Why does mine only ring once? Any ideas? I've tried other ring tones, still no luck. It only ring once.

Thank you.

YES!!!! mine too. WTF??? $299 for this??? my old p.o.s. phone rang forever until I could hear it. This is unacceptable for a "smart" phone.:mad:
 
mine does this as well. i have a 3 second long sound as my ring, so i just doubled it. i figure if i dont hear it in 6 seconds im gonna miss it anyways.
 
It looks like someone forgot to add the "ANDROID_LOOP" metadata to some of the ringtones. If you are rooted you can open the ringtone in a program like audacity and add the metadata "ANDROID_LOOP" and set it to true.

Yeah, ogg only. Though it's not to difficult to convert your mp3 to ogg and it would give you a working ringer until the mp3 looping issue is resolved.
 
I had the same problem, but just cut a large portion of an mp3 as a ringtone...still only rings once, but the tone is roughly 20 seconds long.
 
Thanks for the response everyone. Hmm... so only ogg format loops huh? Mine is a standard "ring ring" (mp3 format) ringtone. I can't see myself out in public with "Hit me baby one more time -Britney Spears" ring tone. hahaha.

Ken :D;):rolleyes:
 
I'm glad someone else is having the same issue... I'll try to find which ones are OGG and set one of those. I'm another "digital phone" person myself.
 
Two questions:

1) What is the general procedure for taking any sound file, wav, mp3, etc.. and preparing it for use on the phone as a custom ringtone, and in what directory is it stored on the phone?

2) Can custom ringtones be used on an Android phone without rooting?

EDIT: Never mind, I got it.
