Ringback tones. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

More of a Verizon question but seeing as i have and android powered phone figured this be the best place to post it .
Is there a way to create my own Ringback tone that plays in place of the normal ring ring ring people get when calling you.
The media i want in place of it is "The Mental Health Hotline " LOL if you've never herd this before check it out it's funny as hell.Verizon has a few versions of it but they all have music n techno to it and it drowns out the message.Oh one more thing the fullest version i can find is 46 sec long and ends with the "If you have low self esteem hangup all our operators are to busy to listen to you..........:laugh:

Hmm seems not many have any idea me included. I've email verizon numerous times to no avail I guess I'm gonna have to deal with the stupid music put to it.

Not sure if any company would ever do that... but:
There is even better solution!
I've created an app to do all this "ringback tone stuff" the right way.
How it supposed to be from the start!
Now, you can hear your favorite music or ringtone, while you waiting until call pickup.

Free Ringtones and SMS tones.....

UPDATED!
140 Total Tones/SMS for Free download!
I made ringtones from instrumental versions of a bunch of songs. They are melodies I enjoy so hopefully others may come across something they like. I suggest listening to all before deciding its not your taste. All ringtones had the bass decreased and were slightly amplified to sound better on a phone. Please feel free to leave feedback and suggestions for other ringtones. If I can find the instrumental version of your favorite song then I will make a ringtone. Thanks!

if this isn't what you do, let me know
Thanks in advance!
Btw; let me know what you think of the theme im creating, even if you dont like it! tell me!
LOL I will surely try to make you something....as far as your theme goes, im not sure where you have it for me to look at it, but i have nothing against a marijuana theme or the plant itself for that matter ))
Bong hit posted on the website....believe it or not, its actually hard to find free sound effects of this type... lemme know if your looking for something other then what I have posted there.

when you say voice mail greeting do you mean voicmail notification sound? meaning the sound your phone makes to let you know that you have a voice mail? if so you take the tone and copy it on your sd card to this location...media/audio/notifications Hope that helps.

You might need to reboot phone afterwards, but im not 100% sure so just check first before you reboot.
no, the actual greeting when someone calls, and I dont answer, it goes to voice mail, like I am unable to answer the phone right now......, thats the one I was meaning, sorry for the mix up

then what you said originally is correct....unfortunatly I dont know another way to do it besides playing the clip while recording the greeting on the phone. If anyone else knows a more direct way to plug and play a clip as a greeting please chime in as I would like to know this too. THanks
How do I get these?

Answer calls by voice

Hey
Im looking for a application that lets me answer calls by voice by saying a prerecorder word of my choosing. While at first appears like a gimmick, its nice for when you are in the shower, a call comes in and you dont want to hit the screen with wet hands. Say the word and the phone picks up the call and (optionally) turns on the loadspeaker.
What application can I use?
im looking for same app to..
i'm looking for the reverse of it: start calls by saying prerecorded words (as voice dialing doesn't work in my language but i'd use it)

Intresting
I saw some of these apps which you can tell your phone to send a message and the specific person you want to send to. I thought they can also receive the call and call others by voice.
Anyone have information on what Im searching for?
Thanks

dial tone ?

hi, are there any hacks for android that would emulate a dial tone before dialing like an old-skool land-line ?
thanks,
So do you want something to play a dial tone sound when you are in the dialpad app? Or is there something else you want to do with the tone?
That's a cute idea, but no I haven't come across anything that does that. Maybe dig deep into custom dialers?

basically when in the fone app and not in a call or in the middle of dialing a number it should play the dial-tone just like my landline used to.
i think i heard the samsung jitterbug does this.

That reminds me of my first cellphone. I got it from the local Telco, and it did actually play the dialtone if you pressed "talk" before dialing a number. The salesguy tried to say that was some big special deal (even though it was noticeably a different frequency dialtone than an actual landline...). This was a very old Qualcomm phone.
Anyway, I guess it would be possible to play a dialtone (or any other sound) while in the Phone app, but like crazybikeperson, I haven't seen an app that already does it.

Caller ID Faker

I used this site for a while now but just realized they have an app which works just as good as the site. Unlimited free calls but the calls only last two minutes without a paid account. Two minutes is more than enough time to disguise your number on a call or to prank someone. It also lets you change your voice just like on the site. It will also record your calls so you can post your pranks to Facebook.
Someone has too much free tiime on their hands. lol
I used this app before its funny.. love to prank my wife at work.. lol
Nice find bro, just in really like this app.
I wish in this section of the forum they will put 50% apps threats and 50% themes. I am aware that xda is 98% for rooted guys, but I love to read threads about apps (non rooted) I assume that there is a bunch of people like me outthere.
Maybe I'm a nombre and there is a forum exclusively for news about apps but I searched in the market and those app reviews apps are ****

You set it up to call two phone numbers out of your book and both phones ring with the caller id of your choosing and when they pick up they're talking to one another. It can get really funny if you set up with 2 people who dont like each other to begin with! LOL! Heres the web based version.......

[Q] Want "ping" instead of "plop" when dialling

Now while I like the "nature" theme of the SIII as much as the next guy, I've got one problem with it.
Like the title says, I really dislike the "plop" sound that you get when dialling, and would much prefer to have a proper (?) dialling tone, e.g. where each key has a different note.
Try as I might, I can't find any easy way to switch to dial tones like I had on my old SE X10, so unless someone out there's got a solution, I can see I'm going to end up switching off dial noises altogether.

Why hasn't anyone answered this question? It's important to have these tones when calling an automated system.

It does actually send the correct tone down the line, you just hear a different one locally. It's hard to say if there is an easy fix, because there should be a sound assignment to each key in the Phone apk or related, and if Sammy has replaced them all with a single one, it might not be so easily modified to point each button at a seperate sound.
All I can suggest is to get an alternative dialer, perhaps the AOSP one?
When I called my bank, it didn't work. I switched from short tones to long ones and it still didn't work.
If I can find a different dialer I guess I'll try it.

That's very strange because it's practically a critical feature that the phone dialer can send DTMF tones. I use it regularly myself so I can promise you that it does work for some of us, it could very well be a problem with your bank. Try rip the phone apk out of a Cyanogen build or similar if there are no dependencies, or if you get a dialer from the play Store pay careful attention to how reliable it is and its permissions, just in case.
I asked this question weeks ago and no one has come up with any 'fix' for it...
The tones you hear when pressing a key have nothing to do with the tones the phone sends as described.
Try calling another phone and pressing the keys, you should hear a distinction between all single tones. (If not, please have your ears checked )
Did you have a good connection when calling the bank? The tones heavily rely on a halfway acceptable connection.
If you still want to hear distinct tones, try other diallers such as Go Dialler. They might be able to do it since it's onlce purely cosmetical.
It could be a problem on the bank's end because Google Voice works.

I'm going to agree with what's said here - while plopping noise IS annoying, I've not had any problems with automated "Press 1 for ..., press 2 for ..., or wait on the line and an operator will assist you" services - they all seem to work. So, the problem - for me at least - is purely cosmetic.
I'd assumed that the plop had been part of the theme that Sammy had applied to the SIII, in which case an experienced themer should be able to undo this in favour of some a bit less crappy. Although not being a 'droid developer or themer myself (merely a user) I've no idea where to start looking for that kind of info - fingers crossed that it's in a configuration file somewhere in the system.
I have been annoyed by this also. I myself am so use to hearing dial tones, that I'm just missing the sound, and just want them back.
I found this, where a user replaced the waterdrop with DTMF tones........but its for the Galaxy s......Good news is the zip has all the tone .ogg's. Maybe someone can look and it and figure out a way to port?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361687
I'm also missing the well known DTMF tones and pissed about that bubbles.
"Nature inspired" concept and our device desing is very nice but this chage is absolutely stupid.
Nature don't has phones growing in trees an phone calling couldn't sound like a leaking tap.
Hope somebody was able to port this SII mod to our device...
