Hi all,
I've got a Hero on Orange which came with the latest ROM and other than installing some apps from the market I haven't fiddled with it.
So then, I want to assign a different ringtone to certain contacts so that I know whether to run to answer it or not. I've tried it through the contact card and through Ringdroid and it doesn't seem to take. I'm using one of the builtin ringtones rather than one I've made through Ringdroid and it doesn't work.
Any ideas??
Thanks

I've recently moved from Diamond to Hero and now trying to set custom ringtones to each contact (still using VoiceRing program that scans your MSOutlook contacts and creates Mp3 or WAV files with spelling of contact names).
I've created /Media/audio/ringtones folder on my SD card, put all sounds there, spent 1 hour manually editing contacts information to set individual ringtones (all new ringtone files were available and I could assign it to the contact) and as a result I have always default ringtone
UPDATE: somehow it works for some contacts, for doesn't (still have default ringtone)
Any suggestions?
same problem here too. Custom contact ringtone does NOT work. Always the default ringtone rings.
Have you found any solution yet?

Hello,
I'm new to the forum and had the same problem with my Telus HTC Hero. I joined the forum just to share my solution.
1. Using another phone create the contact and number of that phone.
2. Assign your ringtone to this contact and call the Hero.
3. When the Hero rings notice the format of the phone number calling.
4. Edit that contact to match the format that was on the Hero screen.
My contacts ringtone didn't work because the Hero's format was XXX2123434 and I had (XXX) 212-3434 in my contacts mobile number.
I changed all to match the Hero and now ringtones work as they should. I hope this helps you and all with the same problem.
Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to give specific ringtones to your contacts? I couldn't find it in the edit portion of contacts.
Thanks.
the contact has to be stored on the phone in order to set an individual ringtone. an easy workaround is to create another contact with the same name and save it to the phone then link the two.
Thanks. Somewhat annoying and a little more work, but it worked
Just dl ringdroid from the market its a free app.. It will let you make and edit ring tones on the phone the you can assign to contcts... worked flawless for me ..
I'm still waiting for integrated contact/ringtone saving directly to gmail, so I don't have to always retype, or reconnect my ringtones to everyone in my contact list.
I saved one of the contacts to the phone so i could put a rintone on the person but now it displays the person twice 1 for sim and 1 for phone. is there anyway to merge them together so it only shows the name once?
^ you can hide contacts from the contacts app, go to menu and display options and have it only show your google contacts, and not from the phone.
ringo lite free from android market
htown978 I love you! been trying to do this since thanksgiving!!!
THANK YOU!!
On the jl4 release, not sure about any after or before that, 2.2 touchwiz contacts allows you to save custom ringtones for contacts without saving a separate contact.
and yes, that was annoying as hell on 2.1 having to save another contact just to have a custom ringtone.
Hello. I've updated my OS to Gingerbread and after 2-3 days, my ringtones doesn't play for known contact. If a unknown number is calling, the ringtone play, but if i have the number in my contact list, the ringtone doesn't play. I've performed a hard reset, but after two days, the same. I didn't install any applications because i've wanted to know if a application cause this issue. I;ve tried with custom ringtones and the default ringtones, but useless. Does anyone knows what to do? Or anyone encounter this issue and resolve it? Thank you.
Hi everybody,
I just bought my first smartphone (Droid X2) yesterday and I seem to be encountering some issues regarding two apps and their notification sounds. The Facebook App for Android installs a notification sound file called facebook_ringtone_pop.m4a but it does not play any sound when I click on the actual file through the phone, nor if I select "Facebook Pop" within the menus. I plugged my phone into the computer and played the file there and I was able to hear the sound.
I have the same problem with the IMO instant messenger notification where there is not an actual file installed, yet nothing is played when I receive an incoming message.
For either apps, if I choose one of the pre-installed ringtones, they work. I have already tried factory resetting the phone (twice), replacing the file, nothing works.
Wondering if anybody knows how to fix this. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
OK, I have searched high and low for anyone having this issue, and have found a few posts that are similar to the problem I am experiencing but not quite the answer I am looking for.
I am a happy Galaxy Note owner, who did the upgrade to ICS through my carrier, which is Rogers, up here in Canada. I am having issues with my ringtones. It appears I cannot switch my ringtone for individual contacts, after installing the update. I am able to choose my ringtone in the contact menu with no problem, but for some reason, it reverts back to the main/default ringtone I have chosen as a general ringer. I am able to change out the ringtone for the phone itself, with either the preinstalled tones, or tones that I have installed manually, I just can't get them to work for individual contacts. Everything was working fine while I was on GB, but no dice on ICS. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried changing the tones to different folders and such, and the ringtones I want are showing up in the ringtone menu but will not take effect, even after a reboot. Any suggestins would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Shad.
stock Contact app?
A friend of mine had the same problem and we found they were using an alternative Contacts app that didn't work. Are you using the stock contact app to assign the ringtones?

Yes, I'm using the stock contacts app. I've tried everything, but I may have sorted it out. It looks like there is something wrong when u do it by the contact menu. I seem to have one working now, but haven't had any phone calls since. I had to manually add it to the media>audio> notifications folder. I hope it works, I should know tomorrow!
