Anyone have this issue when you set a customer ringer for a friend/wife/etc. and when the call comes in it rings the default ringer for a split sec and then rings the custom ringer assigned to that person???
Yes, I've had it happen several times. It's rather shoddy, I hate it.
Are your custom ringtones on your SD card? Some phones turn off the sd card when off/hibernating. So it takes a few seconds to reinitialize and if it can't find it it uses the default rings. Whenever I reflash/hard reset my phone, I copy the ring tones from my sd card to my windows folder. Never had that problem yet.

I've noticed the larger the custom ringtone in file size, the longer it takes to load. If you shorten your mp3 or wma ringtone to about 30 seconds, it will load quicker and maybe even eliminate the current ring delay.

I also remember someone else saying that WMA ringtones load faster than MP3. I don't know if it's proven or not, but it would kinda make sense since WMA is more native to Windows Mobile than the MP3 format is. (Microsoft optimizations and what not, especially considering this is what the ringtones on the OS are usually anyways)

I can set an mp3 as a ringtone, but when I switch the phone off and on again, the ringtone has reset to a default ring.
Anyone know what I need to do?
I have the same problem
My phone is from Orange, where is yours from?
What the hell could the problem be, it makes no sense...
Why dont you download ringdroid from the market its free. It allows you to trim mp3s and create ringtones from them. It will also set a created ringtone as your default ringtone.
Just tested it and no problem after power off.
I used default music player, then menu, set as ringtone and it is working after power off. I got sim free phone.

Thanks for the work-around but I would like to know why my phone has this probem, especially as it may be part of a wider more serious issue...
If anyone else has this issue, please state what model you have.
Edit: Just tried Ringdroid and it works a treat! Still not happy with having to download it though...
My phone is from UK, handtec.co.uk and is a white sim-unlocked. And the ringtone resets to the default after i reboot my phone I will try ringdroid, hope it works.

Currently running the most recent energy rom. My ringtones only play for like 2 seconds then stop, then repeats when someone is calling. I know it cant be the mp3 file itself because it fully plays in my media player. Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks.

I have the same problem with an SMS alert that is about 6 seconds long. Have tried putting the MP3 in phone memory and on storage card. Problem occurs on various ROMs (COM2, COM3 etc). Goes away for a short while after a soft reset.
Must admit, I haven't tried changing the file type to .wav or .wma to see if that helps yet.
I just solved it. I went over to "ring type" in the sound and display menu...it said "ring type: Currently set to: "Other". I changed mine to Ring and vibrate, and that fixed it.
So i use ribgdroid to cut my mp3s to use them as a ribg tone. Only problem is, when someone calls me it rings really quiet for 1 second then goes to a normal volume. Am i doing something erong? I am saving them as ring tones, i dobt see the problem. Regular vibrant tmobile ringtones work jusr fine
Have you tried playing the MP3 on a different device?

That is a standard samsung thing. It happens on all(most?) samsung phones. I believe there was a thread for a "fix" for it in either the vibrant or i9000 area... i dont remember but it makes it so it has the one volume level when the phone rings.
It's a feature. A very annoying feature.

Suddenly I am facing a weird issue with my ring tones, I set my ringtone to "Cassiopeia" originally. Since yesterday, even if i try to change my ringtone in the sound application it plays the sound "Club Cubano" when i select any of the ringtones in the phone. Same track over and over and over again.
I tried changing the ringtone from the profiles and there too the same issue. Interestingly, the phone doesnt ring to "Club Cubano" which it plays while testing the ring tones from sound setting. It plays something else.
Is there a fix for this / Is this a known issue?
I have similar problem with my P500. Not sure when it started, already a while ago, didn't have time to deal with that earlier.

I noticed that phone wasn't playing the ringtone (a mp3 file in the Music folder on SD card) it should. Ringotne in the Sound settings seemed correct. When I tried to change it to anything else it still played the same song.
Another weird thing is that if caller hang up before I pick up the phone ringing music stops and another track starts playing as if music player continues playing the song which was interrrupted. It stops when I press anything on the screen (if locked have to unlock first).
I tried renaming those to music files and then I got some generic rigtone. So for now I renamed the second music file and sticking with the unchangeable ringtone. Fortunately the song is OK, but still the issue is damn annoying...
Any ideas how to fix this?
For everyone who is simply blessed with the "Alone in Kyoto" Samsung Galaxy Note Ad in USA, here is the Ringtone.
Extract the attached mp3 from the rar folder and push with ringdroid or create/add to sdcard/media/audio/ringtones folder and select in ringtones.
Cheers

You can put it almost anywhere on internal sdcard, but watch out trying to put it on external_sd.
i.e. /mnt/sdcard/Ringtones works fine. The problem I can see is trying to read it under /mnt/sdcard/external_sd (which I would prefer)... it fails to read it on external_sd, so only internal sdcard will work for some reason.
Oddly, it reads my notifications fine on external_sd, and they are in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Notifications, nothing fancy.
Very odd issue this...
UPDATE: I realized I had a .nomedia file in my dir on the SD. That allows the media scanner to ignore that dir, if you have a reason to do so. (which I did and had totally forgotten about!) I removed the file and the media scanner properly sees my ringers in any dir I put them on external_sd now.
D'Oh!

I have plenty of ringtones in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Ringtones and I can pick them just fine in both GB and ICS. Mine are both MP3 and M4A format.
I am not sure what is causing your problem, but I would double check your file sizes and song lengths. I always crop mine to 30sec or less. Most times my call goes to voicemail before the ringtone ends.
I really like the song, but it really doesn't work well as a ringtone. It starts way to low and is way too long; gets cut off when the phone stops ringing.
The ringtone has to get my attention right away. This one's lulling me to sleep.
Thanks for the song, though.

The constant bass line (for lack of a better word) is essentially the ringtone for me, the rest of the song is just a warm velvety wrapper around it. I always have my phone next to me, so I prefer the more subtle tones rather than the ones that jerk you out of a deep sleep.
The song is definitely cool though - thanks to OP.
