I was trying to change my ringtone and when i tried to look at all the ringtones i had, only a few that i downloaded came up. All the default ones were gone and I can't find them anywhere. Can someone tell me what might have happened and how i can get them back?
I'm not quite sure what you did but they are stored in /system/media/ringtones
you can put the droid 3 ones in there if you want some default ringtones to fall back on.
if they are in there and you just cant see them when you go to change your ring tone download rescan media root from the market and run that
Ok thanks I got them back

Bit of a strange one.. When I try and set a custom ringtone for a call, I can't because it doesn't show any other than the system defaults but it does show the custom ring tones for all of the notifications such as text/email/system notifications...
Any ideas to why? If there is another topic for this please point me that direction for it?
No one else had this then? Just me?

This was an issue on my Motorola Milestone.
For me all I needed to do was create a folder called “ringtones” (all lower case) and it found them. Haven't had time to put them on the Atrix, but I'm sure it's the exact same procedure...

I have this folder, that's the bizarre bit. They show up under every other status ringtone selection other than the actual ringing tone menu lol?
U should try Ring Extended.. It works for me.. search on the market.
if you are using gingerblur / gladiatrix reboot the phone and you will see the ringtones. these scripts have an option enabled to stop updating some folders on the phone.

This is occuring on a non-rooted phone, and it was fine until I plugged it into the computer and unplugged it again and since I haven't been able to fix it lol.
And I don't want to use an app for a basic system function. I've managed to manually set it through winamp anyway now.
I am experiencing the same issue. I'll use a 3rd party app to assign a ringtone (like ringdroid or mp3 ringtone maker) and it use that ringtone for a while and then magically revert back to the the phone's default ringtone at some point.
Hey guys, in older android phones there was a "set as ringtone" option that you would find by going to the song settings>set as>ringtone. The option seems to have been excluded from the at&t variant. From what ive read the option was there in the international version. Ive read that the alternative is to copy the song to the proper folder.
You can choose a music file from any folder when you do it from the contacts menu. Giving a contact their own ringtone. You're limited to the size though. Just tried it and I think it said the limit was 300kb.
Aw man I wish they hadn't taken that feauture away

Use Ringdroid. It will let you choose a specific part of a song, then save it and it becomes a choice in ringtones.
Check out Rings Extended aswell. It actually replaces your normal ringtone menu, letting you pic any sound file on your phone.
It's also a menu option in double twist while listening to any song.

Ive used ringdroid and found that it works well enough. I now find the matter closed.. thanks guys=)
Hi All,
I'm trying to set a normal ringtone on my S3, one that just goes 'ring ring'.
There doesn't appear to be one included in the stock ROM? Surely that cant be right?
If i haven't missed a stock tone, can i add a custom mp3 of a 'ring ring' phone without the use of an app?
If not can i have a list of recommended apps for this please.

Make folders on your pc with the heirachy system>media>audio>ringtones.
Put your custom mp3 in the ringtones folder, copy and paste to phone. Done.
There are apps that assign a ringtone from any file on your phone, but I've never tried them.
You don't need to do that. There's already a folder called Ringtones on the phone. Just copy any mp3 into there and you can select it as a Ring tone.
I know there's already a folkder called ringtones on the phone...
Out of curiosity I tried your way and it didn't work for me. I've used "my" way since my SGS1 days.

Phone ring tones .

Thanks lads.
I couldn't believe samsung hadn't included 'normal' ringtones but found some on Zedge from the play store.
Anyone know how to change the touch tones?

Since the other day,whenever a contact phones me,only the default phones ringtone would play-not the one I saved.
This happens on GB/ICS and JB.I can change the contact ringtone and save it,but that makes no difference.
Ive tried all I know and even selecting a different inbuilt .ogg file doesnt change the tone either-whatever default tone plays.
Only thing I think it could be is a .nomedia file problem somewhere on the phone,but Im stumped as Ive reflashed the phone and formatted usb storage and still no joy.

U everytime use same kernel?
Do u test different contacts?
It's only on google/Sim or phone contacts? - Did u test other contects?
Using an app to set the ringtones for each contact or directly via android?
CHEERS

Its on everything(you cant set ringtones for sim contacts btw).Ive tried on all contacts and even created new ones to test-just the same.
Am back on GB,and I noticed that in settings>sound>phone ringtone...when I change the ringtone it still shows "set default incoming call ringtone".I could get the tone I selected shown in that area when I was on ics/jb.....but made no difference.
Ive done wipes on internal and external storage,contacts,media..but still the problems remain.
Gb=siyah 2.6.14
Ics=siyah 4.0.1

Ok that's really strange, never heard about a prob like that.
Last option is to try on stock or another Rom (did u use the same rom on each android versions?)
If this also won't bring a better result I've no idea more atm, sry.
Much success
CHEERS

Yeah it had me stumped also,I farted about for 6 hours trying different roms and kernels/settings.
When I tried my sons sim card in the phone,the tones worked ok.When I tried my sim in his phone,the tones worked.It just seemed that my sim in my phone combo failed.
Anyway my wife found a workaround.She used the music app and set the caller tone through that.She set message tone/notification tone through ringpod app.So now I can get the tones I want.
Cheers
Hey maybe change the ringtone for a contact!RestArt and try it again!
Which Rom do usw?

Hi everyone, I recently removed the stock music player due to the fact that I never use it, but it has created a conflict with me being able to change my ringtones. When I click the plus sign logo, it says "No applications can perform this action. Enable disabled built-in application?" I press OK, but nothing happens. I'm assuming because it needs the default music player to be reinstalled? So if anyone has the stock music player, please upload it or please assist me with how to fix this error. Thanks in advance.
use a ring tone maker app from the play store, or place songs in Ringtones folder so they can be chosen from settings.

Okay, thanks for that, but I still want my stock music app... I don't want my phone to give me an error message when I press the plus sign in ringtones, I think it's because I removed it...

not sure what model l9 you have but this should work. FYI you can get any app or etc from the kdz (look at my signature for the guide).
here's the LG G2 music player, I like its interface better, and it has the same functions. just push it to system and change permissions to r-w-r-r:

Cannot add rintone or notifaction sounds
I have the same problem, I removed the stock music app on my LG-F3 Android phone because it was interfering with my preferred player. Now I cant add Ringtones or sounds to my phone. It says 'No Application can perform this action. Enable disabled built-in application?' But there is no app to re-inable and I cannot find a copy of the stock app. Any able to help? The above apk. does not install on my F3 and the other link is no longer active.

Same problem, same phone. I don't know the cause - the stock music app has been disabled forever, but I always could still add new ringtones. This is all of a sudden, in the past couple days. If I click 're-enable' OK, nothing happens - I can click it again and again. If I go to the system Music app (under Settings ---> Apps), it shows as Enabled, but shows 0.00 KB as its size, and 0.00 cache, 0.00 data, - no nothing. I have lots in my Ringtones folder, but can't get to them, and no other Ringtone app seems to help. Re-installing the Android stock Music app didn't do any good, either.
Thanks
One solution

Wow, where did you find the stock music app to reinstall, I have been looking all over for it.
The only thing I found that works for using custom ringtones and notification sounds now is an app called 'Ringtone Setter' it is available from the Play Store, hope that helps you some, it is a roundabout way of doing it, basically it moves/copies the ringtones you want to it's own folder and assigns it from there, seems to work well once you figure it out.

Excellent, cheers for your help, Ringtone Setter worked a treat!
I found stock apps in a few places - I'm not sure at all if any of them are the right ones for our phone, but I just googled "LG Optimus music app". One I found was right here on XDA. I kinda don't trust the background of any of the other ones enough to post in an open forum, but I'll PM you two others that I installed on my phone and tried (to no avail) - they might work for you.
