[Q] ICS - only one ring when someone calls me - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm on [ROM][ICS][I9000] Team ICSSGS RC4.2 right now. It works fine, but when someone calls me my phone rings only once and then it's silent... When I'm on vibrate/vibrate+ring mode the vibration goes on like it should but there is still only one ring sound.
How to fix it? Any help?
thanx a lot in advance
villu

yes , I would like also to know how can be fixed.
thanks

Yes and me too please!

As far as I am aware it is not a ROM issue.
I had the same problem. It is only with certain ring tones. Test the ringtones and find one that loops.

I've sorted mine after reading this post.
Basically, if using a custom ringtone (MP3) you need to convert to OGG format, then add a tag to the file (there's a handy utility to do it there).
Very bizarrely, as I read elsewhere (or in that post?), the ringtones down as far as "Digital Phone" in the list DO repeat, and the ones after don't! Mine is named "Classic Bell" and so appears above, but if it came further down the list (e.g. "Old Bell"), then who knows!! I haven't tried it....
I'm on Team ICSSGS RC4.2 ROM BTW.

Helmi v 1.4 beta and Ringtones problem

Hi all,
I've searched all over the threads and can't find an answer to this problem:
I can't select a ring tone other than the default one and media player doesn't start. If i choose a different ring tone it says it's corrupted...
This happened after a few days being turned off...
I have both patches applied and no 3rd party app installed... The ringtones are in \windows\rings.
This problem also appear at the same time that psShut Xp stops working - when i click the icon on the tray nothing appears...
This problem already appeared one time and i had to hard reset to resolve it, so if anyone has a solution other that this please tell me
there is post on this!!.
this being the 3rd one.
put tone in windows or ram disk.no folder needed just drop it in..
the search is not good.dose not matter what you type in search.
you end up with more or less the same..but not what your looking for.

Cannot Use Ringtones On WM6.1

I finally got WM6.1 installed and ran into a little issue. I tried to customize the device with my old ringtones from WM6.0.
The issue is that they do not show up in the Incoming Calls area of the ringtone section. I moved them into various FOLDERS hoping that WM6.1 would see them but this didn't work. I did notice that the ringtones were showing up in the area for RECEIVED TEXT MESSAGES and other types of the sound notifications.
How can I get the ringtones that were working perfectly fine on WM6.0 to work on the latest WM6.1?
Thanks!
Did you try putting them in the "Rings" folder. That worked for me.
I have tried the following FOLDERS without any luck:
/dev/My Documents/
/dev/My Documents/Ringtones
/dev/storage card/My Documents/
/dev/storage card/My Documents/Ringtones
/dev/Windows/Rings/
Seven ringtones (mp3) that worked perfectly on W6.0 are no longer visible as choices for the "Phone: Incoming Call" area. The only options are two WAV files I use for messages being received. However, those mp3 ringtones are visible and are options under all of the send/receive notification tone menus.
I don't get why I can't choose them as phone-call ringtones...
Any thoughts?
mine is doing the same. However, my song still rings even though it does not show being the ringer selected.
/dev/Windows/Rings/
That's where I have mine.
I had the same problem and the only solution that I found was from which ever folder you music is in just press and hold down on the song, and set as ring tone. Now your phone will ring with that song, but if you go in settings/sounds/notifications it still wont come up.

I assume you are on an AT&T Tilt? If so, I had the same problem as well. It turns out that it has something to do with the file size. There's some limit ~400k for the file for it to show on your notification lists for ringtone.
I had to chop off the end of my song, and get it to 300k and then it showed/worked just fine. I'm sure this will get fixed soon.
There's a cab that enables this function. You install it and voila all your mp3's can be set as ringtones. As soon as i find the link again Ill post it. I used it and it works great.
The Fix:
Install the .cab then move the desired MP3 File to Device\My Documents\My Ringtones and you should be able to see them in your Sounds & Notifications settings program.

Okay so I may not post it since someone beat me to it. LOL
http://mikefordmustang.com/downloads/NoRingtoneLimit.cab
I've got all mine on the root of the storage card and it works just fine - can have any size ring-tone you want...
Yo what a difference a .cab can make. I was racking my brain trying to figure out the solution to this issue. I was trying to convert .mp3 to .wma, I was downgrading the audio quality of my songs trying to get their filesize down, all with no positive results. Then I find this thread install the .cab and presto it works. To the creator and posters of this fix THANK YOU!!!!!!! You saved me from a downgrade back to 6.0. :-D
Hi,
I transferred the cab file to my xda ii, has a wm6.1 rom and it just seemed to open an html internet page with the commands in.
I see my ringtones now BUT i can't find ringtones for text.
Basically I want set my own ringtone for incoming calls and then set a differnt one for my incoming sms texts... but it just shows default when I go to look in incoming sms...
If that makes sense can someone help?
I should also mention when i extract the file it is .xml - i tried chaning the file ext to .exe or .cab but no luck... im probably being stupid but all help is appreciated,
thank you
wow, thank you
WM 6.1 registry edit for ringtone file size
I upgraded from WM 6.0 to 6.1 and now my custom ring tones that are over 500Kb do not show up in the pull down menu in order to select them for contacts. This fix is to edit the registry.
- Go into HKEY_Current User > ControlPanel > Sounds
- Delete the key of FileSizeLimit
- Done, You should now be able to set any MP3 as your ringtone.
Alan
Thanks for that .cab it was driving me insane as well not being able to have any of my old ringtones that I used for 6.0 work in 6.1 Thanks a ton!!
Thank you!!! This is just what I was looking for.
Happy Holidays!
I did not want to start a new thread for this secondary issue. I loved when my Nokia bar phone made that BEEP sound with vibration. I could hear it from a distance as it was so distinct even at low volume.
This new Windows based phones suck when it comes to rings and how they sound.
Does anyone have a very distinct beep / similar ring tone that is heard well from Tilt's loudspeakers? That would be appreciated.
New registry keys display list of ringtones.
This is my first post to these fantastic forums. I think I finally found something that merits a post.
Note: I am using WM6.1 AT&T build for Blackjack II. This may not apply here if you use a custom ROM, in which case the chefs may have already remove these keys. If not, here's how you get to see your ringtones, etc. from the Settings/Sounds menus.
In WM6.1 the registry key,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds
have 2 new keys:
AllSounds
Ringtones
Each of these keys is a collection of sound files, obviously the ones shipped with the original rom. Use a registry editor to delete both keys. The time to display the list of sounds will increase if you have many sound files.
If you have a set of custom tones, you could put this list into the registry instead and the list will display much faster.
I hope this saves someone some time and frustration.

Can you tell me how to install the NoRingtoneLimit.cab to my phone. This is new to me thk u.

text message custom tones?

hey all~
so this is my first post here, hope this is in the right thread (if not i apologize and ask the admins to plz move it?)
anyhows, i has a tytn2 (at&t tilt of course) its all upto date and all. i was wondering....i know i can set custom ring tones for contacts for when they call, is there any way (free way) to set custom tones for when somebody texts?
i had my old phone (motorolla rokr z6) set to do that and would like to have my new phone set that way too but i can't find how to or if its even possible anywhere....
thanks all

Ok, I think I got two questions out of that test. J/K
1. Edit: Sorry about that. I didn't read properly.
2. To assign notification sounds. Start>Settings>Personal>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications. Open the Event: drop down, find the event, Open the Ring tone: select the sound, turn on Play sound, finished.
Notification sounds reside in the \Windows\ root folder of the device. I like to put ring tones into the \Windows\Rings\ folder. They work in other folders but I find the Rings folder neater than the root for example and thats what the Rings folder is meant for anyway.
Hope that works for you.
U cant assign different ringtones for text messages to contacts. For that u will probably need some 3rd party application.
hey all~
hurm, okay well if i can't then does anyone know of any 3rd party app that can do it? i know pcm can NOT do it for text's (but they can for calls) . . .
thanks for the help guys and gals
~j
try mortring. you can personalize rings for calls and sms according to individual or category.
although it's been slightly buggy since i upgraded to 6.1, it still does the job well enough.
somynex~
thanks ill google it right now
~j
Try photo contacts. You can assign text tones to individuals on it
hey all~
so igrabed mortringand installedit buthad no luck with it working :-( so i guess ill look into that other suggested program....
like i said it's not a big deal, just something i would likes (it shouldn't surprise anyone as my screen name should imply i'm a linux guy [ubuntu is a linux distro.] and i love everythiing tweaked as much as possible lol)
~j
sorry to hear that mortring didn't work. in WM6 and before it seems to intercept the call and then change the ring.
But in WM6.1 it seems to have to change the ringtone for each contact/category according to the ring i set it to, which can take a long time. the first time after i set the rings, thought my phone froze up. but actually it was just taking its time setting the rings for each contact (and takes a long time when one has a lot of contacts/categories).
anyway after the first couple days of freezes, it seems to work fine now and hasn't froze up on me since.
somynex~
maybe i'll give it another go then....i tried with my brothers contact info. changed his txt tone then had him txt me....maybe i needed to let it sit for longer to 'finish the change' . . .
thanks for the extra info

No problem mate.
Here's a post of mine from almost 4 years ago that you can use with Mortring (free) to make custom notifications for your contacts.
Okay I figured out how to create a custom notification/ringer.
1: go to http://public.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
And type in what you'd like for the notification or ring to say and then
download it after picking a voice. (keep in mind sometimes you have to purposely
misspell certain word to get them to be pronounced correctly. For example for DJ
I had to spell it as d j).
2: rename that file you downloaded into something you'd like.
3: move that .wav file to your devices /windows directory.
4: go to start - settings - sounds & notifications - notifications (select the
event you'd like to change the ring for and select the respectable audio file).
If using Mortring in step 4 assign that .wav for your contact(s).
dj~
wow thanks, from 4 years ago...kewl that u looked it up fo rme i appreciate it and will be off to create
~j
Of course.. then there's always Electricpocket Ringo. It lets u assign ringtones and sms tones individually, or to groups. The best I've used so far.

Free? I tried Ringo over a year ago and it slowed down my phone a lot.
hey all~
i got mortRing working! seems pretty good, works for sure. one thing though...it seems that everytime i get a text from someone whos got a personalized tone, that wmp opens to try to play the wav file (and go figure, wav=windows audio video...wmp says it can't play wavs lol)
i think i may have fixedn it with a registry tweak, have to wait till someone with a custom tone texts me back lol
~j
hey all~
ok so this question is probably for those who have or have used mortRing....everytime a custom notification comes my media player opens :s
i went in the registry and undid the default wmp handling of wav files (as the ringtones...err text tones lol that mortRing recognizes are wav's) but then it opened a dialouge saying it didn't know how to handle the wav file (nvm it played lol) ii changed the default to mort player but it still opens whenever one of the custom contacts text me....at least mort closes quicker then wmp...but still would be nice to get it to stop...
so any ideas? a registry hack (i'm comforatable doing that, even though im a linux guy i work on peoples win-slows computers....a LOT) anything?
thanks
~j
I have an older version of Mortring that doesn't have that problem.
DJ~
do you happen to know what version number you have? thanks

[Q] Original Captivate Message Tones

Hi all, I recently upgraded to the Cognition 4 ROM on my Captivate but I don't like any of the message notification sounds. Frankly I kind of got used to the default Captivate AT&T sounds for my notifications. As you may suspect though, I did not back up these tones so I was wondering if someone out there still has the default image on their phone (or just the tone) and could upload it to me? I've been looking all over to download it but I can't even remember what it's called. I just know it's the default sound. If you want to zip the whole directory, that's fine with me as well.
Any help would be appreciated, even if you could tell me the name of it so as I can search for it myself.
Thanks!
-maj
P.S.
I think the file name might be pause.ogg.
if someone could find this in their /system/media/sounds/notifications folder and post it, I'd be very happy!
Here, under "Cog3.02Audio. Enjoy...

Same question yesterday, no answers till now.
I'm using my own ringtone on Tiramislim v2. I could choose it in the ringtone list in the sound settings.
What you can try is copy the file to: [\sdcard\media\audio\ringtones (or Notifications for SMS/Alarm/etc.) and see if it's in the list in the sound settings.
I also set a ringtone from poweramp with no problem.
Hope the above will work for you!
STILL NOTHING this is b*shi*
I managed to get a ringtone for any call, but not for my friends and family :/ I have a custom ringtone for my default call. But still I can't assign a different ringer to a different person... WTF?! On my last ROM - no problem. Different person - different ringer... This is bugging me... It's a small detail but men is it annoying...
