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.
Trying to help a friend with his Droid. He downloaded a ringtone from the Verizon site and he is trying to set it up as his "RINGTONE". Can someone please walk me through this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have to set multiple alarms (upto 5) that will trigger everyday, in my application. I tried to create an array of AlarmManager instances but it didn't worked. Here is the code fragment I used for this.
[HIGH]AlarmManager[] alarmManager = new AlarmManager[totalAlarmsInDay];
for(int i = 0; i < totalAlarmsInDay; i++) {
alarmManager[i] = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, i, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
alarmManager[i].setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC, calendar.getTimeInMillis() + i * 15*60*1000, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY, pendingIntent);
}[/HIGH]

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy goal is to set the users notification sound from a file that is stored onto the SD card from with in the application. I am using this code:
CODE:.........
When I run this on the device I keep getting the error:
CODE:.................
I have seen others using this technique and I can't find any documentation on which values actually need to be passed in to successfully add the file into the Android system so that it can be set as a notification.
I want to change the ringtone for a contact or group of contacts but when I do the brief clip of the new ringtone does not play. I added an mp3 to the sd card, I created a folder called media/audio/ringtones and put my mp3 there. I can select it when I go to change ringtones but it does not play briefly and when someone rings it does not play at all, in fact none of the default ringtones play briefly either, nothing plays.

View 10 Replies View RelatedRecently I've been getting a lot of calls from 'UNKNOWN' at stupid O'clock in the morning. Is there a way of doing any of the following...
a) set the phone so that calls from UNKNOWN get sent directly to voicemail.
b) set the phone so that calls from numbers *NOT* in my contact list get sent directly to voicemail.
c) set the ringtone for 'UNKNOWN'.
d) set the ringtone for numbers NOT in my contacts.
If someone is unwilling to reveal their phone number then they don't deserve my attention, especially at 8.30am in the morning and extra especially on a Saturday.
Droid. I have a tiny WAV file I'd like to use as a ringtone, how do I get the Droid to recognize it as a ringtone so I can select it from the ringtone menu? I have a feeling it has to have a certain dot-extension to make the droid recognize it as a ringtone....
View 6 Replies View RelatedBack when I got my phone, I transfered an MP3 from the computer to the SD card and selected it as ringtone. it is still there and still works.....but now, after the OTA update, when I go into settings/phone ringtone this sound is not on the list. How do I get it back?
Also, under notifications, in the list of sounds the ones on my SD card are not there. I have a sound stored on the card that I would like to set as the notification. I mounted the card to my computer to verify that these files are indeed on the SD card. The phone just isn't seeing them in the list of available sounds...but, they do play if I go into MP3 or Music app.
I have the zedge app and downloaded ringers and message tones, but when I set them as my defaults, I still get the hero ringer/notification sound instead. How can I stop my phone from doing that so the zedge ringer and notification sounds I choose stay?

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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for one where I can set many different alarms (including multiple alarms per day). I would also like quite a bit of customization (things like tone length, volume, snooze, etc). I don't mind paying, but I want to make sure I have the best before I fork over for it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn case this is useful for someone: When you are programming several AlarmManagers, you have to differ them using a setData parameter:
intent.setData((Uri.parse("custom://"+SystemClock.elapsedRealtime ()))); long firstAlarmMillis = getFirstTimeAlarm(mYear, mMonth, mDay, mHour, mMinute); intent.putExtra("timeInMillis", firstAlarmMillis); PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast (getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0); //Log.d("tiven", "despues de la alarma"+firstAlarmMillis); AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService (ALARM_SERVICE); am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, firstAlarmMillis, sender);
You have to set a parameter to differ intents, or else you won't be able to hable them in a broadcast receiver.
I think I may have found an issue within the My understanding is that to properly hold a device awake after an alarm is triggered you have to aquire a WakeLock in the onReceive() event, call a Service, then perform the work in the Service, releasing the lock within the Service when complete. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/ browse_ thread /threa . http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@ googlegroups.com/msg66. This pattern can also be found in the CommonWare Advanced Android Development book. I tried this, but I found that the AlarmManager, when calling the BroadcastReceiver, runs on a separate PID than the IntentService when started from the BroadcastReceiver's onReceive() event. This makes the static variable on the lock manager. I tried this, and my logs indicate that the PID is definately not the same, and my understanding is that the DalikVM instances act like a standard JVM, whereby objects and variables are no shared between JVMs. Furthermore, since the WakeLock is not serializable, there is really no way to pass the reference to the lock via an "extra" in the Intent.Has anyone else seen this pattern work or fail? I have an example project (with compiled APK) if you'd like to test it yourself, where shall I post this? I have tested this on the emulator on versions 1.6 and 2.0.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am setting multiple alarms like this, with different values of id. Multiple calls to AlarmManager.setRepeating deliver the same Intent/PendingIntent extra values, but I supplied different ones.
AlarmManager alarms = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(
Context.ALARM_SERVICE); Intent i = new Intent(MyReceiver.ACTION_ALARM);
// "com.example.ALARM" i.putExtra(MyReceiver.EXTRA_ID, id);
// "com.example.ID", 2 PendingIntent p = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, i, 0);
alarms.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, nextMillis, 300000, p); // 5 mins
And receiving them like this:
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION_ALARM)) {
// It's time to sound/show an alarm
final long id = intent.getLongExtra(EXTRA_ID, -1);
The alarm is delivered to my receiver at the right times, but often with EXTRA_ID set to the wrong value: it's a value that I have used at some point, just not the one that I wanted delivered at that particular time.
I want to set two alarms through my application. I have two controls to set them. But when I set one alarm and then another, then the last alarm set works only and previous get cancelled. What is the way to keep their pending intents separate? How can I do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCode below creates an Alarm, so far everything is working fine. But i am a bit lost in the Documentaion how to cancel an Alarm. I need to cancel only special Alarm(s) depending on Intent#putExtra(IntentConstants.SELECTED_PRIMARY_KEY,_selectedID);
How can i archive this ?
