Changing Ringtones on Multiple Contacts - Nokia 58...

I created a group in my contacts and selected a few contacts and placed them in the group.  Then I change the group's ringtone.  However this did not change the ringtones of each contact.  This was not what I expected.
Could anyone explain why and how I might be able to change several contact ringtones at the same time?
Thanks.

If your group is not that large, try deleting the group and redoing it.
What else could be going on is that you have a contact in a group but also have it assigned a personal ringtone in the Contact details. I believe that the ringtone in the Contacts will override the ringtone in the group.
Also, check and make sure that one contact is not in several groups.

  • Changing ringtones for each contact?

    How do I set the ringtones for each contact?  I can't find out how to do it, and the Verizon guy couldn't help.
    John185

    Try this:
    1) Long press on a contact
    2) select "View contact"
    3) press the Menu button on the bottom left of the phone (the one with the 4 squares)
    4) select "Edit"
    5) select "Additional info" at the bottom and tap the triangle
    6) select "Ringtone"

  • Is there a way to change info on multiple contacts simultaniously?

    Greetings.
    I have a group that has 50 contacts in it. Each contact has name, company, and email address. Is there a way to add address, city, state in the address fields to all contact all at once, or is this something that has to be done with each individual contact?
    I'm hoping there is a way to automate this. I have about 400 groups, with lots of contacts that I'd like to update with address info if it's not a nightmare.
    Thanks.
    Jonathan

    So outside of learning how to use automator or start learning scripting, theres no way of doing this?
    So if you have 200 people in a group at the same company and the company changes it's name or address you have to manually go in and change each individual card entry?
    There has to be some find/change thing.
    Anyone else?
    Thanks.

  • Why can't I change the ringtone of my contacts?

    I am having trouble getting the ringtone for my contacts to change. I have a standard ringtone that I use for everyone that I don't talk to frequently. The contacts in my phone that I talk to frequently I have assigned their own ringtone to differentiate them from other callers. I have been able to assign ringtones to everyone except for 1 of the contacts that I would like to. When I open my contacts I scroll to their listing and open it. Then I hit the menu hard button in the bottom left corner. I will select set ringtone and then scroll to the ringtone I want to use, select it, and hit ok. When that person calls it does not play the ringtone I selected. For some reason it is only playing my text alert sound. Any idea how to fix this? I am running Android 4.1.2.

    I figured this out finally.  But I didn't start looking for a fix in 2013 May, I started in April 2015.  So 2 years late with this post but here's how I fixed this problem. 
    Delete the contact from your contacts list.  Create a new contact listing for him/her, then assign the new ringtone to the new contact listing.  Worked for me the first time I tried it.  This is such a common fix for un-fixable problems with computers I figured 'What the heck, I'll try it.'.

  • Can't Customize Multiple Contacts With Different Ringtones

    I am copying this from a different Blackberry Forum sight I posted at.  I can't get different ringtones for different contacts, I already got the phone calls but I want the text messages different just like I have the calls customized.
    Ok, call me stupid but I think I am having the exact same problem as everyone else. I see absolutely no point in having the same ringtone for ALL text messages(or a max of 2 if you make a different profile/exception)... On the last 4 phones I have had I was able to use this function. Now days a lot of the consumers text more than they call other people (especially if they work alot). I can customize the ringtone by changing the profile(ex. Custom Tones) and making an exception(Custom Tones), but I can only do this for one person(Trevor). Yes, I realize I can add more than one person to that exception(Trevor, Mike, etc.) and still have the same ringtone(on that Custom Tones exception), but that does me no good. I don't want to have to group my friends together to the same ringtones. That makes NO Sense in the updated cellular world!
    There is no way to make 20 different profiles and 20 different exceptions so that you can get 20 different ringtones for 20 people (yes all different TEXT Messages, I have all of the regular Calls customized). This is the question I would like answered by a Moderator if possible. You can do this on almost every other phone in the last couple years.
    I have found out that I can make a separate EXCEPTION, and use the ACTIVE PROFILE (so it gets me the different ringtone as before, Custom Tones, but there is no way to adjust that specific person's ringtone, ***meaning other than the Custom Tones Profile***, since the Custom Phone Tune is the only thing you can change on that menu and it's phone calls only). If the phone had a Custom Text Message option under this it would work great, but it doesn't!
    The only way I can see making a different text message ringtone is by setting one as MMS ringtone, one as SMS ringtone, etc. I want these all combined for EACH PERSON, like EVERY OTHER PHONE out there!
    I am not dumb when it comes to technology, but this is really bugging me.

    You are right, there is not an easy way to customize SMS, etc. for individual contacts.

  • New 4s.  Adjusted all ringtones by contact and now they are all showing as "multiple ringtones" for each contact.  Help!

    I set up my new iphone 4s and assigned ringtones to my contacts on my phone.   A day later each contact showed "multiple ringtones".   How do I keep that from happening?  I did not physically sync my phone and am set up on icloud to sync.   thx.

    I had this problem due to Linked contact cards so that each contact was composed of more than one entry. Apparently the Contacts list can get corupted and have more entries than you think. I found the answer in the Linked /Unknown discussion on this community. My reply that I poste dthere fixed the problem.
    This is what I wrote:
    ================================================
    I had a problem where I could not get the assigned ringtone to ring correctly. Tried removing and restoring the contacts from MobileMe several times and resetting sync to copy the computer contacts to replace the MobileMe contact. Still no luck. Then I looked at the All Contacts number and it was larger than the total number in my Contacts list on the computer. So there were extras I couldn't see. When I turned off the MobileMe Contacts, some where still left anyway.
    I then tried to cleanup the list by looking for hidden contacts. I tried the contacts "cleaner app" I had, called Group, which removes duplicates, but it did not find anything. Then I tried your recommended Cleanup app (seach in App Store for Cleanup), and, lo and behold, it found a lot of contacts that should not have been there still. Cleanup removed them all, leaving the list squeaky clean.
    Then I turned on MobileMe Contacts again, and after the Contacts list populated, the number agreed with the number on  my computer. And the switching of assigned ringtones now works correctly.
    So, I basically did what you recommended, but since I am not using iCloud to sync, since I haven't switched to Lion, I did the same thing using MobileMe.

    You need an app that allows group messaging. Enter group messenger in the search bar in the app store.

  • Making a common change to multiple contacts

    Hi,
    I am trying to add/change the address for multiple contacts. Is there an faster way to do this besides doing each one individualy?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The report is a great idea!  I store both a max technical report and a project.NCE (HW config export) with each of my projects for this exact reason.  Those files have sure come in handy!
    Also- its a good idea to make an image of the target as accepted and archive it somewhere.  ESPECIALLY for PXI based systems from NI.  (When the customer comes back for a "duplicate" just send the image with the PO and the system arrives fully configured)

  • Can you have multiple contact forms in a single Muse site?

    I have a site created in Muse that needs to use multiple contact forms of a sort.  One is a simple contact form.  Two others are sign up forms. In two of the three forms I have to separate the First and Last names.  Also in those there are multiple Custom fields and Message fields.
    The original simple contact form is working fine and has been.  However, I modified one of the pages by adding a second form, the first of the two sign-up forms.  It looked great in Muse, but when uploaded to the site, all of the fields were gone, leaving only the Labels in a single paragraph.
    Does this mean I can't have multiple contact forms in a single site?  If I actually, can, then what might have caused the problem?  And what could you suggest for me to try to fix it?
    Thank you,
    Laura

    Thank you for the information, but I cannot find anywhere in help where to find the field names (if that is my problem).  I changed all the labels and the corresponding text inside the field (remember, Muse does not give access to code as far as I can tell).  When I preview the page in a browser (using FireFox as default, but also tried with IE), everything looks good.  When I export to html and open the index.html on my computer, everything still looks great.  But when I FTP the page to the website, this is what I get:
    First Name:RequiredRescuer Email:RequiredOrganization (if any):RequiredSubmitting Form...The server encountered an error.Form received.Geographic Areas Covered:RequiredRescuer Cell Phone:RequiredRescuer Home Phone:RequiredRescuer Home Address:
    RequiredRescuer City:RequiredRescuer State:RequiredRescuer Zip code:RequiredRescuer Country:RequiredVeterinarian Name:RequiredVet Address:RequiredVet City & State:RequiredVet Phone:RequiredRequiredServices Offered:RequiredAdditional Info About You:Required Rescuer (available to general public) RequiredVolunteer (available only to Rescuers)RequiredPhoneRequiredEmailRequiredOtherRequiredLast Name:RequiredImage Verification:Required
    How would you prefer to be listed?
    How would you prefer to be contacted?
    However, this is how it looks on the preview:
    So, what is my problem?  And how can I fix it?

  • Address Book - Create multiple contacts at one company?

    I am using Address Book v 4.0.4 and I want to be able to create multiple contacts at one company without having to reenter the Company, Tel. and Address information each time.
    Is there a way to duplicate an address, say the basic company address, to make the process of entering multiple people at one company any faster?
    Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Michel
    MBP Laptop & G5 Tower   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Address Book v 4.0.4

    I talked to Apple today and here is how you create multiple contacts at one address, company etc. without having to reenter everything.
    1) In Address Book, highlight a contact in the name list
    2) Go to the Edit Menu & COPY
    3) Go back to the Edit Menu & PASTE
    4) Make changes to the new 'duplicated' contact
    Seems easy if you know how to do it.

  • With multiple contact lists, list title not correct

    I have an original iPhone w/ 2.0 software, hooked up to my company's Exchange server. I created multiple contact folders on Exchange to categorize my contacts: Clients, Company, Friends, Family, etc.
    The multiple folders show up just fine as Groups on the iPhone. The problem is that when I select one of the individual lists (e.g. Friends), the title on the list reverts to "All Contacts". The list still contains just Friends, but the title has changed.
    Bug?

    I noticed a lot of people read this question and judging by how many similar questions appear on this and other forums, it appears there is a lot of interest in this topic
    I was finally able to resolve it by using a blackberry back up file (which contained all my contacts from the multiple address books on my device) and converting that data into outlook ready files. I had to use a third party tool to do this because you cannot directly import contacts to outlook from an .ipd file. I can provide the name of the tool if anyone wants but dont want it to look like I am spamming.
    Once everything was in my desktop outlook it was easy to synch with my my device to get everything into the desktop address book and then delete the entries in the other addres books All a bit fiddly, a little bit time consuming but it got the job done.
    Cheers.

  • Can you select multiple contacts all at one time when composing an email?

    Would like to know if there's a way to select multiple contacts when composing a large blast email to family etc. I really don't want to create a separate group I would rather just select from contacts as I go. This list changes depending what I'm emailing. Just ***** when trying to send mass email out on the fly while staying in touch with family.

    Czar Nicholas-
    The only way I know is to select Edit at the top of the mailbox list of messages.  Then touch the circle by each you want to delete.  When finished selecting, press Delete at the bottom of that window.
