Something is odd there. You are the first I've ever heard of ringtone
settings not being permanent. Have you done some kind of modification
to the OS or the phone app on your phone?
 

No, it's very close to standard 'as installed' Android 11. It's an
Umidigi Bison which has a very unmodified Android 11 installation.
I have very few added apps, maybe four or five only.

When I say 'turned off' I mean powered down completely, not just 'off'
with no display.  It also powers down itself occasionally when I
forget to keep it charged (I just don't use it very much).

I'll have to check that it really is the power down that causes the
ringtone to revert to default but it certainly feels like it.
Whatever, **something** is making it lose my ringtone setting.
