has anyone had any issues with assigning a different ringtone to a specific caller from your people list? i know we can't do custom ringtones yet, but i'm just trying to set up different ringtones to differentiate from callers and everytime i assign one and hit save, it doesn't seem to take affect. whenever they call it rings whatever my default ringtone is.
any suggestions or similar cases?
I haven't had any issues with the ringtone not changing. Does it change and then revert back for you or just never change in the first place? Try rebooting the phone and seeing if you are still having an issue.

assign it to the mobile number or home number not the account.. i.e. go to the account edit the mobile number account or which ever number account you want to change the ring tone and select a ring tone.

Is there a way to assign ringtones based on category with the HTC Wizard (IE: Friends get ring1, family gets ring2, business gets ring3, etc.)? I have found a way to assign the ringtone for each specific contact, but that can be a pain when you have a large number of contacts.
Thanks in advance,
You can do that with Photo Contact Pro!
I don't think it is possible in default WM5
Doesn't mortring do that, free?

How did you do that?
shdwphnx, How did you assign ringtones by contacts?

Edit your contact, and scroll down about 75% of the screen - there is a Ringtone option there. At least there is on my US T-Mobile MDA.
BTW, which field is used in Outlook for Ringtone? Perhaps it would be easier to assign the ringtone on PC and then sync it?

I just found Mortring, and it is unfortunately currently not compatible with WM5.

As far as I have been able to determine, the Ringtone field is not transferred to Outlook on the PC.
Hopefully Mort will update his program, or someone else will release something similar for a reasonable price. (I found a few such as Photo Contacts Pro, but they all have lots of features I don't need, and am not willing to pay for).
There is a nice app that does excactly that, i've tried it out on my k-jam and worked very well, assigning ringtones to groups and even sms tones to groups or individual contacts and still keeping the default sms notification tone!
However (there always are howevers)
Before installing the app, when i would receive an incoming call and just wanted to silence the ringer, not reject the call i'd simply slide the volume button up or down and the ring would stop.
After installing it i could no longer silence a call by the volume button, therefore my only options where to answer it or reject it.
I contacted their support team and was told that it's not possible to silence the ringer as the app's ringer is controlled by the system volume, not the phone volume..
If you're quite happy not having the option to silence the ringer of an incoming call, then i recommend trying this app.

All you need to do is go to your contacts, tap on the contact, click menu, tap edit. Find ring tone on the long list of options,tap where it says ring tone, select one from the pop-up. This same procedure is used for assigning pictures to contacts, also.
Here's a screen shot of the page you need to be on.
I think he is talking about assigning ringtones to "private numbers" and not the ones already in his contacts!
Simple solution

When you get one of the calls, Private Name, Private Number...just add it to your contacts, then set a ringtone for it.
Simple solution.

It may be a complete shot in the dark, but have you tried adding a registry entry for "UnknownCaller"?? e.g.
Code:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/[b]Unknown[/b]CallerRing0/
You might need a soft reset or power off to force that key to be re-read by the phone service (Cprog.exe)....
Give it a try, what's the worst that can happen
Mark.
u could go 3rd party and use something like photo contacts pro

hi,
that's not work on my artemis with wm6
ringtonedownload.in/
I have the song Dil Diyan Gallan ringtone[/URL] for you to reference and install. Here are some other ring tones you have installed: Ringtonedownload.in/
If you're with other droid handset you cold simply go to contact>menu>option but in i9000 i dont see anything like that.
Any advice?
You can assign a ring tone if the contact is a "Phone" type in other mean you made it!.
but if your contact is "SNS contacts" as you got it from the internet accounts like gmail,you can't assign a ring tone beside the normal one.
that's what i realized if I'm not wrong.

I know how you feel, cause as i was searching in my phone i realized that
half my contact synced!.
There is a way to do this, albeit very tedious. For every contact that you want to assign individual ringtone, you need to create a contact with the same name but in phone memory. During the creation, you can assign the ringtone to the phone contact. You just need to create with name and ringtone and nothing else. Your phone will link the 2 contacts together (this and the same-named gmail one), and viola, you have your individual ringtone.
I have tried other ways like ringdroid and ringtone manager and it doesn't work. Though the ringtone gets assigned to the gmail contact when I used these apps, the phone still use the default sound when they call. The above seems to be the only way that works.
Also if you noticed, your contact picture gets very blurred and pixelated (in the phone canvas during calls) when they are synced from gmail. The only way around this problem is also the above, ie assign pic to phone contact and link them.
Yes, you are right.
there's downSide for this like in the e-mail app, when you press the contact to select one, you will see all the contacts twice
Nothing is perfect
Not 100% sure, but guess you can change it without copy all into phone with the app. Zedge. That is a app for change wallpapers and ringtones, not use it for a while but worth look it upp.

Actually you won't. Your phone contact has nothing except the ringtone or pic. So in your email, phone or other apps only the contact with the relevant field populated will be shown
Anybody figure out how to assign individual ringtones to different contact? I don't see an option for it.
I'm stuck on that too
I just found the fix, over on Android Forums. Apparently, you can't assign ringtones to your google contacts. You have to create a duplicate "phone" contact, and then you can assign a ringtone. A bunch of horse $hit, if you ask me, but that's what I'm in the process of doing at this very moment.

I agree. I've also been joining Google contacts to FB contacts to get pictures.
On the other hand, so far I haven't had a single problem that CM6 wouldn't cure! (Or at least a nice AOSP FroYo)
Seems there ought to be a way to have your Google contacts sync directly to the phone, instead of that bizarro "Google contacts" group.
Are you guys sure? I can set it by going to the contact, clicking the menu soft-key and choosing Edit - then Ringtone.
I've also found "Ringo Lite" works just fine to do the same.
I'm sure this is not a phone contact I've done this on.

Yup, sure of it. Just double checked, A contact which has he "g" icon next to it doesn't have the "ringtone" field. On the other hand, the little orange icon (phone) does have it.
I also checked out Ringo Lite and it seems to be the easiest and best alternative for the time being.
assigning ringtones to contacts
I use the app Zedge, which is great for notifications and ringtones... it will allow you to "set" contact tones after you download them..
Looked at every thread in Q&A and didn't see anything addressing this. While I can set a default ringtone, I can't set a specific ringtone for each contact. In the Contact Details screen, there's an Options/Ringtone that you can click, but changing it doesn't do anything. Anyone figure this out or is it just a bug?

I can on mine, I just select the contact, and LOOK AT BOTTOM OF CONTACT INFO, I can assign a SPECIFIC ringtone to that contact ONLY...
if this option is not there by default, EDIT the contact and the option might appear at bottom of contact info...
I have my wifes number set to tone locs "Wild Thing..."
It looks like the problem was that I was syncing contacts from TMobile. For whatever reason you can't modify the ringtone, not sure if this is only a problem with Tmobile syncing or all syncing. You also can't modify ringtones on the TMobile website. So I exported contacts to my SD card, then imported back in. Now it works.
