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.
search for vippimringtone

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.

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 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

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

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

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.
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
I tried a couple of apps and I cant seem to assing custom ringtones to a contact, i know this can be done in android but why we can do it on our tabs??? Not that i have tons of people calling me but more like texts lol
You have to copy contacts to "phone"
You also need "ring extended" after you add contact to phone the personal ring tone option will show
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.
