Selected contact ringtones

Since the gingerbread fix my personalized ringtones I have for contacts aren't playing. They worked prior

And the Thunder rolls!

Have you tried the battery pull for 5 mins. to clear the cache?

My only problem is that my contact ringtones get messed up and I have to reassign them....no biggie for me, I only have family members and close friends (20) that get custom ones!

I did a battle pull

And the Thunder rolls!

I bet if you checked the list they were all off by 1

 

[Jude526]

What do you mean off by 1?

And the Thunder rolls!

Each ringtone the one of the person before it on the list?

 

[Jude526]

I chose it. But my default one is ringing on some of them

And the Thunder rolls!

From what I've noticed the ringtone plays one behind. ie custom 1 calls it may or may not be right, then default calls and it plays custom1, then custom3 calls and default plays, custom4 calls and custom3 plays, and so on. The only solution I've found comes via rooting and installing your custom tones into your phone and changing the permissions. I've been looking for a fix for this for some time to no avail. Just another SNAFU from the gingerbread update that got through. I'm sure it is in the base because I've heard of people even using the stock ringtone for custom ringtones and it still messes up. The rooted people have had this problem for awhile now the OTA people get to reap the benefits of it.

Actually, as I remember it, there were numerous complaints of this even in Froyo.

I rerooted my phone last night, and tried fatboy97's suggestion about moving the ringtones to the phone's root and changing the permissions...and they are still doing the same as before....I did notice that if my phone hadn't rang in awhile, when a call comes through it would ring with the correct ringtone...not sure of the lapse in time before calls though...baah humbug....Just because I was curious I called Verizon tech support to see what they would suggest...the level two tech suggested I download an app "mortring" that assigns custom ringtones to contacts....didn't work...then he suggested that he send me a replacement LG Revolution...lol....I would rather go back to a dumb phone before I use a Revolution, I heard some pretty bad things about that one...

You're using a thunderbolt and the Rep offers you a replacement LG Revolution? Seriously? I would had laughed in his ear! Should had offered you another Tbolt!

I haven't rooted. Mine is stock

And the Thunder rolls!

Yep, custom ringtones are messed up since GB OTA. It is the only thing I can find that does not work properly. I thought I had fixed it by changing the custom ringtone back to default ringtone on a couple of my Contacts, then had them call, then reset them back to custom tone and had them call again. Custom ringtones worked for just that one test call. After that, messed up again. There doesn't seem to be much of anything from either HTC or Verizon acknowledging this or intimating there is any fix in the works.

It has worked well for me so far. Hope I haven't jinxed myself!

Thought I would share this link Ringtone changes - Page 3 - Page 3...may work for some of you having problems (for rooted phone), it didn't work for me...this is making me crazy...I guess it's time to use my Thunderbolt as a back up and search for a numero uno...HTC Rezound, or Galaxy Nexus....hummmm....
