The last few weeks I have noticed that when I reboot my Rezound the ringetone I select is forgotten. It stored on my 32GB SD card so I moved it to the internal storage under the Notifications folder. It still does not remember it when I reboot..

I have to go back and add it as a ringtone through the settings menu. Any ideas short for a factory reset?
 
I'm having the same issue with my notification sound. I don't have the issue with ringtone, but I'm using a pre-installed factory sound for that. I hope this issue gets resolved with an update eventually.
 
I've not had any issues with my rezound forgetting the ringtones or notifications. When you selct the tone you want are you selecting the apply button or you just make the selection and return to your normal activities?
 
I select apply and it sticks for the most part. At restart or power on it goes away. Appears the phone isn't ready for the mapping at boot up... maybe it's that the start up blows by too fast or slow for that setting to lock in. Just guessing here.
 
this happens to me with my favorite external ringtone apps like RCP. you click save within the app once you choose a tone or group of tones, the tone sticks but then disappears randomly maybe a day later or three days later. then i don't get notified of my texts until i notice it has unstuck.

i emailed the developer of one ringtone app i used and he gave me the directory where his app saves the tones and i am going to try manually moving them over to the proper folder and see if they stick.

this only happens with third party ringtones that worked fine on my droidx. ringtones built into the phone always stick.

this happens with fastboot off and on.

Yep its very strange. Guess I wont try a reset as it seems that its a FW issue.

Some people on XDA have complained about it also.
 
this has happened to me from the first week i had this phone. running stock, after a factory reset, and after rooting and freezing bloat FYI
 
Sorry to revive an old thread but I did a reset around two weeks ago and the ringtone has been fine. It now started the same thing again....
 
i cant remember this happening with my droidx now that i think about it.

it is driving me nuts on the rezound.
 
Happens to me also. I'm only using the stock ring tones / notifications. Not rooted or unlocked. Strange???
 
same here I even went to my local Verizon store and they could not figure out how to fix it either
 
I noticed this problem for me as well, and it seemed to be related to my music also going missing (I'd launch the stock player and I'd have no music). I seemed to isolate this to verizon's vcast sync that apparently was added recently and once I disabled the sub categories of the sync (can't disable vcast on the top level of the sync screen) like music, media, movies? (don't have the phone in front of me working) then this issue seemed to go away, at least for me.
 
Yeah it does seem to relate to the HTC Music app loosing all the music. I too have disabled the Media Sync from VZW but still get it.:-\
 
I'm having the same problem. I have vcast syncing disabled and tried moving the sounds to the internal phone memory from the SD card but it hasn't helped. Not rooted or unlocked and this is in the stock Messaging and Google Talk apps as well as Facebook. It happens maybe once a day or every two days, increasing in frequency in the last two weeks.
