I have had my Rezound for 30 days today. This morning while driving into work my phone was on the Verizon GPS dock and the died due to low battery. It was the first time I actually let it discharge completely. Later at work I got a call and the ring tone I set up for that person was different. I went into all the contacts I assigned ring tones to and they were all changed. I then opened up GO SMS and all the notifications I had assigned were all changed as well. There does not appear to be any rhyme or reason to the pattern of the changed ring tones and notifications and nothing else on the phone appears to have been affected.
I used to have a problem like that occasionally on my HTC EVO 4G, but that was only when I was restoring some nandroid backups. Obviously that would not be the case with the Rezound, so I am left with a question. Was it an issue with the GPS Dock or the battery discharge completely? Or could it be that it discharged while on the GPS dock? I searched the forum and could not find anyone with this exact same issue so not if this is something new or an old issue. Minor annoyance I guess, but we all know how long it takes setting up your ring tones and notifications.
Mine did the same thing yesterday except that it had a charge.
Then last night it just started boot looping for no reason.

Now that I started looking at the phone it started flickering so I am thinking I might have to do a factory reset to see if that fixes it.

Mine had similar problems, my apn changed on its own and couldnt get a data connection, and my ringtones changed. I reset the apn to default which fixed the data but then I kept getting 1x when my wifes was on 3g. So anyway did a factory reset and everything working great now.
yeah, i thought it was go sms...go was changing my text noise to a SONG in my music folder lol...and my ringtone sometimes changed back to default, but that was because i had my ringtones on the external SD, when they should be on internal..everytime you plug it into the PC, it'll reset to the stock ringtone. but yeah as for tones, idk why that does it.
I am 'glad' I am not the only one, but not sure if I want to do a factory reset in case the phone got boinked or to just reassign the notifications and ring tones. If multiple phones had this issue and it seems to be on the day they had a huge network outage could that be the cause.
I've had issues with notifications changing randomly, generally when it dies or I do a full reset. My favorite was when I missed some important calls because it changed my ringtone to silent. I refuse to do a factory reset, though. Too much hassle, so I periodically check my sounds.

Ugh, my phone wasn't doing this at all. Then I did a factory reset to try to take care of the Mobile Hot Spot issue, and now my notification sounds are changing.
Time for an OTA update, hTC!!
Has anyone been calling Verizon to report this issue? Squeaky wheel gets the oil or else we're just whining to each other on the internet.
isn't it , squeeky wheel gets the grease? lol
Temp Root
This only happens after I temp root. It unmounts the SD card and changes all of my custom ringtones for different contacts.
Leave more info of this buggy issue
My wife had the same issue once!!! But I haven't encountered after that, can you guys leave some info for reference? BTW, if ur custom ringtone is mp3. saved in external storage, did you remove SD card or set disk drive mode while issue happening?
My device
ROM version:1.02.605.6
Issue happened step: Can't repro!!
It's happening to me now and it started when I changed out my battery. Probably just a coincidence. Having to keep fixing ring tones is a pain in the ass.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
I was having the same issue because I was temp rooting a lot. I fixed this by putting the ringtone and notification that I always use into the system/media/audio. This prevents it from changing it to something else, or to nothing selected, when the SD card is unmounted.

Seen this a few times in recent days myself (Unrooted/ Stock). Not 100% sure, but it looks like the SD card is somehow getting ninja unmounted when the battery dies (or is about to die) because i'm also not able to access anything on the SD card after that happens. I'll try to test again today to confirm if this is the actual trigger. For me, a reboot automatically remounts the SD card correctly - restoring any missing ringtones/notifications in apps, without having to manually set up each one. The odd thing is that when this happens, settings > sd & phone storage still shows the SD card as mounted. Also weird: manually unmounting/ remounting the SD card via will let me re-access some files (photos), but ringtone links are still dead. A reboot fully solves the issue until the next occurance. This probably needs to be reported as a bug.
It has been happening to me a lot. Seems like I reboot my phone and at least 1 ringtone will default to Silent.
I just moved all my ringtones and notifications to the system/media folder. I will see if it sticks.

Confirmed yesterday that "about to die" wasn't the trigger. Will try to let it die all the way to see if I can get it to barf again.
I am having this issue also and it is driving me crazy. It is also changing to like a random ringtone and my alarm sound even has changed. I have not hooked it up to my PC in a few days and am not rooted or unlocked. Only thing I can think of is when I rebooted it since I do not let it die very often. I was beginning to think my phone was haunted ;P LOL j/k But seriously it should not do this!!
Same issue with downloaded notification tones and alarm sounds changing and/or resetting. It hasn't happened in a while. I won't speculate the cause at this point. Glad it's not just me.

Let the phone fully die last night. Plugged in & charged to about 75% before I turned it back on. Checked to see if Alarm was able to read SD ringtones. YEEEEUUUUP.
So it seems like this issue is random, which makes it slightly more annoying.
W/e, it's a bug that is somehow related to rebooting & hopefully it will be caught/ fixed by HTC in the next patch. For me, the issue is rare and a manual reboot fixes the borked notifications. I can live with that for a while.
I've had this happen on reboot as well. It, along with the network bootloop issue, seem to be completely random upon reboot and everyone needs to make sure to report these bugs to HTC. These are both VERY annoying!

Hi All,
Had the RAZR about few weeks now. I am rooted, using smart action, but no task manager. Recently I started to notice my tones would change by itself. It started when I first got the RAZR, but I figured, it was just some settings I messed up, but now I am pretty familiar with the phonoe, I am very sure that it is changing tones on it's own. My ringtone was changed yesterday. My alarm was different today. The ringtones are from Zedge. Please help!! Thanks in advance!!
u are not alone im having the same problem too,at first i was thinking that this is bcoz im using ringo pro and zedge but after uninstalling them it's still the same.this is driving me crazy
Mine changed on their own just yesterday. I thought it was weird, but my battery was low so I assumed it was a smart action function that wasn't listed. After I unplugged it, they went back to normal.
Not rooted, and using stock ringtones, smart action samples, and task manager/auto end.

Mine does this occasionally, too. I assumed that it was due to the phone ringing/getting a message while it was charging and not having the selected ringtone available and defaulting to a random standard one, but I could be wrong
You need an exorcist!! :°)
Mine hasn't got any form of demons possession... try to wipe /data and /cache via recovery, this behavior can be caused by an application you've installed from the Market.
It can also be caused by the phone being mounted as a USB drive by a computer (if you have it mounted when charging, for example).
The SD card can't be accessed by both the phone and the computer at the same time. If your ringtones are saved on the SD card and the phone is mounted on the computer, when a notification pops up, the phone can't access the custom ringtone and switches to the default. Once it switches to the default, it's not smart enough to revert back to the custom tone when the phone is unplugged.

Wow! Kudos on getting that figured out! Never would have thought odd that, but that is 100% right!

Phew thought I was the only one. Very strange waking up out of a deep sleep and my thinking thats not my alarm??? It defaulted to the very first MP3 file on the external SD card which would matches beartard explanation

No problem. This is something that affects all Android phones in some way or another. It's not just a RAZR thing.
Mine did his tonight. On stock moto charger/cable on stock phone, stock ringtones. Ring changed to a very basic ringtone. Went back to normal after unplugged. On new .748 update.
Hello together,
i have the European version of the Razr and the very same problem.
Always after using the Razr as USB drive (mounting storage) the ringtone/notification tone/alarm... change to a completly random tone from anywhere... its also using mp3s from games etc. thats very very bad!
It is definitly not switching back to the default tones on the internal storage but to any tone avalable anywhere....
has someone allready an idea how to solve that? I have read in another forum that a system reset will help but I´ve not tried that yet, because i am not shure f that helps.
I have experienced a few times where my default tones for either SMS, Calendar, Voice was automatically changed to a system tone or music file. Not sure if Juice Defender or other 3rd party App is affecting this, so far I have not enabled JD and it seems to alleviate the problem, but, it's only been a day so far. I will wait for a week and see if this works before eliminating other 3rd party Apps.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
I've had that happen when I've had a file set on my SD card as the notification sound, and then later mounted the card to my PC. When you mount the card it sometimes seems to break that stuff and it'll just pick a random file from the phone to play.
Yoda, how did you fix the problem? The last time I unmounted my SD and uploaded the data to my PC was at least a month ago, but, I experienced the problem at least 2 nights ago. I usually go back and picked a default tone after the problem, but, it seems it comes back after a few weeks even without unmounting the SD.
I never fixed it. Mine only does that when I mount the card to the computer. It doesn't just up and do it randomly. Are you running a custom ROM? If so, you may want to try re-flashing it, as there may be a problem.
No I'm not, just stock Vibrant with Froyo 2.2. My problem occurs anytime whether after restarting my phone or just charging. I'm not sure whether the GO Launcher App might be causing the malfunction, I'll try deleting the App and see if that works.
So, I've noticed that my Evo3D won't keep the ringtone settings after a reboot. I downloaded from HTC the "Tint" sound pack and it set everything up. Reboot, all ringtone settings lost. I reapplied, same thing happened. I even tried setting them via settings to those, and still it lost the settings next reboot. What could be causing this? Even ringtone settings for contacts are sometimes getting messed up. Could my SD card be bad?
Well, I've gotta reply to my own thread as I figured out the issue. This will also hopefully help anyone with the same issue. I found out that ESET Mobile Security is the problem causer at hand here. I've contacted them to make them aware of the problem. I tried another SD card with the same issue, then tried removing ESET since it scans at startup, etc and I figured may be causing the problem...I was right.
Morning,
These two annoying glitches seem to be on any Rom I use. It's happened since the day I ever downloaded Roms but never got around to asking people
Issue 1) When I'm dialing a number the screen turns off/times out halfway through. When I switch it on, and go to press the next number it's as if it sees me coming and switches off just as I get near to the number! I've tried the usual settings to change this but to no avail. No doubt there's a simple solution.
Issue 2) Sometimes I think I get no emails or messages. Then when I go in to settings/notifications I see that the ringtone I chose has been unchecked meaning the phone thinks there's no notification to play. This happens with email (exchange) and messages. It seems random but happens about every 3rd day! II then have to manually select the ringtones again.
Any help on these 2 things would be great!
the second issue seems like you have your chosen ringtone at your SD card and the device can't read it sometimes.
the first thing i suggest is to transfer this ringtone to your internal memory under the "notifications" folder so it'll be available for you to choose from.
secondly, maybe you should consider replace your SD or gently clean it

Am sure that was the reason. Have moved them. Thanks!
I've been having this problem for a while, but can't shake it. No matter what ROM I try (including stock!) The phone reboots several times per day. I'll have it just sitting on my desk doing nothing when it suddenly reboots.
Also, if I try using just the phone itself to make a call the person on the other end hears their own voice echoed back to them. The only way to avoid this is to not use the phones mic/speaker. If I plug into the phones audio jack, or connect via blutooth the echo goes away.
At first I thought it was the roms I was using, blaming it on the call record function. But even the stock rom has this issue. I thought maybe upgrading the bootloader/modem would fix it, so I flash NK2, but still have the issues.
What else can I try here? Anyone else experience this? I've search but found nothing but a thread suggesting it might be a corrupt SD card causing the reboots. Pulled the SD card, still reboots. I'm out of ideas.

I do have the echo problem but it doesn't happen often and usually goes away if I just call them back which I think might just be a signal problem.
As far as the rebooting issue, your phone will reboot itself if there is low memory for the phone to function meaning there is something running in the background that you don't necessarily see when you open the recent apps to close. That's why I got task killing apps that help close apps that you don't want running (Clean Master App does it pretty well). As for me the only time I get reboots is when I'm running multiple apps that's a bit intensive causing my phone's memory to drop down to like 300MB +/- 100MB like games plus some messenger apps to talk to people I play with. Worst case scenario is that you going to have to contact Tmo or Samsung for warranty and best case scenario is you just figure out whats running background or clear cache now and then.

Do a full Wipe (Wipe Data, System, Dalvik Cache and Cache) and go back to stock. That's how I solved all of my problems

I think I've read in a couple of threads that if you let it sit for 5 minutes after it comes back up after a full wipe and then just cancel out of all the automatic setup screens, then reboot and set it up manually it seems to fix this. I haven't had the problem so I can't verify this, but hey, anything is worth a try.
Good luck.
