How to backup and restore contacts and groups with specific ringtones? - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hey All,
Every time I get a new phone I have to re-assign the specific call and sms tones to my contacts and groups. Is there an easier way to just copy the contacts with their ringtones to the new phone and not having to go through my frequent contacts and assign ringtones to them one by one?
I have Samsung and use Smart Switch to restore the contacts to the new phone, but it doesn't re-assign their personalized tones.
Thank you in advance.

contacts: assign ringtones?

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.

how to assign ringtones ?

still a lil new to the wing, cant seem to find a way to assign ringtones to a contact, is it possible, so far i have all my contacts as SIM contacts and not as outlook contacts, do i need to switch them over in order to assign ringtones or do i need some other program
Not sure if you need to change your contacts from SIM to Outlook/device, but you can apply a ringtone to a contact in the contact details, if you dont find the option then you probably have to switch your contacts over to your device
thanks for the help gambit i found what u were talking about, and unfortunately you do have to save under outlook contacts to assign ringtones kus as a SIM contact you dont have any options
Okay fine, glad I could help.

[APP] [REQUEST] Callers groups ringtones

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.

Ringtones and WM

Is there any way to assign different ring-tones to different contacts? is there a separate program that will allow this?
I have the Htc hd2 tmobile Us ver.
You should be able to go into your contacts and edit and then assign a ringtone to each contact.
thanks i found it, it's just really small.

No contact ringtones???

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
