Noitification Ringtone issue (Solved)

I am pulling my frickin hair out trying to figure this, so I am asking for help.
I am running xRom, everything up-to-date, and the only 3rd party messaging app I have is SMS Popup, which has been disbaled throughout my entire problem.
The issue is that whenever I get a text it is playing a full song out off my sdcard, despite my ringtone being set to "Don't Panic" in the settings. I erased the song w/ Linda File Manager, and after that it chose a random tone to play, not the one I had set. This is more acceptable to me since it is an actual messaging tone (1 or 2 notes) but I am just worried it is going to choose another song at some point, which is way too long when you are texting back and forth with someone.
Any ideas?
Edit: Ok I opened SMS Popup (disabled already) to double check it was turned off, and now it vibrates, which really sucks, I am rarely close enough to hear or feel the vibrations...

Try doing a wipe and then flash. That might fix it. If you have a partitioned sd card, try repartioning it...

That sounds like an extreme but it will work
You know that there are 2 places you can set your notifications from right? Once is menu/settings/sounds and display and the other one is when you open up messaging app hit menu/settings/notification settings,
See if that has anything to do with your problem before you start nuking your partitions
Good luck

This led me to the answer, thanks. What had happened was in the messaging application at some point I had selected the music, not realizing the two weren't tied together, which would make too much sense. Anyhow, I erased the song, so now nothing was selected, so for some reason it was cycling thru the different ringtones, which makes no sense, but whatever. So I set it back to the "Default Ringtone" option, and now it works fine. Thank God I didn't have to wipe, I probably would have just dealt with it for another few days, cause wiping stresses me worse than this **** did.

Cyanogen alarm clock question

Hi guys,
I was wandering why cyan keeps messing with the alarm clock. One update he will have 2 sounds, the next (4.3) has only the crappy non hearable buzzer sound. Also his ROMS only allow up to 10 alarms to be set. I'm a hard sleeper takes more lol. I was wandering if it was possible to use the original alarm clock used in donut and if so where can I get it from.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Go into system/apps and replace old with new and reboot.
Please provide me with a link to do so.
Thanks,
Nick

You can add notifications...

no u can't.
only sound notification is the buzzer sound.

Yes, you can.
/system/media/audio/notifications/

or:
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
because adding to notifications they may not show in the alarm clock app.

put a .nomedia file in the alarms folder, should still show op in alarms, but not in music

Entirely unnecessary, if you have them in the correct structure, they won't show in your media player.
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/ui
that is how Android expects to find them, and if they are like that it won't pick them up in the music player.

Thank you all for your help. All the info I needed has been provided. Thank you for the link to the audio files.

I dunno if this is the right thread about my problem, but it has to do with the alarm clock.
Some how when i goto pick my alarm i have the default Buzzer sound along with 3 other of the same name. and ive searched the sdcard and the root sys for the these files but fail to find them.
what started it was i tried to download a ringtone through the browser and could never find it on the system or in the ringtones list... some how they ended up in the alarms list.
and help would be great

Can't set my own custom ringtones anymore?

I recently upgraded to JH7, and realized that I can no longer use my own specific audio files as ringtones anymore...its only letting me use the stock ringtones.
When I go to Settings > Sound and Display > Voice call ringtone , the only ringtones I can choose from are the ones that came with the phone. It's the only thing that pops up. Theres nothing for me to click anymore that lets me search my android system for audio files.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I never noticed a way to browse for ringtones. What I did was create two folders on the internal storage.... one called ringtones and one called notifications. I placed my sound files in those folders, disconnect USB then I can see them in the list of choices when selecting a ringtone or notification sound.

Did you maybe apply the GPS fix that results in media scanner FC'ng? From what I can work out that is the kind of thing media scanner does on boot or remounting of the sdcard, it scans for media to add to the various areas so if it isn't running that would explain why the custom ringtones aren't showing up in the list.
Alternatively you could use My Files to browse your sdcard and set the ringtone that way.

Can you plug your phone into the computer, choose mass storage, then pull the notifications down to choose "mount" then use Windows explorer to see internal storage?

No, I have no GPS fix installed. The only thing I have is the I897UCJH7 by designgears and root.

When viewing internal storage in Windows Explorer, Do you have a notifications and ringtones folder at the root? If not, create them and drop sound files in there, unplug and try again. If you already have them, see if you are able to rename the existing files or drop new ones in the folers, unplug and try again. Also try restarting the phone. If that doesn't work, I am not sure what else to do, sorry.

under /sdcard/ there should be media folder
create the following directories if they don't exist:
Code:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications/
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms/
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/
Drop the audio files you want into those specific directories and they will appear in the chooser when you're in settings.

I'm having a problem with ringtones in contacts. Not able to set custom ones for contacts. Well I can set em, they just aren't used. The general ringtone is used. Idk, bout to wipe again. Any suggestion?

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think there was ever an option under "Settings > Sound and Display > Voice call ringtone" for custom sounds. I vaguely remember not being able to find it there either when I first got my phone in July. So I'm assuming the update from last week didn't "remove" this. I think the only way to set a custom ringtone is to apply it to individual contacts in the Contacts app.

I had thought the same thing a few times because I simply forgot to click Save after I chose the actual ringtone on my SD card. What happened was that I went to my contact, then I set a custom ringtone and I assumed by choosing it that I was good. But then I mistakenly hadn't clicked Save before I backed out of the Contacts app so it defaulted back to the default ringtone.
Not sure if you did the same thing as I did. Just wanted to put it out there.

Thanks, but I have saved many times with many different ringtones. In t their contact info, I can se the ringtone is set for phone, google, ect, but when they call, I get to ear the standard ringtone. They are all f ringtones I got with the zedge app. Idk.

Uhh, this thread is really old, but I found out how to bypass this problem.
If you use a the app Ringdroid (free) you can use it to set ringtones. Apparently it actually adds them to your ringtone folder because the show up in the settings menu afterwards.

Yeah. Ringdroid is all you need...

My problem was with the first rooting process saving all of your settings as they were and not letting you change them. Wifi, ringtones, gps, everything.

notification sound not working others are

like that title states notification for text wont sound tried changing the sound nothing all others work tho ringtone for voicemail everything. just cant figure it out.

Just to cover the basics,
Did you do the following:
1) Go to Settings, Sound, Volume and make sure everything is up?
2) Under Settings, Sound and in the Feedback area, make sure that all the appropriate options are selected?
3) Reboot the phone?
4) Use the volume switch on the side to go to completely silent and then push it back up?

Are your mp3 files playing?
Sent from my captivate running firefly!

yep ive done all that stuff mp3 files will play even when im selecting a new tone on the msgs it plays there just wont play when i get a msg. i am using zedge if that helps

the email ringtone that i set for my msg ringtone worked ugh this is pissing me off.

Are you on a custom ROM? I guess it is possible this is a side effect of a bad flash. Might want to try reflashing whatever ROM you are on. Make sure you backup first, but when you restore don't restore system data. Part of that system data could be your problem and you would just be restoring it, thus putting you in an endless loop.

i am on a custom rom continuum v4 but ive been using this one for almost 2 months

If you have root explorer or another file system app, check in your system\media\audio folder. Under the notifications folder, see if you have anything in there. I have had a bad flash wipe my ringtones before and had to download some I wanted. Just a thought

Try this : go to Messaging/menu/settings. The VERY last option will set your sms tone.

well it started working when i did that i noticed it was really low so when it played i turned the volume up and it started working

[SOLVED] Get Rid of "Internal storage is 75% full."

I have searched around but not found a solution to when this situation is actaully valid and the system is reporting corectly.
I constantly get this notification. I have about 1.5gb free which is more than enough for me to not have to worry for a while.
How do I get rid of this notification and stop it comming up without deleting videos/games(shouldnt have to be deleting stuff when i still have 1.5gb free), or even can I change it to come up when i reach 90 or 95% full?
Thanks

There is a possibility to delete this but I've heard this break another thing which is pretty important to our phones.

Because I know how much data I have on it. I have gone through it with a fine tooth comb over the last week or soo, culling any residual data left by old apps, clearing cahced files from the the likes of dropbox etc. And if it does free up an extra gig or so to get rid of the notification it this will only be temporary until I take a few more photos/videos and it will re-appear. I dont see the point in the space if I can not use the last 2.5gb of space unless I put up with an irritating notification.

SOLVED IT
Settings -> Apps -> All -> Memory
Unticked show notifications. BOOM gone.
Shame same solution doesnt work for the mobile data notification.

hmm, ok, I had this problem once a well and when I checked into it I was using less than 10% of the available memory. my method solved the problem of the wrong notification.

Yeh all the solution I could find on here were people complaining about it who only had small amounts of data in their internal memory. My issue was the fact I had actually exceeded the 75% as stated in my original post. I dont see why this is not configurable. I see the point to it just not for me, 25% of our storage space is still quite a bit of storage and not really something to worry about unless you are recording huge videos. 95% which is a little over 500mb left would seem more logical to me personally.

keep ur finger on that notification till u enter the details
uncheck the show notifications
no need to delete any thing

Hey,
If you use "Elixir 2" and go to Apps, choose "system apps", and find the app "phone" or "dealer" (I think) ... when you go to its "details" you can shut that mobile data notif off. just find the right one to disable.
