Constant freezes, shut offs, no preloaded or downloaded ringtones n notifications tones

First, I was losing charge, come to find out my charger was dying and now dead.
That much is corrected.
But now, there are no preloaded ringtones, very few ringtones that I downloaded, or notification tones.
My alarm did NOT turn on this morning and I made certain it was set!
When I click on setting for sounds; notifications or phone ringtones the same error message appears on both:
"Sorry!
The application Settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close button."
How do i fix this?

Hi there!  
I can provide a recommendation to ensure we get the phone in working order!  
I'm glad you have been able to correct the power/charge issue. 
Have preloaded ringtones ever been present in the phone? If so, when did you notice them missing? That with the fact your alarm didn't work leads me to believe there is a conflict somewhere in the software, for this I suggest a hard reset. Its usually not the first thing I like to jump in to, but in this case I feel it's the best option. Then after the reset, the phone will reboot and ask you to sign into Google/Gmail, this will bring back your contacts and calendar events.  You will want to set up the apps again and the home screens. The SD card does not get touched, so you're golden with your media files.
Please advise your outcome with the master/hard reset.
Thank you and have a great day!

    Transfer your purchases from old iPhone to computer iTunes, then select tones in iTunes with your new iPhone connected, do a sync.

    Hi jaswantfromlondon,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact context for when or how these tones disappeared. If your tones have disappeared and you are having issues restoring them, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful (it refers specifically to 8.1.1, but the steps may more generally apply to your situation):

  • Macbook Pro freezes, shuts off for 10 seconds, and then returns to normal

    My 13.3" Macbook Pro has this issue of shutting off for 10 seconds and then turns back on to normal. Usually it happens whenever I wake the laptop with the lid open, whenever I open the lid "too fast" from clam shell sleep, and whenever I reopen the lid after when I realized that I needed to check something else. Every time I start using the Macbook Pro from these situations, everything works fine for about 20 seconds and then suddenly everything freezes and shuts off temporarily. Then after about 10 seconds, everything turns back on again. I do not know why this occurs, but I had this issue the 3rd week I purchased this. Is this a normal thing or is this an issue with possibly the motherboard?

    take a look at this topic, maybe will help:

  • Macbook Pro freezes, shuts off during startup

    My Macbook Pro sometimes freezes and when I try to turn it on again it shuts itself down during the startup.
    A couple of days ago my Macbook Pro (15 inch late 2011 with Yosemite) froze and I shut if off by holding down the power button. When I tried to turn it on again a grey screen with the Apple logo and a bar showing how much it had loaded showed up. It loaded about halfway through and then the screen turned grey and my computer shut itself off. It then turned itself on again and the same thing with the grey screens happened and it turned itself off. It continued like that until I forcefully turned it off. After awhile I managed to turn it on in Safe mode, I did a backup and shut it off for the night. The next day it worked fine. Today the same thing happened again.
    I remember before it froze for the first time and I shut it off a window came up that said something about a problem with the graphics. I was using Safari at the time. This time I was typing my password to log in.
    Does anyone know what the problem is, and how I can solve it?

    I do that by holding down Command and R when I start it, right? My computer is working fine right now, do you think I should do what you said now or wait until next time this problem happens?
    You can do that now.  You cannot do harm to your MBP by executing this procedure.
    Ciao.

  • My iphone is stuck doesnt shut off and wont finish downloading ios software

    my iphone 5s is locked up wont finish downloading the latest software ios what should i do ?

    Greetings nydob,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error when attempting to update. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • When downloading a movie i rented my internet shut off and it stopped downloading how do i continue the downloading?

    Help! My movie only downloaded 20 minutes of it because the internet connection was lost,what do i do?

    The logout settings are under the Advanced tab under Security & Privacy in the System Preferences. More than likely you have it set up to automatically log you out after so many minutes. Simply untick this setting.

  • Use downloaded ringtone as text tone (no jailbreak)?

    I just got my iPhone about 4 days ago and I'm having trouble finding a way to use a ringtone as a text tone. Through some searching on the web the only way I saw people were able to do this is with a jailbroken iPhone which I don't want to do. Is there any other way to do this?

    Yes, the only way to do this is to jailbreak your iPhone. I personally do not want to do that, though I very much wish that Apple would allow for customization of this via the configurations or a third party app.

  • After iOS 7 download have to do "hard resets" several times a day...phone freezes and shuts off

    After ios7 I have to do "hard resets" several times a day. Phone freezes and shuts off.

    Hello Hockey2013,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Usually for an iPhone that is doing this I would recommend resetting the device, but you do that already. Next I would have to recommend backing up to iTunes, then restoring the device.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    After you restore the device I would set it up as new and use it for a bit to see if the issue persists. If it does not, restore from your backup and then test it for a bit again to verify that it works.

    I have downloaded the new iTunes 10.7 on my computer with windows vista on it. Now every time I try to run a video it shuts off iTunes. Is anyone else having this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice. Is there a fix? Is it possible I am missing part of the program?

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
    I am running Yosemitie on a  iMac.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Automatic Updater will not shut off-keeps freezing computer up

    I am on hughesnet, and have a 300 meg daily limit.
    Twice now, I have had the automatic updater download updates at the wrong time, and both time it has taken me over my limit, and shutmy speed down to 14.4 kps as a result.
    I am going to the updater section in system preferences, and turning the automatic downloading of critical files off, but the system resets itself when the computer is shut off, then turned on again.
    Is there a workaround for this?
    Thanks.

    That should not be happening.
    Are you running the system as an administrator?
    My box is unchecked and it stays that way.
    It might be a corrupted .plist - - there are two of them
    One in the main library and one in your local user library in the preferences folder
    The name of the files is
    com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    You can drag it onto your desktop and then reboot to create a new .plist.
    See if that helps.
