1- Tap on the contact you want to assignt to a group
2- Tap Edit
3- Scroll down to Categories
4- Tap on Categories
5- Select one of the existing categories or if you want to add a new one yourself tap at add/delete tab and enter a new one.

Can you then assign ring tones to groups?
No XDA II hasn't a build-in option to assign ringtones to groups or persons.
However there are third party programs which offer this functionality.
A free one can be downloaded at: http://phonext.oabsoftware.nl

I noticed that everytime I send a sms from my contacts their names are not shown and only their number. Is there anyway the names of contact appear instead of their number?
Thank You.

I'd like to know if this is possible too. Come on u techies, let us mere mortals know if this can be done and if so how? or should that be how much? :wink:
Re: Bump
Search for Paragon Software sms_name.
The program sms_names will only show the names of contact when a sms is recieved. It does'nt help in showing the names of your receipient when sending the message to them. Their numbers are shown instead of there names.....
I have to double check if the number appearing matches to the name of the contact.
you can tab & hold on a contact then select "Send sms" ... this will display only the number ... but in an empty sms if you click the "To" field and type the first 3 letters and then select the name this will display the name as well ... weird but true!!
Thank you for that advice . It did work. One more question. How do you do it if you would like group sending?
Thank you.
unfort. there is no concept of groups in pOutlook ... one good trick would be selecting the required names then copy the "To" part and paste it into a text file for future usage
SMS Group
There is the way to send sms to group. I should
1. buy Pocket Informant
2. create groups
3. check numers belong to certain group
4. hold and click Extras-Send SMS
This procedure will open inbox with checking contacts.

I would like to associate specific ringtones to specific contacts. CAn I do this with my xda exec
Yes you can - using the standard Contacts application.
Just edit the contact and use the drop-down box under "Ring tone" on the Contact details.
thanks, havn t saw it there since i was searching for it in the menu
I just figured out how to set mp3 ringtones for the Sony Xperia... but I'm wondering if there is a way to set a different ringtone for each contact in my phonebook ??
Yes open the contact and scroll to the bottom
I opened up the contact, and it shows their name , call, and send text message only. When choose "edit" to edit the contact, I can only change their name and number. Can you be more specific please ?
When I edit a contact I have 20+ things I can change about that one person. One of those is 'Ring tone'. Might be some of the SPB software adding it but I doubt it....
Ohh, ok thanks! I found it in the SPB panel, but it's not there in the windows mobile contact for some reason..
I think it depends on how you have the contact saved. The option to add a ringtone to a contact might only be available if the contact is saved to the phone, not the sim card.

On my X1, this is how i get to do it.
1) open contacts from start menu.
2) select the contact to edit. You should now see a screen with options like call mobile, call home, etc
3) click onthe name of the contact, and you should now see a screen with a lot of options for that contact.
4) scroll down until you see the option for ring tone. now click in the text space for the ringtone drop down selection box.
Hope this helps. There are also a lot of other useful options to be found on that screen, like setting pictures for contact. birthday reminders, etc.
hi guys
i have a few questions about the HD2
1) can i assign different ringtones to different contact groups
( i did not see it in the group options )
2) i tried to send a file to a friend using bluetooth , in the file options there was a send... option but it didn't specify send with BT , mms , email
and when i tried to send the file it said it was to big ( BT is not supposed to have size transfer limit )
i think thats it for now
thanks in advance
hey for the 2nd one i could help
press and hold the file you want to send and it should come up with a pop-up menu which should have send file vie bluetooth at the top (or something like that)
i recently sent over a 18mb file and it worked fine.

Use SIP Change to make the keyboard permanent.
There's also touch pal but i don't like it. Finger keyboard is pretty good.

Hiya...firstly for the Group Setup:
1. Select "Phone" text link at bottom of main page.
2. Select "All People" text link at bottom of phone.
3. Slide the bottom task bar across to the third icon, the "group" icon.
4. Select the "New" text from the option box to create a Group Name.
5. Select the "Add" button and select all the people you want to assign to group.
6. Select "Done" at bottom of phone.
7. Select "Done" for the second time.
You can repeat this for all the groups you want to set up.
For the ringtones:
1. You can either go to "All People" list...as above.
2. Select the persons namefrom the Group you have set up.
3. Select "Edit Contact" on screen.
4. Scroll down the page...you can now assign a "ringtone" from the option box.
And finally, to transfer your contacts from your SIM:
1. Select "Phone" text link at bottom of main page.
2. Select "All People" text link at bottom of phone.
3. Select the "Menu" text link at bottom right of phone.
4. Select the "Import SIM Contacts" from the pop up menu.
Now have a cold drink and sit back and admire what you have just done!

Seems like you are assigning a ringtone to the contact, not to the group. I can't find a way to do it for a whole group.

this will also help me
Just picked up my Moto G5+ from Costco a couple of days ago. For the most part I like this phone. Biggest benefit is the lack of crapware from the cell carrier.
I however am used to setting a custom ringtone and notification tones from a contacts information page. Meaning go to the contacts app, select a contact, choose the edit (pencil) scroll down till I find ringtone and/or notification tone. Select new tones as wanted/needed.
As such on previous phones when I received a SMS or a MMS either from an individual or sent to a group I could tell who sent the message without looking at my phone.
(This does not appear to be the case on my G5+.)
This was sent to me via the Lenovo/Moto website.
"For SMS, open a conversation > click on options (3 dots) > people and options > now customise notification here.
For calls, open contacts app > click on a contact > click on edit > click on options (3 dots)> set ringtone."
It gets me part of the way there. But the notification tones are for the individual message not the contact.
Any help is appreciated.

Are you sure you followed the above steps correctly? Open contact app, select a contact, press edit, press options, select set ringtone, select whatever ringtone you want. That's it.
If you want to use ringtones apart from those which comes with phone, then put your ringtone file in the folder named "Ringtones" in internal storage. Now you should be able to select them in the list. Hope this helps.
