Since updating to XXELL4 with Kies and then re-rooting with CF auto root, I've had a few of problems.
One of the most annoying is that the default ringtone and notification sounds now show as "Unknown ringtone". If I try and change it, I'm not offered the default ringtone picker, only "ES File Explorer" (I've tried uninstalling this, but then Settings crashes when I try to select a ringtone!).
If I try and set the ringtone with ES File Explorer (a default ringtone from /system/media/audio/ringtones/), it just shows "Silent" as the ringtone, rather than what I pick.
Has anybody else had this issue?
Does anyone know what the default ringtone picker application is? Perhaps I can just reinstall the apk from somewhere.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try installing RINGO PRO app from the app market... it might help... besides it has some cool functions too...
I ended up doing a factory reset, which fixed this issue. Ringtone pickers from Play weren't working either.

I want to change the message notification to the "droid" sound and alrerady have it d/l to my phone. Is there a way to enable it using the stock messaging app?
Redownload the sound from the Zedge application (They have every sound you can imagine, they'll have yours) go into messages, click the menu button, scroll down to "select ringtones" and select Zedge. Click the tone you downloaded and you're set.
Alternatively you could use something like Root Explorer and move the file to your system>media>audio>notification folder. I ripped the entire audio folder from one the other Vibrant roms and moved it over using this method.
Is there a way to change the default sound to something other then the pre-loaded HTC sounds? I was able to change the phone ringtone to a song on my sd card. When going to settings, phone ringtone there is a new ringtone button which let me choose whatever I want but when I go to the default sounds I do not have that option. The only option I get is, get more, which takes me to the HTC hub. I tried ringdroid and made a ringtone but it don't show up. I also installed tone picker but it doesn't show up either. Another strange thing is, I am using handcent and have a mp3 selected within handcent but when I get a text it uses the default notification instead. Anyone else having this problem?
I had similar issues. I used HTC Hub to download a new ringtone package, and found out that it just over writes everything I may have had selected.
I've had to go in and redo my ringtone and message notifications a few times, mostly after I hook it up and enable SD storage on the computer.
If I have someone call or send a text message while its hooked up as storage, it changes EVERYTHING back on mine to the stock sound settings.
Ok what i did with mine was use astro file manager to take whatever mp3s i wanted for notifications and copied and pasted them into my notifications folder which will be located in your media folder,open astro click sd card then click media then audio then notifications and paste whatever you want to hear for notifications sounds in there then when you go to your list they should show up and work like a charm.
I think I did that with a file manager and it still didn't show under Notification sounds. You need to hit set as once the desired file is highlighted and set it as a notification that way.
Use Zedge. Its a free app and you can select it as default instead of using system. Works wonders!

Menu --> Personalize --> Notification Sound
This is where you can change the default notification sound as well as the sound for the email app, the messaging app, and the calendar.
This took me awhile to figure out. A new feature of Sense 3.0. Possibly introduced in Sense 2.1. Not sure. But different than the EVO either way...

Hello. Every time I go to settings/sound/ to Phone Ringtone or Default Notification, I always get directed at my explorer. Last week, i was able to select the sound picker which let me see the other notification and other ringtones. How can I fix this? where I can have an option after clicking the Phone ringtone or Default Notification? I'd be very thankful to the people who will help me.
Here are the screenshots:
1.) Under Ringtone & Notifications
2.) Here's what it look likes after click either Phone ringtone or Default Notification, where I used to have an option like "Xperia Sounds", "Sound Picker", and etc.
Try going to settings/apps/all and find sound picker and clear defaults

hi guys.. Please help me with my galaxy note.. My phone suddenly change its ringtone (whatsapp, call ringtone, sms, etc) to default ringtone by itself.. And when i want to change it again the option is missing.. Could anybody help me to solve this problem??
Whatsapp tone can be changed by to its settings.
For Messages too I think it can be by going to its settings. ( I am just guessing because I am a Samsung user too)
For call,ringtone and SMS try to change via your MUSIC PLAYER or FILE MANAGER.
Open your x ringtone in music player, go to options, choose SET AS, and then Ringtone.
If that is also not available try by long pressing the .mp3 or .ogg file and choose SET AS and then as your Ringtone.
Done.
Does anyone else have a problem with their xperia using the default system notification sound for ALL notifications instead of what is set for each app? For instance, snapchat notifications always use the system default instead of the sounds that snapchat specifically is supposed to install and use. It's really annoying as I've gotten inconsistent results trying to set custom notifications for specific apps to use and some refuse to use the custom settings. Is it something I'm doing wrong?
I have the XQ-BC72 version of the phone.
I apologize if this has been asked before, my search didn't pull up anything in this realm of use case.
Thanks.
Can't speak for Snapchat as I do not use it. However, I have different sounds set for different things and they all work as expected. Do you have a separate "notifications" and "ringtones" folder? If not then you need to create each one in the root of the device and place all the 3rd party sounds you want to use in the proper folder. Now in settings you can choose a default notification sound which will be used by default by all your communications apps UNLESS you go into each apps settings to choose a specific one. If for some reason you continue to have issues try to choose "none" for the default notification sound. This way you will have to choose a sound for each app or else you will not hear anything.
