Different ringtone for each contact

Is it possible to set a different ringtone for each person or at least each person on your Buddy List?

I bet all your contacts are Google/Gmail imported right? I had the same problems when I got the phone. I used to have a Droid so when I switched over my contacts where synced through Gmail....and thats where the problem is at...and here's the bad news: you can assigned different ringtones to your contacts but they have to be IN PHONE CONTACTS...meaning that they must be saved directly into the phone(the old fashion way) not sync'd from another source. To prove my point try this: open up your contacts and click "add new" fill in the usual info but after you enter in the phone number dont hit save but keep scrolling down and guess what you'll see......yep, "ringtone" Weird but thats just how this phone is. After finding this out I had to stop gmail from sync'ing my contacts, wrote down all my contacts, erased the contacts that were on the phone, and began the long process of typing in all my contacts into the phone. have fun....

  • Use different ringtones for diff contacts?

    My blackberry used to allow me to change the ringtone for each contact.  Can I do that with iPhone?  I have a 4s.
    Next question - can I change the ringtone notification for when certain contacts send me texts?  This would be great

    Yes, there is a field in each contact called ring tone and text tone. You can also set a different vibration pattern for each contact.

    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"

  • Unable to set ringtone for each contact

    After upgrade to the 5.1.1 iOS I was not able to set individual ringtone to each of contact anymore.
    All my contacts are using the same default ringtone when ever anyone calls.
    When I go into contact and hit edit I can see the different ringtone already setup for each contact and when I click it I can hear it play just fine. Then I exit and went back to main screen and try to call the phone and it still using the default ringtone.
    Any idea how did this happen or how to fix it? I am trying not to reset the phone.
    Thanks

    When you call your phone from another, is your iPhone picking up the caller ID that is in your Contacts, or does the incoming call just have a number (or maybe "unavailable")?
    Also, there should be no harm in Resetting your iPhone, that is not the same as Restoring it (even if you did Restore it, you could back it up first and re-load the backup as long as your Contacts and Camera Roll are backed up somewhere).

  • 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.

  • IPhone 4: Setting different ringtones for contacts not working.

    I can't add personal ringtones for each contact. I have followed all contact editing info to the letter, yet I still only get the same one ringtone for each contact (the default ringtone I set for the phone). Setting different ringtones for text messages works fine, but not for telephone contacts. Is this feature broken? Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks.

    It happened to me also when I first added specific ringtones to contacts, but just turning the phone off/on fixed it for me. You can try a reset also if that doesn't work (hold down the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the Apple logo comes up)

  • Ringtone for individual contacts not working help!

    I have had my Iphone for a week or so and I can not get individual ringtones for each contact to work. The guy at the ATT store was kind enough to transfer my contacts from my old Razr. ALL my calls are reverting to the default tone. This is very irritating. I can not find any duplicate entries in my contact list. I am on the verge of wiping all my contacts and starting over. Can someone help? Running OS 3.1.3.

    Sorry user error.. There is a sneaky little toggle switch right above the volume controls... It was in silence mode... Doh!

  • I have multiple emails, how do I add different signatures for each email address

    I have multiple emails for different companies I work for, how do I add a different signature for each one, it seems like I have to use the same one for all of them

    Thanks.  I think I'm on the right track.  I added the email address to my contacts and double clicked the image icon to change it, but it only lets me snap a new picture or select an image from another location.  What is the folder location of the stock icons that come with Mac OSX?

  • Pixi able to have different ringtones for different callers??

    So after about 4 years I finally had to get rid of my trusty Treo 650.  I went with the Pixi and just got it a few hours ago.  So far I like the phone, but have not been able to figure out how to set up different ringtones for different callers.  I am on call with my work and having a distinct ringtone for when work calls me is super important (they showed up as NO CALLER ID on the 650 if that helps figure this out) .  Also it was nice having a few other distinct ringtones so I knew right away who was calling and made it easier to decide if I wanted to take the phone out of my pocket to talk to them.  So I guess long story short:
    1.  Does the Pixi support distinct ringtones for different callers?
    2.  If so where do I set that up?
    3.  If not does anyone have any idea if this will be something that can/will be addressed in an upcoming software update?
    Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

    So after playing with my phone some more I figured out how to give contacts distinct ringtones...but I still havne't figured out how to give "uknown callers" (at least thats what the Treo 650 called them) a distinct ringtone.  This ringtone is the most important one due to the fact that when work calls me they come up as "NO CALLER ID" (once again thats what the Treo 650 did, been lucky enough to have not been called out in the few hours since I bought the Pixi....yet). 
     Anyone have any idea how to set up a distinct ringtone for "uknown callers" in the Pixi??
