    Sometimes phones "forget" the SD card temporary...

    Hi Arno,

    While I've never had this happen (to my knowledge), and I don't buy phones
    [...]

    I had this a number of times with a Samsung S3 mini, Sony Xperia Z4,
    Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite with a number of SD cards - mostly SanDisk brand but it
    also happed with others. That's the reason why I don't use this any longer.

    I have my ring tone set to one that sounds like a phone ringing.
    However it seems to revert to the default silly tune rather often, I'm
    not quite sure why. How can I make the ring tone selection more
    permanent?

    What phone exactly?
    Manufacturer? Model name?

    Android 11, Umidigi Bison

    Well - "Umidigi Bison" does not sound like a big brand but seems to be a
    cheap outdoor phone by a mostly unknown manufacturer.

    [...]
    The ring tone it reverts to is the one that is used by default if you
    do nothing. It's stored (along with many others) in the phone's
    internal storage, I haven't added an SD card or anything like that.

    Maybe their firmware quality is just not very good. I nevery experienced
    this except when using cheap SD cards which tend to fail sometimes.

    Sorry, I don't have a solution here except to try doing a factory reset,
    which is obviously not what you want to do just to keep the selected
    ring tone.

    No matter who says something sensibly logical, I won't disagree with it.
    So I agree, an sd card is likely to be less reliable than internal storage.

    If I look at what I put on the sd card, it might not matter.
    But it's a fact nonetheless that the sd card is less reliable.

    Only a fool disagrees with facts; that's why they're fools.
    I'm no fool.

    So I agree with you on this.
