[Q] Randomly changing notifications! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had this problem with my Desire Z now I have it with my Evo 3D, Android obviously doesn't like what I have chosen as the notification sounds as it changes them! I can't even save the Sound Set, to quickly change it back, as even though I have one file selected as my ring tone for example, when I go to save the Sound Set, it shows as a different one for my ring tone! Even when the file I want is chosen, it does sometimes change this anyway in the Sound Set!
I am aware that if I have the SD card set as a Disk Drive when it is connected to the computer then I can't use the files on them as notifcation sounds. This does tend to happen following being connected to a computer, even though it has just been connected to charge!
Does any one know why yhey might be changing or why I can't even save the Sound Set, as even when it was showing the correct files and I save it it changes?

[Q] Disable USB Connected notification sound?

Like the title says, Any way to Disable USB Connected notification sound?
Any way to disable SD Card Mounting sounds. I've looked in the normal places and can't find anything. USB Debugging is disabled.
i would also like to know. In addition disable shutdown sound too! I have root if that matters.
edit: just noticed that the shutdown/startup sounds are just the sdcard mounting. is there way to disable this sound?
Guessing if you find out where the file is that it loads and just delete it or replace it with a sound file with no sound it'll work. There's no actual option for it though.
I'm new to android. If there is a root file explorer for this and find the sound folders, I'd like to know. Notifications need a sd card, and I hate sifting through the default tones.

Came across this thread after a Google search on the same topic, haha. Also came across this:

If anybody uses Tasker, what you could do is setup a profile that automatically puts the phone into silent mode when the USB is connected. Not the best solution, but it gets the job done; hearing a gazillion noises when I hooked my phone up to my computer was getting way annoying.
Thank you very much! I need to
A lot of custom roms also has the option in Sound Settings to disable this. Make sure to check there, if you have a custom rom.

[Q] RAZR Changing Tones By Itself!?!?

Hi All,
Had the RAZR about few weeks now. I am rooted, using smart action, but no task manager. Recently I started to notice my tones would change by itself. It started when I first got the RAZR, but I figured, it was just some settings I messed up, but now I am pretty familiar with the phonoe, I am very sure that it is changing tones on it's own. My ringtone was changed yesterday. My alarm was different today. The ringtones are from Zedge. Please help!! Thanks in advance!!
u are not alone im having the same problem too,at first i was thinking that this is bcoz im using ringo pro and zedge but after uninstalling them it's still the same.this is driving me crazy
Mine changed on their own just yesterday. I thought it was weird, but my battery was low so I assumed it was a smart action function that wasn't listed. After I unplugged it, they went back to normal.
Not rooted, and using stock ringtones, smart action samples, and task manager/auto end.

Mine does this occasionally, too. I assumed that it was due to the phone ringing/getting a message while it was charging and not having the selected ringtone available and defaulting to a random standard one, but I could be wrong
You need an exorcist!! :°)
Mine hasn't got any form of demons possession... try to wipe /data and /cache via recovery, this behavior can be caused by an application you've installed from the Market.
It can also be caused by the phone being mounted as a USB drive by a computer (if you have it mounted when charging, for example).
The SD card can't be accessed by both the phone and the computer at the same time. If your ringtones are saved on the SD card and the phone is mounted on the computer, when a notification pops up, the phone can't access the custom ringtone and switches to the default. Once it switches to the default, it's not smart enough to revert back to the custom tone when the phone is unplugged.

Wow! Kudos on getting that figured out! Never would have thought odd that, but that is 100% right!

Phew thought I was the only one. Very strange waking up out of a deep sleep and my thinking thats not my alarm??? It defaulted to the very first MP3 file on the external SD card which would matches beartard explanation

No problem. This is something that affects all Android phones in some way or another. It's not just a RAZR thing.
Mine did his tonight. On stock moto charger/cable on stock phone, stock ringtones. Ring changed to a very basic ringtone. Went back to normal after unplugged. On new .748 update.
Hello together,
i have the European version of the Razr and the very same problem.
Always after using the Razr as USB drive (mounting storage) the ringtone/notification tone/alarm... change to a completly random tone from anywhere... its also using mp3s from games etc. thats very very bad!
It is definitly not switching back to the default tones on the internal storage but to any tone avalable anywhere....
has someone allready an idea how to solve that? I have read in another forum that a system reset will help but I´ve not tried that yet, because i am not shure f that helps.

[Q] My phone keeps resetting to default ringtone

I haven't had this issue before, but now my ringtone keeps resetting to the default Sense ringtone. If I change it, it will stay until I reboot or a certain amount of time passes and then it goes back. What's strange is that my sound I'm choosing for alarm, which is different than the default, does stick.
Any ideas?

Is your preferred ringtone on your external SD card? Mounting it to USB can make it temporarily unavailable and it will revert to default even after you unmount.
If so, try placing it on the internal sd folder

I actually just discovered what's causing this. I use a program called Sound Profile that has a bug that is locking the ringtone. Thus, anytime I opened the program or used one of its widgets, it would revert to the ringtone that was selected when the app was installed. I was able to change it by uninstalling the app. I've emailed the developer to let them know about this.
Thanks for the response, however. This was driving me nuts.

Screen turns off/email notification disappears

Morning,
These two annoying glitches seem to be on any Rom I use. It's happened since the day I ever downloaded Roms but never got around to asking people
Issue 1) When I'm dialing a number the screen turns off/times out halfway through. When I switch it on, and go to press the next number it's as if it sees me coming and switches off just as I get near to the number! I've tried the usual settings to change this but to no avail. No doubt there's a simple solution.
Issue 2) Sometimes I think I get no emails or messages. Then when I go in to settings/notifications I see that the ringtone I chose has been unchecked meaning the phone thinks there's no notification to play. This happens with email (exchange) and messages. It seems random but happens about every 3rd day! II then have to manually select the ringtones again.
Any help on these 2 things would be great!
the second issue seems like you have your chosen ringtone at your SD card and the device can't read it sometimes.
the first thing i suggest is to transfer this ringtone to your internal memory under the "notifications" folder so it'll be available for you to choose from.
secondly, maybe you should consider replace your SD or gently clean it

Am sure that was the reason. Have moved them. Thanks!

Playlist Gone (GT-S7582)(CM11)

Every time I connect my phone to my computer via USB even after I've disconnected my phone, the following 2 things happen (that I can tell): My ringtone goes back to "Default" (i'm using a custom one which is saved on the SD memory) and my music playlist (the only one i have) goes empty. No music file is missing, they're just removed from the playlist, and they, too, are on my SD memory.
What can i do to fix or circumvent the issue?
The problem is not that it happens while the phone is hooked on the computer, but that it persists AFTER i disconnect it. In other words, after disconnecting the phone, i have to manually rebuild my playlists and change the ringtone again. Is there a way for me to transfer data between PC and phone without having to "reconfigure" the phone after the process? Or better yet a way to use the USB normally without the "reconfiguring" having to take place?
Hope you give me a rply masters
Thank you
