Ringtone changes!

[Guest Simon Baker]

I have a folder called music on the SD card and a track on there is the ringtone, everytime I switch the phone off it reverts back to a built in one. Anyone else have this issue?

YES! It drove me mad for ages.

I eventually got around it by downloading RingDroid from the Market and then opening up the MP3 in there and then having it save it as a ring tone (it renames the files to "name Ringtone")

Ever since this, the MP3 files has remained as my ringtone.

The other solution is that you copy your ringtone to the /system/media/ringtone directory. This directory is "read only" so:

- you can use Root Explorer which has inbuilt capability to temporarily remount the filesystem to Read+Write and you can copy the mp3 file

- using adb remount from console

when finished reboot is needed.
