I have been getting an odd bug lately.
For example, when my wife calls me, I have a specialized ringtone (song from music player), but sometimes my N9 will sometimes play the Nokia ringtone or my Digital phone rington (set as global tone), even if I have specialized ringtones for certain contacts.
It seems to be just at random. I set all the ringtones for the contacts, then save, then after this bug I check and it said global ringtone on all the contacts I had just changed, so I went one by one and changed to the custom ringtone and then rebooted, after restart each one showed the proper custom ringtone.
however I tested it, and my wife called me and it started to play the global ringtone again....
Help... I thought I had upgraded from my N97....lol
You need to make sure the ringtones you're using are actually stored in the ring-tones folder, I think. Use Filebox (free on Nokia Store) and find your way to user/mydocs/ring-tones (note the hyphen). Put your chosen ringtones in there, even if they're copied from your PC and then when selecting custom tones for your contacts it should work. I think when you've selcted tones that are actually songs in your Music library, the phone "panics" when it can't find your chosen song quick enough and just goes for the Nokia Tune by default, so at least you catch the call.
I've just tried this and it works great. Although my work colleague is bewildered as to why I'm calling my N9 from my desk phone when I should be working on accounts!!  
Nokias: 232, 3210, 3330, 6230, 6101, 6021, 6126, E75, E73, N900, N8, E6, E7, N9. There's a Samsung in there somewhere too, but...we don't talk about that.

  • N97 Ringtone Issues

    Bought an N97 last Friday on release day in the UK.
    Have had a whole host of NSeries phones from the N70, N73, N95/6 etc..
    I use separate ringtones assigned to a range of about 10 contact groups and assign them from Contacts > Groups > Options > Ring Tone.  This then updates the ringtone for all the contacts in the group.
    I also set default ringtones in all the Profiles that are not silent.
    This was never a problem in previous Nseries phones but what I am finding is that at times I get the standard Nokia tune then next call will use the correct ringtone and after that it is the nokia tone again.  I am also getting a drop out in the tone about 2 secs in for about a second then starts ringing again.
    I initially put this down to the fact that my phone is connected to computer and the mass storage and memory card are locked down, so with this in mind I moved them to the phone memory, not ideal but thought give it ago and I converted them to all 3gp files as assigning through the group would not show anything but 3gp or AAC.
    However the issue still exists and is getting really annoying.  It is having no problem with ringtone selected for incoming mail, messages, calendar and alarm clock.
    Anyone else experiencing this?????

    Apologies for Hijacking your post but I don't really want to Start another "ringtone Issue" Post
    Had a problem with my N97 last night whereby whenever my girlfriend called, the phone would ring with the default Nokia tone. All other calls rang with my personalised ringtone.
    After playing around with the phone I found the reason was I had tagged her picture onto her contact details but used a full 5MP photo. After editing the picture and dropping it down to 640*480 the phone rang with the tone i'd set.
    It looks like due to the image size the phone was taking a while to display the caller image and then play the tone as well
    Thought it would be worth a mention incase anyone else comes across this problem

  • N80 SMS and Ringtone issues.

    Hi Everyone,
    My phone takes too long to send SMS (2 - 3min), my gallery freezes when you revert back to it after editing a picture and the ringtones play when my phone rings, but seconds later it slows down like a broken record!
    I have perform the *-3-Green reset, I have had the software updated and the issue is unresolved.
    I dont think Nokia knows what to do now except for reloading the firmware. (Theey have reloaded it a total 9 times since I got the phone in July 2006)
    Can anyone shine some light, apart from going to another brand?
    My carrier is Vadofone AU.

  • BB 8130 designated ringtone issue.

    I have a blackberry Pearl 8130, I use a Macbook and I have US Cellular for a carrier.
    I figured out how to get ringtones on my blackberry. And I gave the contacts I wanted to have custom ringtones, each custom ringtones. Then I wanted a custom sound for my messages that came in so I created a new profile and edited that also. Now the messages come in and the sound I chose for them comes in but when the contacts call it doesn't use their specific chosen ringtone I assigned in their individual settings. I then went in to the created profile and added an exception hoping that would make them work, tried it and it doesn't work. How can I get this to work, where the ringtones work as assigned to each person and still get the various message tones to come through as well??? 
    Please Help!
    Shelley

    I don't have T Mobile.  I have US Cellular Thanks anyway. I did figure out the issue. I don't know how really, It was an accident. I created a new profile ( named it ) , then I changed all the settings in the new profile, but in order for the ringtones to ring upon each designated person, I needed to chose a different profile and add the name of my new profile to the list of exceptions. It seems to work right now.

  • Verizon Palm Centro ringtone issues

    I have A Verizon Wireless Palm Centro and I have some songs on Ptunes I want to use as ringtones. I'm not getting a card anytime soon so can someone just please find a FREE software for me that will turn the songs either on my computer to MIDI files or whaterever will work with my phone. thnx!
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Songs can easily "DL" right to your phone from your computer.  It's all explained clearly in the User Guide that ships with every device (on the Installation Disk in pdf format), and is also available online at Palm.com.:
    First Open Pocket Tunes on your phone, then Windows Media Player.  When both programs are up and running, plug in your HotSync cable, but do not press the button to Hotsync!
    Windows: Open Windows Media
    Player on your computer. On the Sync
    tab, select Set Up Sync. Select Finish.
    In the Sync tab, select the files and
    playlists you want to sync manually.
    Select Start Sync. The files are
    transferred to your smartphone.
    This will send the whole library to your card.  There is an option to "Not Sync Automatically" that will then just open the library window in Windows Media Player on the right pane.  You can then drag and drop any songs you want on the card into this window.  When the songs are in the window that you want, then press the "Start Sync" button below the list in Windows Media Player.

  • N70 freezing and ringtone issues

    Hey there hope someone can help me please. Ive rang orange customer services and spoke to them about my issues with the nokia n70. The phone brings up the nokia logo on a white screen and stays there for about a minute then goes away leaving the phone back to normal. Next i try to change my ringtone but it keeps defaulting back to the nokia tone. Orange customer services said these are known issues and i should get a software update for my phone via the nokia website. Ive tried looking for an update but cannnot find anything.
    Please can someone tell me what i can do.
    Many thanks.
    Mark

    HI Mark!
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
    Sorry to hear you are having so many problems with your N70. Unfortunately Orange would be incorrect in advising you to visit the Nokia webpage for a software update, there is a patch available for this phone but this is only to help remedy a problem with ring tones not playing.
    Your problem seems to be a bit bigger than this, Orange may be correct in advising you that you need a software update. To get this done you will need to visit a Nokia Service Point, if you follow this link: http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,8764,76918,00.html you will be able to find the nearest to you.
    Right now it isnt possible to update your phones software from the Internet, it can only be done by one of the engineers .
    Cheers

  • Thunderbolt Notification/ringtone issue after 2.11.605.9 Update

    I know that this latest update was supposed to fix the bug where the wrong ringtones were being played when a custom ringtone had been set; however, now I am seeing a different issue with ringtones/notification sounds.   After receiving the update on 12/21, I have noticed that my ringtones and notifications sounds no longer stay set.   I noticed it when my email notification sound started playing some mp3 that I had on my phone and as I was looking further, all of my contacts that I had given custom ring tones were now set to some other ringtone.   I reset all of custom ringtones on my contacts and notifications sounds that I had noticed had changed.   This morning....many of them were set to something else again.  Including the gmail app notification sound (again).    Is anyone else experiencing this issue.

    Same issue as many have described above.
    After update to 2.11.605.9 my custom ringtones and notifications change every time the device is power cycled.   The vast majority of the time my txt notification sound is changed to "Facebook Pop" (which I don't actually remember being an option prior to the update to Gingerbread).  That sound is nearly inaudible, not to mention it's not the custom notification sound I've selected, and contiune to select.
    About 25% of the time after reboot the device selects an mp3 file saved on my phone, one that isn't even listed within my notification ringtone selections list.   It's pretty bizarre, not to mention more than a little frustrating. 
    It makes no difference if the phone it just restarted, or shtudown completely and then started up once more - notification & ringtone selctions are not saved.

  • X6 ringtone issues

    Hi.
    I've a glitch with my X6 which is got me head scratching,
    the ringtone sometimes plays nostagic tone instead of selected one. this happens every so often for no reason and with nothing changed between calls to have made a change happen, it will alo revert back to playing the selected tone without me having to change it manually
    any ideas?

    I can't see how large numbers of text messages would be causing this issue, SMS takes up a tiny proportion of hte user memory in a phone like this; and reformatting is a bit drastic as a first-line troubleshoot.
    Where are the ringtones stored? Music files to be used as ringtones are best stored in phone memory because if the phonbe can't find the file when it needs to use it (for example, if that contact calls whilst your phone is connected to a PC in Mass Storage or Data Transfer mode), it will default.
    Also note that if you synchronise your phone with PC Suite, Ovi Suite or online services like Ovi Contacts, then ringtone information is not synched because the PC can't handle it. Therefore, if during a subsequent sync your phone contacts get overwritten with data from the PC or onine service, individually-set tones are lost.

  • Text ringtone Issue?

    I currently have the Droid RAZR and I'm having a problem with my notification sounds when I get texts. I recently added a new ringtone to use for my text messages and successfully changed it. However when I receive a text, it plays my ringtone of choice, but it is quickly interrupted by the annoying "DROID" sound. I've tried changing EVERY sound from notifications to my ringtone of choice but it still does it. Changed my texting and notification ringtone to this and still every single time I get "DROID" interrupting it.
    I'm using the normal texting app that comes with the phone, nothing special

        Hi BaggyMo, I'm sorry your having so many issues with your notifications and ringtones. I see you have tried almost everything we would have advised to do on your device. I would also try checking your app notifications. It could also be your email notifications. I will list steps below to manage both notifications on your device.
    App Notifications settings:
    1 )From a Home screen, select the App menu (located in the lower right).
    2) Select Play Store (Formerly Market).
    If the application icon is missing, select App menu filter (located at the top) then select All apps.
    3) Refer to Application Update Notifications - Google Play.
    Gmail Notification settings:
    1) From a Home screen, select the App menu (located in the lower right).
    2) Select Gmail.
    If the application icon is missing, select App menu filter (located at the top) then select All apps.
    3) Select Menu.
    4) Select More.
    5) Select Settings.
    6) Select the appropriate Google account.
    7) Select Email Notifications to enable / disable.
    Enabled when a green indicator is present.
    8) Select Labels to notify.
    9) Select one of the following:
    --Inbox
    --Priority Inbox
    10) Select Email notifications to enable / disable.
    11) Select Ringtone.
    12) Select a ringtone then select OK.
    If applicable, select Vibrate.
    13) Select one of the following.
    --Always
    --Silent only
    --Never
    14) Select Notify once to enable / disable.
    Enabled when a green indicator is present.
    15) Select OK.
    I hope the steps above will resolve your issues. If you continue to have issues, we may need to perform a hard reset on the phone to put the device back to the original factory settings. Please keep us posted.

  • IPhone 6 ringtone issue

    I am unable to change the ringtone on my iPhone 6. It shows on the screen that I have set a new ringtone but does not actually change the ringtone. Bug or something else??

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
    Then try again to change the ringtone.

  • Custom Ringtone issue

    I know I saw a thread on this a few weeks ago, but I am unable to find it. When I sync custom ringtones to my iphone it always takes one of them and makes it the ring tone for all of the custom ones I have.
    For example I make ring tone one then sync it to the iphone it works fine.
    then I create a new garage band project and create ring tone two then sync it.
    When i look in my i phone ring tone two is listed twice and ringtone one is gone. I delete them then resync now ringtone one is listed for both custom ringtones. This is really odd. I have done the hard reset and am doing a restore now just to see if it will fix it. If it doesn't what else can I try?

    Try this: Deselect the "Manually manage music" option on the iPhone Summary tab in iTunes then go to the "Sync" tab and turn on the options to sync music and ringtones, and finally click the "apply" button. This will generally allow all ringtones to properly transfer. You can then turn "Manually manage music" back on

  • Android to iPhone Ringtone Issues

    I recently received my new iPhone 4s and for some reason, my brain isn't wrapping around transferring the ringtones that I purchased through Verizon to it.  I don't have many - probably less than a dozen - but I don't want to buy them all over again.  Is there a definitive link/app/process that I can use to do this? The old phone was a Samsung Fascinate, but I don't think that matters.
    Thanks for any info!

        Hi vegasrenie,
    I can set this straight for you and I'm sorry for any confusion. I use ringtones for different contacts, so I know they really come in handy.
    If you purchased the ringtones from Verizon Wireless, you would have to purchase them again when you upgrade to a new phone. However, if you are using sound bytes from your previous phone that have been saved to your SD card, you can hook up that phone to your iMac and transfer the data from the SD card to the computer. You can then hook up the iPhone to the iMac and transfer the sound bytes from your iMac to your phone.
    Thank you,

  • N93 RINGTONE ISSUES AND GENERAL SLUGGISH BEHAVIOR!...

    I've been battling with my n93 for about 6 months now and recently got all excited about the release of the 20.0.058 firmware update hoping it would solve most of the phone's catalogue of problems.
    One of the most annoying problems for me was the fact the ringtone randomly switches back to the generic Nokia ringtone for calls, then back to the one i selected. Its not just for certain callers or anything like that, I called my phone from a landline several times without touching the settings and found the ringtone still switched between the generic Nokia ringtone and the specified one.
    Also switching between menu's is still slow (very, very slow at times!!), especially going into the messaging menu or selecting 'show' for missed calls, messages etc. This problem also seems to be just getting worse. When I first got the phone, the delay between switching menu's wasn't a problem, but it certainly is now!!
    Both these problems have persisted since I've updated to the 20.0.058 firmware.
    If anyone has advice on how to solve these problems, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only person that would be grateful if you shared it with us on this forum.

    Well my friend, im in the same boat as you, I was waiting and waiting for this f/w. I had oringal phone back in october, f/w ver 3 or something like that, I went to update it at the shop and it came back f/w 11 etc..
    I used my phone for about a week and the autofocus stopped and also the button on the side froze. So again it went back, 3-4 weeks later i was sent a brand new phone. I was pleased as I though great the new f/w on it too.
    How wrong was i, it was f/w 10 etc...
    So after reading many discusions telling us not to goto the latest f/w because of the b/w video and other faults. I waited. I did not want to waste my time to goto the shop and get it sorted as Nokia's website said there will be an update.
    Feb theres an update, but its the same f/w which people were telling others to stay well clear of.
    So again my phone,
    b/w video
    b/w pictures (**bleep**) even in colour there grainy and thats in full light.
    the sms function don tget me started..
    I send about 10 texts in one go, and it fails after the 1st two have gone out.
    I have to then goto the outbox, click on each one and then click resend or send again.
    While this is going on, I get a message which says I have a new message, I click on show, and then it freezes the menu, I have to turn off and back on again to get the whole damn phone working again.
    The menu's are sluggish, not at all quick like the past f/w version.
    The batt well it lasts a day, I bought two and a desktop charger to help matters.
    Barcode reader, well full light, waiting for 1min and more for it to produce something is so wrong, whats the point?
    Ring tones,
    Somedays its like the speakers shot, or fuzzy, while other days its fine.
    Flash.
    Not really much use unless you got your phone in there face, so whats the point in having a light on it? Is is really there as a torch? rubbish!
    Profiles:
    I do not know, or cant remember if this was an option here, remember the day where you could have it on silent for a specified time? where has that gone or was it not there?
    Oh also, if you do a full backup, and then upgrade online, and then restore, all your songs, videos which have keys, will not work again, even if you still have the orginal keys, they will not re-install. (thanks nokia)
    For me thats it after a few days after upgrade. I will post more faults apart from the obvious ones.
    Smiler
    Like someone else says in previous posts, maybe if Nokia juse admit that there flag ship phone is a muk up and do a recall and give out either n93i, n95 or even the n97. This will cut down on time they have to keep fixing the n93 and then can work on other things.
    Well Nokia customer service did ring me, very shocked....
    They asked me what if any problems i had and gave me a range of questions to answer rating on 1 to 5, 5 being best.
    So far Nokia, you dont even come on the rating... your well below.
    I suppose its what you get if you buy something for money these days and not on tick or hp. You save up or even just think you got to gave the next best thing (as the adverts say it is!!) and then it isnt, whats that saying?
    All that glisters is not gold?
    hmm
    anyway

  • Ringtone Issue

    Hi All,
    I am only able to post in this area for some reason, so i hope someone can help.
    Since i updated to IOS6 i have lost my main ringtone. I have 3 others for 3 of my contacts all of which i bought as ringtones and all work. However i had a song as my main ringtone which i uploaded orignally using the maketones app. Since i updated it has gone and when i tried to re do it, it doesn't show up. It is listed on my music list on my phone but not in tones/sounds. In itunes it is listed in my music and tones but i can not get it to go into tones on my phone when i sync! can any one help????
    p.s i have tried the un-tick tones and sync and then re-syn with tones and this does not work.
    Thanks in advance if anyone can help! :-)

    Typical, i have now managed to fix this, with a little help from a colleague! It has cost me a whole 99p but i have re-bought the song as  a ringtone on my iphone and it now works! Annoying that i have to pay for the song again but at least i have my ringtone back and hopefully this may help someone else if they dont mind paying for the song again! :-)

  • N97 - using songs as ringtones issue

    If i choose a random contact and push edit I can choose ringtone. I get a menu with different folders, and i would pick the music folder. But, just a few of my songs from the musiclibrary shows up. But if i go to the musicplayer I am able to take whatever of my 500 songs and link it to a contact. has this something to do with type of file or?
    Thank me by Kudos me.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I solved it! I had a musicfolder with som music just inside that, and more music inside folders in the musicfolder, and when i deleted those other folders and just put all my songs in the musicfolder - it worked. Seems like the n97 has some trouble handling lots of folders inside folders
    Thank me by Kudos me.
