Default Loosing custom ringtones created with stock rincgtone trimmer

Is anyone else having trouble with custom ringtones being lost anytime the phone reboots. I keep creating them from mp3's using the stock ringtone trimmer (which is an AWESOME feature BTW) and every time I reboot the phone, they get lost and go back to the standard ringtone. I've searched here and other places a few times and haven't found any answers. Hoping someone can help...

I had this same issue and posted it with no replies, I switched to "Ringdroid" from the market and it has worked great..

I would like to know how to use the stock trimmer. I noticed it is listed in my apps but I have no idea how to launch it. I had to use Ringdroid, and that is fine but if it's there I want to know how to use it.

If you are in the music app and have a song up or playing and hit the menu button it will give you the option to set it as a ringtone, if you select to set it it gives you the option to trim it witch brings up the stock trimmer..

This happened to me till I got rid of ringdroid. Called Verizon about it and that's what they advised in their infinite wisdom. Now I just use a file manager and copy any ringtones i trim to my notifications folder. No more issue

I had all of my MP3s on the hard drive so I'm going to try copying them to the SD card. I could never get ASTROview to see the internal storage, but it saw the SD card fine. Maybe that is the problem...

The stock trimmer puts the tones in a folder named .ringtonetrimmer on the internal drive. If you copy them over to a ringtone folder (say, for instance sdcard/media/audio/ringtones) you should no longer have this issue.

Also, in Astro, look for the folder named emmc. That's your internal storage.
