Default Nokia tune - is there no way of turning this off?

Hi all,

 

Is there really no way to stop getting the default Nokia tune now and then? It is so annoying, there MUST be a fix for this. Any ideas?

No fix - just gotta wait till the next firmware.

 

Some have said flashing or freeing up memory and resources on the phone helps.... 

I love my purple screen, 1/2 day battery, sketchy touch screen and $800 price tag - I call it my Lumia 900

I have about 20 mb free on C: so it should be enough.

 

Strange that at a high end phone cant have a subtle fix for this.

I don't have this issue with the N97 but I did with the N96.  To solve it on the N96 I had to store my current tone on the phones memory not the mass memory.

 

Does doing that work on the N97?

 

The tone I use on the N97 is stored in the mass memory and is a 128kbps MP3 files that 45 seconds long.  Not had any issues at all using that or other files that i've cut down to use.

Very weird!  Seen quite a few with this issue and have been wondering why some get it and some don't.

 

Good luck sorting it, hope someone finds a solution for you.

The REAL solution is to set the Nokia Tune as your default ring tone!!! lol

 

Seriously though, I think everyone has tried everything with no luck.  Guess it is just one of those things.  I seemed to have it more when I actually had AccuWeather, Facebook and some other widgets on my home screen.  Now I just have shortcuts to apps and email - and I have not heard the Nokia Tune for a long while.

That makes sense, I don't use those widgets either, never have done.

 

I just use the ones I need, favourite contacts, calendar, shortcuts x2 and email.

Yes freeing up resources and selecting small ringtone files will make it less likely that the default ringtone will be played.

640K Should be enough for everybody

Since updating to v20, Format Mass Menu etc. I know have 56mb free on C:

Everything on E: Mass - text messages, the lot

 

Now I dont have the Nokia tune bug.

 

Slide to answer Lock up bug is still there though - Would prefer to keep nokia tune and lose the hang up bug.

 

This phone is still rubbish - to be fair.

 

I can do facebook, email, etc. Just have a problem making receiving calls. Might aswell ditch the phone and carry my laptop about
