Motorola Droid X2 :: Ringtones And Notifications Seem To Change To Random Tones
Dec 3, 2011
My Droid X2 seems to randomly change the tones I have set for contact specific rings, the default ringtone and notifications. I have done 2 factory resets and it keeps doing this. Is it a setting I am messing up or is it something wrong with my phone?
I have noticed when I talk to people, I hear a random 'touch tone' like sound very intermittently.This happens if I make or receive a call and is not just when I talk to other Verizon customers.My home phone used to do this (VoIP) at times. Same sound but now its on the Razr.I never heard this calling the same people when I was on Sprint.
I know this is a Droid X issue as well. Whenever I un-mount my Droid 3 from my Mac Powerbook G4 all preset ringtones & notifications are reset to random ringtones/songs/notifications. I have to manually reset all my ringtones and notifications back to the sounds I want. It seems when the SD-cards are mounted in Mass Storage Mode, the info on the SD-cards is no longer available to the phone so it reassigns the ringtones and notifications. Once the SD-cards are re-mounted on phone the pre-set ringtones and notifications are no longer set. Unless there is a fix, I am looking to maybe root the phone and copy all my ringtones and notification tones to the system's media folder so they are permanently available to the phone.
So Im new to the site and am in desperate need of a solution to keep the peace at my house. Its the weirdest thing on min her phone will show all of her contacts when she goes to check her text. In a matter of less than 5 mins the names will disappear and it will just show numbers. She puts the phone down and picks it back up later and its magic her contact names will show up with the messages. At no time do the contact names disappear from her actual address book tho.
I have had this happen a few times. I have a custom ringtone for my Alarm Clock. I put it in a folder on the SD Card: media/alarms. When I hook up the phone through USB to organize or add/delete files using a computer, the next morning my alarm clock has defaulted to an on-phone ringtone. I was used to my sounds being different while I have the SD card actively unmounted, but the settings were always maintained when I returned.
I just finished a full wipe and chose to set up everything from scratch and not from Google backup. I know how to set up sounds for within each messaging app. But I can't find where to change it for Gmail app emails.
This problem only started for me after I installed the 3.1 update, so I don't know what else to blame it on. Every other day, or sometimes immediately after I do app updates I get unclearable app notifications in my bar. They look like notes with a gear on it. If you check it, it shows only the icon for the app it comes from & will open, but no info. if you click on it, all it does is open the app. But then it won't clear like it should. At first I thought it was just a problem with my GTD apps, because I know some like Astrid allow you take make 'hard' notifications, kinda like sticky notes. But even after I uninstalled those, others would have the same problem. Finally, and to make it worse, shutting down & resetting used to clear them, now even that is not working.
Firstly, it seems that there is not a way to set the ringtones by contact group on this phone, can someone verify this or correct me please?Next up, I was not sure if the default phone was able to do distinct sounds for different contact's incoming sms (by group is better, but again I think it's not available by default)?Finally, if the phone cannot do these by default, two more questions:What is/are the best free ap/aps in your opinion to do these things?As I am new here, where would I make the suggestion or add my voice in support of it to include these as default features?
I can't seem to get my ringtones for notifications to work properly. I have it set as the mario 1-up sound but whenever someone texts me, I hear the Mario 1-up sound plus a song from my playlist. I can't seem to change that. It's been doing this for a few days now and I can't figure out why.
Ring/Notification tones randomly change after media rebuild
I had to rebuild my media library to get rid of some "ghost " image thumbnails in the gallery. I deleted all data associated with Media Storage and rebooted.
This totally hosed up my Ring/Notification tones. Why should a rebuild of the media library make a difference?
I recently bought a few ringtones and alert tones from the ITunes store and they are missing from my phone now? Why this could be or how I can get them back?
When I set ringtones on my new xpressmusic 5800, they don't play. I tried to browse the phone's memory for them to listen, but didn't see them anywhere.Is there a simple way to preview the various ringtones / alert tones?
I haven't set anything different for anyone, but yet I get different ringtones and text tones sometimes for different people, can i reset all tones, if so how?
can anyone tell me if the new iphone has got any good ringtones and have they changed the message tones? also why wont apple let us change them every other phone i have had you can
Please help. I updated my iOS to 5 and lost my ringtones that I have purchesed. I tried the sync as suggested by the support help FQA but I never saw the tab it talks about. I still don't know how to get my ringtones back on my iPhone.
i have a bunch of ringtones all with a .m4r ext. i have them saved on a file on my desktop (as shown on the Internet video). i can not drop and drag into my itunes under tones...?
how do you retrieve the ringtones from the data card? I was able to drag/load them on to the disk "f" using a usb cord from my computer to the Droid.However, when I try to find them on the phone it doesn't show them?
lack of audible tones on keypad presses when dialing a phone number? Even though the setting is turned on and the volume levels maxed? It is not a show stopper but IS supposed to work and does give feedback that the number was accepted when pressed etc.
Today..6...6 random reboots out of no where.I bought device when it first came out and battery life has been issue..but recently, just this week, with ZERO additional apps downloaded, its rebooted on me as listed.
I recently tried to use custom tones on my i phone 3gs,i went through all the process of converting to aac,setting the 30 second time,changing the format to 4mr and putting it back into i tunes,its in the ringtone section of i tunes but it wont go into my actual ringtones section on the phone?
Moto Droid Ver 2.2.2. Starting yesterday, I am getting frequent, ramndom re-boots. I say random because they occur if it is the dock, on a table, idle or not idle, middle of a call, etc. I have not down loaded anything from the market in at least a week. It has never done this in the 18 months I have had it.
The only issue I have had on my Droid 3, to this point, as been the terrible battery I have experienced, even having bought an extended battery. It's good to hear that there will hopefully be a fix for this soon.
I am wondering if anyone else has been having their Droid 3 reboot randomly for no reason at all? I have never had this issue, but for the last 3 days, it's been happening over and over. It happened 3 times yesterday, 2 the day before, and now the second time today.
I don't know if this was even an issue for anyone since this device has apparently had more issues than most, and I've been spared from the majority of them.
I'm experiencing an issue with seemingly random changes to my nofications and ringtone settings. The email or event nofication is set to one of the stock audio files but gets altered to an audio book chapter or music file on my SD card. It's really weird to wake up to a voice reading chapter 14 of a book to me at 2:47 in the morning or to hear one of my music files suddenly start playing out of the blue. And my ringtone seems to bounce around from the one I've selected to one of the music files.
I have checked all the text message tone settings and notification settings but NOTHING is coming up at all spent bout 40 mins on this with no luck ...
My phone randomly wakes to the lock screen without me pushing anything. I have been nothing but frustrated since I got ICS. I have done everything including a factory data reset.
