Help S4 ringtone & camera problems

Hi Everyone, hope someone can shed some light on this ...Not sure when this changed (may have been with the last update but who knows!)

For some strange reason my S4 will no longer let me set personal ringtones for my contacts !......It used to....and now because i cant set any at all (doesnt even give me the option) it wont let me change ones that ive set previously....Ive even gone to the extent of deleting the contact & then re-adding them.....and instead of reverting back to the current default ringtone it still plays the fecking ringtone i previously set for it!! (how does it fecking know?....lol)
The only thing ive found on google about this is other people saying the same thing has happened to their S4 & the only replies they get are people telling them how to assign ringtones to contacts....(which you cant do because it doesnt even give you the option in the first place)

The second little bug is with the camera & lock screen.........It shows the option to swap the lock screen widgits from camera to favourite apps.....but the text is greyed out & the switch screen button (which is normally green) is also grey & nothing happens when you try to swap it!

(Sorry....just need to rant my frustration....lol) Honestly im starting to hate this bloody phone... Everytime it updates it changes settings & moves things around.....I doubt I'll be buying another one & im never going back to crappy apple .......so that doesnt leave me much choice....might have to get the ole trusty Nokia 6300 out ....lol....;-)
 
Every time there's an update, some people are happier with the older way of doing things - which is why my Note 3 is staying at 4.3 until an update comes out that I like. (I've disabled the updater.) I bought the phone because I liked it, and I still like it the way it was when I bought it (well, after I got through customizing it). It's my phone, not Google's or Samsung's, so I'm not letting them decide how it should look or work.
 
Stock Verizon S4 here running KK 4.2.2 - I can set ringtone, message alert and vibration pattern for each contact separately.
