MP3 Ringtone for each contact?

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.

a few questions

hi guys
i have a few questions about the HD2
1) can i assign different ringtones to different contact groups
( i did not see it in the group options )
2) i tried to send a file to a friend using bluetooth , in the file options there was a send... option but it didn't specify send with BT , mms , email
and when i tried to send the file it said it was to big ( BT is not supposed to have size transfer limit )
i think thats it for now
thanks in advance

hey for the 2nd one i could help
press and hold the file you want to send and it should come up with a pop-up menu which should have send file vie bluetooth at the top (or something like that)
i recently sent over a 18mb file and it worked fine.

Use SIP Change to make the keyboard permanent.
There's also touch pal but i don't like it. Finger keyboard is pretty good.

Hiya...firstly for the Group Setup:
1. Select "Phone" text link at bottom of main page.
2. Select "All People" text link at bottom of phone.
3. Slide the bottom task bar across to the third icon, the "group" icon.
4. Select the "New" text from the option box to create a Group Name.
5. Select the "Add" button and select all the people you want to assign to group.
6. Select "Done" at bottom of phone.
7. Select "Done" for the second time.
You can repeat this for all the groups you want to set up.
For the ringtones:
1. You can either go to "All People" list...as above.
2. Select the persons namefrom the Group you have set up.
3. Select "Edit Contact" on screen.
4. Scroll down the page...you can now assign a "ringtone" from the option box.
And finally, to transfer your contacts from your SIM:
1. Select "Phone" text link at bottom of main page.
2. Select "All People" text link at bottom of phone.
3. Select the "Menu" text link at bottom right of phone.
4. Select the "Import SIM Contacts" from the pop up menu.
Now have a cold drink and sit back and admire what you have just done!

Seems like you are assigning a ringtone to the contact, not to the group. I can't find a way to do it for a whole group.

Hey... I think what you need is... a direct dial/ direct message for a contact
So here's how you do it
1. Longpress on the home screen
2. Select Shortcuts
3. Select Direct Dial or Direct Message - depending on what you want to do
4. Select the contact
and voila - you're done
What I have is a folder on my homescreen with direct dials of all the contacts I call frequently.. its very useful

Contact ringtone not working after rooting

Hi,
The custom contact ringtone is not working after rooting using CFroot. How can I solve the issue?
CF Root version XW_clk_KF3 v4-CWM4
(Sorry, wanted to post in q&a, posted here by mistake. How do I move it?)
Thanks & regards,

Rooting has nothing to do with ringtones .
reset the ringtone and check the ringtone you want to use is on the phone .

Yes, I checked all the ringtone files and they do exist. Is there anything I can check? How do I go about rectify the problem?
Thanks & regards

Solved
I've solved the issue. When you are about set the ringtones for a Contact you're prompted to choose from the following:
Default Ringtone
Select sound from My files
Phone ringtone
I used to choose "Select sound from My files" & browse to the media folder & would select the mp3 ringtone. On selection, the contact's ringtone field's content will be "ringtone_name.mp3". This way of setting the ringtone wasn't working (Don't know why).
The solution was to choose "Phone ringtone" to set the ringtone instead. On selection, the contact's Ringtone field content will be "ringtone_name" (instead of "ringtone_name.mp3").
So, if anyone has trouble setting the contact ringtone, make sure you check with this procedure. If "Phone ringtone" option isn't displaying the ringtone you want, copy the ringtone to "/sdcard/media" folder.
Other thing you need to lookout for is the space in the phone number. For example, +xx<space>xxxxxxxxxx. Remove the space so it will be in the format +xxxxxxxxxxxx.
Do anyone know why it doesn't work when I choose "Select sound from My files"?
Hope this will be helpful.
