For some reason, when my wife calls me she can hear whatever ringtone i have set as well as ringing. I have no idea how this is possible, and have not intentionally set it up. It is NOT a ringback tone. i can change my ringtone, and she will hear whatever i set. Does anyone have any clue as to what is going on, i would like to see if i can make this work for other contacts. This would allow you to set each contacts ringtone and have them hear it when they call which is kind of cool.
edit: The wife has a t mobile Galawxy Note 3
I wave the S4 running the "Insane Hybrid" 4.4.4 ROM

I posted this the other day. It never showed up? Did someone delete it?
Anyways - My phone just seems to ring only once when I call it. It will continue to ring through but only without ringing. If I put vibrate as a choice it will vibrate but other wise it just is silent and rings until voicemail.
I don't have a profile setup for ring that I can see.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Noticed this myself, it doesn't seem to loop the ring tone but will continue to vibrate

I think the problem may lie with the audio file. It seems to loop with the default ringtones but not with custom. May need to set the audio files to loop?
What kind of audio format are you using?
In a German board some guy had this issue with .ogg and could fix it by using . mp3 instead.
Haven't checked by self cause I always pick up the phone instantly.
I am using the the standard ring tones with the Nexus. It's called Digital Phone.
I have tried all the rings tones and they all do the same exact thing. Ring once and then silence or If the setting is changed to Ring and Vibrate then it will vibrate..
Update: I did notice something after playing around with it a little longer. Even though one of the included ring tones is Ditigal Phone and many others. There are many tones that start from D-Z do not loop when you are testing the tones. Any ringtone from Digital Ring Tone and below do not loop in playback.
So that must be the case for me at least. Anyone test it out and confirm?
When playing ringtones to see if they loop - I can't get anything from Digital RingTone and below to play in a loop for testing.

Hello,
it's one strange thing - it happends with all ICS rooms, maybe you know why:
I like setting ringtones fo each contacts. And if phone is in deep sleep, and someone calling me, sometimes default ringtone rings, not custom. But if same contact calling when phone isn't in deep sleep, all ok, ringing custom ringtone witch i set to this contact. Why sometimes phone start ringing default ringtone?

I have just stumbled across this very problem, posting here to see if anyone can shed some light.
Problem: Instead of playing the selected ringtone when I get phone calls I hear the bonk sound hear when I adjust my volume? This remains even after reboot.
Solution: It was an application called CallBlocker. I had enabled a setting called Pre-Mute Ring which was causing the issue.
Call controll does work very well, however this feature does have a caveat indicating it might not work correctly on all phones. I think the purpose is to mute the ring until it can identify if the call is on the blacklist or not. After that, I think it's supposed to unmute so you can hear the ring.
I finally figured it out after numerous reboots and a kernel upgrade. The problem remained so I figured it had to be some piece of software that messed with the call settings.

If I receive emails or have calendar event come due while on a call, I get the notification sounds playing in my ear while I am trying to listen to my caller. I cannot find a way to disable these sounds while I can connected to a call. Am I just missing something or is this a limitation?
I don't think there is. It is super annoying. It happened to me last week on a very important business call. I got several notifications while on that call and couldn't hear some of what the person on the other end was saying, it was loud enough that I thought even maybe they heard it.
Yes! Thanks for bringing this up. I'd love to at least make them quieter! I've had friends who tend to send multiple messages; I keep getting multiple alerts during a single call. It's very distracting.
Settings - System - ringtones and sounds - just untick what you don't want and choose "none" to any email, voicemail, sound alert.

That will just turn those sounds off all the time. That's not what we want. We only want those sounds off or a lot lower while on a call.
During a call the notification sounds are extremely loud and very distracting.

I guess that is not an option given the weird missing features WP7. (ringtone customization, ability to change volumes separately, having the ability to quickly choose between ring + vibrate, vibrate only, do not vibrate nor ring at all)
I would like my phone to ring loudly when certain contacts call.
I have tried AutoRing. Tried using Tasker profile from http://tasker.wikidot.com/alwaysringonimportantcontact
Nothing seems to work at all. The phone rings but no sound. If my (Tasker) profile switches off silent/vibrate mode at 7am, then ringtone volume works fine. It's only when I'm in silent/vibrate mode that volume does not increase/go loud for the specific contact.
It appears to be happening on SGS devices. My auto ring/whitelist never rang loud when I had an SGS3 either.
Has anyone successfully been able to have their phone ring loudly from a specific contact with their TMo SGS4?
I'm stumped! Help...please!

How about if you put a custom ringtone on for the specific contacts you want, and just make that ringtown a louder MP3?
You can even use the same ringtone as everyone else, but make a new file that has the levels turned up. Take the current ringtown, put it on your computer, raise the volume and resave it as ringtone2.mp3 and then apply that louder version to the specifc contacts.
It's a more circuitous route, but if the easier stuff isn't working it's worth a shot.
