I have the same issue, exactly and no matter which of the above steps I try, I cannot change the ringtone on my brand new Chime. It is just so amazing. I wonder where I else I could post to get some attention to this, like Wirecutter. Or iFixit or Consumer Reports. Customers have gone for over a year without a fix? Really?
I just checked on my iPhone and Cricket ringtone is alive and well in Classics in my phone on iOS 17.0.3. Are you trying to set it for your phone ringtone or are you trying to use it as a text tone? It is no longer there for text tones. Whether it will be returned (there are issues with text tones in iOS 17) you'll need to wait for an update, which may address this.
Crickets were gone before IOS 17. The cricket ringtone quit working on my phone 7Plus back in summer of 2024. Upgraded to 15 Plus and cricket was present but still not working. Trying to fix it was useless. The minute I tried to switch to another ringtone, cricket selection disappeared.
I have run all updates on the phone (Android, Google and Samsung), it is using Android 11 and says the software is up-to-date. I have tried editing a few contacts and even adding new ones to see if the ringtone option would show up, and it does not.
When you've done this step once, the Contacts app now has the necessary permission, meaning that you'll now see the "Ringtone" option under "More..". if you want to customize ringtones for any further contacts of yours.
I have used those apps with no issues ever on my Note 3 and my husbands S9. This Note 20 wont allow me to use a third party app or the phones OS to assign any individual ringtones to any contact - there is no option for that anywhere. This has to be an OS issue somehow.
I too am a techie, and I like helping people solve problems with their devices. To that end, I have a few more things I would like to ask. Are you on OneUI 3.0 (Android 11)? Have you verified that ringtone is not already an option on the contact you are checking on (the View More option ONLY has options that are not already set)? Asuming Yes to both the above, try creating the following folders on the root of your phone, if they are not already there (would say on the root of the SD card too, but Samsung did not grace the Note20 with such a reader for some reason...):
I created a rubbishy drum beat track when I was just messing around with the Garageband App. Just playing with the options and I exported it as a ringtone. Now I can't get rid of it. Deleted it from the Garageband file area in iTunes, still appears in the list on the phone. Deleted it from Garageband using Garageband. Still appears in the ringtone list...
In the My songs page in GarageBand on your phone, tap edit and select any song (doesn't matter which one...if you have no songs just create a blank one right quick), and then tap the share button and scroll to Ringtone. If any pop-up message shows just click continue. Then tap "your ringtones" and hit edit; then you should see the red minus, which you can tap to delete the ringtone. This is the only way I've found to do it...it removes the tone from the "export ringtones" area you used to make it available as a ringtone in the first place. Doing this does indeed remove the tone from the list in Settings-Sounds. Hope this helps.
Same issue. I have a ringtone loop I cut in Garageband. Can't delete it. I even restored my phone to a backup I had from BEFORE I installed Garageband and the app was back, and the ringtone is not listed anywhere I know of to delete it, but still shows and plays in the Ringtone settings.
I deleted the app because I already export the ringtones that I like. But when I decided to remove those ringtones I install the app again and the minute I went to "My Songs" and made I new one to export because that's the only way I know how to get to "Your Ringtones" and deleted the ringtones, but when I click it the ringtones wasn't there. And I dont know how to delete it :(
hello, I had done as you suggested but ringtones have returned and now mysteriously disappeared even from Garageband .. I connected the iPhone to iTunes but the situation does not change: the ringtones are in settings and I can not find them for ultimate elimination.
I have set the incoming ringtone on my phone using the menu. The menu shows the ringtone that I selected for incoming calls. But when I receive a call, the old ringtone is used. The s/w version is up to date.
After numerous calls to Verizon Wireless, resetting the phone, and having Verizon calling me thinking that I had changed the ringtone, I figured it out. It's not convenient, but it does work. You have to change EACH contacts' ringtone. Open your contacts list, then select EDIT, scroll down to the ringtone and you will see that it has the DEFAULT ringtone set to it, even though you changed it under settings. Select the ringtone and then click on change and you can change it and save it. Then when you receive a call from that contact, it will be the ringtone you chose instead of the Default.
I'm testing out Zoom phone service, and in the setup process, I'd like to add custom .wav files to the options that users can select from for their ringtone. I uploaded a .wav file via the vvx450's web interface, but once I add the url to the recommended Zoom provisioning server, it gets wiped from the phone. Is there a simple way to create a template that lets me include ringtones for users?
Solved after some digging.
A user on the Poly forums showed how to format .wav files to work on Poly VVX phones: -SIP-Phones/Polycom-VVX300-and-custom-ringtones/m-p/83002/highligh...
Building the provision template wasn't too hard once I found the corresponding parameter in the Poly UC documentation: -ag-6-0-0/page/r-ucs-ag-sampled-audio-file-parameters.html
After that, it was just a matter of uploading my .wav file to a publicly accessible url, one caveat being that I had to make sure the .wav file name in the url had no special characters, because it messed up the Poly phone. On Zoom's side, the provision template looks like this:
saf.2 = " "
Give end users an option within the desktop and mobile application to disable zoom phone ringtone and just an application notification. While utilizing other meeting platforms for clients and receiving a Zoom Phone call, the ringtone will always play and interrupt the audio of the other meeting.
Wow! I finally got it but it was extremely counterintuitive. I had to go to the Ringtone settings page on my iphone 13 and there was a section with "Store" with two buttons, "Tone Store", and something like "Download all downloadable ringtones from the store".
I had no interest in purchasing ringtones from the store, so I didn't bother tapping this at first, but I figured what the heck, and I tapped the "download all downloadable ringtones", and the .m4r file's ringtone instantly appeared in the ringtones list in settings, and I was able to use it.
Earlier this year, I started getting audible notifications that my Google-voice activated phone (via Sprint) was receiving a call. Most of the time I get the notification before the phone actually rings. The ringtone is a bit annoying. Well, my wife has the same setup and somehow she has a different (less annoying) ringtone, so I'm wondering if Google just randomly picks something or what? We both have Google Apps accounts, so there's no difference there. Any ideas?
@Roberta830 I have never heard of the AirBnB ringtone. Is this the sound that your phone emits when you receive an SMS message? If you have a smart phone, you should be able to download a new ringtone or select a different one and set the volume.
A decade ago, the customizable ringtone was ubiquitous. Almost any crowd of cell phone owners could produce a carillon of tinkly, beeping, synthy, musicalized ringer signals. Ringtones quickly became a multi-billion-dollar global industry and almost as quickly faded away. In The Ringtone Dialectic, Sumanth Gopinath charts the rise and fall of the ringtone economy and assesses its effect on cultural production.
