You can make it loop if you want


(Looping Ringtones)

This tweak works perfectly you should apply it to your ppc's:

While playing a wav or midi or a wma as the ringtone the phone has a delay of 3 seconds before repeating, now this is really annoying if you've just created that great wav,wma ringtone, spent time making it loop properly in sound editor or whatever, and then the ppc does the silly delay, well, here’s the fix...

Open the registry editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Select 'Values'
And modify 'Script' by removing the w3 (eg. change 'av0pw3r' to 'av0pr')
"w3" stands for "Wait 3 seconds" you can make it "w1" or "w4" or remove to make the ringtone loops

This may sound silly, but how do you edit the registry on the xda, I know how to do it on a PC.

yes it will work on all Pocket PC variants, including XDA2, MDA2, QTek2020, etc... (as long as they're ARM or XScale).

Just to add another perspective, the amount of time the phone rings is actually a network setting (the time before it goes to the answering service) and can be changed by sending status codes to the service provider.

I'm sure if you google around a bit you will find the answer, but I changed mine from 20 seconds to 40 seconds, which greatly reduced my missed calls.

Edit: Done the googling for you. Check out this website (Tekguru) with a guide of sorts.
