I have tried Ringo which works just OK. Photo Contacts Pro works well until it closes itself I guess because of memory.
All I really need is SMS tone to asign to a specific contact and would like a full photo caller ID.
Can I manually set an SMS tone to a contact or do I have to find a program?
Start > Settings > Sounds and Notifications
From the "Event" menu, select "Messaging: New Text Message" and select the tone you want.
that only sets universal text message (or any other function) sounds. I think the original poster wants to set them for specific contacts (like a ringtone).
I am with you on wanting a full screen contact photo with an incoming call. any ideas/programs you have found?

hi guys
I find problem whenever an incoming sms comes. I can't hear any alert or sound which i assigned. when i go to notifications & alerts. Its weird I notice that the "PLAY" checkbox is unchecked automatically for "Messaging New text mail" but perhaps I had checked option to play the alert. I don't know why its happening.
I have installed the following applications in my Today screen.. Phonealarm, claunch & Vitosoundexplorer. I have a doubt is it due to phonealarm settings.. its causing problem. because I saw the settings for phonealarm, where it as option to alert for SMS. and alert assigned is "system" I tried to change that and assigned my own alert. but even then only when sms comes. it only beeps once. is it the phonealarm taking over... kindly suggest what to do.
thanks and regards

Major disaster for me - when sms messages show, no audio alert is being played.
I'm looking at my Sound & Notification settings, and I have:
"Messaging: New text message" set to
Play Sound (checked) - Alarm4
Repeat grayed out (but would love it to repeat - might look at 3rd party)
Display message on screen (checked)
Flash light for no limit
I did the same for: "Messaging: New e-mail messag.." but the rest is cut off. No difference.
Would there be a difference when sending directly to my phone # (#########) vs using email to send to the device (##########@txt.att.net in my case) ??
I jumped too soon, but I mught as well post the solution for future searches:
Photo Contacts PRO was suppressing the audio. Sending to the pager using ##########@txt.att.net was causing the pages to show as "unknown" - the HTC shows it as coming from <today's date as the sender>
Photo Contacts PRO has a SMS audio default, and a "Unknown" default.
The "Unknown" was set to no audio.
Changes it and it works fine.
<Whew!>
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.
Hello,
Is there a way of having a different tone for a new SMS and a different tone for a new Email recieved?
At the moment, all notifications sound the same, so you cannot distiguish between new email, sms etc, without looking at the phone.
Cheers,
Go to the relevant app e.g. gmail and then click menu and then change the notification sound to whatever you want...
You can set the sms sound in the sms settings, not for emails though so I guess emails use the default notification sound.
In Gmail menu > more > select ringtone
and you can change what appears in the list by creating folders for the notifications, then moving the sounds there
Problem with the phone is you can't have different tones for different people which is annoying.
You can have different ringtones for different contacts....
I just upgraded from a G1 to the Nexus One. The thing I noticed from 1.6 to 2.1 is that while under a Contact's info on 1.6 you were able to assign custom ring tone for that contact. On 2.1 that option is not there. Did they move it some where else or how do you assign custom ring tones to your contacts and not just have one default ring tone.
It's still there - but for some reason, not when you edit a contact - just choose a contact from your contact list, and press the options key, and then choose 'Options' - you'll be able to set the ringtone or trigger voicemail for that contact.
