Is there a way to assign ringtones based on category?

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

[APP] [REQUEST] Callers groups ringtones

Hi people, I've an HTC TP2, and I was trying to set a ringtone for a callers group. I've seen there's not this capability...
Is there a software that can do it?
tnx in advance, Giovanni

+1
I need this also, or at least - on my treo 700wx with WM5 and treo pro WM6.1 I had known and unknown caller rings

I use Pocket Informant and it allows you to assign ringtones to groups by filtering your contacts via category, then selecting all contacts and assigning a ringtone to them all.
It's a handful of clicks but I don't do it every day so find it quite useful

Beh, I could try to develop it... Anyone wants to help me is welcome!
Do you know where contacts are stored?

Search for MortRing. I've been using it since my Prophet days...

In TP2, TF3D needs to be disabled to find the icon in home... I didn't understand also where to add categories...
Is there something more update?
tnx

Maybe I found something interesting:

Yes, initially when u set up mort-ring, you have to disable tf3d. categories are defined in your contacts list. If you set "A" as family, "B" as work etc, it'll appear in mortring.
After you set up mortring, you don't have to touch it anymore. It'll run in the background hidden behind tf3d

Unfortunately, it's not free...

you can assign specific rings tones for specific contacts as a built-in feature.. but i am not sure about the call groups

Fortunately, Tone Manager is You can use it to assign a ringtone to all entries belong to a Category.
To set a contact to Category on TP2, you need to edit your traditional Windows Mobile Contacts and not your TF3D interface. The most direct way is by:
Start > All Programs > Contacts
Note you can assign a contact to more than one category.
If you have opened your entry using address book from People tab, you can access Contacts by clicking "More" at the bottom of the entry.
An alternative is to your Contacts in Microsoft Outlook on your computer, then sync it back to the device.

hi
Freeware vipringtone does this job excellently, category, individual contact ringtones etc,. Just a search away from you. if you couldn't locate it, send me msg and I'll post the cab. Been using it since WM5 to WM6.5 works fine.

Ringtones and WM

Is there any way to assign different ring-tones to different contacts? is there a separate program that will allow this?
I have the Htc hd2 tmobile Us ver.

You should be able to go into your contacts and edit and then assign a ringtone to each contact.

thanks i found it, it's just really small.

Individual Ringtones

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..
