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?
Thanks

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.
Product Name: Ringo Mobile WM5 (by Electric Pocket) .
Hello,
In Contacts, it is possible to assign ringtones to individual contacts. It is also possible to put contacts in groups.
How can I assign a ringtone with all the contacts of a group?
I know about MortRing, but it doesn't seem to use the ringtone-field that is shown in the properties for each contact. I would like this field to be altered (given the way I use scripts to change profiles).
Thanks!
Jörg
You can use MortRing which can be found at www.sto-helit.de. You can assign SMS and ringtone-sounds to contacts and contac-groups.
Enjoy this great little program, thanx to Mirko Schenk!
Yes, I know about MortRing, but it doesn't use the field called "Ringtone" that is present for each contact.
I'm using MortScript to provide me with different ringtone profiles, so I need the ringtone to be set in Contacts. I can set every contact individually, but it would be easier if I could just change this ringtone-field on a per-group basis.

Here is exactly what you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309837
Please suggest a simple ringtone and caller id management software where I can assign a ringtone to a group of contacts from my contact list.
I have few groups in my contact list . (Personal, work, vip etc ) I want to have a different ringtone for each group.
“Ringo mobile” was very good at this but this software if blocking the diamond "mute ring" button and its unusable. "Face down" for muting the call is not working also.
What do you use?
Thanks

Hi,
did anybody find a solution for this scenario?
I am highly interested in this one myself. Under no circumstances I want to change ringtones for 50+ contacts! Just once for "colleagues", once for "friends", once for "VIPs" etc.
Cheers!

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
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.
Hi
Is that possible to assign different ringtone to each contact?
There's an option to assign a ringtone inside a contact person page, however when that person calls, the ringtone that rings is not that specific ringtone I assigned to that person, but it's the ringtone that I set in the Sound setting rings instead.
Is there a way to make that works?
thanks

If you use a contact manager like resco contact manager it will work.
