Hi! I have 1.1.2.16 sailfish os version and I use Clock sailfish app to set an alarm, Calendar sailfish app to set an event. Ringtones can be set under Gallery / Ambience / Clock & Calendar. When I changed the clock's sound it accepted that. When I changed the calendar's sound then calendar did not play sound at all. Calendar's setting: remind me at time of event. Reverting to the original sound file did not help either: no sound was played. Then calendar app crashed. Then original sound was played again (I used utilities / stop android support too however that might be irrelevant). Then I changed the ambiance's calendar sound and it was used. Maybe when ambiance or calendar is being edited when calendar fires causes the problem?

This is not a solution, but a workaround. It works until the GUI settings actually change anything.
I have used the developer mode and root access to replace the file /usr/share/sounds/jolla-ringtones/stereo/jolla-alarm.wav with the alarm sound that I want to have. Now it plays my sound.

Try changing ambience?
kuzeyron ( 2015-04-19 10:43:55 +0200 )editIt does not help. Changing the default sound in Settings or in ambience dies not work. Alarm sound is always the same. This must be hard coded some place. I don't expect any changes in following updates...

kuzeyron ( 2015-04-20 08:57:28 +0200 )editI cannot confirm this on 1.1.7.28. Works fine here. Changed alarm ringtone in ambience, and it is used.
