I downloaded some ringtones as mp3 or mp4 but no sound when selected as ringtones. It works if I select it to play in windows media player.
I have 3VO series rom on WM6.5.
check your settings, and make sure you have the ringer on loud and your system all the way up on the slide. hopefully this works.
i was using ringtones downloaded from myxer and they were in mp3d format and would never work. so now i just cut my own songs and make my own shortened mp3's and they work fine everytime.
check the file format on your computer and see what they are.
ignore what i said earlier it is invalid. my problem stemmed from the newest 3vo rom. dont know how to work it out.

Are the files you are trying to use high-quality, or better quality? If so, then try to use ones of lesser quality, since you don't need a HQ sound coming from your cell phone on RING...chances are that loading up that sound (if it is of a higher quality) takes up a decent amount of processing power/RAM, that at one point it just can't process the ring anymore.
I am using the 3vo 2.5 as well...if you want to send me the file, i can see if i figure out what the problem is...(you can email me it, just click my name and send me an email)
I installed ICS 4.0.4 .431 (LT18i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic World Greece) a few days ago on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, It works smooth and nice, except a few small drawbacks, or is it?
First of, The led doesn't seem to be working other than when I turn on the phone or put it on charge.
It doesn't light up when I get sms/mms, facebook, gmail or any other notification. I have checked the settings in every one of these apps to see if I have missed anything, but no. everything is correct in settings. Am I missing something, or is the led not working on 4.0.4 ?
second - "music library empty" ??? WinAMP worked fine on 4.0.3. WinAMP does not work on 4.0.4. All I get is "music library empty". PowerAMP works great. But in PowerAMP I can choose music-directory. Also in "settings when I want to choose a ringtone (MP3) it also say "music library empty". Also this worked fine in 4.0.3. What am I missing ? What am I doing wrong? Both LED and WinAMP worked on 4.0.3 but not on 4.0.4
Anyone else experiencced this "problem" ?!?
Where does 4.0.4 expect to find the music-files? I have my music-files on the sd-card in a directory named "music".
The LED issue is a known problem in the ICS 4.0.4 update. There are talks about an update coming which would fix this problem.
And I can't really help you out with your music issue. I use the stock music app and I have no problems. Uh, try clearing cache and data for WinAmp.

I can't use stock music player due to the issue "music library empty". Not really sure what's causing it.
I thought about wiping cache and dalvik, but since I came from a fresh install, then I didn't bother with that.
Thank you for the info on the LED issue
Go to Settings -> Apps. Find the Music app under ALL. Then wipe data and cache.
Hope it works.

I tried. It didn't do any good.
I wonder what it could be, It worked on 4.0.3 I haven't changed anything besides upgrading to 4.0.4
Has no one else experienced "music library empty" in stock music player ?

I have the exactly same problem tried everything but music is there and is not there also the same happens with old photos i cannot see them anymore on the gallery they are on sd but not on gallery
Check if you have a .nomedia file in your music folder.
It prevents android from looking for media files in that particular folder. This includes photos, music & videos.
Just delete it and all should be fine.
@daniel090588, the same thing applies to you.

Thanx for helping out
I searched my sd-card for .nomedia files. I found a few, but none in sd-card/music However I found one in sd-card/Android ??? not sure if that one's been there before ?

I just found out that the same goes for me. I can't see pictures in my gallery either. I could see 4 pictures. Those four I have taken since I installed this 4.0.4 but none of the other pictures. I searched for them on my SD and they are ALL in the same directory SD/DCIM/100ANDRO but still only able to see the last four pictures taken. However I can see them ALL when I use "QuickPic" A great app to view all your pictures with.
I did a reset on my phone now. Just to see if that helped, and it did.
Now I can see music in stock music player. Also my stock photo gallery is working.
I guess the problem I had came from my titanium backup restore.
I wonder what it could have been ?
Thanks it works

Thanks! It worked for me (CM 7.2 - HTC Chacha). I deleted all the .nomedia files and .nomedia folders.
Also I had to delete them twice.
Go to settings, applications, all
Find the Media Storage app, and clear data.
This deletes everything! artists, albums, playlists. (data still on card)
Plug in, mount usb. Eject. Go back into music, and wait (a lot if you have more than a few tracks.)
Note: If the music app shows no changes, try force stopping the Media Storage app. The app showed no cache or data to clear, but force stopping it then opening the Music app worked for me.

Any feedback?
I had the same problem of media not showing in walkman music app in my Xperia P. I deleted the .nomedia directory and restarted the "media storage" app from the settings and it worked.
I've searched through-out XDA and coudln't find a direct answer to this.
I see people stating to do a Google search, which I tired as well, but had no luck finding the sound file.
In the application TrackID from Sony there is a failure sound when it doesn't recognize the title played. I've been looking all over for this sound and past Sony Ericsson System Alert/Warning sounds.
Why? I tend to change all notification sounds weekly. I have an addiction to sounds? :silly:
Anyways, I've managed to unpack the .apk using ASTRO. Within "...res/raw/" I found two files that seem like they would be the sound files I'm looking for; failure.3gp and success.3gp
Yet when I play them within my phone I get silence. When attempting to play them on my computer it tell's me they are unplayable.
You can extract audio from apk only if you use Root Explorer and set Open Apk as Zip and then you will be able to explore the apk file.

I tried exactly what you did and it worked like magic. I don't know why I didn't do that in the first place.
What I was doing was extracting it using root explorer within my phone.
But thanks for your quick reply! :good:

I did exactly that with tetris apk but there wasn't any music related files in the raw folder. Just one Javascript file
I recently did a clean install of MOAR v8.0 from v6.1 and have noticed that all the System .ui sounds ( .ogg ) are in the music folder in the My Files app., which means that they are also sent to the Music Player app. So when I was driving home yesterday and streaming the music through BT, all the system sounds like Alert_on_call.....Cam_Stop and all the others....plus all the sucky music like Birdsong, Fairy Fountain and such will start playing.
I have tried to delete them from the Music Player and the My Files apps, but they will not delete. I have also tried to move the files from the My File app to another folder, but they will still remain in the Music File.
Also, in the Astro File Manager, when I select the Music folder....none of the system files show up.
I have read and searched through the MOAR thread, but can't find an answer and I can't post there asking this, but How do I move the sound files ( .ogg ) so that they will not play in the Music Player app?
Well after 3 more downloads and clean installs.....it seemed to work itself out....I do still have the 'hangout' sounds in there. I can deal wit that for now though. :cyclops:

If you download a music player from play store like poweramp etc you can specify your music folders to play from and then you wont get system sounds

Yeah hangouts itself puts it in there, not much you can do about that
If you delete it, it will just keep coming back, but you can make a ".nomedia" file in there (without quotes of course) and it won't show up when you go to play your music (basically tells the media scanner to skip that folder)

Yea....I tried several different players but they all played the System Sounds. I did move my playlist to the external card and n7 player worked fine. Thanks

Haha....I didn't even think about .nomedia.
I read soooooooooooo many threads, posts and different topics on a lot of different forums that my head spins. LOL
So far I haven't heard the hangouts beeps, but if I do it's fine........I mainly wanted all the stupid samsung crappy songs/ringtones out of there.
I just ordered an AN-21 U about 2 hours ago, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528349 ...... so hopefully I won't need to use my phone for music after next week. :fingers-crossed:
OhYea......THANKS for all you have contributed to MOAR !!!!
Just got an M8 and noticed the HTC music channel on it--basically allows you to run the visualizations along with lyrics to any song you are listening to--be it through music player or Pandora, for example.
Daughter has my old M7 and I was wondering if it had the same option, sadly it didn't. But google is a good friend and here you go:
Step 1:
-Open ES File Explorer and make sure ES File Explorer has the right permissions. So from the sidebar, tap Root Explorer -> Mount R/W and make sure /system has RW permission.
-Open up default.xml from /system/customize/acc/.
Step 2:
Open the file (default.xml) with ES Note Editor, then scroll all the way to the end of the file to find the line that starts with support_music_channel. Change the value to true, save the changes, then reboot your device
name="support_music_channel">false</item> <---------------change to >true<, save file, then reboot.
After the reboot, open your Settings app and toggle on Music Channel. Now whenever you play a song through any music app, Music Channel will be activated and will display a visualizer along with the lyrics to your song, as long as GraceNote has it in its library.
Works but for some reason the on screen buttons don't respond
good to see that you fixed the button issue
option not showing up in settings.

Are you sure you typed it up right and, more importantly, saved the file?
Whatever you save must be exactly like this:
name="support_music_channel">true</item>

That's weird. .this is only what i could think of. .some songs might not get recognized by the gracenote database. .you could try playing the same song in the stock htc music player and see if you are getting the lyrics for that inside the stock music player itself. .also is there any option to update lyrics like there is in the stock player?it doesnt work with both wifi and mobile data?Also how did you guys get it to work. .the only thing to be changed is the support music channel parameter from false to true right. .maybe you could just check my screenshot in the previous post to see if everything looks alright. .Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!
I wonder what all the other flags are doing.. I guess there's no such thing as a description or any documentation of them is there?

I never had an issue with lyrics on my HTC M7 Music player. I am still on 4.4.2 as my daily use ROM but I imagine that it should be the same for the latest version as well...
