Arlo, when will you be providing a custom doorbell ringtone option for Android? While you're at it, why not just a notification instead of a call from my doorbell, especially when I'm home? I can see this has been an issue for years. I am just setting up my system, but will be returning it if it's true that Arlo has no intention of resolving this issue. It's one thing to have good cameras, it's an entirely different matter to have a crude security system. Notification customization is a pretty simple feature to program. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this issue.
The profile in question: When I receive a text message with a certain word (let's say "urgent") in any permutation, my phone's volume turns on regardless of whether or not it was on silent, goes loud, and plays a ringtone.
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 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 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 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.
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.
Hi!
Is it possible to set a ringtone as a text tone in iOS 17? Bought a new text tone to set for one of my friends. It is categorioed as a ringtone though, so can't seem to set it as a text tone. Anyone know how to make it work?
Thankful for your help!
Hence, people under Work would have one ringtone, Family another, Friends a different one, etc. I get that there would be some overlap (people in two groups), but then the default would be which ever ringtone las last applied (individual or group).
I found a ghetto work-around for group ringtones on the iPhone. It's sort of annoying but once you get it set up, its easy to then change a group ringtone. You have to set the ringtone for each one of your contacts, but only ONCE, and then changing the ringtone for a group is easy. You won't want to do this unless you enjoy changing your ringtones every so often.
1. Create a custom ringtone for each group you want to set, and give it a default name that you recognize (ie "AA_Family" "AA_Friends" "AA_Work" etc). I put the "AA_" in front so it shows at the top of my ringtones list on the iPhone.
3. Now the annoying part...you have to go into each contact and set the ringtone for each one according to the group they belong to. I know, this sucks. But I have about 150 contacts, and I did it, and it didn't seem to take me THAT long. You get into a rhythm and just knock it out. (First try just setting it for a few contacts, maybe 10 that are in the same group, because if you don't follow these instruction correctly you will have to do it all over again.)
4. Now, if you ever want to change a group's ringtone, just create a new custom ringtone, and rename the file the same as the default name (ie "AA_Family") and replace the file in your library. Then, when you sync, it will just update the ringtone for everyone in that group.
For example, let's say you have a custom ringtone for the song "Thriller" (named Thriller.m4r) and you want to set that for your "AA_Family" group ringtone. You do the file rename/replace and stuff in your iTunes library, but make sure that Thriller.m4r is NOT in your iTunes library when you sync. If it is, it will mess up the group ringtone stuff you just did and set the ringtone of everyone in that group to "Thriller" instead of "AA_Family".
So, I just changed my family group ringtone to Thriller, and now I want to change it to Jingle Bells. I do the same rename/replace procedure, and I make sure that JingleBells.m4r is not in my iTunes library. Thriller.m4r isn't in my library either because I removed it before. Just make sure that you don't add it back in on this sync either because it will mess up the group ringtone stuff. But I want Thriller as a ringtone still on my iPhone, just not as a group ringtone, so what do I do? Well, just do one sync to update the group ringtone (without Thriller in the library), and check it to make sure it worked. Then add Thriller.m4r to your iTunes library, and sync again. Now you have Jingle Bells as a group ringtone, and Thriller.m4r as a single ringtone.
