You must have Superuser/root access on the device to add/remove things to the system partition.

If you already do, you need to mount the folder as R/W instead of R/O. I'm not familiar with ESFileExplorer, so I'm not sure if it has this capability. I use Root Explorer personally. You could also use ADB if you're familliar with it.

I use ringdroid to create a ringtone, and it still resets to unselected after I reboot the phone! Let me try ring extended.

[Nexus S General] cavanman:
My wife is seriously considering returning her ns because of the ringtones issue. She's missed a bunch of calls.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
not saying it is not a valid excuse.

but, i use my SNS on Vibrate mode all the time, and never i have missed a call (yet)

I guess in part that is thanks to my Bluetooth headset that vibrates, even before the ring tones kicks in

it's so cool, everytime there is an incoming call, before any sound, the vibration always starts first on my hear, before the headset (beep) or phone starts to sing (ring tones)

I highly recommend any BT headset with vibrate feature

I'm using Jabra BT8010, it's a rare find now in days (discontinued), it's feature packed:

Vibrate

Stereo/Mono option

Caller ID

Phone Book in the headset

AVRP

Redial

Mute

can Pair with 2 phones

LCD display

Last 8 hours of continue music/voice chat

and 5+ days of standby if not used much

charges up in 3 hours
[Nexus S General] cavanman:
It sits in her bag 99% of the time and if it doesn't ring she won't gear it. No bt headset yet.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Why doesnt she use a stock ringtone until the problem is fixed?:confused:
[Nexus S General] 07accordEX:
The stock one sucks balls probably cause mine does
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
But they still get your attention
[Nexus S General] ykphuah:
The stock one sucks. Most of them are too soft and do not have enough dynamics to be heard when I am at the malls.
[Nexus S General] cavanman:
She's spent about 2 days loading,picking and assigning ringtones for all her friends. I mean this was the feature she loved most about the phone (plus all the Google integration) so the fact that it's all a bunch of crap has her seriously miffed. I really had to upsell her on Android and now she's asking about downgrading.
[Nexus S General] cavanman:
Agreed, but what sucks balls even more is that this basic feature wasn't properly tested before release.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Meh, i'm content with what they come with until the bug is fixed. Thats just me though.

I can see how that would suck if she was assigning specific ring tones. I'm sure the problem will be fixed soon enough, but if she doesn't want to wait around she can always exchange for a MyTouch 4g. Same game just a different player.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Just like the iPhone 4's antenna issue :-p

[Nexus S General] peakaboohaha:
Here I am thinking it's Rings Extended that caused this issue... looks like everyone is having a field day on the random ringtone problem... I did notice the problem when the usb was mounted before hand, then you will lose the ringtone until reboot or reassign another one.

-peaka
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
a few post ago some one mentioned about the BUG being generated when you mount/unmount the USB drive

and that by using the Double mount or multi mount widgets prevents this issue with the Ring tones being crazy

well i've tested the work around for several days, and so far all my ring tones and alerts has remained the same

before i used the multi mount widgets, i did get my ringtones reset everytime i mounted the USB drive the normal way
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I believe it was my suggestion.

Good to know that it actually works.

Personally, since I am rooted, I opted to just push the custom ringtones I use to the /system/media/ringtones folder. Just seems more stable solutions to me.
[Nexus S General] peakaboohaha:
Not everyone will be happy to root their phones just to have permanent ringtones set.... I 'm still resisting to root my new NEXUS S as I have with N1 due to alpha ROMS and more updates coming..... :(

GOOGLE, please fix this problem.... especially this is the flagship of the Android devices...
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
but that raises the question...

What's the point of having pure Google phone, if it's not for the Tweaking? :D
[Nexus S General] peakaboohaha:
True true... but waiting....
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
For the masses, no bloatware, crapware or GUI overlays (touchwiz, motoblur, etc) on top of the OS. Sooner updates to the lates OS version (supposedly).

For we geeks, 100% so we can unlock and root and do as we please.

Alarm tone bug??

Evening all; am new to android and just got nexus s; I like it but I have a Question please.

Can u guys help me please??

Music keeps disappearing...

This happening tio anybody else? I have tio turn my phone off an on then they appear
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Several people on the forums have reported problems having to do with the multimedia partitions of the phone's storage apparently silently unmounting. This may be related both to the issues with custom ringtones disappearing and, in seemingly fewer cases, music disappearing. I'm really just a layman, so that's mostly speculation, but in any case I haven't heard of any solutions, though not all phones seem to suffer from the problem. That leads me to believe it's at least partially a hardware fault. I await a more technically-enlightened poster to corroborate or reject that conclusion. >.>
[Nexus S General] carlost24:
Oh ok thanks for the reply bro,

Should I plan on replacing it?
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Have you made any modifications to your phone's OS (custom ROM, rooting, etc)?

All I can tell you is I'm pure stock 2.3.2 and haven't ever had a problem with disappearing music. I do, however, have the disappearing ringtone issue.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Do we even know if Google can fix this issue?

From what I'm reading, the problem lies in the partitioning of the SD card -- not even sure what that means. Those more versed on the topic, is this a fixable problem?

Getting insanely tired of having to reset my ringtones and alarm tones every time I dismount and/or reboot phone.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Since other phones don't have this issue, I would assume it is fixable. Gingerbread is not that different from Froyo or Eclair.

Not sure what you're talking about with the partitioning of the sdcard. The sdcard is mounted the exact same way any sdcard is: the device block is mounted and named /sdcard...

Patience is tough, but I wouldn't give up hope yet until Google says "we officially can't fix it."
[Nexus S General] carlost24:
I'm completely stock on 2.3.2 an I hacer a custom ringtone from my music so when they call an instead of my custom ringtone I get a generic one that's how I knew my music was missing so I turn off an on my phone then they appear...
[Nexus S General] gaires:
Going tone deaf...

yes...so why didn't i like read this forum before getting the SNS? i can hardly recognise the default android ringtone as it is without it randomly changing on me! i can't tell if it is a call, alarm or notification!

someone help fix this bug soon.

another question: why doesn't the screen light-up when you receive a notification? is this a power saving thing? and if it is dark all the time, when do i get notified of a missed call or alarm?

wish i was back to my trusty simbian n71...
[Nexus S General] ykphuah:
hmm, someone mentioned that it might be because of the sdcard or something.

I went into the storage and tried to look for a "format sd card" but it wasn't present. There's just an "erase all", so I copied everything into my PC, "erase all", then copy it back.

Just tried a reboot and mount/unmount, my ringtone seems to stick, will monitor again.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Can you still play the music, though, or is it just your ringtone that gets broken?
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
This seriously needs to be addressed, particularly with the alarm ringtones. Sometimes, alarms will just be silent. I've overslept a couple of times because of this. And it extends beyond the stock Alarm app. I have a stopwatch app and sometimes it'll "ring" silently because the selected ringtone is unselected.

Again, if you haven't starred it yet, please star the report: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13413 Thanks.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Please let us know how that goes, with alarm ringtones too, if possible.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
The bug needs to be fixed, not doubt, but those of you complaining about alarm tones not working, are you trying to use custom tones or music files?

Did you try to just use a stock one if you're relying on the phone to wake you up? I've been using the one that sounds like an old-fashioned alarm clock with a bell and it's never failed to go off with that sound (every weekday morning).

I'm the one who started the google code bug report on this issue (for phone ringtones), so I'm not dismissing your complaints, just pointing out that for something as critical as the alarm clock, at least on my phone, there's no issue with stock one.

Also, if you're rooted (and if you're not, why aren't you? LOL), easy work around is to convert your custom tones to ogg format (not necessary but might help) and push them to the appropriate /system/media/audio subfolder (alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui, etc). Ever since doing that for my faves, they've never randomly changed.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
you forgot to mention using the MULTIMOUNT USB apps or widgets actually prevents the problem from happening

i've not lost my music for wake up alarm, and customized alerts for each application since i used the Multimount for USB drive
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Yup. I have to wake up to a horrific buzzing sound now.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Well, that's better than oversleeping! ;)

[BUG] Random notification tones

Hi everybody,

this is just happening with my nexus s after 2.3.2 update... (completely stock just rooted) : every time I reboot the phone it changes the notification tones for sms and emails ! Each time I re-assign the correct tone of my choosing but then again when I reboot the phone keeps selecting another tone on its own !

Did anybody notice the same? Any known way to solve this?
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13413

I feel your pain. It's very frustrating. Star the report in the above link.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
The problem has it's own thread already, that includes several tips for fixing it. This thread should merge with that one...

Most of the fixes require root, which I see you are.

The fix that I use is to just take my favorite non-stock ringtones and move a copy of them o the appropriate /system/media/audio subfolder (alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui, etc). I convert mine to ogg format first, but may not be necessary.

Others are reporting that installing a dual mount widget stops this from happening, but that's more related to see the problem after mounting the phone as a usb storage to a computer. Not sure how that would help a post-reboot incarnation of the problem.
[Nexus S General] Mr.Clark:
I've had issues where the playlist will discard almost all the music in it (leaving 5 or 6 tracks) for no apparent reason.

If I re-load the playlist, the music reappears.

Don't know if this helps, or if it's even related. Stock music player, btw.
[Nexus S General] peakaboohaha:
[Q] Did NS ever resolve the random Ringtone and Notification issue?

Has the issue been resolved other than rooting the phone?

:eek:
[Nexus S General] peakaboohaha:
I've posted on Google, no one seem to have an answer other than rooting the phone and place the ringtones in system....

:(
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Yeah, it's a system fault. Unless/until Google patches it, you'll have to either tolerate it or use root-based workarounds. You can try for a new phone if that's a practical option, but that's no guarantee since the issue seems to be very widespread.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Nope.

Please star this report to hopefully get a fix soon: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13413
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Gonna have to wait for Google to push out a fix if you don't want to root.

There's really no reason not to root that I can think of.

Rooting gives you access to some incredibly powerful and useful applications that many of us can't live without.

Google's endorsed rooting and hacking the phone (thanks kevnan for that link), and part of why they made it so easy to do.

It's really simple to do, and easily reversed with a few terminal commands to delete the su binary, busybox and its symlinks and the superuser.apk. I don't believe it's even an issue with warranty service.

Until recently, if you wanted to root, it was really a bad idea not to do it right away because the earlier methods (still) have you doing the fastboot oem unlock command, which will WIPE EVERYTHING on your phone, including all the stuff on your /sdcard (pictures, music, etc), and all your apps' data (like Angry Birds scores) that can't be backed up without root.

We've recently found a method that doesn't require you to wipe the phone, and is just as effective as the earlier methods (really all we're doing is skipping that oem unlock step), so it's not as time critical to root right away as it used to be.
[Nexus S General] NexusRyan:

uhm...well...the thread you linked is actually this one... :p

..so we'll act like they've been already merged all right..? :rolleyes:

This worked for me thanks a lot !

It's a workaround, but it works at least for the moment...

Maybe it would be a good thing to report a couple of this temporary fixes on the OP ?
[Nexus S General] moskuito:
just did it ...

I see they "assigned" the issue at least... should be a first step to redemption :)
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I wasn't scolding you, and apparently the moderator did merge it, because it wasn't this one when I wrote that! LOL

You're welcome. It's an easy enough workaround if you're rooted. I agree, it would be nice if the OP added some of the fixes to the first post, it would save newer members the bother of reading 200 messages to find them.

[Q] Contact's ringtone problem

I was put MP3 file into /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones.And use contact groupU to set contact's ringtone.

But after I reboot and my friend call to me, ringtone was go back to default.

So I goto contact>select my friend contact > [menu] > option, the ringtone name wasn't default ringtone.

Ex.

My default ringtone is River.mp3

My friend's ringtone is If.MP3

But when my friend call to me the ringtone was rang River.mp3 not If.mp3

How I solve this problem

Thank you& sorry for my English.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
There's already a substantial thread about this known bug in the General section: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=900031&highlight=ringtone

There's a couple of suggestions to fix it. Most of them require you to be rooted.

A couple of guys say formatting/wiping their usb storage area fixed it for them.

Others say using a dual mount widget fixed it. You must be rooted to do this.

The fix that I use is to just take my favorite non-stock ringtones and move a copy of them to the appropriate /system/media/audio subfolder (alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui, etc). I convert mine to ogg format first, but may not be necessary. You must be rooted to do this.

Dear forum members,

I successfully changed even the SPL and it works.

In the up to now WP7 unbranding ROMs it was changed the Radio, the XIP, the OS and BLDR etc.

So we can call it debranding, or not?

I can not estimate yet the implications on future developments but fore sure only the vendor ID checking is left.
