    Sounds: notifications, alarms and ringtones

    That's the answer I was looking for. TY sir!! Now on my nexus 7 running 4.4.2 (actually I had the same issue on 4.4), the sounds just don't seem to show under notifications as they should. /storage/emulated/0 is symlinked to /sdcard on my device. I do see the files in the folders. Permission...

    Sounds: notifications, alarms and ringtones

    lol... sorry. I have plenty of faith, I'm just having a hard time understand how something as simple as adding additional sounds seems to be so difficult.

    Stock are oggs. I'll have to try converting them.

    Sounds: notifications, alarms and ringtones

    I'm confused I guess. The default media folder is /system/media/audio/ Ringtones, alarms and notifications are all located there. I don't want to add files to these folders since this would require me to write to system (and thus keep giving me ota update headaches). Instead there are 3...

    Sounds: notifications, alarms and ringtones

    Has anyone gotten these to work on kitkat. Tried to place ogg files that I was previously using in the system/media folder to the sdcard/notifications, alarms, and ringtones but they will not show. I don't want to move them back to the default system folder as I can't run the ota every time...

    Galaxy S4 won't charge

    right on... another thing to try that seems to be working apparently is to 1) plug the phone into the charger then force the reboot via recovery (press power and vol up then select reboot). Phone will actually get out of the boot loop and load normally then charges though it still doesn't appear...

    Galaxy S4 won't charge

    update on this... factory reset the device - relocked bootloader and unrooted the phone (again Odin works fine as the USB connection did work while in bootloader mode). The phone still doesn't get recognized by Windows via USB and does not charge after the factory reset. What a waste of time and...

    Galaxy S4 won't charge

    same boat here. batt charges fine in cradle. phone is recognized by USB while in bootloader screen. same issue with new spare batt so it's not a batt issue. interestingly batt seems to be charging if we put the phone in bootloader mode. wife s3 had the same issue. had to wipe it a couple of...
