Hermes 8525 Assisgned mp3 ringtone to caller, but default tone plays 1 sec before mp3

[cejay]

I have an AT&T 8525 (WM6 standard unmod'd rom) in the US, and have assinged a simple mp3 ringtone (have tried wav, etc, also) for my default ringtone.

I have assigned certain callers to their own mp3 ringtone.
The ringtone does play, but the default ringtone plays for about .5 to 1 second before the other mp3 ringtone plays.

If you look at the caller id on the display, it also says UNKNOWN for .5 to 1 second then switches to the caller name and phone #.
Why does the phone do this? IT makes for an odd sounding ringtone at 1st
with the default tone chiming in for a second.

Ideas?

I too have the same problem with some roms! Now on Shap's 4.0 it work's fine! For now :)

Same problem with my 8525 with VP3's latest but, it doesn't do it all the time.

i've got the exact same problem. kinda glad to hear it wasnt just me! lol:o

yeah mine does that too. I would assume it has to do with the time it takes for the phone to get the called ID information. Just like your house phone, caller ID takes just a little bit longer to get than the ring.

Change the ROM and you will not have these problems any more :)
Or use some programs to free RAM memory, like CeleTask (X-button doesn't free full memory, it only closes active programs!)
As I sad Shap's 4.0 works fine with ringtones, for now!

I did discover one program that was causing a delay, long enough
to let the other ringtone (default) play..

I had latest Resco Audio Recorder automatically recording
incoming phone calls. I turned that feature off, and it still
says unknown VERY briefly but not enough time to
let the default ringtone ring thru now.
