually can't hear the phone ringing), then there are again my set ringtones.
Any tip or anyone has the same problem of ringtones changing themselves?
PLK
Is this happening when you have your phone plugged in or something?
Describe it better, please.
no rules. Just changes during the day when I walk with a phone. Sometimes it rings with my set ringtones, sometimes with default.
I had that with my LG Optimus but I've not had the X8 long enough to find out if it does the same yet. I think it's an Android thing, not a phone thing though.

Thanks Troute,
It could be Android. So I wonder if anyone else has the same with 2.1.

Maybe it's because of file of your ringtone.
Try to set low bitrate,short, mp3 sound as your ringtone and look if problem will remain or not.
If your ringtones are saved on your sdcard there may be disconection between phone and card, so android loads default ringtones.
Thanks all, I will try your suggestions and return back

Hello,
perhaps default ringtone could be change thruw build.prop (for ROOT)
ro.config.alarm_alert=Alarm_Classic.ogg ?
I have similar problem with custom ringtones assigned to specific contact.
Sometimes it works but sometimes i hear my custom ringtone assigned to all incoming calls.
I tried lower bitrate, change filetype to OGG and move ringtones to internal memory - it helped a bit but the problem persists - sometimes custom contact ringtones simply doesnt load.
Nothing helps - problem persists. I suppose it is a firmware (Android) problem with x8
And did you try pasting your ringtones directly into the phone memory not the card?
As title says, I am suddenly unable to set any ringtone, notification, etc on my ICS Android (HD2).
The files are there (in phone memory - \system\media\ringtones), the phone is rooted and the file permissions are fine.
But yet the ringtones do not appear in the respective lists in Settings.
Powering off does not seem to help.
Any ideas?
copy from other rom
copy from other roms ring tones to your file
Thx, but that doesn't make any sense to me.
I already have my ringtone files on my PC and I could easily re-upload them in the proper folder on the Android. But when I do so, they still do not appear...Used to work fine...
Anyone? Thx
Same pb
Hello,
I am having almost the same problem.
Sometimes impossible to find the rings while they are still on the phone.
Often, the system is in read / open and not read / write, after a reboot or two, everything falls into place.
But I do not know whence can this problem.
Good luck and tell us if you find
Franky
try an app like ring tone maker.
works like a charm for finding files and using them for rings/notifications etc
am using American Android Rom and ring tone maker to set the rings
Such programs usually store their ringtone files on the SD Card, which is not what I am looking for.
I want my files loaded from the memory - and they are already there and worked before, that's what pisses me off..
