Android : How To Add A New Ringtone
May 22, 2010Seems like it's a very common question and hopefully there's an easy answer.
how do I add then select new ringtones?
The manual is not helpful and my forum searches have failed.

I'd like to set a new default ringtone without using the ringtone picker. In other words, there is a certain ringtone that is already installed on my system, and I want to programmatically set it to be my default ringtone without any human interaction. The reason I want this is because every time I reboot my N-1, my previous default ringtone setting gets forgotten, and I am given another ringtone that I don't like. I want to set up an app that I can run manually (or better yet, to cause to automatically run upon startup) which will reset my default ringtone to the one that I like without my having to manually do this via the Settings.
The only examples I have found so far for doing this involve using the ringtone picker, but as far as I can tell, this requires human interaction, which I want to avoid.
I purchased my moment about 2 weeks ago and have been having fun figuring it out however there are some areas where I am having problems.
1. When you want to attach a document it selects the picture folder/area, how do you browse instead of being forced into that area.
2. I downloaded ringtone app and have found the app quite useful, the problem I am having is, the ringtones I have created don't show up in all the ringtone areas of my phone, what needs to be done to correct this.
3. The basic user guide that comes with the phone says there is an app I can download called samsung new pc studio. When I call sprint or samsung they say this app is not available or can't be used by a casd(the u.s. standard, I think casd is right), they say this software is only for the other standard, I did find this app on the web. Is what sprint and samsung saying true if not can I use the ones I found on the web.
4. If you could choose only ten apps to have(free)which ones would you choose?
I used the htc ringtone trimmed for one of the song in my music library on my phone and I'm sorry if there is already a thread for this but how are you able to delete these ringtones when you no longer want them? The program its self works fine for making ringtones but I cannot find anyway to delete them. I even looked in Astro. If someone doesnt mind could they please lend some advice on this. I've searched in the forums and I havnt found a solution to it.

When she stored them they were given default names. I was able to make the appropriate ringtone associations, except for voicemail. I have 2 questions:
1. How do you set a ringtone for voicemail? When I run the standard voicemail app (Verizon) I cannot being up a menu.
2. How do I change the name of a ringtone file?

But when I am in Settings for Notification Ringtones, I do not see the mp3 I added but only in Calling Ringtones. Why is this? I want to use the same ringtone for notifications too!.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone knows how to set a ringtone from the sdcard correctly cause obviously I'm doing it wrong. For some reason, I'll set the ringtone(it's actually picked randomly) as the default ringtone using the RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri() method. This works, and it show's that ringtone as the default ringtone in the settings menu (as well as plays the correct tone), but when I get called it plays a system ring instead of that default ringtone I set. Has anyone else ran into this problem?? I've been looking everywhere online with no luck. I actually have a feeling it has something with the formatting of the Uri but I'm not sure on how else to format it.
My current format: Uri ringtoneUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(directory +"/" + ringtones.get (whatTone)));
directory = "/sdcard/media/ringtones" --- Just an example, this is actually user generated ringtones.get(whatTone) = "BlindedInChains.mp3" --- Also just an example
End result of this format: "file:///sdcard/media/ringtones/BlindedInChains.mp3"
Is this wrong?
please can some one help me. i'm trying to get the name of the current ring tone, this is the code i have so far but cant get it to work.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI like to use custom sounds/ringtones for my incoming text messages. The one I currently have is about twenty seconds long. Anyway, I was at work the other day doing a presentation and I thought I had my phone on vibrate. I did not and received a text message and the ringtone went off. I pushed the volume button down to silence it but it would not. If the phone is in lock mode, is it not possible to silence a message?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add ringtones to the media/ringtones folder from my application. If the phone is connected via USB to a computer or mounted on my Mac, the ringtones do not show up in the SD Card, nor in the Ringtone settings.
But if I run the application with the USB unplugged, the ringtones appear ok. This is not a problem with Ringdroid which does the same thing.
I have certain sound files and will like to develop an app which allows to set those sound files as ringtones.
Can someone let me know the way of implementing it? What are the API's that I need to use for this purpose?
