Is there a way to asign ringtones by groups? Like I have my coworkers assigned in gmail (web) contacts, I can view by groups, but I really can't see a way to asign one ring for all of them, I have tried many of the 3party apps, but still no luck..
Anyone have any insight?
I know I am possibly overlooking this, but with my iPhone I was able to assign a ringtone to a specific contact. Is there anyway I can get that setup on the Galaxy S?
I must confess I didn't try before and it took me some time to find it ( not so much time actually but I am surprised to have less possibility than the iphone)
On the iphone you had easily the possibility to set one ringtone by person ( it was not that easy to get a ringtone )
In the samsung you can set a ringtone by group.
So you could create a group per person to get one ringtone per person
On my side I will just put my wife in a group and set the ringtone from Jaws movie
Ok, that is kind of complicated ;-)
another question to ringtones... Maybe I just didn't find it. But how can I set a mp3 as a ringtone. If I try to select a ringtone it only shows me the shipped ones. Or do I have to copy the mp3 to the folder where the shipped ones are stored (and that would be?)?
Thanks, Kai
This is indeed complicated
For the first question, SGS allows setting ringtone to both contacts and groups. However, they will only work with ringtones created in the phone. They will not work with ringtones synced over from Google or outlook. In order to assign ringtones to these contacts, you need to
1. Create a contact in your phone and assign the ringtone
2. Link the contact to your synced contact
For assigning MP3 as ringtones, you can try ringdroid. Alternative is to copy to /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones.

I have assigned MP3 ringtones individually just by doing a long hold on the contact, choosing Edit, and then touching Ring tone, and choosing sound. I can then choose my MP3 that is stored anywhere on the phone, even on the external SD.
For individual SMS tones, I use SMSPopUp, very customisable.
I have been trying to assign ringtones to a particular contact but cannot achieve this. I know there is an options under Contact - menu - Edit, but nothing. I get some strange message that ' I cannot edit SNS...'. I'm thinking this have something to do with facebook, as my contacts are synced with facebook. Does this have an effect on having to assign different ringtones to contacts?
I have also a problem with individual ringtones each contact.
If I use the standard app in SGS, i am able to set a ind. ringtone for a contact. But I want to use a app like touchdown or roadsync for do my mail stuff. And I dont like to have contacts in more than one place so I habe all my contact in my outlook. I set the sgs that only the contacts in my business mail client are shown and I cant set a individual ringtone. Is ther no possibility for do that without copying contacts to the phone? No app? Cant belive that this is not? On handcent sms I can set ringtones per contact, no matter where its saved.
Thanks for replying!
To be able to assign a ringtone to a contact, it has to be stored in the phone. It doesn't work for contacts synced from Facebook or Gmail. Just create a duplicate contact on your phone, assign a ringtone to it and link them together.

Really no alternative?
I dont want to see the contacts twice in the phonebook.
You can link them together so you'll only see one.

Ok thanks
Now I have to find out how i can copy s contact to the phone
Hi there
I'm running touchdown 2.0 on my sgs and there is a function to copy all contacts from touchdown account to the phone book on the phone. I did that, touchdown is processing all contacts, but if i go contacts an put the settings to see only the contact located in the phone, I dont see any contact. Are they not copied or is my phonebook corrupt? How can I find out where contacts are located, which folder in the system, i.e. with root explorer?
Thanks in advance for helping
Hi,
I really need help. im using the latest version of itunes and HTC sync. i was syncing my music then i realise there is something wrong. using HTC sync, i chose the sync all itunes music and playlists option, then i realise there was lots of redundant playlists. then i wanted to sync all my songs and just 1 playlist but there is no option to do that. so i place all my songs into a playlist and tried to sync the 'all-songs' playlist and the other playlist i want. after syncing, the playlist i want turned out to be empty.
i then searched online for an alternative and found itunes agent. it only syncs songs and not playlists. so anyone have a way to get a playlist? creating one with the m3u file extention doesn't work too.
i know this may be confusing so please ask =)
thanks a bunch
Under settings when I click Accounts and sync I am prompted with all the accounts I can sync. Facebook, Tmobile, Picasa, GOOGLE etc. Under the google one one of the sync options is MUSIC. In addition to contacts, calendar, etc etc. What is this music sync for? What app?
I had the same option until I uninstalled the honeycomb music player. I never tried to use it.
My research suggest, that this will be part of google's ability to stream music from the cloud. part of the stream media project/google music
I have all my music stored locally in an album folder with an album cover jpg, is there any way to stop WhatsApp including these from the gallery? I have thousands of album covers clogging up the WhatsApp gallery which can be quite tedious scrolling through to find media from contacts.
