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.

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've searched the threads, haven't found an answer yet. How do i apply a downloaded ringtone to set as my notification tone?
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy fiance upgraded from LG Voyager to Droid 2. She wanted her old ringtones from the Verizon Media store so she downloaded them. 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?
Can anyone recommend a good app that will open up music as a ringtone? On my old Droid, I had Handcent and that opened it up. However, on my X, I actually kind of like the stock messaging app, so can anyone recommend an app that will do this?

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.
For some reason my Eris refuses to allow me to select a default ringtone. I can select a ringtone from the list and listen to it, but when a call comes in, I get 2 Step, the first ringtone in the list. I've rebooted and removed the battery, but neither of these fixed the problem. I called Verizon tech support and was told to enter Settings from Apps, which I did and it actually worked...once. Now, it's failing solid.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed the Zedge app and downloaded a ringtone and notification tone I want to use. I set them as the tones in my options, but it's like it doesn't save or something. The tones just keep going back to the ones I had them set to originally that were already on the phone.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Just answer the question and let the thread die.

View 1 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a default ringtone for my contacts. That's all well and good and it will play the correct ringtone.
Now, the problem is, I go into my contacts and set custom ringtones for different people so I know it's them calling without even having to look. Probably about 10 or so people. The rest of the contacts, plus numbers not in my phonebook get the default.
All was well and good until last week. Now the default plays for everyone, no matter what. And when I went into my contacts and their contact page, it shows their ringtone as being the custom one I set but it's not playing. All the songs are still on my phone.
Only thing I can think of is I cleared data in ChompSMS, updated and downloaded a few apps. I've turned the phone on/off and took battery out but nothing.

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.
