Help Ringtone Reset

[blingblang]

I don't know if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in a search, so!

I've had this really irritating issue with my Droid since I very first got it in April. Every half a day or so, it switches both my ringtone and my notification sounds to silent. I have to switch them back manually to hear the sounds.

I recently uninstalled almost all but the most necessary apps, and I can't think of anything I have installed that would be doing this.

It's quite irritating. XD The annoyances list for this phone is getting far too long. Any tips?

Thanks!

Sure - use the AppBrain app and get a list of all your apps and post them here.

Welcome to the forums, blingblang.

I've moved your question to the Droid 1 support area, although there is a chance by "droid" you could be referring to just about any Android product. Be sure to let us know if you have a 2, X, Eris or Fascinate or something else other than the good ole Droid.

That issue you report sometimes can be remedied by a reboot, other times by clearing cache and data in the messaging and phone apps which use ringtones, other times with a factory data reset.

lol Sorry, Frisco - I didn't realize you were posting a reply as well, just saw the post...

Thanks for the welcome! I do indeed have the Droid 1.

Here's the list:

Goggles
Handcent SMS
Google Voice
Solitaire
Facebook
Opera Mobile
Market
Maps
Amazon MP3
Twitter
Google Search
Gmail
Youtube
Angry Birds
doubleTwist
Airsync
Dropbox
Google Translate
Skype Mobile
Stopwatch & Timer
Colornote
Astro file explorer
Droidlight
Shopsavvy
Talkback
Street View
Notes
TTS service
Voice search

I'm not too keen on a factory reset, but if I have to resort to that I probably will.

What exactly would I do to clear the cache in Handcent?

I don't want to be irritating by bumping, so I'll only do it once. (Couldn't find it in the rules...)

If I can't get it sorted, I'll probably manage to live with it. XD
