I have an HTC EVO Shift running Android 2.2 (Froyo). When I receive an incoming call the ringtone plays constantly. Each cycle starts immediately after the previous cycle finishes with no delay at all. This happens regardless of which ringtone I select. Short of editing the audio files, is there any way to set the delay between subsequent ringtone cycles?

Are you using a really short ringtone? Maybe use something longer (like a song)?– Bryan Denny ♦Feb 1, 2011 at 15:04

@Bryan Denny: That's the obvious workaround, but I'm looking for a solution. I'm using the stock ringtones which are fairly short -- most are a second or less. Every other phone I've ever owned had a delay of a couple seconds between cycles. This one plays a continuous loop with is very annoying. There should be a setting (probably hidden) to control this. If it were a Windows Mobile phone I'd look in the registry, but I don't know where to look under Android.– Michael CarmanFeb 1, 2011 at 16:05

My guess is that you'd have to take one of those ringtones and add silence to the end of it. I don't think there is a way to add delay– Bryan Denny ♦Feb 1, 2011 at 16:15

Bryan above is correct. There's no way to add a delay, at least not without a custom ROM. To introduce a pause between the rings find an MP3 you like and use something like Audacity to append a few seconds of silence after it. Then use that file as your ring tone.
