Double ringing with T610? |

I have noticed an interesting pattern with my T610. I have the "old phone" ringtone, and whenever someone calls, it rings once with a different ringtone (a generic ring), then with the one I selected. I noticed this ring also happens before an alarm goes off.
Is there any way to disable this or is it just a 'feature'? |

While playing around with the "increasing ring" feature I noticed it did that... do you have that feature switched on?
settings - sounds and alerts - increasing ring

isn't that SE's thingy to protect you from getting a full blast of polyphonic in your ear ? |

i think SE did that in purpose. the speaker of the ringtone is the same speaker where you hear the other party's conversation.
lets say when you are talking on your mobile, and suddenly someon calls in, if the ringtone is to be loud with no increasing ring, then your ears will be deaf. this is what i experienced when i was using T28. my ear hurts! |

I had the increasing ring switched on but now it's off. I also noticed that even though I have it off it still increases the volume as though it was on. Strange. I can live with it I guess. |

yupz just that when its OFF, the increasing ring will be shorter. maybe approx 5 secs, while the other option ON, it should be approx 10 secs.

I agree with spikee_3D, it was probably made this way... Happens with all other ringtones... Nothing too bad now is it?

But if you are in the middle of a call and someone else calls you you normally just get a subtle beep to inform you of another call - I've never known any phone to do a full blown ringtone if you are in the middle of a call. |

Yeah!, in general if you are speaking and you receive a call the phone beeps, keeping your ears from damage, but imagine you're talking, and then the call finishes (the other speaker may finish the conversation, uh?) and someone calls almost at the same moment. You would hear the ring in the ear!
So... there's a possibility... but I still think it's so low, and the damage is not so big, that it should be optional.
Otherwise, more and more the security laws are getting so strict that they have to do things like these...

Hi,
this "double ring" is it somethign like this, you first hear a sound like a "normal telephone ring" then you hear the poly ringtone with volume rapidly increasing?
If so, then its the same as on the T300 that I have, and its actually a feature.
As pointed out before the phones use the same speaker for ringing as the earpeice, and if the phone was to play the full blast into your ear, your ears WILL be damaged. Suppose you are listening to a voice recording on your phoen and someone calls you at that point.. u have the phone in your ear.. you will get the full blast in your ear, which will also prolly scare the crap out of u! So the phone is designed to first play the telephone ring at a "medium" volume, before playing your poly ringtone in rapidly increasing volume (it increases over 2 seconds, unlike the increasing ring feature which increases it over ten seconds).
WHy it plays the little telephone sound first. well i can only assume its so that you know its the phone about to ring etc, as opposed to a MMS message sound, and secondly if there is a pause in the MIDI file before playback, it will at least tell you the phone is ringing whilst waiting for the music to start.
On the T300 this does NOT happen for the Monophonic (IMY) rintones, since the phone has a separate buzzer away fromt he earpeice, and on the P800 because it has a seperate speaker on the back for ring tones.

The thing is, the initial 'ring ring' is the tone I want!
These polyphonics are all very nice, but why on earth can't then include the equivalent of the T68i's 'low' tone?
Does anybody know how/where I could get such a thing?
TIA. |
