Anyone know of a fix for the ringtones/notification tones not sticking on GSB? I've had this problem since CM added "profiles". Just flashed v2.6 last night and haven't had a phone call yet to see if it persists.
Edit...Don't answer......I went a little crazy and built up my post count so I could post my question on the GSB thread..
sorry but i'm just gonna use this thread i started to boost my post count so i can post my question on the GSB thread.
I don't like this 10 post thing
there has been so many times I've had something to say but couldn't because I didn't have enough posts
three more posts....almost there
two more posts.....I think I can

Well, I'll give you credit. It's better than posting useless things in other and/or dead threads!
Bumping this for Posts, And to find out if you ever got that ringtone thing figured out?
I've been having problems with this ever since I installed GSB, and am about at my wits end.
I've tried the following:
Set with Handcent, Group ringtone, and Contact Group Manager.
Convert all to .ogg format and then same as above.
Push all the ogg files to /system/media/audio/ringtones and chmod 644 on all
AND set with the previous methods, as well as individually with both android system and Handcent picker.
Ive also disabled DSP manager, but that didnt' seem to affect it. neither did full wipes/reinstall.
I even backed up the SD card, did a 3 pass overwrite in windows, and then formatted it in recovery, mounted USB, copied the files, flashed fresh 3.2, gapps, and cache2cache and rebooted completely fresh, and pushed all the ogg files back to system and they still don't stick.

Rather than doing that, just put them in the SD card in a folder called /ringtones or /audio/ringtones or /media/audio/ringtones (you get the picture, I hope). Don't bother with chmod. What happens then?
That doesn't work either. That's where I started from, with the media/audio/ringtone folder on my sd card, and it worked fine there on every other rom I've used until I started using GSB.
If I could get this ringtone thing worked out, it'd be perfect. I hate having to look at the phone to see who's calling.
I may have figured this out. I noticed it wastaking a long time to "wake up" when the phone rang so I played with the clock setting and had to drop it down to 710 from 748, bit it seems to be working so far.

That didn't work. Worked fine yesterday,but today it just plays the default ringtone for all calls.
This is getting really irritating.

Still not working right. I can't figure this out for the life of me. I've been having this problem since v2.9 of GSB, and it's continuing right up to the new 3.4 ODEx version.
Last weekend I reformatted the SD card, wiped the phone, and put a fresh install of XtrSense 5.01 on and the ringtones worked fine, so I wiped the sd card again, and installed the brand new version of GSB when it was released, and the second call i recieved went to the default ringtone :/
well, this makes 10 posts, so I can go ask the man himself now.
You're not the only one having this issue, and I too believe I started noticing it around the time that the profiles were introduced into CM....
I don't know what it could be. I've tried removing profiles, converting everything to .ogg and sticking it in the system/media/audio/(ringtones/alarms/notifications) folders, freezing DSP, Overclocking, underclocking.
actually alarms and notifications work fine, its just ringtones. :/

Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer help with this. I've had my Atrix since launch and there's been about 4 times now (all seemingly after i've hooked the phone to computer with either phone portal, windows sync, or mass storage) where the assigned ringtones for contacts and even my regular ringtone has been changed or reassigned to some random song from my library. I don't know if there's something to hooking it up and it messes with the memory that juggles the ringtones/songs or what. Does anyone else have this problem and if so, has it been addressed/fixed? Thanks in advance for any help offered.
I have the exact same issue and have been posting about it on the Motorola forum as well. Over there the Motorola folks ask you questions and try to get a fix out to everyone, so please check it out if you haven't already.
My issue has happened a lot morethan yours it seems, however, I use extra batteries, so the phone reboots more often.
This is what I posted over there a little while ago:
Internal phone storage keeps disappearing
The "Disappearing ringtones" discussion was closed and merged with this one, but my issue is not the same as the internal memory being wiped.
My files are still on the card and internal memory, but the contacts, alarms, messaging, calendar, etc apps can't remember the tones I set.
I have copied the files to the following locations with the same issue recurring:
/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
/system/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
/sdcard/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
/sdcard/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
/sdcard-ext/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
/sdcard-ext/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)
Even after moving them with RootExporer to the "non-mountable" storage (/system) they are still reassigning and setting to "unknown".
Possibly related issue. The playlists I create with MixZing, winAmp, and astro are empty are the phone reboots.
Occasionally I get the "no files" error when I check the mounted card in file manager, but if I manualy unmount and remount the card, they are still there.
I keep missing calls, texts and having my alarms "silent". This is getting frustrating. I bought the Atrix on launch day so I need to exchange NOW if that is what is needed.
Other than the above and the losing data connection issue, I LOVE THIS PHONE
Yeah, i've placed my ringtones (all .m4a format) on both the internal/external memory slots and for some reason, when it gets hooked up i'm in the same boat you are...very frustrating i've missed calls and messages as well. surprising that no one from Moto has a resolution for it...
I've run into the same problem, and was planning on moving 'em into the /system/media folder...but it sounds like that won't fix it. Drats.
I've had this issue as well. The random song problem seems to only affect contacts I have set up with a custom tone. No telling what song/sound will play for which contact. Otherwise it has simply changed my default ringtone to a particular mp3 that then becomes the default tone. Really weird.
I do still have the issue with the files in the /system folder, but much less. So I would try them there to lessen the problem. Westill need a complete fix though.
This issue is still a problem. There are even some apps that can't see the files on the internal card or external card. Even after the OTA update this problem is driving me crazy.
I think you dont hear about this issue more because some people dont connect there phone to the computer or remove the battery often. It seems to be a problem with reading the info off the card when it is remounted. On my captivate when I remounted the card it would always scan the card. This phone doesn't.
Any ideas.
Yeah I had this problem too. Was the only thing, and I mean the only thing I didn't like about this phone. I found the only way to fix it is to root the phone and move your personal ringtones to the '/system/media/audio/ringtones' folder using Root Explorer (you can buy it oin the market. Great app BTW). This solved all my problems. I know it's not "right" but it works great. Now I have zero problems with this phone.

In Root Explorer, at the top, hit the R/W button.
Ive mounted to the computer often, resboot every day, pull battery every now and then.. I dont have this problem. Ever try Ringdroid?
Alright, before I had issues with my ringtones changing randomly. After experimenting with file locations, which loader I was using (I use Handcent SMS for text), and so on, I read up on the forums and the issue seemed to be with the SD card. So, I took everything off of my 32GB SD card, and reformatted it fully, rather than "Quick formatting". It took forever, so I really don't want to have to do that every two months.
About a month later, this started happening again (keep in mind, the first time I was on stock, the second time I was rooted w/ Steelrom), so now that I had root access, I downloaded AntTek explorer (app), and moved my ringtones and notifications to the proper folders on the phone's memory
([Device Root>system>Media>audio>notifications] for notifications, and [Device Root>system>Media>audio>Ringtones] for ringtones, respectfully).
I added about 12 new ringtones, and 45 new notifications (people text me more than they call me).
It was working great for a bit. All of my ringtones still go off every time, which is good, but my notifications only go off about half the time, and the other half, my phone remains silent. The phone remembers the right files, and when I click "Test Notification", it plays the sound out loud. Yet, two minutes later, and when a text message comes in, my phone just vibrates.
Help? Maybe there's some kind of indexing file I need to edit or something..?
EDIT: Whoops, I meant to post in the Q&A section... Can a mod please move this..?

Yes, and it doesn't fix it :/
Can anyone confirm this bug? I just picked up my replacement Inc 4G due to various issues. However, this one sticks.
Click on the Music app or go in through settings, personalize, sounds and set a custom ringtone.
Now, restart the phone.
Is it still there or is it gone? It's gone for me every single time.
You can also plug it in to your computer, mount as disk drive and then charge only. It reverts back to the stock tones here too.
Note: Default factory tones work but customs tones do not after a restart.
HTC has noted the bug since they can't help me.

Works fine for me. Are you running any third-party apps that deal with ringtones/notifications?
Interesting. No I am not. Are your tones mp3, wav or something else? Also, what folder are they coming from (sd storage folder, phone storage, etc.) Thanks in advance!

A little late, but yes, I did have this problem and actually got so frustrated by it, I returned the phone. My replacement phone seemed to be ok until today, when I had to reinstall my RUU (stock ROM) and now it won't recognize ANY of my custom ringtones, even though they're still clearly visible on my SD card. Furthermore, there is no message in the notification bar when it boots up "Preparing SD card" like I believe there used to be. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
I think HTC dropped the ball on this phone.... so many bugs :/

It's a day later and I'm still having no luck getting the phone to see my custom ringtones, which I've basically carried around with me from phone to phone over the years. I thought maybe copying them into the pre-installed folders that were installed on my SD card (alarms, ringtones, notifications) would help, but that didn't work either.
Before that they were in the standard setup for the OG Incredible: Media>Audio>Ringtones, etc, which always worked fine, and worked fine on this phone until my recent issues and having to reinstall stock RUU. Flashed Viper 2.0 last night, however, and custom ringtones still not showing up.
Note: I've unmounted and remounted SD card several times, done battery pulls, and all physical files are visible using Astro. Just not visible when I try to set them via the Personalize Setting.
Any thoughts? Thanks

Put them in the same folder as other ringtones I think its system/media. Change permission to match the others reboot profit?

I had this problem for a while, too.
Try putting your custom ringtones in

I've also noticed that my SD card is not being recognized in the Gallery either (none of my previous camera shots are visible). (I'm running Viper 2.0. I'll check the Viper threads when I get home to see if there are any threads related to this)
I actually don't see System Folders on neither the phone, the internal storage nor my SD card, which is kind of odd since I remember those folders clearly on other phones. A few days ago, I "accidentally" did a system wipe from TWRP, as I was used to using CWM, and got a little hasty. I hope that didn't wipe out crucial folders.
After not being able to find System folders, I did move my notifications to internal storage into the folders which came with the phone, but no luck. (Which was suggested above by Junkmail19)
I'm definitely having some issues at the moment, so I'm going to restore back to Stock and see if that helps at all. Thanks for any further insight you or anyone else can add.
P.S. Just restored back to Stock, and gallery is back, but custom ringtones still not accessible. I sure do miss those guys....

I finally got this going. Thanks for your suggestion. That's what worked. Just wondering why suddenly after unlocking/root, my custom notifications were no longer recognized on either the external or internal SD?
Does everyone have to (or will have to) move custom ringtones to the System Folder? It seems kind of odd, and I was just curious if anyone had an explanation why or is it just a singular quirk of my particular phone?

Hi all...I have been flashing for about a year now and I need help finding a JB Rom that works correctly. I have tried a few different ones, and most won't show my pictures or music even after I followed the guides to fix these issues. So I flashed Miui JB latest Rom and its real nice, but no BLN?? So, which JB Rom is stable for you with working GPS, mms, and shows no issue with music or picture files...AND has working BLN? If I could just find a kernel that would work with the MIUI JB rom to enable BLN I would be golden...alas, I can't find one and Devil won't work. Thanks guys!
I've been on AOKP 9-20 with Devil 1.5.2 with almost no issues. The only problem I was having was a few force-closes while using the camera, although after a few reboots it seems to have gone away. I plan to flash the new AOKP build 3 later on, which people are having great results with. I was on CM10 for a long time before this and everything was working perfectly, but I came back to AOKP mainly because Devil didn't work that great with CM10 and I missed blinking notifications and better performance options.
tl;dr AOKP or CM10 are both great

Hey thanks for responding! You haven't had issues with losing pictures or music files?? They are on the sdcard but no music player can see them...same as pictures, although QuickPic seems able to pull them up...I flashed the latest CM10 nightly, no music no pics...went back to stock and worked up to AOKP nightly, same issue! Got mad and flashed Miui JB and poof everything showed! Weird! I followed some of the guides I found through search for how to fix the issue but nothing worked...no problems with this for you though??
EDIT: I clean flashed AOKP build 3 and NO music or pictures!!! Going to flash the Devil and see if that makes any difference.
Yeah I've have no issues with pictures or music on any rom I've tried, however I'm no longer using the sd card that came with the phone. I had an issue mounting the sd card when I originally started flashing my phone (I had zero issues with the card before that time) and decided right away to buy a better sd card before flashing anything else. I ended up getting a 32GB class 10 which has been flawless. So basically the only thing I could think might be going on might be related to the sd card failing, especially if you're still using the junky one they give you with the phone initially.

I have the same sdcard I don't know, it's all over Google and XDA about this bug...I just feel like the only person on a fascinate that has it! Thanks for giving me some input tho!
If I were in your spot I'd probably try a different sd card if you have one available to try, or backup all contents of your sd card to your PC, format the sd card, and then transfer everything back.

LOL I tried that too. I honestly did everything I could think of or every tweak I found...that's why I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a JB rom that did not have this issue. It's cool though, I started using Google Music...transferred my music onto my pc and uploaded to Google music site. Then every time I update AOKP, I just will get the app and it will download the music to my cell. Not a perfect solution but it's tolerable! As far as pix, as long as I use Quick Pic they show up just fine. Of course I have to use a third party camera app since the AOKP camera won't work since gallery isn't. Thanks for any help!
I remember there being an issue with rom manager creating a .nomedia 'hidden' file:::: here is from a post of what I did to fix that issue::
Yep I was having this issue too,,, yesterday I had tried clearing the gallery cache and data,,, today I 1st tried clearing the media storage cache and data,,, hoping maybe just possibly that would help ... but it didn't... Also Tried both of my SD Rescan widgets, but neither worked ... so I uninstalled the ROM manager update which took me from 5.0.1.5 and asked me if I wanted:: " to replace this app with the factory version " which I clicked ""OK"" and that put it back to version 5.0.1.1 ,,,
then I cleared :: media storage,,, gallery,,, and Apollo :: cache and data ,,, and rebooted .... wallaha!!! gallery shows properly!!... THANKS everyone ,,,
,,,may have been slightly overkill but I what the heck,, just in case gallery and Apollo had anything hanging around ...
Now you were saying that when you flashed MUIU everything worked? I wonder if you could pull the Camera.apk from that rom and install it on AOKP to see if it'll work

Same issue here, happened a couple of cm10 nightlies ago. Never had a problem before, there were no reports of it happening to others but only a few of my pictures loaded, no music was recognized, neither were my custom ringtones, or videos. ODINed back to stock and it carried back to that... no idea how to fix it... although I think it is an sd card issue, the phone just isn't recognizing there being media on the card or only partially. Namely because if I pull the ringtone from sd and place in the ringtone folder in /system they appear. Tried just about everything, specially after hearing about the Rom Manager issue with .nomedia's being placed were it shouldn't have.
Other things I've noticed is that, an app like Root Explorer can access my sd and recognize the files inside to which I can select and use, but even after opening the picture/song/video they still don't show up in their respective apps. Also note, I have reformatted my sd card and ODINed back to stock to start over with no luck in either. I've since installed Rom Manager with no luck either.

Hmm I wonder? But how would that have any effect on the music part of it? Honestly I can live without the stock camera and gallery, its the fact that all my music is missing is the worst part...
Does MUIU have it's own music player? I never used it, so I don't know. If it does, take the apk from the rom and put it on AOKP to see if your music shows up. I wonder if this is just a glitch that hasn't been addressed simply because not that many people have encountered it. Perhaps this is a big enough issue to be posted in the general Q&A forums? Maybe that way you'll get more views and possibly better answers from people on other devices that may have got this bug.
I believe JB puts something on the sd card so ics and below won't show all of the media. I went back to JB and everything shows up fine.

Yup, that's exactly how mine is...I can see the files on root explorer or if I usb to pc but no matter what app I use to play music it says no music found on sdcard. I've used rescan app, moved onto pc and then formatted sd, blah blah. Nothing works. Oh well, it isn't enough to make me leave AOKP...I just work around it and wait for a fix I tried cm10 nightly, cm10 8/19, and a few others...same issue. Also if I use an mp3 downloader it will complete the download but when I try to play the song, it's NOT found! Crazy. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
using steves sept 27 build of aokp with devil 1.6 is my favorite and daily driver right now. only issue thats a serious problem is if you turn it on while its off and plugged in charging, it has a SOD or completely dies when i lock the screen. simple fix, turn on, as soon as you see samsung logo plug it in. this also fixes having no soft keys if you get that every now and then. no issues with with the gallery, camera, music or anything. i always odin back to GB stock and then go forward with THS build 2 of ics, then JB, then google apps and boot, restart to recovery then flash the kernel. im seriously impressed with this build

can you actually access and open the files if you mount the sd card in your computer? dont quote me but im betting on the sd card being near the end of its life
You think? Its just weird since if i flash anything else recent JB it all shows up fine...it started when i went from cm10 8/19 build (from rootzwiki) to the cm10 nightlies on the cyanogen site...and persists if i go back to stock and flash up to aokp JB or JB whatever. Then as soon as i flash the newest jb miui --whomp there it is! Strangest issue ever.

It could be a coincidence but it wouldn't hurt to try swapping SD cards if you have another laying around. They're also dirt cheap on amazon now too
Did you try this? Found it doing some google searching
The Internet said:
This trick didn't work for me. So, I did what the system should have done with the .nomedia file present. I moved all of my photos to a hidden folder (with a . before the name) and removed the DCIM folder. Then, I looked for all instances of the .nomedia file (Root Explorer helped) and deleted them. Rebooted the phone. Started Gallery. Waited for 10 minutes. Voila! Gallery showed every little image file that was on /sdcard. To remove the files that I didn't want to see, I copied the .nomedia file from a random system folder and pasted it into all the folders that I didn't want indexed. Strangely though, moving even one of the original /sdcard/DCIM/Camera files from the hidden folder into the current Camera folder took Gallery down. Stranger that this also made the Internal Storage show a blank window when I connected the phone to my laptop. Almost positive that this has to do with JellyBean creating a /storage/sdcard0 folder that's linked to the older /sdcard folder. Looking it up and will post updates if I find any.
Update: The same trick works for Paranoid Android's JellyBean ROMs (even the latest 2.13) for the Galaxy Nexus. Something to do with the DCIM folder and how it is handled by Media Storage. A Linux-geek friend of mine confirms this has to do with the /sdcard0 symlinking. Although, why we need something like that is beyond my limited knowledge of the OS.

Yes a root explorer and look for all those hidden .nomedia files and delete those ,,, and copy over an alternate .nomedia that was not associated with the sd card,,, that was one of them tricks :thumbup:
Sent from my swagger
I have extracted some of the notification and ringtones that I like from other JB builds to use in CNA 3.6.6 and placed them in system/media/audio/notifications or system/media/audio/ringtones as appropriate. I have also set permissions to rw-r--r-- on the files I added.
My question is what else do I need to do so they show up on the list where I actually choose what tone I want to use. The only ones that are visible on the list are the ones that came standard with CNA 3.6.6.
All files are in ogg format and after doing the above steps they do not stick after a reboot. What has happened is after reboot they are not listed or, if they are, they will dissappear. I discovered this after setting them and then missing calls after a while. When this happened I checked in the sound settings and the tone listed was either "unkown" or a number was there instead of the tone I selected. This happens with apps that are part of the ROM and with third party apps. This issue does not happen if I stick with the stock choices. I also did not experience this with Froyo or GB builds, only with ICS and JB.
Thanks
Make a 'Notifications' and 'Ringtones' folder on the root of your SD card. Place the files there, reboot.
That is where I moved them from for the same reason. I was thinking having them in /system/media/audio/notifications or /ringtones would fix it. I'll give it a shot and see.

Thought id just throw it out there as a last resort. Third party apps sometimes will do the trick. Been using this one for some time now. Give it a go if need be and see if it helps.

Try going into the music player and re-scanning your library. That or go into your storage section and allow it to re-scan there.

I did this ^^^ and put the tones back on the SD card as Acvice suggested and it is working fine again. Thanks for the suggestions!!
For those who are curious, I found a better fix for this.
I have bounced around a little recently (CM7, AOKP, Liquid Smooth) and I came back to CNA 3.6.6. Well, I had to copy and paste some ringtones and notification tones into the ROM again so I could have the ones I really like.
So, I did the following:
Copy and paste the ones I wanted into /system/media/audio/notifications or system/media//audio/ringtones as needed.
Change permissions to rw-r--r--
Now, at this point they did not show up in the list when I went to choose them until after reboot. BUT, would disappear and reappear at random. When they disappeared my phone would not ring audibly because it "lost" the associated ringtone or notification tone.
So, I place them in the root of the sd card and I could choose them from there. But doing this had problems, too. If you connect to a pc the sd card would not be accessible by the phone. So what happens? The phone doesn't ring audibly because it "lost" the association to the ringtone on the sd card and I would have to go into settings and choose it again. It was getting to be a headache.
This time, I made a discovery. Using root explorer, I changed ownership on the newly transplanted ringtones. The new setting is as follows:
Owner: 0-root
Group: 0-root.
The old setting were system 1015 and sd card. Under the new ownership everything works perfect so far. I can connect to pc via usb, reboot, or whatever and the assigned sound setting stays put.
Hope this helps anyone who has had the sane issue!
