Finished setting up my new V10 and I just noticed that all contacts have a main ringtone 'af_failure' which is barely audible. Worse is that I cannot edit the ringtone in each contact for some reason. Contacts are from Google and Exchange, ,and both are affected. Only work around I found is turning on Ringtone ID which selects a different ringtone that I cannot find how to change. The default ringtone in Settings> Sounds is VZW Airwaves (for now at least). Thanks
PS It's my first LG so...
My first LG also. I have no issue editing my contacts ring tone.
Fixed it. I simply had to go in the sounds choose a new ring tone, then select the one I wanted. All contacts now have the default. Kinda weird but as long as it works now

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 there, first of all im a noob and ive been only using this phone for a week or so. I am wondering, is there a function to set a message alert (SMS ringtone) specifically to certain contacts? Its frustrating to use global message alert for all the contacts. It would be nice if I can know who is messaging me by assigning them a specific ringtone. Please advice
anyone care to help?
Look for
oldSAP Oist v1.4 individual SMS Tones
thanks bro.. One more question.. When choosing a tone, how do I access the folder that has default msg tones?
Update: This software only plays wav files
I have the Motorola Photon 4G, and the one thing I miss about my LG Rumor 2 (Yes, very old) is the ability to set a custom vibration for SMS, MMS, Calls, Email, and other various things. I also miss being able to give contacts certain ringtones. Like for my GF it would play a melody and when my Mom or Dad called it would play a siren. Is there app or mod that can do this for me? I would still like to use the stock dialer and contact manager though.
Any help?
You should be able to set a ringtone for each contact in the Contacts manager. That will apply for the calls from each person.
This app will allow you to set a tone for incoming text messages and the "Plus" version of that app will work for text and MMS.

For ringtones, make a new file in your sd card called ringtones, put the ringtones inside and set it from your settings>sound
For vibrations, I'm not sure.
This will only work for ringtones, not message tones, Unfortunately.
Are there any other apps out there people would like to recommend?
,ake a folder in sd card with the name ringtones and put all ur custom rings in there .den u can hav em and about vibration i guess there is no such way....there are sum apps available which just sets the vibration times...
All,
I have a unique ringtone for some of my contacts, in this case my wife.
I installed whatsapp and really like it EXCEPT that I cannot figure out how to get a text type notification...instead, I get her ringtone whenever she texts me using whatsapp.
This is or should be an easy fix, but I cannot figure it out. When in the app and I call up the menu - contact, I see her normal contact, with her information, including ringtone. So if I change it, then her ringtone will change when she calls me...
is there a workaround so that I have a unique ringtone for phone calls and texts using whatsapp?
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!
