Anyone else having this issue?
Earlier today my ring tones and notification tones all went to default tones for no reason. So I reset them to what I usually use. Well, 6 hours later they all go back to default again.
This is far from the first time this has happened, actually it happens a couple times a month at least.
Anyone have an answer?
32gb GS3 stock, not rooted, running all stock ringtones and notifications.
No, but touch sounds keeps resetting to default. And wifi turns off occasionally without me doing it.

WiFi is normal to turn on and off, when in and out of WiFi areas with that option turned on.
But these tones going to default are pissing me off.

Yup, mines been doing this for weeks now. Very annoying. Thought it might have something to do after I remove the battery as I do so often in having two batteries but it's not the Case

I think it might be that my ringtones are on the External SD card not on the phone. Every time ya turn it off, it resets.... IDK, just an idea
Nope, I am using all the factory installed ringtones, nothing added to SD card.
I am checking for Apps that I may have installed that could be causing it. I uninstalled one that I think maybe causing this issue, but won't post until I know for sure which one is causing it.

Keep us posted as my wifes does this as well.:cool:
For those of you using custom tones, I had a somewhat similar issue, where my tones were not being found/reconized. For me the solution was to move my ringtones and notifications into folders called ringtones and notifications at the top level of the SD card. Maybe you could try doing the same and see if that works.
/mnt/extSdCard/ringtones
/mnt/extSdCard/notifications
I am not using any custom tones!
...but just for kicks I moved all the ringtones and notification tones up into new folders just to try it.

Just logging that my GS3 has been doing the same thing. I am running stock on Sprint w the 32gb model (trying to include relevant info).
I have both the ringtones changing and the screen-touch-sound issue going on. And they happen separately from each other.
I use custom tones, but I have them in the correct folders (been using same tones since OS 2.2 and I had to have them in correct folders back then).
Would love to know what is messing with these settings.
thanks

Sometimes when i get a text message only half of the tone plays.
mine does it too!! its soooo annoying.
Anyone find out the problem? Even when I set a ring tone with the zedge app it still goes back to default without even re starting the phone

Apparently this has something to do with the checking for overflow of SMS for deletion. Under Messaging -> Settings you can disable the "Delete Old Messages" option and it should fix that.Quote:

As for the resetting of ring tones, do any of you use a task manager app or something that frees up "unused" data?
I know this is not the same phone, but my Thunderbolt has been doing this since January (Bought the phone when it first came out in March of 2011). It only happens when I restart my phone. A few months ago I received an OTA update and it seemed to fix it... That was until a week or two ago. It's doing the same thing again, and I can't figure out why. I'd love to see if someone could figure this out.
I find this happens to me if i clear data/cache from media in apps section.Quote:

I'm guessing somebody would know if they were doing that, but perhaps there are task killers/cache deleters at work in the background?
Had this issue with my original Droid for more than 2 years and never figured it out. Now doing it on my SG3 so I'm thinking this may be pervasive with Android more than just 1 device. Dunno. It's not a deal breaker for me, just annoying.
Could be something in the contact sync process setting ring tones back to default? System somehow restoring default during sync, updates or from a backup process? Conflicting settings created from another related process with a higher priority?
Whatever it is, it's been around for quite awhile now. At least for me.
I had this issue with my Rezound...
Ringtones and notifications resetting to defaults or actually switching to other ringtones.
The issue was corrected when I finally did a factory reset (through HBOOT, not through SETTINGS).
This did in fact fix the issue and it has never returned.... I know it's a different phone, but you never know...

That would be my guessQuote:

Well, just to chime in mine does it too... I had the same issue on my SG II Skyrocket. I always thought it had something to do with connecting it to usb, so i eventually just left the default alone. On the SG III the default is too quiet so I am still playing around...
