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.
Hi every body,
I installed Go sms pro, i'm trying to move sms from or to a folder in the folder view but it doesn't work. Also there is no option that allows me to move to next sms while sms is open; i have to close it and go to the next sms then open it.
Thanks for your help
I've been trying to find a way to move a message to a folder as well. It seems they don't have that feature, must just be to filter new messages.
After further digging it appears the feature was there, then it "disappeared" in an update and has never been 'fixed'.
Hey guys!
I'm facing a problem while updating/changing contact info.
For example let's say I'm having a contact called "Joe Baptist".
If I choose to edit this contact and change his first name to "Joey" he should be listed as Joey under contacts, but it sticks as Joe, also in other programms like WhatsApp and SMS-program he will be shown as Joe, but if I select the contact and choose to edit it again the first name is showns as "Joey", but it won't update it.
Any ideas?
Try changing the nickname field.
Nope, I didn't put anything in the nickname field...
It seems that whatsapp is the culprit, it won't update the sns-contacs o.o
So the procedure is:
Contact

And you should be able to assign individual ringtones.
But instead the link (if it is even there) is not there/under the "Scan Business Card" button.
You can't assign a ringtone to a contact phone or messaging.

A third party app like ZEDGE will still allow you to do this. And you can remove ZEDGE after and the ringtone will stay in place. But if you try and edit it with the Samsung / Contact edit interface - the same problem as described at the start of the post still exists.
Anyone?

I've applied mp3 ringtones that are stored on my sdcard, same ringtones I've been using for years, to all my contacts using the above method.

I have the option on my T-Mobile branded Note 8 when following this procedure, although it is actually 3 lines ABOVE the Scan Business Card button.
Wonder if it is caused by using Outlook for Contacts from an O365 account?
