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?

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.
Sorry if this has been asked before but how do I set an Mp3 as my email notification or ringtone? Its driving me mad!!!
Also does anybody know where I can get the "you have email" notification sound that is from the AOL webmail login (UK with female voice)
Thanks in advance

Use the app "Tone Picker - MP3 Ringtones" from market (free), then go and set ringtone for notification noise, and choose the MP3 using Tone Picker
No idea about the other bit.
Thanks mate but this app still doesn't allow me to choose a dedicated tone for email.
Surely its a bloody basic feature to be able to select ringtones,alerts from my files.....I could do it on a basic Nokia years ago!

On the root of your SD create a folder called "media". Inside that, create "audio". Inside that put folders called "alarms", "notifications" and "ringtones" . then put your mp3s in your relevent folders,... then you should be able to find them when trying to select them.

The easiest way is probably to use a file manager. For example, if you have Astro installed, just long-press the mp3 file and select Music Options > Set as Ringtone.
Alternatively you can make one folder: Media>Audio>Alarms>Notifications>Ringtones
Put all your mp3 files here and you can assign them as alarms, sms tones or ringtones.

Which mail app are you using? I am on Froyd 1.1.1 right now, which uses vanilla mail. When I open settings, I can pick my ringtone for the Email notification.So then I install tonepicker, and when I open this menu, I am asked what I want to choose tone with. I choose tonepicker, and then it lets me pick an MP3 or whatever I want
If you tell us what type of email account it is, we can see what you need to do...
It really irks me that I can't change a contact's assigned ringtone from the Vibrant contacts app. I have to go to Ringdroid every time and I have to create a new ringtone every time.
Is there any way I can get stock contacts on my Vibrant? or at least some hack that allows me to change the ringtone from the default contacts app? I'm coming from an iPhone, so this is kind of annoying.
You can do this, but it has to be a phone contact, not a gmail contact. Then you can link the phone contact to the gmail contact.
I think this whole setup is dumb in Samsung's part. I miss being to assign a ringtone to a contact like I did on my G1.

Hi,
Eugene managed to port the AOSP/stock contacts & phone apps to the vibrant in his "Hybrid" series of roms, and he's hoping to release a new update tonight, so you might want to check it out when he does.
Otherwise, yep, no way to assign a custom ringtone to a contact stored on google from the vibrant's default contacts application, javacody's suggestion is the only way to do this.
This is one of my top 3, most boneheaded, backwards modifications samsung made to android. The other two would be creating all new Calendar events by default on the phone locally instead of your google calendar, and making sms/mms delivery/red reports post a notification, instead of an in-line icon like the AOSP sms/mms app.
Sigh, so much for not fixing something that isn't broken.
Cheers, =)
Wow, yeah, that's really annoying. At least I can get it to work... Still... that's really stupid >_>

It's kind of a pain but what I did was....
Menu > Display Options > Google (or whatever contacts you WANT....)
then once you see the contacts you want...
Menu > More > Import/Export > Export to SD Card...
then once it's done exporting your contacts....
Menu > Display Options > Phone (so that it will only show contacts ACTUALLY on the device)
then once it's blank (or showing any contacts you have on your phone itself)
Menu > More > Import/Export > Import from SD Card...
This will import all the contacts that you exported earlier....
now when you go into contacts you can either leave it on Phone or put it back to "Google" for the Display options... it should auto-merge them and make it the same contact being that all theinformation is the same... so if you make frequent changes it will probably be better to filter it to "Google"....
anyway, when you are done doing all this, go into a contact that you wish to edit and when you open the contact you should now see a "Phone" tab on top....click that and then Ringtone option is near the bottom...
hope this helps, i know it's a pain but it's the easiest way i found to do it

I'd like to have a different ringtone for callers not in my contact list. On my old Samsung phone there was a hack to do this by setting up a group that all my contact were in, and giving that group it's own ringtown. I don't see a way to do that using the "labels" on the dialer on the Pixel 6. Any suggestions? Is there a third party app that can handle this? An alternate dialer?
