I am quickly warming up to the Galaxy Nexus. The only thing right now that is annoying me is the fact that I cannot seem to get 4G here in Northern VA and when it cannot get 4G it seems to hang sometimes for up to 10 minutes which makes the phone essentially useless during that time.
Does anyone have a way to get newer or better ringtones? The stock ringtones are some of the worst I have ever heard for a phone. There is not one I like.
I was seraching for ringtones too, I was tired of my alarm and default ringtone.
A good starting point was going to the Android Market and doing a search. I found Sacron Ringtones. They are a bunch of apps with each app having 15 ringtones each belonging to a different theme. From theme you can link to their other apps to find more ringtones. You can preview them first and add only the ones you like.
I found quite a few ones I liked. And also they are loud! If you add Volume+ app to your phone as well, you should have no problem hearing your phone.
The last thing I'm looking for is a notification tone that sounds like a beeper. Does anyone have one to recommend?
Not sure what the issue is really. You can have whatever you want as your ringtone, sms notification tone, email notification tone etc...
Just find what you want and drop them into the appropriate folders.
Personally I use this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldOzgxQQv4M for my message tone, this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cy2Htydlhk for my email notification tone and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL-Zf3nAoHY for my ringtone.

Hi, I've got my Galaxy S for 3 days now and can't figure out how to change the notification tone for calendar reminders.
Searching the net and this forum did not bring me really further (there is supposed to be a "more" under settings but it is just not shown for me).
Thank you for your help and sorry if it's a dumb question it is my first Android after years of HTC WM.

1) On SDkard make a new map called; media.
2) Open media and make a new map called; audio.
3) Open audio and make two maps, notifications and ringtones
Inside the map of notifications attach your personal mp3.
Finished
thank you for your instructions. which i followed. but still can't choose a tone from the menu options in the calendar just the overall notification tone.
I have the same problem (I have started another thread for this a few days ago)...

Yeah I was interested in changing some of the default tones as well, such as the battery low tone.
The program Calendar Snooze lets me choose an alternative tone for reminders BUT additionally to the original tone (but still better than nothing).
There is a hint screen in Calendar Snooze saying that one should disable the default alert in the calendar to exclusively use the one chosen by yourself - what of course I can't do.
My friend's HTC Legend shows (within the calendar app) the option to change the reminder tone.
And yes I read something about reaching the "more" option in the calendar by using hw keyboard or trackball both not available for us.
Any further hints on this highly appreciated
Looking in settings I can't seem to set a different sound for different notifications. IE email sounds different than SMS.
Really? Clearly Android is in need of some 'Mobile Phone' settings.
This was one of my 1st gripes and the way round for me is to use 3rd part apps
1. Disable notifications in Settings
2. Install Handscent SMS and set it to play what ever sound when you get a SMS
3. Install Gmail Popup and set this to play a different sound for Emails received
Works for me and makes my Desire more desirable

Try looking in the apps themself rather than in settings!
i.e. change Gmail notifications in GMail, SMS notifications in your messaging app etc et.

Yikes... Every mobile phone since like 1982 has been able to change this in one place. I knew I was going to have a few problems with android but wow.
Is there an official place to submit enhancement (20 years ago) requests to the android development team?

You rather miss the point. Since Android allows all sorts of new applications, with all sorts of potentially new notifications, there is no way you can have a "one stop shop" for notifications.
I have 4 email accounts setup in Gmail, and each of them has a different notification sound. It would be very hard to achieve this if notification sounds were handled centrally.

And if you don't change the sound in an app it uses the default one as set in the 'Sound' settings in the menu, under 'Notification sound'
Hey guys,
So one of the first things I noticed was that the default ringtones and notification sounds SUCK!! They are super vanilla and there isn't a very good selection. I downloaded Zedge, but it is littered with comedic and silly tones.
Does anyone have any good notification and ringer tones? I'm looking for clean sounds. Similar to how the default notification sounds on the iPhone are super clean (although, I'm not looking to copy it).
I would prefer selections from Zedge... but if I can download it, I'm open to that.
Thanks
Its all personal preference. I personally have songs from Persona 3 for ringtones and Murloc sounds from WoW for notifications.
my absolute favorite notification sound from zedge is sms soft win alert_23. i'm not sure where it's originally from tho.
I have been on the look out for sometime for an app that did what WhoIsIt did for customizing your Ringtones/SMS/Notifications and vibrate settings in Gingerbread for ICS. WhoIsIt currently will allow you set Custom ringtones and SMS notification sounds, but the vibrate settings are totally broken. Also the notifications for apps like Gmail that are supported in the program no longer work. In order to customize the notification sounds for apps, you'll need to change the settings in each app which can become time consuming instead of the central management that was provided by WhoIsIt in GingerBread. My current solution is to:
Use WhoIsIt to customize my Ringtones and SMS sounds. I then use ViBe to use custom Vibrate settings for specific contacts. And finally Notifications for apps like Gmail, I usually change the notifications in each one.
If anyone knows of a less involved solution for ICS based ROMS, please feel free to let me know, Also i hope I might have been somewhat informative to those that have ran into this issue when trying to use an App like WhoIsIt to customize there phone.
Just use Zedge works for me

I used to use Ringdroid, which from what I can tell, does not work on ICS either.

I think I saw this mentioned before but I can't find the thread it was in for the life of me.
I really need to be able to set custom ring tones per contact. I have clients that pay for 24/7 support and I have set really annoying and distinctive ring tones per client. I have no way to do this on the Razer phone. I tried using Zedge (I really don't want to do this as I have made my own tones) and setting a ringtone to the contact in the app but it doesn't seem to work and I see no way to do it in contacts, as you would normally would.
Any big brains out there have some thoughts?
