Ringtone delayed

[proplayer44]

I've seen that one but its not quite the same. My phone has already "accepted the call from tower" (not sure of the phrasing there) because when it lights up like a disco ball I can click answer right then and begin talking, but at no point did I ever hear a ring tone. I just need to be staring at my phone when a call comes in for this to work. Its nothing to do with towers. The actual ring tone is delayed.
