My Samsung Galaxy SII with CyanogenMod 10.1.3-i9100 (stable) has the weirdest ringtone problem: if my wife calls the ringtone is the one I've assigned for her, if the next caller is unknown, it rings with my wife's ringtone, not with the default one... This happens with any of my specific ringtone contacts. I've no idea where to start looking for the problem. All my sets are ok, I'm no noobie and I know what I am doing. I think the problem comes even from a previous custom ROM, can't remember for sure.
I thought an app called Group Ringtones might be the culprit, uninstalled - same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've just got my new Xperia Go set up, updated to stock ICS and rooted (using some of the helpful threads on this forum!) so I could install Google Apps as my phone originally came with rubbish Chinese apps/store/etc, but now whenever I select custom ringtones for various contacts I have a strange problem: I can select the ringtones fine (I'm choosing various MP3s as the basic ringtones are mostly terrible and I like to know who's calling from the song), but then whenever someone (say, caller B) calls me the phone plays the ringtone from the previous caller (caller A) instead of the one for caller B. And then the next caller after that (caller C) will get the ringtone from caller B, then caller D will get caller C's tone and so on, which is obviously pretty useless for identifying who the caller is, unless the same person calls me twice in a row!
Any ideas why and how I can fix it? My only guess is that maybe the MP3s are too big so the phone can't load them in time? Though I never had this problem on my old Nokia phone, and they're only around 5mb each. I also can't find anyone else having the same problem, and if this was the case I would guess it would be fairly common. But then this would also be true if it's a general bug. Otherwise I guess it's some problem identifying the caller? But then why would the correct ringtone for the previous caller always be played for the next caller? I also tried moving the ringtones from the Ringtones folder on the internal card to media\audio\ringtones on the SD card, but this didn't make any difference.
Unfortunately I can't remember if the problem occurred when the phone was running GB before I updated to ICS, as I updated it fairly quickly after I got it so hadn't bothered customizing it yet.
Thanks!
I love Steve's AOKP PUB Rom but I seem to have one really irritating issue upon using it. I set my ringtone and notification sounds to the ones i always use. Pyxis for Ringtone, and Don't Panic for notifications. Then i noticed that i was not hearing the sounds during incoming phone calls and texts. So i go into the sound setting to see whats up and they both have unrecognized sounds listed. When i try to re-establish the original setting all the choices are gone except for 2 or 3 instead of the usual several dozen. If i use Root Explorer to go into the media folder all the ogg files are still present. Sometimes they come back upon a reboot. Sometimes they dont. Anyone else seen this or know whats happening? Thanks.

Same here. I'm back of AOKPBRAVO at the moment because of the sound issues. One thing that helped me a bit was to disable vibrate with ring and have ring only but it still would lose the ringtone and on calls the screen would light up and i had missed calls because the ringtone wouldn't be recognized.
I have noticed this same issue and believe I have found a work around for the problem. First take off the Vibrate on incoming calls. Then in the root of your sdcard there is a ringtones folder. Make sure that the ringtone is in that folder. With some of these new roms, they will only play ringtones that are in that folder plus the default that the developer chooses. Go into contacts and set the ringtone for the contact. First I would do it as a test ringtone on a number you can call from. If you have the same ringtone for multiple people then you have to make a new copy of that file. It will only play it for the last contact you assign it too. That is how I cleared my troubles with it. Hope this works out for you.
I have certain ringtones set-up for certain callers and, of course, a generic ringtone as well.
Well, I've had this problem happen SEVERAL times with both the new firmware and the old firmware. A person with a specific ringtone will only get that specific ringtone occasionally. It's really a crapshoot as to whether it will actually play or not.
For example, yesterday I had a friend call and I heard her specific ringtone. We lost signal in the middle of our conversation and 5 minutes later she called me back and I got the generic ring. Called me back from the same phone.
This phone is buggy buggy buggy.
Hope this helps
First off..... put your specific ring tones (Music or whatnot) on the internal storage of the phone. You may run into problems if you don't. Then, go to sounds and ADD the ringtones there. After that is done..... you shouldn't have anymore issues. Hope it helps
My samsung mega doesn't ring only some time. If it doesn't ring the call will go to voice mail. If the caller hangs up before it goes to voice mail I never know I was called because it doesn't show a missed call in call log. I have read all I can find here and other places. However my problem isn't exactly same as I find. All sound is on and volume is up. I also know this since it does ring some time...
Now on the dialer pad on the # key there is a icon looks kinda like a speaker with a line through it. I can't remove it, what is it. Even though it is there the phone will still ring sometime.
From what I read I might have a software problem. Can I put the KIT-KAT on and perhaps solve the problem
Any help appreciated.
I posted this on the incorrect form a couple days with no answers. Probably because post was wrong forum.

Hello,
I am running the latest update: ALP-L298.0.0.119(C636) and noticed that the default ringtone for one person is not working.
I tried to set a different tone for one contact and asked him to call me. The ringtone is the same with what I had set for everyone and not his specific tone.
Does any of you also encounter this? fix?
Thanks!
