Help Samsung Galaxy S4 Notification Sounds

[Bl1zz4rd]

Hi all!

I recently updated to Android 4.4 and have encountered a problem with setting custom notification sounds.

Every time I want to set a custom notification I get this list of Samsung sounds to choose from, instead of being asked, for instance, where I want to find the sound.

My friend, who has an LG G2 running Android 4.3 gets the following when he clicks on notification sound in Whatsapp:

Whereas I get this:

I then thought to install an app that controls all notification sounds, kind of like Lightflow does notification LEDs. I found MegaSound and tried that. Gave it permission, went in, tried to set a custom notification sound for Whatsapp and was shown the same list to choose from.

Does anyone have any idea what on earth is going on? Before I updated I was able to choose a wma/mp3 sound from my files on my phone to use.

Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.

Did you try Zedge? give that a try.

Did you try Zedge? give that a try.

I actually ended up copying the file to the notifications folder and that made it appear in the list and created an option to use media storage to select the notification sound. Zedge also appeared in that options menu. Thanks for the help.
