Ringtone cuts in?

No, this isn't a question about the length or file size of a ringtone. My problem is that I have a short (less than 7 seconds) mp3 ringtone and it doesn't play correctly- it cuts IN. The phone plays the tone correctly when I select it (playing it in the music player), but when the phone actually RINGS, it cuts off the first second or two- which for a 7 second clip, really makes a difference.

The mp3 file is the 24 CTU ring. So when my phone rings, instead of sounding like "blip, blip, ring, ring", it's like "blip, ring, ring" if that makes ANY sense, lol.

Anyone know of a way to fix this?

Yeah, it's not a fade in issue, because the ring repeats 3-4 times (as it's short) for each call and every time the file plays it does this, not just the first time. So unless the phone fades in and out for each ring, it has to be another problem.

I went ahead and added a 1 second silence at the beginning as you suggested. This works, but it's only a band-aid fix to an annoying problem. I don't want to have to modify every single ringtone like that in order to hear the whole ringtone- that's just retarded.

Spartacus did you attempt to modify any of the volume settings in the service menu? Most likely you havent.

So every ringtone you attempt to use does this?
