Ringtone & Music Question

[trewqy]

I just got my Droid 2 yesterday, and after fiddling around with it, I decide to put the microSD card from my old LG Dare into it in order to use pictures and ringtones.

At first, I was able to accest all the default ringtones AND my music files straight from Menu > Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone. A new screen would come up and show three options - something like... ANDROID ~something~, another thing, and music. Something like that. I don't remember since I only saw it about 4 times. If I were to press the music option, a list of all my music from the SD card would show up and I was able to select, play, and and choose a song to set as a ringtone from that screen.

I was able to do the same thing when setting individual ringtones for three people.

Now, if I go to Menu > Settings > Sound> Phone ringtones, only the list of Default ringtones would show up.

Yes, I'm aware that I can set mp3 ringtones by going to my music and then selecting the option to set as ringtone from there, but I found the previous method is more convienent for me.

Is there anyway to return that menu?

I have not been able to reproduce the menu you are talking about within Settings.

I've tried long-pressing, hitting menu multiple times, and just about everything I can think of.

My guess is the contents of your SD card were shuffled around, so you no longer see that menu; in other words, the location that the menu in question checks no longer exists or is renamed/moved. I'm not sure where they were stored with your other phone, but I'm willing to bet it's not in that location anymore.

I recently downloaded the Rings Extended app, which gives me the desire menu (with added options due to the app).

So it goes Menu > Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone > Complete Action using ... Rings Extended > Music.

Before (without the Rings Extended), it would show Complete Action using... and show Andriod System and something else. And there's a "Use by default for this section" check box, which I probably checked off on accident while choosing Android system, which leads to the default ringtones.

If I chose the other option (I forget what it was), it would show a list consisting of Current Ringtone, Android System, Files, and Music.

Now, with the Rings Exteded, it has the above options along with Ringdroid (which is another app I downloaded. For some odd reason, the files it saves makes the music all choppy, so I don't use it anymore) and Select music track.

I'm satisfied with this.
