My phone is brand spanking new and probably considered to be a flagship device, but the vibrate is pitifully weak where I often don't notice my phone going off while wearing it in my own damn pocket.
In general though, I've always had my ringer on while at home in case I set my phone down and need to know someone called. In public I leave it off generally.
I have my phone in my pocket and still miss it vibrating lol. Either I am terrible at noticing or the vibration just isn't strong enough while in a moving truck or operating a drill.
At some point the the Eccleston/Tennent run I had just the sound of the TARDIS landing as my ringtone. When it would go off in a crowd it was a great was to spot my fellow geeks.
Funny to see how everyone here tries to have music and stuff that's fun and is pleasant to those around them then you have me who has plus boy to encourage me to respond before my ring tone gets to the horny bit
That's hilarious, I have that too, nice taste. Like the Steel Samurai theme or the ringtone version from Phoenix's phone? ace attorney has such excellent music
My current one is Corridors of Time from Chrono Trigger.
I know someone who has Phoenix Wright's ringtone as their own ringtone, and hearing it go off for the first time felt like a shock, being a huge Ace Attorney fan lmao
Anything I use as a ringtone will cause me to hate it, so I use the Homing grenade sound from Borderlands 2. Looking back on that decision, there are more useful sounds to be instinctually aware of, but boy do I bolt awake when a random bandit has a homing grenade.
My notification sounds are the skill level up sound from Borderlands 2 and the Void Reaver denonation sound from Risk of Rain 2 for important things. I've also used the notification sound and train whistle from Rollercoaster Tycoon.
If I were to change my ringtone today, I'd probably go with Run! from Deep Rock Galactic, or one of the battle themes from FTL. Maybe the baseline from a Death by Glamour cover, but I'd fear I'd come to hate that sound, so maybe not.
Good choice. I really enjoyed both top gun movies. I actually went to see top gun maverick twice because the first time was fantastic and i just had to see it again. I wasnt dissappointed either.
One of the Samsung default ones. It's apparently called "Space Bell". My phone is basically always on vibrate though, so it really doesn't matter much.
I used to have cheerful tunes for ring tones but then all my old relatives died in a row like flies and "I don't feel like dancing" felt really out of place. Beth Ditto has stuck with me since then.
I have to change mine semi-regularly because after a year or so I'll start thinking i hear my phone ring while it isn't. Currently it's the Nokia 3310 Badinerie ringtone
I have a ringer that starts at a highish frequency and then with each ring drops lower. I find the changing frequency helps me pick it out from background noise.
Before I switched from conventional communication, my ringtone for the longest time was the unsuspecting sound of a baby crying, which once served as an April Fool's joke but also something that predated and went longer than that. Now that conventional phones have tried to make it more and more difficult to actually get a custom ringtone, I don't know what the future holds but know the change I made gives me my best chances of having a ringtone tradition.
Right now it is a .mid file of A-ha's Take On Me. I plan to change it up soon though. I always use .mid files because they sound classic. The soundfonts, the lack of sustain, everything.
I know it's goofy, but it's some sort of chip tune song that played in the background of an app patcher program that I used forever ago to install some pirated game or app or something.
I have no idea what the song is called and it doesn't seem to exist on the Internet. It's just on my phone as an .MP3 file (and on my computer within a sketchy program called patch.exe). Dunno why I drifted to it.
My text notification tone is the notification sound from RollerCoaster Tycoon 1/2 (ex: "3 peeps have drowned" popup). It works well.
I clip portions of music that I make in GarageBand on my phone for my ringtones. Right now it’s a song called Cave In. That or a monophonic version of Grande Valse.
Hearthstone theme song. Hasn't changed in like 7 years. Maybe some day, but I'm conditioned to it now. Id probably never answer it if it made a different ring. Not that I ever answer it now.
My notifications jingle (for the rare occasions I turn on notifications) is the Superintendent's turn-on sound from Halo 3: ODST. (The first two seconds here.) My ringtone is some weeb shit.
My general ringtone is a section from Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme. For family and friends I use Leo Kottke's guitar version of Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.
I like the kind of ringtones that the people who know it know it and to everyone else it's just a nice ringtone. I've had an elevator version of the Mass Effect theme, and also the intro song from Monsters Inc .
