Last week I performed a factory reset to my Z1. It's on KK 4.4.4 latest firmware. I noticed that the default ringtone is Xperia, but not the old ringtone, but a new one. It was selected Xperia and there was the old Xperia ringtone to select too. I chose the old one, to be retro/classic. Now, I cannot find the new. There is only one Xperia ringtone and it is the old one.
I was wondering, is there any chance somehow to find the new one? Or somehow to reset the sound settings but without making factory reset?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Edit: I tried Clear Data on Settings app in all apps which informed me that all my accounts would be deleted - but nothing happened. It just exit the Settings app and everything is there when you open it. My phone is not rooted.

I recently picked up a droid w/2.2 and when I goto manage the applications and in the section where you have the option to "clear defaults" evey single app and I've checked, the option is grayed out . Now there is only one I really want to change but for the life of me I can't ( stock messaging for handcent). So any one have any insight as to why they are all this way?
Anyone? I've searched here and the web and I can't find anything
over 222 views and nothing...
Maybe the reason you can't clear defaults is because it hasn't been set as a default for anything.
Did you even install the Handcent SMS App before trying to clear defaults for the stock Mms app?
Yes I did install Handcent, as well other apps and there is no effect to either the stock app or the app that Ive downloaded and installed to repace it.
Ive even gone as far as re-flashing, factory wipe, ect...thinking it was a bad build and still no effect
Hi there, anyone having this problem on stock 2.3.5?
Everytime I restart the phone the default notification sound changes to one of two tracks on my sd card. It's frustrating having to change them back each time. Been thinking of a full reset but don't want the hassle of reinstalling all my apps again only to find its a "feature" of the rom.
Thanks,
Gaz
my sis is having the same problem. unrooted and unhacked. everytime a reboot is done, alarm tones ringtones and notification tones change. a factory reset was done but it did not help. so thats not a fix.

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I got my Nexus 4 (Yeah!), started it up, logged into my google acct, everything started downloading/restoring from google. I checked out the Messaging app and settings, and noticed a "group messages" setting. Sweet!!! But then I got a system update notification. I obviously installed it. After installing it, I used gobackup pro to restore my messaging threads. NOT THE APP, just the threads. Checking the settings again, the "group messages" setting was gone! Just gone! Not sure if it was the system update, or the thread restore, but I am perplexed. I've done 2 factory resets since, but the setting is still gone. Messaging ver. is 4.2-57622 or something like that (don't have the phone with me at the moment.) I'm guessing it had to do with the system update, and that is why it's still not there after the factory resets, but, I really have no idea. I am stock, no root, or unlocked bootloader. Stock, pure stock (the reason I bought a nexus device). Any help or related info would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere, and seem to be the only one with this issue. Any screenshots of anyone else's messaging settings running that app version would help too. Thanks
You'd probably get more help if this was in the Q&A section.

Man, I'm confused. I have no idea what happened. The group part is totally omitted from mine. I've tried to reinstall the app, but can't get very far without root. Thank you for the screenshot. At least I know that the setting isn't just hidden in the Ota update.
Have you tried the reset settings to default option? Or clearing the data for the messaging app?

Yeah, done both. One thing someone just said in another thread, isit may be carrier dependent, and the OTA update hides the setting unless your carrier supports it. Being as I have only played with the phone on wifi just to make sure I am happy with it and don't want to return it,(as it is a christmas present ) I'm starting to wonder if that is my problem. I have no sim installed, so the settings may be hidden until you pop a sim in and the phone recognizes that your carrier supports it.
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.
