Not your avg. ringtone problem

[bakabreath]

I've set custom ringtones for contacts that I frequently get calls from. When the first call from a contact comes through, the ringtone works perfectly fine. When the next call from the same contact comes through, I get the system's default ringtone. Does anyone else have this problem?

Do you have your ringtones in a folder called ringtones?

All reingtones have to be in the rigntones folder?

Not sure if they "have" to be.....might help narrow down the issue....

Speaking for myself, yes, all my ringtones are in a ringtones folder. As far as Locale, yes, I am currently using it, but I've had this problem since day one...long before I started using Locale.

I've read a whole bunch of threads about this same problem ever since I started this one. No one seems to have a solution. I recently tried something drastic and put all of my ringtones in a folder on my SD card like this:

media > audio > ringtones

It was a pain to reassign all the personal ringtones after moving them, but even though the first call that came through disappointingly had the same stock ringtone, every call after that had the personalized ones (so far).

Is anyone else willing to try it to see if that does the trick?

Hi, Bakabreath,
On the first day I had my phone I created a directory called "media" on the SD card. Then in the media directory I created a subdirectory called "audio". Then in the audio directory created subdirectories called "notifications", "ringtones", and "alarms". Then I just dropped my files into the appropriate folder, and assigned ringtones to contacts.

For notifications: media/audio/notifications
For ringtones: media/audio/ringtones
For alarms: media/audio/alarms

That's worked for me and after a couple of months I've had no issues at all. Each assigned ringtone works each time. Maybe it has to do with where the ringtones are on the Droid???

Same here...still with issue. Even those ringtones that came from a ringtone 'app' don't work.

My droid was rooted and I lost the stock ringtone "droid invasion" Is there a place to redownload it?

Thanks
