ringtone plays for 2 secs then cuts off. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i'm running stock and i have made two different ringtones and when the phone screen is off, when someone calls me it rings for 2 secs and goes quiet. when i am browsing the web or am on the phone the whole ringtone plays. i am using ringdroid, has anyone had this issue?

I recommend ringtone maker or look around on zedge. It is most likely the apps fault because this is the first thread I have seen about ringtone problem.

Custom ringtones take too long to ring...

I've been trying out the Photo Caller ID with custom ringtone programs, namely Inesoft Address Book and Photo Contacts Pro.
Both work fairly well as long as the custom ringtone I set is in the ROM (I'm using a HTC universal btw). But whenever I choose to run the custom ringtone off the SD Card, I've tested that it takes more than 10 SECONDS for the ringtone to start ringing, i.e. the person calling you will be waiting for 10secs before you even hear your phone ringing!!!
Photo Contacts Pro documentation say this is because of the slow "wake up" time for memory cards. Is there anyway to work around this? Cause a 10+ secs delay for the ringtone is unbearable!!!
How long is your ringtone?
I have mine (Wizard) loading ringtones on the SD card, and I notice only around 1 sec lag time.
Maybe, you want to cut down your ringtone length and try. I have all my ringtone music around 30 sec each.
I've noticed this too, and don't have any third party call applications, it's especially longer when the file is MP3 rather than MID or WMA... :-/

What programs do you use to manage your custom ringtone?
My ringtones are also 30sec, MP3, 96kbps, 32kHz.
I put all MP3 ringtone in "My Document" folder in the SD, and I assigned tones from Pocket Informant.
Well...no fancy caller picture, but fit what I need.
Download Tweaks2k2 you can get a free trial, sorted out my delay, there's actually an option to disable the 3second delay!!!

Takes 4 Seconds for my phone to start ringing

I ran a test to see how long it takes for my phone to actually start ringing.
And it took at the least 4 seconds to start ringing, by this time the caller has heard the ring in his ear for about 5 rings.
Does anybody know how this can be fixed or to be made faster?
What ring setting have you got ? Vibrate and then ring ?

If i remember right the easiest solution is to convert your MP3 ringtone to a .wav file.
Its set to Vibrate and Ring

That is also in my case.
But... once I had a longer period. I checked the taskmanager and a lot of software was loaded. Maybe a program was too busy.
Then I tested again and loaded a bunch of programs and each time the phone was like above: 1e ring blinking and second ringing.
Of course it is possible that, while calling from the same number, the mp3/wav is already in memory, speeding up the process.
So, after a soft reset, it should take more time.
Did not have time to check that.

P.s.
My problem is: I keep loosing my ringtones now and then after synching with my PC's

Thanks, I will take a look at running apps and try and see what factors would cause delays like this.
I disabled the touch pro themed dial keypad using advanced configuration tool. The phone rang a bit more quickly using windows mobile default keypad.
Ok so I uninstalled CommPro and it seemed to be much quicker now. It get the ringtone after the second ring.
Thanx

[Q] Custom ringtone plays continuously after missed call

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there is a fix. I have a two week old Nexus 5 on 5.1, completely stock. I set my ringtone to an Mp3 "song" that I have in my music folder by going to settings/Sounds and Notification/phone ringtone, and selecting ES file explorer to choose the Mp3.
When I get a phone call the Mp3 plays as my ringtone as expected, and stops when I answer the call. However, if I don't answer the call, as soon as the person hangs up and the missed call notification pops up, the Mp3 I have chosen for my ringtone will start playing and will not stop. It just plays over and over. Exact same thing happens on my wife's N5 when we purchased the same time. Any ideas what's going on??

Ringer delay

Does anyone else have a delay before their ringer repeats? I have a few traditional ringtones that are only a couple seconds long. When someone calls, the tone plays then there is about a 4-5 second delay before the tone repeats again. It is conspicuously long and makes you think the caller hung up after the first ring. It seems to occur randomly.
Any ideas?

[Q] Setting for non-repeating ringtones?

Hi @all,
long ago in times where Nokia was the leading company which sold the most phones their phones had a setting for a single tone notification for an incoming call. My latest phone (ulefone metal with Android N) has a weak vibration, so i'm missing calls from time to time. But i don't want to have a long running, loud ringtone, because when i'm not at my desk, but my phone is still there, i don't want that my colleagues will be disturbed by a ringtone which runs a minute or so.
I found an audiofile with a single beep, which i can use as ringtone, but this beep will always repeated as long as the caller doesn't give up. This is even more annoying than a standard ringtone. So now my question is: How can i set up the phone that this audiofile is played only once and not repeatedly? This works for notifications, but not for calls. I'm searching for such a functionality in modern phones all the time since the Nokia-times, but didn't find it. Anybody out there knows such a setting for android phones?
As a workaround i could create an audiofile with a single beep and 5 minutes of silence, but this is stupid
Thanks, jennix
