Hi
I've been experiencing a weird problem with 681 firmware.
When I turn on my phone from charging I noticed my ringtone is reverting back to default (I'm only assuming it's the default tone because it's sony's notification and ringtone) and it's displaying the ringtone's I originally set as 'Unknown Ringtone'
I'm using ES File Explorer to set the notification and ringtone because Sony's sound picker doesn't read from the SD Card.
I'm on LB and non-rooted.

I can pick music out of my sd card flawlessly in 4.4.2
Are you using any sony's sound picker or are you using another app to do that for you?
Edit: I think I got it. It seems that clearing the app data for ES file explorer does the trick. I've retrieved my apps via backup since upgrading to KK so I think I'll need to clear the data of every app to make sure it functions properly in KK
I also had this same issue.
Clearing the ES File Explorer data under apps changed nothing, so I had to uninstall ES File Explorer and then restart the phone before I was able to change ring tones once again.
Thanks for the pointer to get it working again.
Usb mtp / msc???
Are you charging using the regular charger or a usb cable connected to a computer?
the USB connection is most probably MSC, i.e. as a mass storage device. which is why the ringtones are reverting to the default ones since when usb is connected, the sd card no longer be read by the phone.
change usb mode to MTP, and see the difference! ooh, and check if smart connect has any events set for the charger connect / disconnect events as well...

hey guys, so my brothers got a droid 3, and since he lives in wyoming and i'm in NJ, i can't diagnose it in person...
but he keeps having his background wallpapers changing by themselves all the time. he's using stock backgrounds, not SD card images, and they always just randomly change. he said it'll change between two gray type ones over and over. pretty anoying.
he also says his ringtones keep changing by themselves and constantly changes his ringer, notification sounds, and now his email notification makes a sound even though he had that off.
anyone have any idea whats wrong? it's stock phone, no root or anything...thanks!!
It's probably an app.
Ive had the ring tone issue before but never the wallpaper one. To fix the ringtone issue i just factory reset and reinstalled my apps via titanium backup. Hasnt reoccured since.
The ringtones: Thats because everytime you mount your usb cable and access the sdcard the link to the ringtones and notification tones gets lost. Putting these as a root user in system/media prevents them from getting lost.
try it.
what app would possibly change wallpapers? lol

I am having a problem with transferring photos from my pc to my phone.
No matter what file I try to transfer them to. They won't be recognized. Like they don't even exist.
I try to transfer them again to the same file to see if maybe it did not work but it says they are there. But when I go to check my gallery, there is no sign of them.
What is going on? Do I have a virus? Can anyone help?
Thanks.

i hate the built-in gallery try to download quickpic (alot of option + fast )
or try to clear cache
OK so that helped with updating my contact pictures list, but I originally wanted to update my wallpaper. I use multi picture live wallpaper. And like I said any new picture I put onto my phone is just not recognized.
I'm just directly put my photos under a folder created by myself in the internal storage.

I have actually done that, but alas did not make a difference. If it makes any difference. I notice that whenever I either plug in my phone into my pc and/or move photos around the "Media Scanner Running" icon notifies me on and off for about 5 minutes even after I have finished. And it as well tends to randomly close any app and the app drawer when I open it.
OK just replying to myself but haha I am becoming more and more frustrated with this. It is also affecting my music as well. I transfer the music files from my pc to my phone and they are only in "My Files" app section. Not found in any of my music players.
Now I have recently downloaded a few apps for customization. Such as ADW Launcher EX, Widget locker, and a few others.
Would any of those somehow change things in my phone. I did pay for them.
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia hidden file in the directory where you placed your picture. Additionally unless you use a media scanning app to force media scan, you will need to restart your phone.

I think I am going to assume there is something wrong with my media scanner on my phone. It is always running and constantly popping up saying it is running, then force closing anything I have open.
Been missing calls lately, never heard them. Went to settings/sounds¬ifications and under phone ringtone is says "unknown ringtone". When I select it, instead of showing me the stock ringtones, it asks if I want to use ES Explorer or Amazon something or other. I selected ES Explorer and it sent me to the directory. I looked in media//audio/notifications and the only thing there is facebook_ringtone_pop.m4a. I am not rooted and running stock Lollipop 5.1.
So where are my ringtones? If they are gone, how did that happen?
On Lollipop, I created a folder and shoved all of my ringtones and text tones into it; which is what I sourced from when changing notification sounds. Since I upgraded to marshmallow, it appears defaults and whatnot changed. I didn't notice it at first since as far as my ringtone goes, the system was picking it up just fine and Textra is using one of my sounds--not the correct one, but I chalked that up to some stuff not being saved by smart switch when I backed up before the update--but other apps, like Voxer, are using default sounds when I had them all set up previously as not using default sounds.
"No big deal" I thought, since I could just go into various settings and direct them. However, the folder I created isn't showing up for anything other than for the ringtone; even trying to choose a system wide text/email tone from the settings app isn't picking it up the folder when there was no issue in the past. Am I missing something?
I'm using XtreStoLite if this happens to be a custom rom issue rather than settings being moved around in Marshmallow in general.
I have three folders: Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms. I can confirm that all of my apps can see and use those folders and I've got all of my apps using my customized ringtones.
I'm using the De-odexed stock ROM on mine.

Wierd. I guess it might be an issue with my backup being messed up. Thanks for letting me know that this isn't a 6.0 issue.
Ok, so I don't know what caused the issue, but updating to the latest version of the ROM and factory wiping cleared up the issue. However, I was adjusting the notification tones for my app, and instead of hitting my file manager, I hit "media storage" on accident. And now, not only am I prevented from having the option pop up in the app, I lack the option to choose in any app and all previously adjusted apps have had their notification sounds set to the system default.
Is there any way to reset this without wiping my phone and starting over again? I can't seem to find anything in system settings or app settings.
editisregard, I found the solution.
I haven't changed the ringtone for my calls or notifications since the T-Mobile update to Android 10. Earlier this week I went to change my default notification & kept getting the error "wrong file type, please choose again". It did this for every mp3 sound I selected & they all worked prior so I know there isn't anything wrong with the file. I then tried the same with the default ringtone & got the same error. I can play the mp3 with no issues through an mp3 player app. The only sound format that appears to be working for notifications & ringtones is if I use a wave file. Has anyone else seen this occurring on their phone?
You can try clearing the cache of the phone. There are apps that can do that. Aside from that.... backup your data, calls, and everything in Samsung Cloud. And reset phone. Then see if it still does it. If after a reset it still does it I would reflash it with the newest stock ROM.

I had this exact same issue. I had to strip all of the tags from the mp3 files and put them in the 'notifications' or 'ringtones' folders. Once I did that, they appeared in the built-in media picker and also worked when using esExplorer to set the ringtone or notification.
