I put one mp3 on my phone. This is the second or third time this has happened now. It just disappears. Where does it keep going? I had no idea I had an incoming call because the phone was going do dee doot some stupid internal ringtone when I have a kick ass song of my friends bands that's supposed to play.
I don't have the song with me because I am at work, so I have to remote into my home computer, send the file to myself.
Seems to disappear out of nowhere too. The problem is I might not notice when it happens right away since I don't receive phone calls very often. I might only receive 2 or 3 calls a month, if that.
But I can say I've not changed anything.. only really install a few games.
Does the ringtone appear in the list of available ringtones after changing? Make sure you put the ringtone in your 'ringtone' folder in the internal storage.

I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, anytime I set a ringtone for anyone they never (or VERY rarely) work...it still just plays the default ringtone all the time. This has been going on since I got my slide, even before I rooted...anybody else? Anyone know of a fix?

I've noticed that almost every time I plug the slide in as a disk drive, it resets to default ringtones (if I had it set to custom ringtones from the SD card). I think all Android phones do this, since the phone cannot access the SD card when it's mounted by a computer. The Slide doesn't seem to revert itself gracefully to the custom ringtones when it's unplugged.

I know that, that's just a side effect of the way android mounts as mass storage...
Its more than that...I have a ringtone set for my g/f who calls me like 20 times a day, and it always rings the default ringtone instead of her ringtone...its not just while its plugged in, default is the only ringtone I ever hear anymore...
I'm just trying to see if anyone else has this problem or if its just me...

Does your caller ID still work properly? Also, I'd try saving the phone number EXACTLY as it shows up in caller ID. IE: If the caller ID displays 252-555-1234 and you have the number saved as 555-1234, I've seen some phones not recognize it as a saved contact.
Fake Edit: You are referring to ringtones save to a specific contact, right? Or does this happen when setting the default ringtone to the phone as well?
as far as i know caller ID is fine...my g/f's name and picture show up, it just rings with my default tone. so you know my ringtone is one i made with ringdroid and its on my sdcard and if i plug in usb and mount as disk drive, then it will play whatever it is set to be in the ROM when someone calls, but any other time itll play the default tone i set, its the only one i set that WILL play. its the ringtones i set for individual contacts, they dont play, it just plays the ringtone that i have set to default. ill take a look at my numbers formatting and see if that'll fix anything...

But .. then you not know if it is your phone.
.... Randomacts kinda has a point there. haha. How would you know it's your phone ringing if a random song plays every time it rings. It would actually probably drive you nuts. Every time you'd hear music, you'd pull the phone out of your pocket just to make sure.
Year get your point but I want to be able to setup either my Pandora or satellite radio as my alarm.
I guess that would be to silly to have a random ringtone.
Steve
Yea. As far as i'm aware, it's not possible. I could be wrong... but i really don't see anybody else having thought of doing that and developing an app or something for it considering what was already pointed out.
I have actually thought it would be neat to have random ringtones, but i highly doubt it would even be possible through pandora or any other streaming type source. The only way i see it even being feasible is if pandora was constantly streaming in the background and just passed the audio through to the speaker when the ringtone is called upon. As far as my thoughts towards random ringtones i have a handful i like to switch between, most of which are ones i've ripped from mp3's, something like a ringtone playlist that just picked a random tone from the list. This way you would still know it was your phone ringing.
Hello, I have the LG G3 and I find some problems in it.
1) I've put some pictures to some contacts, like my parents, girlfriend, sister and more, and the pictures are shown in the contacts list, but when I call them or they calling me I don't see their picture in the circle in the middle of the call screen. This is should be like that or I should see their pictures?
2) I went running outside and I listened to music from my phone, but in the middle of the running the volume started to make problems, like turn up the volume or turn it down and I actually "fought" to keep it in the level I want. It happened once when I ran with it, and since then I didn't run with my phone. It happened to my Galaxy S3 just before I replaced it with the LG G3, and I was listening with my LG earphones so it can't be a problem in the earphones. This problem doesn't exist when I listen to music in the bus or something.
3) I tried to organize songs in some playlists but I find that it is very hard to drag a song to another place its dragging other songs and make a whole mess in my playlist.
Could you help me with this? maybe I just done something wrong.. Thanks!
Someone can help me please?
So this problem I have had I am assuming since the first day I bought the phone. Everytime I try to change the ringtone, no matter what ringtone I change it to, it somehow always defaults to this "kimchee" ringtone. It would sometimes ring to the ringtone I change it to but for the most part it would ring to the "kimchee" ringtone. The odd thing about it is that I can't find this "kimchee" ringtone anywhere on my phone. It's nowhere to be found, so I dunno how it's ringing to that ringtone. I am not rooted so I can't look too deep in the system files. I've tried a hard reset and clearing the media storage cache and none of those options work. Clearing the cache worked for a day and then somehow went back to the "kimchee" ringtone when I get calls. Anyone have this happen to them or have a fix? Thanks.
No one else has run into this problem?
I read your post yesterday and to be honest, it was rather amusing reading your post. I don't really know how you got this kimchee ringtone. By the way u know what kimchee mean?? Its a traditional Korean side dish which is chilly pickled cabbage lol... Maybe u got that ringtone specially made for you by LG??
Sometimes when receive incoming call, phone won't ring, just vibrate. That's happening randomly, sometimes it's ok for 2 days and then start, sometimes on every couple of calls, for 2-3 calls it's not ringing and then start to ring normally again... Of course, I'm not in silent mode, volume is set to max, when enter settings and select ringtone, it plays fine...
This start when I upgrade to Lollipop, on stock rom and custom roms, tried 4-5 roms, all Sense. I run RUU for couple of times, for clean start of new rom, my firmware is up to date, but it happens every time, so I think it is Lollipop problem, not rom.
Is anyone experienced this problem too, or know some solution?
Thanks.
So no one have this problem? For everyone phone rings fine every time?
Try to restart the phone. It will solve the problem for you. My wife's phone had same problem and that's what I did.
Yes, I restart the phone and the problem re-apear shortly, so that is not the solution.
m8 problem
I have the same fcking problem for over 2-3 months now and I think it's lollipop problem, it's very annoying every day I got dozens of missed calls ...i don't know what to do, did you find anything ?? Thanks
Did you set some ringtone which came with Lollipop, or some of yours personal ringtones?
I always use my ringtone, simple mp3 file, but I select one of pre-installed ringtone about 3 weeks ago and have no problem since. Don't know why, but it seems that Lollipop have some problems with some mp3 files. Those files plays perfectly well in any music app on phone, but if you set it like ringtone, sometimes ringing and sometimes not.
I found some program that helps to "convert files to Android-playable" so I convert my mp3 ringtone with that program (still mp3, but larger size) and will see if that helps.
I have done it today so must pass week or two to be sure if it helps or not, will post here.
So, my converted ringtone didn't work. Then I tried to put the mp3 file in to /system/media/audio/ringtones where the other ringtones are, but that didn't work either. I noticed that most of stock ringtones are in .flac format, so I converted my ringtone to .flac and it worked! My phone rings normally for 2 weeks now.
So, if anyone have problem with their custom ringtones, just convert them to .flac format with any sound converter on PC and that will be fine.
Ok I will do it your way, just to inform you, I did a factory reset for nothing same as before everything is working like, notification sound, message sound, music player but still no incoming sound, this is a really fcked up thing, it's nothing to repair the software is fcked up I guess,I am so dissapointed
Just convert your ringtone to .flac format with any free converter (ask Google), and it will be fine. For me, it's working over the month now.
The ringtone sound is fine now(tried it your way), but now I have another problem with mic, when someone tries to call me they can't hear me only on speaker mode, really mad now X(.
It might look silly, but try to make G calibration (Settings>Display & gestures>G-sensor calibration)
