This was mentioned in the rom thread but seems to have gotten lost, so...
I've put an .mp3 into my /system/media/audio/ringtones to use as a custom ringtone. Reboot and there it is in the ringtone list. Select it and all is good.
BUT, in a couple of days it disappears from the list and the ringtone is reset to something else.
The file is still in the right folder. It can be fixed with a reboot, but still kinda annoying.
Any idea what's going on here?

i set mine through zedge... i was gettin the defualt rings if i would setup the ring through sound~
... it is odd....but works now... . like i said..set through zedge..workd for me
I set mine through handcent, because it allows the usage of custom ringtones, and I've never had a problem.
Put it in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ instead. Give that a shot.
I had this happen with my alarm clock. I put an ogg file in system/media and after a few days there were only 3 ringtones to select. I even tried some apps from the market and got the same thing. I've been flashing nightlies on top of eachother so I assumed that caused it.

Ha, I didn't even know that there is a /sdcard equivalent for ringtone storage. I'll give that a shot.
Although, I am a little concerned about "ring lag", but curious enough to find out nonetheless.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
I've had all my ringtones reset various times when flashing CM7 nightlies (granted i'm on a NS4G now)... but still happening... which is a huge PITA when I have custom ringtones for many of my contacts. I just found an app on the market that apparently backs up the specific database where these settings are stored.
It's called Backup My Tones (on the market)

I upgraded to 2.2 OTA yesterday. Everything has worked great except that out of all issues, the notification sound for my text message became a very low key pop sound. I attempted to change it various times and tried resetting my phone a couple of times to see if that changed anything and nothing.
The funny part is I can still change the sound notifications for my twitter, so it is specifically the text messaging that is causing a problem. I have never rooted and didn't flash that early froyo, just the legit one yesterday.
Can anyone help me?
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Have you tried a reboot?

By rebooting you mean turning off and turning on? If yes I have many times and tried taking out the battery too.

Im rooted using fresh right now it is built on the latest OTA and I'm trying to replicate your problem. What happens when you attempt to change the sound also where are you changing the sound at in messaging settings or the default in sounds?

When I go to settings/sound/notification sound I click any of the sounds and click ok. (As I highlight any of them it plays the preview sound).
Then I exit and have multiple people text me and it plays a little tiny sounding popping sound instead of whatever sound I picked.
Now I am on launcher pro and attempted changing on regular sense and nothing happened. I'm also using chompsms. (maybe uninstall chompsms?)
I don't know what to do . I turned off the phone several times and also took out the battery. Twitter notifications work fine, so its directly related to texting
go into your messages home screen press menu, press settings, scroll to received messages heading, make sure play notification sound is checked and than select a notification sound from the next option below and select ok

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG THANK YOU !!!!!!!! You have no idea how frustrated I was with this !
I really appreciate it man.
hey i recently upgraded to cm7 and ever since then, i have this weird default ringtone thats a mashup of a few mp3's i have (always the same mashup btw).
anyway, when i try to change the ringtone, i can select something else and it is selected but when people call me its still the weird mashup.
i tried searching for anyone else who had this problem and i couldnt find anything. anyone have any ideas?
just go to ur music and select the ringtone frm there or put ur ringtones in ringtones folder in media
doesnt work. again, i can set the ringtone and in settings it will show the correct ringtone selected but when i get a call it will still be the weird ringtone.
Did you do a full wipe of your Data/System/Dalvik Cache etc before installing CM7?
yup .
Doesn't help with a real solution I'm afraid, but I've got the same problem. Overriding it in "profiles" seems to work though
haha thanks that worked!
stupid bug though

Sorry that iam slow in the brain...but what do you mean by Overriding it in "profiles"!?

I have the same problems on a brand new with stock rom Android 2.3.3.
Override it in profies? What does that mean?
Go to profiles and set the ringtone from there.
Simple.

Is there a file called LG_Cable_Disconnect.ogg in system/media/audio/ui?
Was replacing sounds in my phone and I wasn't sure if there was a sound effect for a cable disconnecting. I know there's one for when it connects, but was there one that played when you unplug it?

There is not in mine.
BUT... I am on AT&T, so there is a small chance it is different.
Speaking of sound changing, only a handful of sounds seem to be actually working when replacing files. LG_Cable_Connect.ogg, and PowerOn.ogg are the only ones I've tested that seem to work. PowerOff.ogg isn't playing (despite my music app being able to play it if I open it directly from the folder) while Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg seem to be completely ignored, with the phone playing the default lock and unlock sounds despite those files being deleted already. All of the files are set to 644. Anyone wanna try seeing if these guys can be edited?
On a side note, I figured out it was the volume sound I deleted. could someone please locate the volume sound and give me the name to see if I can customize it please?
In fact, would someone be so kind as to give all the file names so I can double check that I got the names correctly? I stupidly didn't make a backup of them before deleting and replacing.
so far ive only changed poweroff and poweron and they both worked for me. as for the volume sound i cant seem to find it. do you remember what it was named?

I could be wrong, I just remember seeing a volume sound in there and think I deleted it without adding my own custom sound to replace it, but perhaps my memory has failed me.

only file with the word volume in it is a 30 second clip of a song.
here are all the files in UI and the .ogg i was talking about
Yeah, that's the volume file. Too bad it isn't actually the volume beep. What the hell is that file used for then? Anyway, I managed to get PowerOff to work by making it into PowerOff_Sprint (which is odd considering I didn't need PowerOn_Sprint for the opposite to work). Lock sounds will still not play for me though, they just play stock lock and unlock noises despite them not being in the folder anymore. Perhaps they're located in a different folder?
I just checked and we have a LG_Cable_Connect.ogg but no disconnect sound (sprint). Unrelated, but it appears that we have some....interesting... bloat sound files in /system/sounds/lgeSounds.
Has anyone been able to change the lock and unlock sounds successfully?
Now that I've got my lgog, I am also trying to disable some of the sounds, but am having no luck finding the right files to rename/delete/etc. Has anyone else been able to find the right files?

What I was most trying to figure out where the lock / unlock sounds, not realizing that there was an actual menu option for those. Found it and now I shall hang my head in shame for asking before really looking deeply.
This sounds really stupid but anyone else having a problem with the ringtone you select staying? I select a ringtone and then verify but every time I get my first call after it goes to dumb Verizon airwaves ringtone. My notification tones stick like normal. Just really getting annoying.
Thanks
Never had that problem ....

Yeahp i had it...seemed to have stopped tho.
I'm still having the problem with the ringtone not staying. Still reverts the VZW Airwaves after first call. I checked to see if I disabled an app to cause this and struck out there. I'm wondering if its do not disturb. I keep it on always and only let contacts call.
Same problem here

Hopefully someone will chime in with why it's happening. Ive run out of ideas.
I saw that someone did a factory reset that solved the issue

Mine is still happening. I've been busy working but I may try a factory reset. My phone started bootlooping this morning when I got home from work and put it on the charger. Restarted like 6 times. Lots of bugs
I'm still not having any issues, well except this

I had this issue at first. Do you have ES File explorer? Mine was borked because of that. So i had to disable that from being default. Then it still wasn't working for my SMS only text tone so I switched from Hangouts to Google Messenger, changed the tone then switched back to Hangouts.
When I was doing that Hangouts had the right text tone selected but that wasn't what played. So i used "SMS" as default SMS account vs my Gmail then switched it back the be more organized and it worked. Haven't tried changing tone since so idk if thats needed each time

I'd again verify your not going through a file explorer menu and thats its not the default app. Instead system explorer

Okay good to hear. I'm just going to wait and deal with it since I will be exchanging for a new device. Thanks again for letting me know.
No problem
Been having this same issue on my replacement Note 7, (ringtone never switched to default on my original Note 7). I used Samsung cloud to restore some settings on my replacement Note 7 and that could be the culprit.
I really do not want to do a factory reset as I just spent a ton of time setting my phone back up this week.
I moved the ringtone from SD card to internal to see if that would fix it from reverting. Will see...
I had the issue on my original defective Note 7. Not having it on my new one.

Maybe unrelated, but are you using any kind of audio volume manager? Some of them (like AudioManager Pro) will store ringtone information, so when you toggle modes, the ringtone comes along for the ride (reverting one that you may have manually selected).
I put a brand new ringtone on my internal drive Ringtone folder yesterday and when I turned on my phone this morning, it had reverted back to the Verizon default ringtone again. Any ideas how to get the ringtone to stick other than a factory reset?
I love my new Pixel 2 XL but despite my best efforts to identify what app or system service was sending repeated (and annoying) default notification sounds but not showing any other message or indication, I finally hit on a solution that seems to work.
SET THE DEFAULT NOTIFICATION SOUND TO "NONE"
settings>sound>advanced>default notification sound
Then set the notification sounds to whatever you want for each app you actually care to hear from.

I have noticed this as well.
<notification sound> no new text or email...
For me, it's just easier to ignore the errant tone once in a while than to set notifications for individual apps (cause I'm totally lazy like that).
But THAT is the beauty of Android... to each their own and there are always multiple ways to skin that cat
Use a notification log
I had this same issue. Turned out to be an app I had disabled pop ups for.
I have a (potentially) better solution. Add a notification log widget to find the culprit:
1. Long press on home screen and go to widgets.
2. Drag the settings widget to the home screen.
3. In the list of options, choose Notifications
Now you can see a log of your notifications. Next time you get the sound but no pop up, go into the log and find the offender at the top of the list.
For me it was a game I didn't need so I deleted it, but you can remedy the problem as you see fit.

Glad you found it! Sorry I just saw this. I forget where I learned about this, but it wasn't easy to find. I'm glad I could pass it on to someone else, I'm sure it could be plenty useful.
I'm having the same issue but it's not even showing in the notification log. Makes me want to throw it out the window to be honest. There's time where it will go off every 30 seconds. Off to reset I guess and see if that works.
same thing here pixel 2 oreo 8.1 notification sound...no thing new in the "hot list" or email or message
very weird, and randomly at night too which is the suck
2019 and no change
Hello, same issue still persists in 2019. Every few weeks i must dump the default sound as it sets it self up again.
Still no idea why it does it, just a temp bandaid to curb the annoyance. I notice a slightly higher battery drain too, tells me something is running

Sounds like a re-install is in order...if you have an unlocked bootloader, when was the last time you've done an update via Full Factory image? I'd imagine all that might be sorted out by reinstall/updating; with the "-w" removed of course...
I hope you consider it, and I hope this helps...
