Create a "Ringtones" folder in your internal memory and place whatever you want to use as your ringtone there. It will automatically show up at the bottom of the list without needing to push the music symbol.

No clue, never used it myself
Maybe something with the updated walkman application?
Remove the update if you have it or update the app if you didn't already.

Indeed you are correct my friend, i decided to re flash to stock and re root, after deleting all the bloatware individually i did find that walkman was the suspect, i have kept the app on my phone for now but would like to know if there is a work around as i dont use the walkman app, regards.

Press your menu button and choose Manage Apps. From there find the Media Storage app, and select the Clear Data option. Reboot your phone, and the problem should be fixed

Yeah, it was a pretty common problem for most people flashing to early versions of ICS roms, I think its a one time fix though - so you won't see it happen as you flash any other ROMs.
Glad to help
Also noticed another problem. Using the stock camera as it saves to SD is fine but if you use a 3rd party camera in my case camera FX so as to save to emmc you can't delete pictures/videos, they will remove from gallery but not the card and will pop back up again in the gallery unless deleted through file explorer.

can anyone help ?
search the melody that u want than long press on it...it will appear a menu and select set as ringtone

A problem I've run into with both cm9 and cm10 is that it ignores my choice of ring tone. I can select them, but almost randomly it will just ignore the fact I've chosen it. Nor will it default back to cyan tone but this obscure quiet beep. Which is a bit annoying as it is almost as if my phone turned on silent.
Had to avoid almost all CM based roms. Hope there is a solution, Cyangenmod has come along beautifully.

How did you set ringtone? Through system menu? Maybe use your media player to set it and try if problem still exists.

I have a different problem. I set ringtone, it prompt me "Andriod System or ES Explorer". I pick ES Explorer as default to select the ringtone in one of the folder. Now every time I want to change a ringtone or notification it goes to ES Explorer. How to go revert to stock?
Go to your stock music player.
Long press and select the song.
A menu appears and select it as your ringtone.

Hi, I'm using Xperia TX with .197 firmware (unlocked BLoader). I noticed that after downloading images from the internet to my phone, the "album" didn't show those new images. I had to reboot the phone for them to show up. Is there any way to make the library auto-update or any magic button to update it?
:fingers-crossed: Thanks

Have you tried stopping the app, then relaunching it? I believe this will force a media rescan.(settings, apps, force stop)

thank you Baz, for reminding me of this workaround, I haven't seen this problem since my x10 days.
But it feels weird to be doing that everytime I download media from the net. It's a $500+ phone after all. Do you have this problem at all or is it just me?

I must admit I have not tried it yet, but I did notice that when I deleted a few images I had on my ext sd card they still showed up in album, perhaps it is unavoidable, otherwise media's scan would have to run constantly!?

Hello Everyone!
This is my first post here, so sorry if I do something wrong. I'll learn from my mistakes.
Ok, so I have a Xperia Z1 and yesterday I used the Gracenote (build in app) to get information of all my music (around 500 songs). Well, the problem is that out of all my 500 (mp3 songs) 400 are Romanian songs. And this Gracenote app put wrong covers, names and all that stuff to my music.
Then, I deleted all my music and put it back to the z1, and unfortunately it did not work.
My question is:
How can I delete all the data that this service (Gracenote) put on my device? because all my songs are now ruined.
If its a system app you will have to root to delete it. Use titanium backup.
If not, then goto system/apps and delete it there. You should be able to delete all app data and caches from there as well.

I think OP does not want to delete Gracenote. He wants to delete the Gracenote info.
Maybe OP can clear the app data and cache for the walkman app and see if it works?

Thank you for your answers. I can not find any info on my system about this Gracenote software/app. I would have deleted it but I can't find anything at all, and yes Beautyspin...I just want to delete the info of it. I hope there is a way of doing that without rooting the device...
Thanks anyways all your answers guys. So my problem is still not solved (
So my problem is still not solved...I'm still hoping someone has an idea on how can I get ride of that Gracenote information (without rooting the device)...thanks
Have u tried clearing app data and app cache? In settings-> apps->all look for the app (gracenote, or walkman) clear data.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Under Settings -> Apps -> All, there's a Download music info app. Perhaps you can try clearing the data and cache for that app. Not sure if that's Gracenote though.

Thanks for your idea hush66, but I did not find anything related to Gracenote in there...
This is soooooo annoying...how could Sony agree to have an app like this?...They basically force me to do a factory reset (that will probably fix it)...but I don't want to do that...

You can also put all your music onto your laptop and use mp3tag to edit all the album art and info, then just put it back on your phone

On my laptop it does not say anything at all about this gracenote app, when I go to music info on the laptop it shows what it should show, I mean the real album covers/names. If I go in the folders where each album is, everything is fine...put when I put them back to my z1 (after deleting them from z1) ...they come back with the album cover/names that Gracenote put to them.

OK, I do suggest you root and delete the app.
How does it look in the Walkman app?
Here you can see where how the app looks, you go in it by
WALKMAN -> Settings -> Download music info
Not what I meant.
How does your album art look when you play music in Walkman app? Is it correct or is it the same as gracenote

Well, it looks wrong, for example...
I have an album of an romanian rapper (Nane - Relaxo) and this app has changed the name and the cover of the album in something related to christmas (The Christmas project) so now, whenever I go there, it says: Random Artist - The Christmas Project..and it's this for almost all of my songs...
If I go into the folder (not thru the Walkman app) it will show correctly, and in the folder I can't see any images added or something like that. This is the same for my z1 and laptop.

Delete your songs from device and move to any flash or computer storage. Then return them to your device again. Sorry for my english☺
Hi guys
When editing a contact and adding a picture to it, it used to give me several options, like whether I would like to add the picture from Album, Picture Editor, Picture Viewer, File Manager etc and then it would ask Once Only or Always...
Well somehow Dropbox got selected together with the Always option so whenever I want to add a photo to my address book it only now offers me Dropbox.
I can't figure out for the life of god how to reset or reverse that so that I can select photos from my album again...
Any help?
Please... Lol
Thanks!!

The only way which I know is to uninstall Dropbox form Android and install again, after that when you will select the pictures will appear all the options.
Thanks I will try that!

Yhea, I know, in this case working what way. If you do this with Whazzup, for example you want send a pic and you select Always with Album, in this case you don't have to uninstall Whazzup but just keep pushing the botton attachment and the option will appear. Should working that way for everything but actually is not.

Or you could go to SETTINGS > APPS and then "clear default" in the app you don't want to be the selected by default... Is not necessary to uninstall...

Ok, so try this, go to Whazzup, and try to send a picture to someone, whazz will ask you which album or whatever you want to use, select always and the Album which you like, now when you want to send a pictures you will always use the same app with the album which you selected by default.
Now go to Settings > Apps > Whazzapp and see in you can click on Clear Default, because to me is not working in that way, maybe with some app only.

Because the one you need to clear is not whatsapp... Should be the app that is by default opening the pictures... for example "Settings > Apps > "Gallery or media app opening the pictures by default in whatsapp" then "Clear default"... I hope I could make myself clearer this time...
I hope it helps
