As the title states I'm running dzo's latest with the 9-9-10 kernel. The issue is that when I get a call my phone rings once then just stays at the answer screen as though the phone should be ringing.
So has anyone had this issue with dzo's froyo, and if so what did you find to be the fix if u found one.

I am having the exact same issue, very annoying, no solution so far...
I'm unable to help factively, as I'm not running that build, but just to start troubleshooting... which kind of ringtone are you using?
Have you tried to use a different one (i.e: a song)
What's the result?
maybe this can help tracking the issue

It's a clean installation so no installed ring tones, only the once dzo included. I will try with some of the others to see if they all produce the same result.
Far from solving the issue, it may be a patch: having a song (obviously longer than a ringtone jingle) you'd hear it longer
Yes but if the filesize is too big then it will take a while to load the ringtone also which would mean you would miss the first dials and possibly altogether. This may be a dialer issue, I have noticed that android doesn't seems give the dialer a higher priority then the other active tasks for some reason. Does anyone know if we can set priority of activities in Android? If we can make the dialer the highest priority then your phone shouldn't have less issues.

Not only that, but a fix is what I'm after, not a workaround.
I've already posted a fix for this in dzo's original Fresh Froyo thread:

P.S. Have anyone noticed, that some ringtones (e.g. Digital Phone) ring only once? While still vibrating, and showing caller ID, the phone does not repeat the ringtone. I don't know, when it starts to happen, but it was in any ROM from July.

I had this problem as well, thought I'd share my finding and fix:
In OGG files I've found that there's an extra meta tag called ANDROID_LOOP which is set to 'true'. The Digital Phone ringtone doesn't have this tag, while others like the Classic Phone does (hence why the Classic ringtone repeats for incoming calls).
Here's what I did to fix this:
- Download and install Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net)
- Open the ringtone file in Audacity, note you can use mp3/wav files as well, Audacity can convert them into OGG.
- Select Open Metadata Editor for the File Menu
- Add a new tag called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to 'true'. (See screenshot here: g-sel.com/meta_editor.jpg (I can't post external links, so if a mod would like to edit this post and make them links, please feel free.))
- Click OK
- Select Export from the File Menu and select the Save As Type format as Ogg Vorbis Files.
- Click OK through File Save and Metadata dialogue window.
- Copy the new ringtone file onto your phone and enjoy
You can also copy the new file over the existing one as well:
- Open a terminal program (eg. Better Terminal from the marketplace) and run the following commands:
$su
#rwsystem
#cd /system/media/audio/ringtones
#cp <location of new ringtone> .
#chmod 644 <new ringtone filename>
#rosystem
#exit
- If you have added a new ringtone, ie. your own one not Android default, you will need to reboot the phone for the new ringtone to appear on the list.
Obviously change <location of new ringtone> and <new ringtone filename> to where you've saved the new file (eg. /sdcard/Ring_Digital_02.ogg and Ring_Digital_02.ogg).
PS. I don't think the CHMOD is really needed, but I like to keep things consistent so I do it anyway.

Thanks to siwahem for solving the problem...
@zPacKRat: I apologise but I suppose I've clearly said: what I suggested may be a patch waiting for the solution, not the solution

Indeed thanks to siwahem for a fix. And sorry ppelleg2003 if I came across short, I always appreciate input.
Forgot to mention that if you want to use your own sound for notifications then set the ANDROID_LOOP tag to false, otherwise the sound will keep looping non-stop. Only way to stop it, without killing the sound system, is to set the phone to silent mode, then back to normal profile.
Seems, this tag is ignored for alarm sounds though, non of the default alarm files have the tag, but I haven't tested it.
As for dialer priority issue, android actually uses a different process for phone calls. The dialer is part of the contacts app I believe.
Try Phone Prioritizer (it may be called Scheduled Scripting) app (here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558822). It runs periodically to set the main phone processes and launcher at higher priority. I've been using it and it works a charm, phone reacts, starts ringing and display the incoming call screen within the first ring.

I have found the issue to only apply to certain ring tones.

This thread was about ring tones, your not likely to get much help with compcache, you might try the devs thread for the rom itself.
set vibrate to always fixed the problem for me.
I was sure i read in the middle of some thread a few days ago, a post someone put up with the default ringtones but with the volume increased on them. But have spent all morning trying various searches and cannot find it. Anyone else seen such a post / thread, or am i imagining it?
I don't know about the thread, but you can do it yourself pretty easily with a program like Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) or anything similar (there is probably even a Web App out there).
Just copy your preferred ringtone from the device, turn up the volume and copy it back. Done!
PS: I strongly recommend making a backup if you want to go back to a quieter ringtone.

Hi, on my GN 4.0.2 I have selected a mp3 as my ringtone. The strange thing is that after playing the "song" once, it stops ringing. On my old SGSII the same mp3 file was looping until call was answered. Anyone experiencing the same, or have a solution?

You need to convert the .mp3 to a .ogg and add the field "ANDROID_LOOP=True" there is a thread on here somewhere about it.
No idea why mp3's dont loop on this phone

Thanks for the help, been having this problem as well. I found the tread you mentioned and changing the value in the file did solve the issue.
Here's a link to the tread you mentioned for the OP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390644
Ok... I have been searching for an answer and I cannot find this anywhere.
If I have an unread text message, when I reboot my phone I get this annoying "song" letting me know I have an unread text message. It does not stop until I unlock the phone and at least pull down the notification bar.
I think it is some version of the "over the horizon" jingle.. I have searched in the system/media folder to see if it is located there in order to delete it, however the only one that sounded similar was the acoustic "over the horizion" .ogg - but renaming that with .bak at the end did not rectify the problem.
Does anyone know where the system is pulling this sound from? I want to replace it with something a little more.. mature. Or get rid of it all together.
Any help is appreciated. If you don't know what I am talking about, please leave the thread for more experienced users to reply instead of cluttering it with questions.
thanks!

It's not going to be easy to help you without asking a question, but I'll try.
Check the Notifications folder on intsd for the sound file. If not there, you can search for audio files with any file explorer to find it. But the folder you checked and the one I listed are going to be the most common places for notifications.
Stop using stock Samsung messaging app because it's garbage. In any case, you've overlooked a setting (in messenger app), probably.
I have already run a search using root explorer that covered the entire system, and did not find any .ogg or .wav sound files I had not already checked.
It's not a setting in the stock messaging app (which, btw, works perfectly for me and definitely better than any 3rd party messaging app IMO)
There's nothing in the internal SD card notification folder except for the facebook pop sound. Only a beginner would not have checked that.
This is why I said let more experienced users answer, preferable Devs who understand the architecture of the stock GS3 system folders.
The further I look into this issue, the more I am beginning to think it's a T-Mobile function that cannot be disabled in the stock ROM without modifying the ROM itself. I have found threads in other forums where it's even an issue in T-Mobile Windows phones.
I do however remember there was a way to disable it on one of my old phones.. either the MyTouch 4G or the SGS2.. but I cannot find the xda thread from way back then.
My search continues.. I will post any information I find out.
Update: Checked the build.prop file and I can see where the default "alarm_alert=Walk_in_the_forest.ogg" is called out, however I do not think this is the cause as that .ogg file does not sound like the alert I am hearing. I believe the line of code I am looking at only dictates the default alarm sound. Continuing to troubleshoot..
I've flashed this ROM and now I have very low incall volume and also I have no sound for vocal messages on Messenger.
Does anyone know what exact value to edit in the mixer_paths_0.xml file?
I've also had no speaker volume but I managed to find those value and increased them so this part is ok.
