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.

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!

As the title says im having problem with my mini pro. when it rings there is no ring tone but i can hear the orther person talking. so probably something happened to the speaker. i'm 100% sure that there is no settings matter.also i cant hear songs either. the phone hasnt beeb droped. please if someone knows anything help me...thank you
IT Crowd: Have you tried to turn it off and on again ?
This has happend to me, Have you used Zedge app or another rigntone downloader, they might give you problems with the downloaded mp3s, try using another ringtone., also check if the silent option is enabled
of course i reboot the phone. i also installed different ROM.the same thinks happen. I think all started when i installed handsend sms. but i dont think thats the cause
Well, i have handcent since months and no problems there, but sure it seems some app it´s interfering on the sound settings. Have you check if the song tones are in their proper location ?? Are they showing correctly on the phone sound picker when you try to change them ??
Yes. I can see the sounds and the mp3 but when i press Play i cant hear anything. the bad news is that i updated the ROM and there is no guarranty now.
Hey dude.. this is happen with me too.. I tried everything (reboot, install new rom and nothing)... so I opened the phone and took out the 4 screws, and hd a look at the contacts points of the speaker (p.s. I did not unplug anything) put together and ta-dah.. work again..
Try it if you have some experience or if not take for technical assistance

Hi,
I have been having this weird problem for some time now. When someone calls me, the phone does not always show the name of contact, only the number. The call log does the same also. Sometimes the same contact calls again and the name shows. I don't quite see where the problem is.
Restarting does solve it for some time but after a while this odd behaviour is back again.
Has anyone seen this before?

try 3 button combo if the prob exist u can try a custom rom orelse take it to service center as it might be a prob with the phone itself.
I would recommend to tru combo or custom rom and check if the problrm exist it seems to be a software related issue and not phone.
i hope u havent copied the numbers twice ,u may try exporting ur contact to sd card ,delete all contact,import your contact again
go to contact -menu button-import/export-copy to sd card
delete all contacts
export them back again
it will create a .vcf file in ur sd card so all your contatcs will be safe no problem deleting them just import them back after deleting

I did the hard reset when I upgraded. And regarding the import and export, thats what I have done before upgrading, but thank you though.
It seems that the contacts content are not loaded properly all the time. I tried opening the contacts and scrolling through the whole contact list, and then I switch to the call log, and all the names are back in the call log. What is confusing is that I do not use any sort of task killer such that the contact are removed from the memory.
I don't think its a hardware problem though.
Hi Dr.Alani,
Frustrated by the same issue. Any breakthrough with this one?
Sending the phone in to service center for 3 weeks+ is just not an option.
I've found out that the problem was caused by "market access" app. If you leave the emulation on, for example T-mobile, the phonwill consider only US numbers to be local. All other numbers will look different than they are on the contact list. So, just remember to restore your network code in market access or market enabler after you finish downloading from the market. I hope this solves you issue.

There would not be any such problem if you stored all your numbers in the international format in the first place (like, +1123456789)
(For quick restore - airplane mode on and off.)
Actually I do save the numbers in International Format, but the problem is that the network I am on, when someone calls I receive it without the +CountryCode ..Thats why names don't show up.
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.
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

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.

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?
