[Q] VZW Custom ringtone and Voice Assistance - Moto X Q&A

Anyone having problems specifically with having a custom ringtone on the Verizon Moto X? Specifically, I have an mp3 file that I've placed in the ringtones folder and rebooted etc. The usual process and it does not appear in the list of possible ringtones in settings.
I'm also having an issue with voice assistance over bluetooth. This only occurs for Google sponsered apps like Navigation and Motorola Assist (specifically with the driving mode text voice over).
Anyways, I've been using Waze as a workaround, but if anyone could help me out that would be just dandy.
Thanks.

Issues? Add them to this list...

Okay, so since I'm having a few kind of big issues, I thought I'd start a list. If anyone has any solutions, please speak up! Yes, I'm rooted, but that's it. I'm running the stock ROM, and these issues existed before I rooted.
1) Silence mode doesn't work. I can get it to go to vibrate mode only by using the hardware keys; setting it in Settings or through a toggle doesn't work, despite the icons showing in the status bar. When on Silent, the phone still vibrates (and sometimes makes sounds still). This is a pain at night, however, since I've gotten Vibrate to work consistently using the volume keys, I put "Do Not Disturb Me" on my phone for night, and that properly silences the phone. The bonus there is I can schedule DND times.
2) I can't save incoming pictures from MMS. In Messaging, I'm not even given the option to, but I use Chat Heads anyway through FB Messenger. When I open an image there, I'm given the option to save it, but I get an error every time that it can't be saved. It's kind of frustrating.
3) Google Photos Sync doesn't work. It's checked in my sync settings, but unlike every other Android device I've owned, online albums don't show in Gallery.
Okay, the picture saving issue is related to Facebook Messenger. I'm seeing the same issue on my LG Optimius G. However, it doesn't look like you can save pictures using the stock Messaging app anyway, so I installed Go SMS Pro to open MMS messages if I need to save photos. I had to turn off it handling SMS and suppressing other apps' notifications, but now I have a workable solution to that until Facebook updates Messenger.
For the record, I've heard from an app developer that there is a firmware issue with many HTC devices that prevents them from switching volume states correctly when the device is playing audio streams like music or podcasts. In my case, this prevents Locale from silencing my phone when I get to work because I'm always listening to podcasts in the morning when I arrive, so the state transition fails, and I have to manually change it after stopping my podcast.

Hmm, I could see that, but it fails even if I'm not doing anything with the phone.
After the OTA, I'm still having the silence bug when using a toggle or WidgetLocker, but I can successfully get it to truly silence using the volume keys. I'll take that, especially since I don't think that's a bug everyone's experiencing anyway. Still not getting online albums in Gallery.
-Can't share files via bluetooth, theoption simply isn't available in the share menu
-All received messages play as slideshows, and not in full screen when clicked on

[Q] Google Voice and Null23

Anyone know how to get past the voicemail settings option when setting up Google Voice on Null23?
It gets to the carrier settings and crashes the app every time, even is you choose to skip the settings.
Google voice thinks the Gear is a phone, on a tablet it doesn't ask you any of those questions because
it thinks the device is not voice enabled.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem.
Same trouble with unlocked Nexus 6 purchased few month ago from US T-Mobile.
But custom notifications works for 3rd party apps like GMail etc..

[Q] outlook appointment to contact manager in android

Hi Everyone,
I have a problem that I am trying to find a way to work-around. I use the app conference caller and IMO it is a fantastic app for people like me who have to join multiple calls on a conf bridge. Till recently I have used a variety of phones from note3 to MI Redmi1s to moto X to moto G and it worked perfectly fine on either the company ROM or custom ROMs.
I recently picked up a OnePlusOne (OPO) and since then have seen that this particular app does not work as expected, ie., when trying to join a conf with the dial out number as well as the leader/attendee PIN, it just comes to the dialer and stops there.
I am not sure if the app is broken or the phone does not support certain apps. Well, I need to have a way of using a one-touch call to get onto my conference and I was wondering if there is a way to use outlook calendar events to import/dial out directly from my phone with the right toll-free code.
I did not see any similar posts/messages and hence am putting this up. If there are threads addressing this topic already, please point me to the the right thread and much appreciated. If not, would appreciate if anyone out there has a solution that works out of the box.
I am OK to use either the native email/calendar app or Touchdown for my outlook sync.
Thanks in advance,
Any help is much appreciated.

DTMF tone solution?

Keypad tones in call are all the same and not the standard DTMF tones, so cannot be used for automatic call services, menu options, extensions, etc.
Have enabled default keypad tones, tried switching the default dialer to Google phone, same issue.
Err not sure what is happening with your device but I tried my voicemail and was able to navigate it just fine.

Thanks! Weird, Privilege insurance didn't work but voicemail and some others are working! Not so straight forward. Perhaps a Voip / Internet calling issue
