Samsung Galaxy S I9100
I have always had assigned its own ringtones for certain contacts or groups, but have the problem on my Samsung Galaxy S ii i9100 that they disappear and all of a sudden turn "stand ringtone" also I define for receiving SMS can suddenly change.
Others with the problem and possible. a solution.
With 4 cell phones in the house is nice to hear the difference
Hi,
maybe this helps:
Create a folder 'media' on your INTERNAL SD Card
Create a folder 'audio' in the folder media
Create the folders 'ringtones', 'notifications' and 'alarms' in the folder audio
Put the MP3s or whatever in the folder you like
Choose the tone
Ready
Worked fine for me
Bye

I have already. My ringtones are already on the external memory card, but I go under my contacts, and select one of these ringtones, then deletes phone them at a time and bring them all back to default ring tone. That is what is my problem.
As I said: They should be on the INTERNAL card...

I've got a similar problem.
My ringtones used to work fine, but now I can only use the standard ones for some reason. I've put my own mp3 ringtone into both /sdcard/ringtones (which used to work), and also in /sdcard/media/ringtones, but it no longer shows up on the list of ringtones to select when I go into settings/sound/phone ringtone.
Anyone else got this or know how to fix it?
Thanks.

worked for me too..thanks.
I actually have 2 folders named: "ringtones" and "notifications" on the external sd card and all the sounds in those folders can be selected as ringtones, notifications or alarm sounds.

Thanks for that - it worked. I thought the "ringtones" folder had to be on the internal SD card. Maybe there's some setting somewhere I don't know about that tells it whether too look on the internal or external card.

I'm a complete android noob, as S2 is my first android device. I had to google info about setting custom mp3 ringtones and everybody said the folder must be on the internal sd. I already had the folders named like that in my HTC Touch HD sd card and surprise... when i put the sd card in the S2 i could set the ringtones. So the folders can be on external sd card too. Doubt the OS has a default option of looking on internal or external sd. It probably searches those folders anywhere, be it internal or external.

Well the strange thing is it used to work with a "ringtones" folder on the internal SD card. Then it stopped working for no reason, but now works with the same folder and mp3 on the external SD card.
Anyway I don't really mind now that I've got my custom ringtone back.

Can anyone help me??
As the internal memory on the handset is not huge i store all my sound files on my 16GB memory card.
Is there anyway i can set my ringtones to include the playing of files from my memory card??
The only way i can get them to play as a ringtone is by placing them in the ringtone folder on the handset but space is very limited.
Thanx
Andy.
yeah, its silly that they wont play from the card. i put photo contact pro on my x1. with this probram u can set ringtones and sms tones for each contact, even files on the sd card

You can put your ringtones in the Storage Card/My Documents/My Ringtones folder and they will be available in the sounds and notifications settings. However for sms you can only use wma files by default on storage card or you can put any mp3 files to /Application Data/Sounds, but that is the internal storage again.
How could I use ringtones from my StorageCard ? I spent three days to solve this problem, but without succes. My 8282 want to have all ringtones in phone memory, then I can use it all . But phone memory is only... we know...
thx for help.

As far as I'm aware your ringtone wether mp3 or wav needs to be on the internal memory and not the storage card.
Copy ringtones to windows/rings
But these shouldn't take up much space on your phone anyhow, plus you couild always crop the length of each tune to minimize the size
create a folder on your SD card called My Documents. Your HD should find all music placed in this folder when you search for ringtones.

My apologies. Wasn't aware of this as I had tried doing this before but put all my ringtones into a folder within My Documents and phone didn't pick them up.
Great to know this, cheers bro
On my storage card my ringtones are in a My Ringtones folder inside My Documents and work fine.

Yeah I have this now, but originally I had this folder called My Rings
Didn't initially realise you had to be precise with the naming. Thought phone would have the ability to pick this up
All ok now though
Glad it worked.
Use file explorer on pda to find the tune (mp3) you want to use. Press and hold with stylus on the file (mp3), box pops up giving you option to set as ring tone. Easy peesy

Am I missing something or is it not possible to use ringtones on your SD card? I checked the HTC site for this and didn't see anything about this.

Try using ringdroid and see where it stores all it's mp3's on your sd card. Then that should be the folder you have to put all your mp3's into in order for them to be selectable.
You just need to create folders. Make folders called ringtones, alarms, notifications and place the sound files that you wish to use in it's folder (i.e. for a ring tone, place an mp3 in the ringtone folder).
Thanks so much for the help, worked like a charm (ringtones folder).
Sorry but a really noob question ..........
Where do I put music and video's so that the default app's find them?
I thought the SD card was 'external_SD' so that's where I put the music folders. But then, when I try to navigate to that on the phone, there's nothing in there. And also, when I open the music app' it doesn't show anything that I've added!!
So can you tell me where you put audio and video files please.
Sorry, I really show know this but it's not something I've done on any of my phones before!
Thanks in advance for you help.
SDCard : Internal Storage ,the 16Gb build in
External SD : The micro SD (T-Flash) you insert into phone
And inside Windows Explorer ,it should be two drives ,say ,Drive E and Drive F ,one is internal ,one is external
Hope this help
I think memory your looking at is the built in memory. I put some video files in the folder marked media and it found them ok. If you want to find the external memory you need to go to settings,wireless and network then usb utilities to connect tovpc. Thenn i just put all my music on there. Again it found them ok.

Right, I've done the music files. I've dumped them in the 'Music' folder in the above screenshot and it appears to have found them. The only annoying thing is that it's sorted each song alphabetically and not by track number!
Now I just need to work out where to put videos.
I also still can't see, from my screenshot of the folder structure above, where my SD card is. If it is that 'external_SD' then why aren't files showing when I explore it on the phone?
And does the Note not play .mov files? I've transferred some across but when trying to open them it states, "No applications can perform this action".

right click, create a folder in the "media" folder called "videos". put your videos in there
I have a Media folder on the SD card that has Audio folder and alarms notifications and ringtones in it. s4 is not picking up on these ... It used to always work for me on older phones.
Any idea how to get them to work?
Thanks!

I put my Alarms, Notifications, and Ringtones folders in the root of the internal storage and the system picked them up just fine (even without a reboot like some of my old devices needed).
To duplicate your setup I just created a media folder on my external SD card and added sounds into a Notifications folder and the phone picked it up right away.
