You havent search a lot, have you? xD
1) Contact > Go to contact you want to change > Scroll down the info > See "Ringtone"
2) Contact > Go to contact you want to change > Menu > Edit > Fill all the things you want.

ummm... why don't you sell your phone and get something far more simple ... like iphone perhaps...
just kidding...

Make sure your not storing contacts to sim card.
Using phone or Google to store will give you more options.

How to set contact photo for myself?

Hi, i'm on slim ics so it's basically cm9 but i guess aokp guys also can answer this.. How do i set contact photo for myself as i'm using inverted mms.apk and its difficult to differentiate myself from the other person at a glance so setting a contact photo for myself would make things really easy.. Help is appreciated
You need to create a profile for yourself in people, there should be an option at the top of the list if you haven't done it already.

Moving from blackberry to sgs3.... need help.....

Hi all.... i have just moved from blackberry to the samsung glaxy s3....
I have a few questions regarding the contacts and the phone dialer....
1- is it somehow possible to customise the contacts view so that i can see the company name under the na.e of the contact without actually opening the contact..... this was a default thing on my blackberry n was extremely useful... i want the same to happen on android also.
2- in the phone application also i want to see the company name of the contact under the contact name.
3- i also want to see the company name in the call screen (incoming calls and outgoing calls)......
I have looked for an answer to this in these forums, google n lots of other places. I even rooted my phone to edit the contacts and the phone app, but since i have negligie knowledge of programming, was unsuccessful in that too....
Developers, can u please help me in this.....

try full screen caller id (search for it in android market), i believe that shows all details when you have an incoming call.
click thanks if i helped
Thanks alot buddy.... i have looked in the market... yes there are certain apps.... but they are limited in such a way that they will display the company name only on the actual call screen, not when i am trying to find a contact... but i will look again if u say...

[Q] Google Voice Access Number

Have a new Sammy Galaxy S3 and want to change the voice mail access number to get my GV messages instead of T-mo VM. Long press 1 takes me to the std T-mo VM.
Can't figure out how to change this number on the handset!
I have several other Android phones (Nexus 1, MT3G, G1) where I was able to change this number.
Any help? Sorry in advance if posted in wrong place and/or if this was answered already, but didn't find anything posted using search.
Thanks!
Open dialer and goto call settings and the voice mail options is in there

Thanks but, no dice. I don't (can't) get a window to display like yours! The "Use Call Fail Options" check box isn't available.
T-Mo problem? What's so weird is that I've changed this setting before on other Android phones running on T-Mo.
Really appreciate your help! If you can think of anything else, please let me know!

whatsapp with 2 numbers ?

Hello
Is it possible to add 2 numbers in whatsapp within same device ?
it is possible in iphone , what about android ?!
It's not possible. WhatsApp only works with the current phone number. It's clearly mentioned in the WhatsApp FAQ that it only works with one number on one device. So how can it work with two numbers on the iPhone? I'm afraid your information is wrong.
http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/general/21009863
If you really want to use WhatsApp with both your numbers, download BlueStacks app player to your computer, install WhatsApp in it, and assign your secondary phone number to it. So this way you can have WhatsApp on your phone assigned to the primary number, and on the computer with the secondary number. BlueStacks is an Android app emulator.

thanks for the replay
actually you can do it by iPhone jailbroken of course so that i wonder if any body try it on android which is easier & open system than IOS

I'm afraid YOU are all wrong. It is fully possible on an iPhone even on the iPhone 5.
With a jailbroken phone you just take the original .ipa file and change the bundle identifier name to Whatapp2 in the info.plist file.
It works properly and notifications are pushed according to which ever whatsapp application is assigned to what number.
I would also like to have this feature since i have dual sim. One for work and one for personal contacts.
NO.

I would love to have access to the info you're asking to get PMd about. I mean, if we all got this greedy and gave solutions though PM this forum would be kinda useless.
So in iPhone it works if you change the bundle name, so I assume it also works if you change the app name or something in the AndroidManifest.xml file?
PM is a boon service given by xda
Which op and others can use properly at proper time
THIS NO MORE THREADS WILL GET SPAMMED AND ALSO IT WILL BE EASY FOR THE VIEWERS TO DIRECTLY GET ON POINT.

yes it is possible. you need to install titanium backup and make 2 profiles in titanium backup. Then go to backups/.... and search whatsapp. there is a option use multiple profiles. select that and you can use 1 number a profile
^ thanks, that worked!!! Can u tell me where data is saved for both diff profile, how to backup both data and restore later....
Thanks again man !!!!!
So here's a big question: is it possible to use WhatsApp on 2 phones - 1 iPhone, 1 Android? I understand about Titanium Backup, but that would make it work for 2 Android devices, right?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hrmm...this didn't work for me. i changed the identifier name on the plist to whatsapp2, rebooted teh device, and now whatsapp won't even load, let alone allow me to install a 2nd version. where'd i go wrong?
i modified the file on my phone via ifile in the app directory
There is an App to handle multiple numbers for whatsapp. Check it out on another thread in XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346022
Pinger!
Use pinger.com/tfw to activate your other device's WhatsApp. Worked fine for me.

You didn't load it properly.
Grab a copy of whatsapp from your itunes local file location.
Copy and paste it to your desktop.
Change the plist identifier name to whatsapp2 and save it accordingly with the ifile manager.
Then drag the plist file back into that copy of whatsapp you made on your desktop.
Use ifunbox to install the app from the desktop that you have just edited.
Now whatsapp will not reboot as it will use the same signature you used to download the app. It is closing cause you are trying to load a cracked version.
Titanium back up pro is working well for 2 whats app account in multiuser profile.

I do not see the option for manage attachments. It just asks for an URL when I click add photo.

Not sure what to tell you...I have accurately described where it's located and what to do in as simple of a way as I know how. The Manage Attachments option is on the Reply page like half way down., just under the Post Icons section you will see under the Reply box.
