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.

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.

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

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've had this phone for about 3 weeks now and it happened a couple of times that the ringtone, Test Tone and Notification tone reset themselves to the systems default sounds, so I have to go to the system settings and select my sounds again, which is really annoying. I'm currently using ZUI Version 2.0.057 ST (just saw that there's a new version I'm going to update to). Does anyone else have problems with this?
I'm also using the system in english and MoreLocal2 to use apps in german, which causes a few of the system apps, and Bejeweled Classic for some reason, to crash. They run fine, when setting everything to english. I suspect that this also affects the sounds, but I could not confirm this yet.
Have tried Samsung, Verizon, and Android text message apps. Can change notification sound in app BUT, no matter what it says in app, the default system notification plays. Changed system notification sound and now get it in message app but also (as expected) everywhere else. This was a slam dunk on my S9. What am I missing?

After posting first message, links to similar popped up. Followed to individual apps in notifications. Two problems. Can't find where I changed default system notification and, having used Zedge in a couple places, I now cannot get to anything but the Zedge app downloads or site. Can't get to any "default" sounds that came with phone.

Got the Zedge thing fixed - I had accidentally set Zedge as default.
BUT, the notification issue persists. It does not seem to matter whether I change notification sound directly in app or thru apps section of settings, I still get only whatever is set in the system notification area !! It SAYS in the app that I have changed the sound BUT it STILL goes to the default sound. Is this a bug in the S10 ??
