My wife’s (and occasionally my) Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 makes a BONGING sound, like a GONG being struck slowly, rather than play the ringtone she has selected as her default ringtone. The sound is very soft, without much volume, so she misses a lot of calls. Does anyone know how to fix this? We are desperate.
I assume you already tried selecting a different ringtone. You can also try uploading an mp3 song to the Ringtones folder and select that one. Hope it helps.

For some reason despite my best efforts to change the audio (like for example when I get a new e-mail it plays a sound. I change the e-mail sound notification under sounds and notifications, but no matter what I choose it plays the same sound…)
It does this for every sound but my ringtones. (which I have ringo installed for so it somehow supersedes this problem.)
So I am wondering is there is a way to master set the sound so that the sound I choose is the one that plays. Sounds and notifications won’t do this for me.
Searched long and hard, but with any luck I just could not find the answer.
Any help or direction would be appreciated!
Q
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
Just a guess
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.

Hi there,
I am having a ringtone issue.
Issue:
1. Unable to set any MP3 files as ringtones.
2. The option which i had last time (when you hold down an MP3 and one of the drop down options was "Set as Ringtone" is gone missing).
3. I have tried with the MP3 tone set to Windows\Rings\ as well but same issue.
4. The ringtones are visible in the list but when i select them and perform a test play - no sound.
5. I am able to play the default sounds by Dopod.
Kindy appericiate your advice before I have to try a Hard Reset
anyone can help?
Still having the same issue...
Same problem here.
When someone calls vibration works but ringtones don't.
:/
solved this issue with a hard reset....
Apologies if this has been asked but I've not found a thread so far for this problem.
I am using rom 1.61 and recently decided to add different ringtones to my most common contacts. The ringtones are just normal MP3 files, eg some are songs, some are stuff like TV theme tunes etc. They all play perfectly in any of the media players like coreplayer etc.
But when any person with a personalised ringtone calls me, I get no ringtone at all. The phone vibrates, and the speaker is on & volume turned up, but no sound plays.
Anyone know if this is a fault, or is there a setting I have missed or something?
Thanks
Jim
i had this problem with the same rom but i found that setting the ringtone through file explorer seemed to sort it out
Don't think that will help will it mate?
You can only set the current overall ringtone like that, and the problem I've got is that ringtones set that are different for various people do not play.
Actually, I just found something out, that when I've set these personalised ones for different people it has set itself as a default tone just to vibrate.
I've changed it to a proper ringtone now, but I'll have to get a friend to call me to see if this works now. I have a suspicion there's more to it than this......
Bump! Anyone?
Hi everbody,
I have a Zenfone 3 and about two weeks ago, I flashed LineageOS on it. I'm very happy with it, except of this particular annoying bug.
I've set alarms every 15 min from 6am to 10am, because of my stupid work that has very various shift hours. So I activate the alarms I need depending when I start my job.
Anyway, the problem is that the musics I selected for each alarm don't always play when the alarm starts, some of them are replaced by the default sound. It's looks random, it can be any of the alarms, sometimes one, two, or more of them.
The music titles still appear in the alarms list, but when I click on it, it's the default alarm sound that plays. I have to change it and find the music in my folder to select it again so it will work.
All the musics I use are on my SD card, I don't know if it's the problem because with the stock Asus firmware, I didn't have this issue.
Does anyone else have this problem and/or an idea to fix that bug ?
Thanks for your help.
