I want to see if anyone else has seen this problem.

I use a lot of custom ringtones. Every so often Address book on my iPhone will clear itself when it syncs with the MobileMe servers. This is not a big deal as it simply re-syncs and comes back within about 30 seconds. What drives me insane is that every time it does this it loses all of my custom ringtone settings and I have to manually reset them all.

Has anyone else encountered this and has anyone found a way to stop it?

not by syncing with mobile me, but it did happen recently to me. I thought maybe because of 2.2 update. I haven't reset the custom rings so I don't know if it is an on going issue, but from what you say maybe it is...

According to the mobileme support on the apple website, mobileMe does not support syncing ringtones. So if you have custom ringtones, they will be reset. This, along with the fact that you can't sync subscription calendars, lowers the functionality of the iPone. They really screwed up with mobile me.

I haven't had that happen yet even though I sync with Mobile Me. I use custom ringtones sparingly.
