Hi everybody,
I cannot change default ringtone or default notification sound.
Under both of these option is written "unknow ringtone". When I try to set up a new one, it's not saving. More over I cannot see anymore my ringtones saved in the "ringtone folder" of my SD card.
I've also tryed a third party app (Zedge) and why I try to change I got an error message "something goes wrong".
This morning, I noticed that the option to set a personnal ringtone for each contact have disapear...
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks

Talking of sounds i did notice there was a charging sound - ( sound to let you know the USBC cable is connected ) however this has never worked
I finally restored the phone to default settings.
There were a thousant of ".nomedia" files every where on the internal SD.

Some sounds do not show up in the Sounds Notifications control panel. Is there any way to change these hidden System sounds? For instance, where I am, each time the data connection disconnects I receive a message from my service provider and it is the Notify.wma sound. I would like to change that sound to something else (less jarring) but I cannot find where it is.
I will second this, I would like to change the key click.
You can put your sounds in the Application Data/Sounds file. They will show up in your drop down list.
OR do what I do.. I use a program called JUST TONES and all my custom ringers are on my memory card. THis progam does a lot but one thing it does is allow me to assign system sounds to the ringers on my memory card...

I think the OP is asking how they can be changed, not asking how to have more choices of sounds.
That one is listed (and modifiable) under Settings (All Settings)>Sounds and Notifications>Notifications. "Connection disconnected" and "Connection established" are both listed....so pick a different sound.
I copied a group of .wav files that I use for custom rings and txt message sounds and such to my SD card. The files show up as options when I set the "notification" sound, but do not show up when I try to set the phone ringtone. Am I missing something here? Is there a special place I have to copy the files in order to use them as "phone" ringtones?
Just find the file in the music app, open the file you want, hit menu and select "set as ringtone"
Thanks! It's weird that you have to do that in such a roundabout way.
how are you setting them for text message tones?
try Rings Extended app
lets u choose any audio file on your card to set for a ringer or anything else
havent used ring extender, but ringdroid lets you take clips out of your music as well and then save them as whatever type of notification you want.
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.
This is a strange one.
I have uploaded some songs onto my phone's memory (not SD card) and set one of them to be my ringtone for all contacts.
It works OK for a while, and then suddenly when someone calls me, I hear the default ringtone of the device (instead of the one I set)...
Then, when I go to the device's Sound & Notifications settings, I see that the ringtone that's displayed as the selected one is still the one I manually selected, but when i try to play it, it plays the default phone ringtone instead.
I can only get the real song to play after i remove it from the list and re-add it.
Any ideas?
I already turned the Ringtone ID setting off, and I have no SD card installed on the device.

It happened both when saved contacts and unsaved numbers called me.
Thing is that when I go to the Sound & Notifications settings, my selected ringtone now plays the default ringtone instead of the correct song. -:0
My selected ringtone is called "Stone the Crow".
When I go to the Sound & Notifications settings I see that this song is still selected, but when I click to play it, it plays the default device ringtone instead of Stone the Crow...

The songs are standard mp3 format, but I'll give it a shot and notify -
Ok, so I think the issue is solved, following your suggestion.
There are several possible reasons, in case any one else ever has the same issue.
My original files' extensions were in caps (MP3) and were transferred to the phone via Airdroid to the Music folder.
My fix was that i converted my MP3 to a FLAC file and saved it without caps. I also saved the file in the download folder instead of the music folder.
For now it has been over 24 hours without the ringtone being reset, so I'm guessing it was either the MP3 format, the extension or the music folder...
Thanks! -
I know how to change the general notification sound, and it works; but how do I change the notification sound with a custom .wav or. mp3 and it actually works?
I chased it in the Messages settings and it shows the filename selected. When I exit the settings menu and receive a text, it plays the previous default notification sound. I cchecked the Messenger settings and it still showed the custom file I chose as the current notification sound.
I tried the same steps and restarted the device and the sound never actually changes.
Any ideas?

I think you need to convert your audio file to .ogg file
Also, I discovered you have to wait about 30 seconds after you select a sound for it to be activated.
There are free mp3 to ogg convertors on the Internet. I used this one:
Convert to OGG

Firstly,
I have a N975F Note 10 +
This is what i do .
My methods works fine for me
Just a pointer that i do use mp3 for any notifications ,ringtones etc , no issues.
i also can use wav files ,no issues .....
Not just ogg.
Anyway i use 2 x methods to access these sounds settings.....
either my sms notification sound or general notification sound
eg email, news etc
First through Sms/ 3 dot / /settings / notification /new messages etc.
I use a mp3 sound.
Secondly Device /Settings /Sound and vibration /Notification / etc etc
See the 2 x ways below for the relevant screenshot methods.
Good luck.
Just download one of those ringtone maker apps. Load up your file and save it as a notification sound. Easy Peasy
