Hi all,
I'm just having a weird issue with my ringtones. It seems that after I've trimmed a song, and set it as default ringtone, which works fine, as soon as I power off the phone, i lose the ringtone and have to do it again.
Is anyone else having the same problem? I wondered if it gets saved in some sort of temp directory or buffer in the phone somewhere that I need to save permanently to the phone's internal memory or SD card.
Cheers

Yepp,
same problem here, ended up with moving the trimmed one from /.ringtonetrimmer to my MP3 dir and selecting it as ringtone (same place as choosing to trim) from the music player.
Ah OK I'll give that a go, nice one
Yup the /.ringtonetrimmer is useless at present state.

I can set an mp3 as a ringtone, but when I switch the phone off and on again, the ringtone has reset to a default ring.
Anyone know what I need to do?
I have the same problem
My phone is from Orange, where is yours from?
What the hell could the problem be, it makes no sense...
Why dont you download ringdroid from the market its free. It allows you to trim mp3s and create ringtones from them. It will also set a created ringtone as your default ringtone.
Just tested it and no problem after power off.
I used default music player, then menu, set as ringtone and it is working after power off. I got sim free phone.

Thanks for the work-around but I would like to know why my phone has this probem, especially as it may be part of a wider more serious issue...
If anyone else has this issue, please state what model you have.
Edit: Just tried Ringdroid and it works a treat! Still not happy with having to download it though...
My phone is from UK, handtec.co.uk and is a white sim-unlocked. And the ringtone resets to the default after i reboot my phone I will try ringdroid, hope it works.

Currently running the most recent energy rom. My ringtones only play for like 2 seconds then stop, then repeats when someone is calling. I know it cant be the mp3 file itself because it fully plays in my media player. Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks.

I have the same problem with an SMS alert that is about 6 seconds long. Have tried putting the MP3 in phone memory and on storage card. Problem occurs on various ROMs (COM2, COM3 etc). Goes away for a short while after a soft reset.
Must admit, I haven't tried changing the file type to .wav or .wma to see if that helps yet.
I just solved it. I went over to "ring type" in the sound and display menu...it said "ring type: Currently set to: "Other". I changed mine to Ring and vibrate, and that fixed it.
I recently downloaded a soundboard which has .ogg files in it. They worked as ringtones until I plugged my phone into the computer (which unmounted the SD card). But, on remounting it, they still do not work and the phone substitutes in the default pulsation.
How can I fix this problem? the option for the tones still shows up, but upon previewing and actually using them, they play the pulsation sound.
What folder do you have them in?
/sdcard/notifications/
.?
Hello all. I am using a Huawei U8500 with CyanogenMod 7 (2.3.5-Slax-SP10-3) and have been having an issue with ringtones/notification/UI/unlock (a.k.a. all) sounds. Before, none of the sounds (except Music) would work on CM7, but I figured that out. It was the sound profiles that were overriding all my other attempts at resetting volumes.
However, while my sounds were disabled, I used the Music app to set a song as a ringtone to see if the sounds would work again. Now that I have solved the issue with the volumes, every single one of the sounds (again, except music) are replaced with the song that I set as my ringtone. When I go to Settings>Sound and try and select a new sound, all the previews of the sounds are even of that song. I checked the .ogg files in /system/media/audio and they still play the correct sound.
Now for the questions:
-Has anyone encountered this issue or something similar?
-If not, how does Android handle setting a song as a ringtone?
-Does it put the .mp3 file somewhere on the root phone storage? (If so, I could just delete or rename it and hope for the best.)
-Or, does it simply reference the .mp3 file on the SD? (If so, I could rename it so that it wouldn't be able to fetch it.)
Thank you very much for any help!
For everyone who is simply blessed with the "Alone in Kyoto" Samsung Galaxy Note Ad in USA, here is the Ringtone.
Extract the attached mp3 from the rar folder and push with ringdroid or create/add to sdcard/media/audio/ringtones folder and select in ringtones.
Cheers

You can put it almost anywhere on internal sdcard, but watch out trying to put it on external_sd.
i.e. /mnt/sdcard/Ringtones works fine. The problem I can see is trying to read it under /mnt/sdcard/external_sd (which I would prefer)... it fails to read it on external_sd, so only internal sdcard will work for some reason.
Oddly, it reads my notifications fine on external_sd, and they are in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Notifications, nothing fancy.
Very odd issue this...
UPDATE: I realized I had a .nomedia file in my dir on the SD. That allows the media scanner to ignore that dir, if you have a reason to do so. (which I did and had totally forgotten about!) I removed the file and the media scanner properly sees my ringers in any dir I put them on external_sd now.
D'Oh!

I have plenty of ringtones in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Ringtones and I can pick them just fine in both GB and ICS. Mine are both MP3 and M4A format.
I am not sure what is causing your problem, but I would double check your file sizes and song lengths. I always crop mine to 30sec or less. Most times my call goes to voicemail before the ringtone ends.
I really like the song, but it really doesn't work well as a ringtone. It starts way to low and is way too long; gets cut off when the phone stops ringing.
The ringtone has to get my attention right away. This one's lulling me to sleep.
Thanks for the song, though.

The constant bass line (for lack of a better word) is essentially the ringtone for me, the rest of the song is just a warm velvety wrapper around it. I always have my phone next to me, so I prefer the more subtle tones rather than the ones that jerk you out of a deep sleep.
The song is definitely cool though - thanks to OP.
