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 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
Hi all, please forgive me if this has been asked before. I could not find any info on it. I am having a problem using custom ringtones on my AT&T SGS2. When I create a ringtone and put it in the media/audio/ringtones folder it shows up in my sound settings fine. When I select a custom made ringtone for my default ringer the phone won't make any sound when someone calls me. Everything else works, I can accept or decline the call, but no sound. The strange part is if I use that same ringtone for an individual contact it will ring fine when that person calls me. It just won't work for a default ringer. Any ideas?
If they're not already created, create two folders on your internal sd card. name one Ringtones and the other Notifications. Then any sound file you drop into them will show up in your lists when you go to change the respective tones.
I have already done that. They show up fine. The problem is that when I select one of the files as the default ringer it won't make any sound. But it rings just fine when set to an individual contact.
Just download ringdroid and make a ringtone from any music files you have on you're phone.....then when your done hit save and set as default. Done!
In your first post you said you put the files in media/audio/ringtones folder. I have heard before that putting them there won't work if you want to use them as tones. The ringtones and notifications folder would have to be in your main directory on the internal (or external) sd card.
I have heard of people dropping sound files into the media folders with no success when they try to use them.
I don't know. maybe I am misunderstanding your problem though.
I was able to get it working with ringdroid, thanks boobie watcher! I just opened the ringtones i already made in ringdroid and then saved them. Works fine now.
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...
So the procedure is:

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?
