(But I think the problem happened before I loaded TLP, I should verify that). I have 3 BT headset profiles which I frequently switch between. BT seems flaky anyway as the BT connection is frequently lost in the middle of a call and drops back to the phone. I've also suspected that inadvertently hitting the volume buttons while picking the phone out of my pocket could be the culprit, but I can't replicate that. I've looked at my phone before and the ring volume is off when I know I didn't intentionally turn it off. I've seen the issue that others have mentioned that the volume buttons don't seem to work sometimes (when you're on a call? ...don't remember exactly when). It seems logical that if the volume buttons flake out and playing the sound file flakes out that the two could have a common cause -- audio driver or some such. I don't use music on my phone but I've read that others have music playback issues as well. I don't use any profile changing software. A soft reset fixes it every time.

My call ringtone I'm trying to use is Ring-Flute1. After I reset to fix the issue I noticed that it sets the ringtone to Alarm-Beeps (not sure if that happens EVERY time). It's like the pointer to the sound file gets corrupted or something. Probably no correlation there but what the hey.

It could be BT related but BT is always flaky in my experience, but this ringtone issue is new (to me). My vote is something to do with the audio drivers. You know, why would a BT driver give you a "file corruption error" on a sound file...

It'd be great to get a handle on this. Any questions, shoot away.

Who uses the flute ringtrone.............j/k

I believe that you are right. I have had the ringer issue as well but only when the B.T. or the volume buttons have been used. I also think iit is more device orientated due to the fact that I have friends that have never had a custom ROM still have a ringer issue. This is truly a mystery, and not ever being able to replicate it is frustrating. I don't have my Diamond anymore, but when this issue used to hit me I was pulling my hair out for hours after trying to replicate it. I just hope that someone can locate the issue 'cause not having a ringer on a phone kinda defeats the purpose of having one. With all the good people out here working on the issue, I do have hope that it will be resolved sooner rather than later.

If the freakn ringtones would work right I wouldn't need the Zen-like flute to calm me down! Too bad I CAN'T hear it half the time 'cause it doesn't go off!

I don't use bluetooth. If its audio drivers it has to be in the custom ROM cuz they --WMAs and MP3s work in the shipped ROM.

Shoot! forget about WAVs, I can't even copy WMAs or MP3s to my device storage--I'm outta space

I have to agree with you here. I've had 2 Diamonds so far and have never had a ringer issue. That said, the first one I ran the stock ROM for quite some time (I was too scared to flash back then, lol) and never had a problem. Then I flashed Mighty 4. No ringer problem then either. That phone crapped out and on my second phone I have flash many different ROMs. Both 6.1 and 6.5 and still no ringer issues. So for sure not ROMs IMO. I should note that I've never used a custom ringtone. I have no idea how to use MP3 trimmer as I've never opened the program and I don't use bluetooth.

OK, I am sure this is a dumb, obvious question, but has anyone just called their carrier and reported the ringer issue just to see what they would say? I would suggest just playing dumb....stock ROM, don't know anything about ringtone formats, etc. Just a thought.

Just save the custom ringtone into your internal storage root (\internal storage\) no sub folder. The phone should see it there and add it to the list.

Really though, I don't get all the fuss. Is this problem just custom ringtones? Because I only use the stock ringers or vibrate and have never had this problem.

While this is funny, I just want to note that when this ringtone issue crops up (as it did for me briefly this morning), setting the phone to vibrate doesn't work either. It's how I knew that something was wrong the other day- meeting profile sets ring to vibrate and I got nuthin'.
