When ever i get a notification, my notification sound plays but my music app (MOG) randomly starts playing. I was having the same problem with doubletwist. Anybody know what might be wrong?
i don't know if this is the same issue, but i know I've run into that after unmounting the SD card. What I think happens is that if the system loses track of the original notification sound file, it defaults and searches for other sound files (how it does this I don't know). I've always been able to fix it by remounting the SD card or just going in and setting the notification sound again.
HTH
Thanks a ton; I was surprised to see that that worked.

I received a Dash today to use while I work on finding my lost phone. Right now there is no SIM card installed because I need to get one from my carrier. I flashed the ROM RUU_EXCA_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.3.00.112509
The phone will vibrate when I turn on or select vibrate as a sound, however no other sounds will play. Not in the sounds menu under settings, or if I try and play a wma file through the media player. The phone volume is on high, and I set all the alerts under sounds to loud, still nothing comes out.
Any suggestions on how to test and see what problem is, or possible causes for the lack of sounds?
Welcome to froums
A hard reset could help
or try installing another ROM
Good luck,
Hi, I've got a question, that is if anyone else knows this problem or how to solve it.
I have an .mp3 ringtone located in the media/mp3 folder on my SD. Now when I receive a call, the ringtone starts but stops after one second or so - display still shows the call, however the phone is mute, doesn't even vibrate.
Any ideas?
is the vibrate settting on ? and is your mp3 corrupted ?
Yep it's one, the mp3 is perfectly fine. Now when I rebooted the phone, it worked correct again, but at some point it's the same issue again.
I have googled, and it seems that it's not a Defy specific issue, but happens on many Android devices. Closing random processes and rebooting seems to help, yet it's annoying...
Hi All,
I personally dis-like the start up tone motorola picked for it's Defy (and the shut down tone).
Is there way can be modified to other of my downloaded tone or make it silent when starting up the phone every day ?
Thanks a lot.

disable sdcard notifications
You can download Silent Boot from the market.
Or copy the sounds you want to /system/media/audio/xxxx (whatever folder), remember to set permissions similar to the other files and then reboot. The problem is the sdcard is not mounted yet when it tries to play the sounds.
Thanks to ALLLLLLLLLLLL,
I did not know this is sound relate to the SD card when mounted.
I did that just to un-check the sound in the SD card notification.
Thanks again!

I have SD card notifications turned off. My phone boots silently, but it still plays a loud and annoying beep when I switch it off. Is there any way to fix this?
Try installing Silent Boot from the market; It works for shut down too, despite its name.
Can it also kill that horrible beep that sounds every time I unplug the USB cable? That doesn't involve booting or shutting down my phone.
No, but you could use any program that allows you to set the System volume.
So that's were that horrible beep is hidden. Thanx. I silenced it with Quick Settings.
Do you know how can kill the beep that plays when I push the volume rocker? The visual volume indication is enough for me.

Did you manage to find where is located that beep on unplugging USB cable? It's horrible...
hi, i am running CM7.1 on my defy and from yesterday my phone ringtone is automatically set to some song from my sd card. i tried changing it but it somehow has stuck there. the most irritating part is that as soon as i hang up or get a missed call, a random song starts playing. it is a big let down at office. can anybody help me on this?
sure, i have the same problem, but i do not know how to fix it ~
Hi!
I also had this problem on my older Desire Z, but then it just kept changing all notification / ringtones sounds to ramdom .mp3 files on the SD card. Not when connecting in Mass Storage mode, but without any intervention from my part.
Now it will change some or all sounds (ringtones, notifications, alarms) to "Unknown ringtone". You can see it in the screenshot. When I try to change them back to something, in the list where I should choose the file, no sound will play when I tap on them (usually, you can preview the sound before accepting). After I choose the file I want, the Personalize menu will still show "Unknown ringtone". The only way to get it back to normal is a phone reset, and then all my ringtones will get back to the ones I've chosen initially.
I should note that I use only custom ringtones, all of them are on the Mass Storage memory in "Audio/Ringtones", "Audio/Notifications" and "Audio/Alarms". I don't use any ringtone app (like Ringdroid etc.) and I only have "normal" apps installed (some games and popular apps from known developers).
This thing happens at random, at least once a day, I don't connect the phone in Mass Storage mode, it just sits on the table and suddenly the ringtones are gone. The worst part is that nothing will play, so I won't receive sound notifications for alarms or incoming calls, only vibration if it is set so.
I searched and read a lot of threads on diffeent forums, a lot of people have this problem on other phones and Android versions, but nobody had an explanation or a solution. Could it be an app I use? I can make a list of everything I installed...
I'd appreciate any help, this problem is very annoying.
After a lot of testing and cursing the phone, I think I found the problem. I re-converted all my mp3 ringtones to 96kbps, mono, no ID3 tag, no embedded album picture, just plain .mp3. It now seems to work fine for two days.
I think the random change happens only for big mp3 files or for mp3 files with album art. Hope it helps, if somebody will have the same issue.
check the setting of you profiles. see if it has the same ringtones.
