I love Steve's AOKP PUB Rom but I seem to have one really irritating issue upon using it. I set my ringtone and notification sounds to the ones i always use. Pyxis for Ringtone, and Don't Panic for notifications. Then i noticed that i was not hearing the sounds during incoming phone calls and texts. So i go into the sound setting to see whats up and they both have unrecognized sounds listed. When i try to re-establish the original setting all the choices are gone except for 2 or 3 instead of the usual several dozen. If i use Root Explorer to go into the media folder all the ogg files are still present. Sometimes they come back upon a reboot. Sometimes they dont. Anyone else seen this or know whats happening? Thanks.

Same here. I'm back of AOKPBRAVO at the moment because of the sound issues. One thing that helped me a bit was to disable vibrate with ring and have ring only but it still would lose the ringtone and on calls the screen would light up and i had missed calls because the ringtone wouldn't be recognized.
I have noticed this same issue and believe I have found a work around for the problem. First take off the Vibrate on incoming calls. Then in the root of your sdcard there is a ringtones folder. Make sure that the ringtone is in that folder. With some of these new roms, they will only play ringtones that are in that folder plus the default that the developer chooses. Go into contacts and set the ringtone for the contact. First I would do it as a test ringtone on a number you can call from. If you have the same ringtone for multiple people then you have to make a new copy of that file. It will only play it for the last contact you assign it too. That is how I cleared my troubles with it. Hope this works out for you.

Actually I have two different issues that are somewhat related...First, i think he's talking about the text message ringer. For example...if i set a ringtone to my text messages(songs that is) and i recieve a text message, there is now way to shut the ringer off...it just keeps playing and playing and vibrating and vibrating....the only thing that will make it stop is a power down or soft reset.....whats even weirder is if i recieve a text message while the first message is ringing it plays the ringtone a second time in the background...so not only can i not stop the first one but there a second one that i cant stop either...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!....now for the second issue....i downloaded mring for my phone and it allows me to stop the problematic ringer from before by pressin any button on my phone (GREAT!!!!!!!!) no, not great...when i set my text messages to ring and vibrate it rings, but no vibration occurs...and if i have it on vibrate only...it doesnt vibrate either....at first i thought it was problem with my phone, but the vibration on telephone calls works fine...it's only text messages...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!!! if anyone can fix the problem im having with mring that would be great cuz i want to continue using that program seeing as how i purchased the product and now that im having that problem its basically useless...

hi i am fairly new too this stuff and what i think is happening for the first issue may not be happening.....but only a professional can correct tht....when a txt message ringtone plays it basically plays the whole song or ring..before it stops....it almost as if when u recieve a text message windows media player launches in the background and just plays till the end....but it dose not do that for phone calls because any musical content or data service is stopped the second you recieve a phone call...as for the vibration issue i have no idea what too tell you oon that...but what u can try is use small sound files as ringers tht way they wont overlap each othereaside from tht i think there is a registery key tht you can change to achive a limited time ring when a text message is recieved....
as for the reg key you will have to search the forms for tht i believe....
What i do is crop my songs / sounds for text messages. I crop them to about 2 seconds or a little bit more and I dont worry about ongoing sounds playing.
Also you can change the settings on your phone to vibrate and ring, ring, vibrate and so one. See if any of those settings are interfering with your notifications.
Ive tried all of your suggestions in the past..the whole reason im using songs as ringtones is so that im aware of when im recieveing a text...if i wanted a 2 second ringer id use a stock one...guess the problem is unfixable...thanks for th input tho
For some reason this only applies to K9 mail
When I get an email, there is no sound notification. At first I thought it was a bug with the sound file I selected (so I got rings extended) and that didn't help. Keep sending/receiving emails and still no sound. I checked my sound settings, there are bars on everything and the phone is not on vibrate/mute
I also got E-Mail notifier thinking a different program could call the sound but it doesn't play it either! What is going on? Stock sound files won't play... is there a problem with my rom? (axura 2.2)
When I click on the sound file it previews properly. Notifications work properly with sms. Not sure what is going on, any ideas?
I've just got my new Xperia Go set up, updated to stock ICS and rooted (using some of the helpful threads on this forum!) so I could install Google Apps as my phone originally came with rubbish Chinese apps/store/etc, but now whenever I select custom ringtones for various contacts I have a strange problem: I can select the ringtones fine (I'm choosing various MP3s as the basic ringtones are mostly terrible and I like to know who's calling from the song), but then whenever someone (say, caller B) calls me the phone plays the ringtone from the previous caller (caller A) instead of the one for caller B. And then the next caller after that (caller C) will get the ringtone from caller B, then caller D will get caller C's tone and so on, which is obviously pretty useless for identifying who the caller is, unless the same person calls me twice in a row!
Any ideas why and how I can fix it? My only guess is that maybe the MP3s are too big so the phone can't load them in time? Though I never had this problem on my old Nokia phone, and they're only around 5mb each. I also can't find anyone else having the same problem, and if this was the case I would guess it would be fairly common. But then this would also be true if it's a general bug. Otherwise I guess it's some problem identifying the caller? But then why would the correct ringtone for the previous caller always be played for the next caller? I also tried moving the ringtones from the Ringtones folder on the internal card to media\audio\ringtones on the SD card, but this didn't make any difference.
Unfortunately I can't remember if the problem occurred when the phone was running GB before I updated to ICS, as I updated it fairly quickly after I got it so hadn't bothered customizing it yet.
Thanks!
Hey all
I made a ringtone for one of my contacts which i am using for both calls and messages.
And it seems to work everywhere except for WhatsApp.
In whatsapp the ringtone starts and then gets started again. Basically interupting itself.
Do you know what I mean? It doesn't play through once but starts and then restarts before finishing. I tried shortening it and lengthening it. No effect.
Does anybody know if there is some way to fix this? Do i need to set a certain flag/tag?
Thank you guys!
I have certain ringtones set-up for certain callers and, of course, a generic ringtone as well.
Well, I've had this problem happen SEVERAL times with both the new firmware and the old firmware. A person with a specific ringtone will only get that specific ringtone occasionally. It's really a crapshoot as to whether it will actually play or not.
For example, yesterday I had a friend call and I heard her specific ringtone. We lost signal in the middle of our conversation and 5 minutes later she called me back and I got the generic ring. Called me back from the same phone.
This phone is buggy buggy buggy.
Hope this helps
First off..... put your specific ring tones (Music or whatnot) on the internal storage of the phone. You may run into problems if you don't. Then, go to sounds and ADD the ringtones there. After that is done..... you shouldn't have anymore issues. Hope it helps
