I currently have my ringtone mp3 file on the root folder of my SD card. It works fine with one really annoying problem.
When I am listening to my music, the shows up in the music player and plays.
Is there any way I can stop this without creating playlists every time I chance or add new songs? I like to just go into my music player and play all.
I have tried to look for the subdirectory where the stock ringtones are so I can just add it to that, but I have not had any luck.
Hopefully someone can help me solve this annoying issue. Thanks.
On your sd card there should be a folder called media open it add a folder called Ringtones put your Ringtones In it should help also you can another one called music for your music If you want instead of having all your music on the root of your sd card but it's up to you

I kept opening that file and saw a file in there called notifications which only had a facebook notification tone. I put my ringtones there but it didn't work.
Since the forum was down yesterday, I googled my problem and found that you can just create a folder called "ringtones" (all lower case) and it worked.
But I am going to try to move that folder into the media folder so I can keep my sd card somewhat organized.
thanks for the help.
That's cool I was trying to tell you that but I guess I wasn't clear enough but at any rate you got it. So no big deal. Anyway no problem.

I tried just creating a folder named 'ringtones' and it didn't work for me. I then created a 'media' folder and put the 'ringtones' folder in it. It still didn't work. I turned the phone off and rebooted. Still can't find the ringtone.
BTW - the ringtone is a 'shortened' mp3 that I have used on several windows phones for years. I'm not hearing my phone ring cuz I don't recognize the ringtone!
Update:
I read somewhere else on this forum that someone had to remove and reinsert their battery to get the ringtones to work. I tried that. There was my ringtone -- however the phone had decided to give it the name 'track 30'. Have no idea where that would have come from...this was never downloaded as a track off an album and it did have it's own file name.
This is a new AT&T Aria (my first Android). So far I'm not sure I like it. it was much easier to browse the phone, load files, etc. with Windows Mobile/ActiveSync'. And I miss MyMobiler.

IMO comparing your experience on android to a windows phone doesn't really suit the perquisites for a comparison. It'd be like comparing your experience on windows 7 to the latest version of Ubuntu or some other Linux distro. Oh wait, Linux (android) vs windows mobile (windows) that's wut you're doing isn't it? Android is awesome in my opinion once you get used to it. And I came from a blackberry. Totally incomparable, but in the long run I love android so much more than BB.
Hello, for some reason when sync music from my computer to my phone, the tags get all messed up. For example, on my computer the tags are fine, and ive even used a tag editor, but when i transfer them to my phone the tags go back to what they were before. Can someone please help me out. I'm a music fanatic and i have major ocd.

Try the following:
Delete all the music files from your phone.
On your phone, go to the /sdcard/albumthumbs directory and delete all the files in there.
Shut down the phone and restart.
Copy your music files back to your phone. Let the phone automatically scan the files again.
See if that helps.
It didn't work.
Hello All,
I wondered if one of you experts may be able to help me with an issue I'm having with my SIII please? I'm a long time browser of the site but haven't posted much until now.
This issue is coming between me and my sleep (and I mean that literally.)
I can't seem to master the art of getting music onto my S3. I thought it would be as simple as using iSyncr as I had with my S2. Alas, no.
Because of the changes to the mass storage mode (I am running a Mac), I have to download the Android File Transfer thing to connect my phone at all to my Mac.
When I use iSyncr now, it's slightly buggy. I put the phone into MTP mode, it starts copying music across and then after a certain number of tracks, it throws up an MTP issue where it says certain songs can't be copied. I then have to go around the houses and start clearing data from the media storage app in my settings and rebooting the phone. Then, I try again and get so far and the same thing happens again with different songs.
Also, when some songs transfer the albums appear split in the phone (though this is minor annoyance compared to the above).
I have left it on overnight and come back to my computer and it all looks finished, yet of my 6700 songs, only 3400 have transferred.
I've tried going the old fashioned way and spend last night dragging and dropping files onto the memory card using the Android File Transfer mode. I got one message saying a song couldn't be copied, yet when I actually got up and checked, again, only 3400 odd songs had transfered. There were no error messages and we're not talking DRM songs that hadn't gone across.. but some that I had ripped myself. It's all very odd.
Don't mention DoubleTwist - that's even worse.
This is really driving me mad as I am a big music player and I don't want to fork out for and have to carry an iPod too. I just sold my iPhone to use the S3 as I assumed it would be simple like the S2 but this is making me so upset with the phone. It's as though Google have deliberately locked out Mac functionality.
It's an unlocked unit, with a sandisk 64GB card inside. That was formatted by the phone and when I tried using a card reader instead, the computer said it couldn't be recognised.
I'm throwing myself at your knowledgeable feet here and hoping that somebody knows exactly what is happening here and what it is I could do to fix it. My entire weekend has been wasted sitting in front of this computer and I really want to fix it.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Can't help with your immediate issue I'm afraid (waiting for my S3 and I don't have a mac... ) but have you contracted the devs of iSyncr to let them know of the issue - at least that way they can start working on an update.
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad
I sure have!
Thanks for contacting me and pointing me to this thread.
First off, I've pre-ordered the international S3 so that I can test this out. We just do not have them in Texas yet.
Secondly, I've been unimpressed with Android's MTP's robustness on other devices. I filed several bug reports for different scenarios that corrupt the MTP database in March of 2011. Zero have been touched by Google. Given this, the first thing we should try is rebuilding the MTP database, which lives inside the "Media Storage" app. I've put these instructions in an easy to follow tutorial.

Please let us know if that helps the issue.

Don't suppose anyvody has any solution for this? Really don't want to take my S3 back but will have to at this rate. I think it's shocking that the S3 is so crippled from a Mac's perspective since the changes to MTP. Android File Transfer app doesn't really fix anything.
I have the same problem. Even using AFT, it wil not see the phone until I put it into PTP mode. THen I can copy data to it. isyncr see the phone in MTP mode but keeps telling me device failed to load.
I'm going to mention
I know I shouldn't mention it but here you go Double twist!
Right I've had some problems and this is what actually worked.
First you have to use itunes. If your music is a mess then a app on the app store called 'dupin' will remove any duplicate songs you have (it worked well for me). if you have lots of dead file links in your library just remove all your library files and then click 'add to library' be careful that itunes does not copy the files you add to the itunes music folder - see preferences.
1. Make a 'new playlist' --> add all your songs to it (press command+a etc). If you have a large music library like me then you can make a 'smart playlist' and limit the size of the playlist, handy eh!!
2. Open doubletwist on your mac and immediately make sure in 'preferences' the 'automatic sync' option is switched off (I had an incident where my whole library syned with 2 of my external hardisks...oops...and the funny thing is that one of the hard disks was where the music stored). Make sure the 'import itunes playlists' option is also selected.
3. In the doubletwist andriod app Select the SD card as library storage and Enable the 'Airsync' function in doubletwist (you will have to pay for the app but in my opinion it's worth it - it also supports ACC files).
4. Enter the pair code into the mac application.
5. Select the option to sync your playlists only (don't try anything fancy!!). You should see the one you made in itunes here.
6. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT: you should by now see the 'airsync' icon at the top of the screen. PULL DOWN THE NOTIFICATION CENTER AND TOUCH THE 'DOUBLETWIST IS SYNCING'. You will see a funky swirly multicoloured wheel LEAVE THE PHONE ALONE UNTILL ALL YOUR MUSIC HAS SYNCED ACCROSS.
Dont lock your phone as this seems to mess it up...
Hope this helps. I understand your pain, I lost a weekend too!
Notes: Podcasts and DRM stuff does not sync.
Notes: If your playlist is not the full size of your music library then if the 'live updating' option is turned on in your smart playlist then when you click sync in doubletwist it will sync different songs each day (I think...)
If none of the above works, you always have a nice shiny 50gb of free dropbox storage as an interim solution

If you are already an iSyncr user, as this person is, there is no reason to leave me for doubleTwist. We've got iSyncr WiFi, which we came out with before doubleTwist and is only a .99 cent upgrade. If you've got an issue with it, just email me, and we'll make sure it works on your S3.

If its possible, try installing VMware fusion, and you can run windows inside your MAC in a virtual machine, you can try this if everything else fails...
You know where to download these softwares
You can try for free...and find the serial key easily using Google.

I purchased the isycr wifi option and it is working fine... I think they have a "lite" version that you can try, but it only syncs one playlist or something, but you can see if it works or not. But that is what I am using now.

How about with the motorola defy ? Still waiting on that if you can have a look at fixing that one.
Guys . I am on the the latest official samsung leak from two days ago. everything seems to work fine for the most part. However i have this problem with Icons , emoticons and album artwork not only showing up in my photogallery but pretty much outnumbering my photos 2 to 1. It has gotten to the point where I am no longer synchronising my phone with my pc. my Music folder also has windows files that are not music just sounds that windows makes. today i formatted my external sd card and erased all music and pictures from my internal storage as well.. In reinstalled windows too because i have been seeing these things on my pc as well. i used a flash drive to put about 2 gigs of pictures and 6 gigs of music on both my phone and pc.at this point i thought i had cleaned everything up and that just not syncing would solve my issues until i looked at my dropbox and google plus and picasa accounts. in no time at all my pc was already putting icons and artwork with my pics.
I looked into this issue on other forums on xda . but this problem does not seem to have much of a solution. some say to put .nomedia files in the directories which i have my pics and music. others say that it doesnt work with ics or hc i havent seen any solution for jb. or I9300 or 4.2.2 . By the way I am using the external micro SD card to store pics and music. maybe thats the problem. I dont know. My question is Does anyone know how to fix this short of avoiding syncing with a pc and ditching cloud storage?

Well there isn't a sure shot solution. For the album arts, try embedding them directly to the mp3 files. That should help. And try not to use the stock gallery app. Use quickpic and hide pics you don't want to see.
.nomedia does work on JB, but I'm not sure that it does what you want.
It is used to hide pictures from the gallery, audio from the music player etc.
It's just a case of creating an emtpy file called ".nomedia".

That's a contradiction in terms. It's either official or it's a leak. In this case it's a leak
Hello out there,
recently my S2 (Stock ICS 4.1.2, Build JZO54K.I9100XWLSD) started to tell me again and again that there seems to be not enough memory left for certain app updates. So I finally decided to root my device for the first time to try to get rid of some log files and other unneccessary stuff that filled my sd card.
I found some recommendations for the app "SD Maid" that should be able to delete some files without causing too much harm. So I gave it a try. Deleted some "dead corpses" and some logfiles. Everything seemed to work fine.
But later in the evening during my way home I discovered that my audio book which I listened to in the morning, didn't work any more. Just the way as it is, when the DRM license ran out. My online library uses WMA files with DRM to make sure that one can use the book for 14 days.
So I downloaded the book once again, got the license through WMP and synchronized it again on my device. Same problem. Next try was to reinstall my media player (Mort Player). Still no success... Unrooting also didn't do the trick.
On the next day I checked /data/data.drm with another I9100 from one of my colleagues. All the files were existing on both devices, only mine were newer. So, since I tried everything that came to my mind, I don't know what to do now. Do you have any ideas?
It seems, that I deleted something that was responsible or necessary for checking the DRM license during playing. Since the DRM support for WMA files is part of the system in Samsung devices, it cannot be the players fault. The stock player also doesn't work here.
What could have happened? Are there configuraiton files or something that could be deleted? Do I have a chance to get back the DRM support? :crying:
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
Andreas.
Nobody?
