Cant get customs ring or sms tones - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

OK.. I googled and searched here but seen nothing.. Tried the method for dropping in notification folder but nothing shows up.. Really need a much longer and louder sms tone.. IS it only specific file type. Tried .ogg /m4a and mp3.. Wont show up. I dont wanna use any app and get the stupid stuff it adds.

I've always kust used Ringsroid man, will convert any sound files on your phone into ringtones, notifications, or alarms...no bogus crap added.

Battery full notification

Anyone know how to turn the battery full notification off or change the tone to something other than my default notification? This is getting really old now, maybe I missed something in my settings. I'm on 2.2 btw

would also love to know this.....got sick of getting woken up at night when battery was full. Ended up using tasker to silence it, but would be nice. I read somewhere the reason it happens is because in froyo they changed the tone from being a "system sound" to being a "notification sound"
Hopefully in the final build they will have an option to change it. I like knowing my battery is full, but not THAT much! Just seems weird...

Could you share your Tasker setup, please?

Go to system/media/audio/ui and remove or rename the TW_battery_caution.ogg file.

i've renamed the ogg file, but since i put my phone to vibrate only overnight, how can i make the vibrate notification stop when the battery is full. believe it or not, the vibration can wake me up overnight (i'm a light sleeper).
Hmm, I must be lucky with this "feature"(annoyance). I get the pop-up that the battery is full but I have yet to hear it make a sound. I have an app called SmartBar that lets me change my audio levels without going through the menus all the time, so maybe thats silencing the full charge notification.

[Q] Send small audio clip via mms??

Is there a way to send a small mp3 clip (200k) via mms? Im using handcent and I have it set to 1M but everytime I try to attach the clip I get an error message "sorry you cannot add this audio to your message" Im on ATT running kangorama
They usually have to be very small clips.
Have you tried using the default messaging client to see what it does?

Yes, Ive tried both handcent and the stock messaging client. The clips can be smaller than 200k and it still wont sent
I too cannot figure out how to attach an audio file to a text message. I have tried the stock messaging app and handcent. I have tried to attach .mp3, .3gp, .ogg, and .wav files. All below 200kb. I have also tried upping the max size. Nothing works. pretty sad that there are options on these audio apps to send but it doesn't work. The crappiest of crap phones can do this but a $600 ' smart' phone chokes. There dont seem to be any answers for this debacle either. Not that I can find anyways. Is there ANYONE that has an answer besides 'email it' or ' go back to your old dumb phone'?
Go SMS has an option to add Audio to a text message, worth a punt, plus its nicer than Handcent anyway (IMO)
Im wondering if out has to be in a certain folder. Turns out I can attach mp3s with rings extended but voice recordings don't show with rings for whatever reason. And tapeatalk doesn't have an option for changing output folder. ill check the stock voice recorder.
EDIT: nope. no option in the stock recorder either. Wtf..

I just got tapemachine from the market and rings extended shows what is recorded with that. Just says too big and can't attach. Prolly cuz it's a wav. Looks promising.

Recforge from the market allows mp3 voice recording for I think 30 seconds or 1 minute in the free version. It also allows you to choose the output location. Perfection. Good looking app too. Icons from buuf. Only thing is rings doesnt see the new recordings until the sdcard is scanned again so I had to get sdrescan, also from the market. I used to use rescan media/root but it pwnd my gallery so I didn't want to get it again. sure hope sdrescan doesn't fail in the same way. Final verdict: I've figured it out. Hope this helps anyone else with this annoying problem.

Custom Ringtones for Contacts

Am I missing something? Can I not add a custom right tone to a contact? I just switched over from my Droid X today and I came across this issue.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I believe the way to do it is if you open the Contacts app then click on the contact and when it shows their info, hit the menu key then select options and it should then give you the option to set a custom ringtone for that contact.
I've tried that but the only choices that are available are the stock ringtones that came with the phone I'd like to use an actual song from my music library as that contacts ringtone.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I noticed the same thing! I like to have different songs for different people, i don't want to be limited to the lame generic ringtones, i want Beck and Death Weather and QoTSA!
I just upgraded from a Droid X today and I able able to add custom ringtones to contacts then now on DB it doesn't seem to give you an option to do that I'm surprised
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
Might try adding the music files to a folder named "Ringtones" on the sd card. It worked for my portal 2 ringtones.

Files placed into: /Internal phone storage/media/audio/ringtones are usable as ringtones. If the folders already exist, just move your files there. If the folders aren't already there, you can use the pre-installed Files application to create them. From with the app, click Menu then New Folder.
Then do this keeping in mind that it needs to be done from the View Contact screen, not the Edit Contact screen:

I figured it out: I opened the music app then long pressed the song I wanted as a ring tone. The go to the contact select options and when the list of ring tones opens looks for the song title and hi-light the song done. Thanks to all of you for helping!!!!

I had some songs and alert tones that I put on the external SD card, and the system found them and added them to my list of available ring tones without me having to do anything.
have had no issues with custom ring tones and alerts.
Thanks. That also worked for the notification ringtone.

I guess this is just another method that works again I'd like to thank everyone for there input

Check out "Rings Extended" in the app market. Once installed it operates in the background. Assign a ringtone as normal, but when you do you get the option to use Rings Extended. It will let you choose any music on your phone.

Wallpapers and notification sounds keep changing

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

Dialer keypad tones

I have been searching everywhere for a flashable zip preferably that would change those foolish water droplet sounds when you dial a phone number to the regular (DTMF)?? Tones I believe its called. My setup is in my Sig.. Anybody that knows how I can do this is elite, amazing and awesome!!! Lol.
Subscribed, old school.
And get off my lawn!
Me too, without luck. I finally gave up and installed Swipe Dialer, which has the DTMF tones. But its functionality is a bit different than the stock dialer, so I hope some sharp developer can help out here. My guess is you have to decompile and edit the secphone.apk (but that's just a guess)

Swipe Dialer looks useful, but it doesn't seem to have call-blocking, and shows previously blocked calls in the logs tab.
I'll give it a try for a few days, though. Thanks.

Close, it's actually the SecContacts.apk... I found this but I don't think it will work..

I've been playing around with dialers in the Play Store, and my new favorite is exDialer by modoohut. It doesn't have the blacklist option, but you can copy the undesired number to the clipboard thru the share function and then simply paste it into your call settings as a rejected number. Everything else about the app, however, is fantastic, including, of course, the DTMF tones!
