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.
Hi.
I have strange problem. After connecting my razr to PC, there is a 50% chance that my music will disappear from SD card. That happened again today. Is this some bug in app or in firmware?
Music sync is disabled in MDM, and nothing else will disappear from the memory card. 2.3.6 nonefigsretail
Do you mean that your music player no longer sees any music? Or you've used a file explorer to browse the files on your Razr and the music files are actually gone?
Is the USB Connection set to "mass storage" or Media Device? If it's mass storage, then you won't have access to the internal nor external SD card within your phone until you disconnect or switch to media device.
I've noticed with Media Device, things are not always available. For example, if I go into the phone directly while connected to my PC and I delete files, it won't show up in windows explorer unless I disconnect and connect back. I believe it has to do with the synching not having completed yet.
I guess when you mean "disappear" do you mean it's physically deleted from your phone where it's not there anymore after you disconnect?
Player see only empty info, that there are all albums, but music catalog is empty.
No, all the music simply disappearing from the card. Before connecting the phone to the computer, I checked the contents of the folder with the music and there were 4 GB of data. Connection option was set as "charge only", but somehow my computer sees it and run MDM. After checking is there maybe ICS (yeah, right) and removing from PC the entire contents disappeared.
Ed. Ok, ICS leak installed, so I think the problem is solved in some way.
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'm completely at a loss. I can't seem to find anything that could so much as point me in the right direction for getting this fixed, so here goes.
I put CM 10.1.2 on my 16GB tablet earlier, the installation went relatively smooth (I hope) for someone who knows nothing about Android anything.
Windows doesn't seem to recognize it all if the screen it black (alseep), I think it may be trying to charge over USB? Waking it to the lock screen, Windows will recognize it as a "Portable Media Player" granting me access to the 1GB internal memory (haven't bothered formatting it to give me all 11gigs yet) and my SD card, but I have no option to eject the device or the storage so I'm not particularly keen on accepting this situation.
When I'm in CWM recovery it behaves mostly normally, although I can't access the storage, both internal and SD are listed and I can choose to eject the nook from the device icon in the notification area.
Thanks for your time.
Edit:
Can be closed. Like I said, I know nothing about Android anything. Went to the storage options > three white squares, checked USB mass storage. Haven't tested it yet but I can't see it not working now.
Every time I connect my phone to my computer via USB even after I've disconnected my phone, the following 2 things happen (that I can tell): My ringtone goes back to "Default" (i'm using a custom one which is saved on the SD memory) and my music playlist (the only one i have) goes empty. No music file is missing, they're just removed from the playlist, and they, too, are on my SD memory.
What can i do to fix or circumvent the issue?
The problem is not that it happens while the phone is hooked on the computer, but that it persists AFTER i disconnect it. In other words, after disconnecting the phone, i have to manually rebuild my playlists and change the ringtone again. Is there a way for me to transfer data between PC and phone without having to "reconfigure" the phone after the process? Or better yet a way to use the USB normally without the "reconfiguring" having to take place?
Hope you give me a rply masters
Thank you
