Iphone assigned ringtones change

why do the assigned ringtones for contacts change to the default ringtone when i turn off the phone?

I am having the same problem. I have three custom ringtones, purchased from the Itunes store. Without any warning the ringtones for my contacts with the custom ringtones change back to the default ringtone? I have posted this in a couple of places without any answers as yet.

    Same here, I get no sound from videos, text messages. This happens for a while, then it works again then it doesn't work. When I go to settings, my "change with buttons" is on but buttons don't work. I have restored it but there is no change. Here is a picture of my screen when i try to change volume.

  • Search for assigned ringtones in phone content (co...

    Hi,
    It is common knowledge that if the same ringtone is assigned to more than one contact, then none of them play the assigned ringtone - rather fall back to a default tone.
    I have N97 and like everyone I assign different ringtones to diff contacts - occasionally changing them when one tone gets boring from prolonged use.
    With many contacts and many ringtones sometimes it becomes difficult to remember which ringtone has been assigned to whom - duplicates occur and become difficult to trace.
    In my previous N73 M(s60v3) I had a app called "mobilesearch" which among other functions, could search the phone content and find ringtones assigned to contacts - the search result would display the contact name and the ringtone assigned to it - but the built in search app in N97 is unable to do this.
    I have to open each contact individually > go to details > scroll down to ringtone details - to locate the ringtone assigned.   
    Can anyone suggest me to do this in a more easy & efficient way - or can tell me if there is any application available for s60v5 touch phone - like the "mobilesearch" I had mentioned.
    Please! 

    I know more about portal search than about content server, but I believe CS indexes items only when they are published to a portlet. I'm not sure if there is any way to change this behavior. Perhaps you could publish the items to a portlet that isn't displayed?

  • Assigned ringtones won't play

    For several weeks now all my contacts with assigned ringtones (both those that came with the phone and those that I bought) won't play. Even though the contact shows an assigned ringtone, the default actually plays. I re-synched the phone and turned it off and on, but they still won't play. This was a problem for a while with my first iPhone, but only recently started with my 3Gs that I've had for about 6 months.

    This is a long one; perhaps a bit confusing, but here goes.
    The text/instructions within the asterisks is copied from another post to Apple Discussions:
    If your MobileMe email account settings were successfully transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences, you don't need to keep this option selected. Deselecting this under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by selecting Apply will not remove the email account from your iPhone with the next sync.
    If you are syncing contacts over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone and you have Sync Contacts selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, this is not necessary and does nothing but duplicate the contacts on your iPhone.
    Deselect Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences along with deselecting Sync Email Accounts followed by selecting Apply.
    On your iPhone go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select your MobileMe account.
    Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing. This will delete the contacts downloaded from your MobileMe online address book and you will be prompted to keep the contacts stored locally on your iPhone. Decline this prompt and wait a minute or two for your MobileMe online contacts to be deleted from your iPhone. This will not delete the contacts synced direct with the Address Book on your computer via the iTunes sync process.
    Turn Contacts back on for over the air syncing. You will be prompted to merge your MobileMe online contacts with the contacts stored locally on your iPhone. Select Merge. This will remove the duplicates.
    I followed these instructions on 09Feb. After doing so, when, on the iPhone, I went to Contacts, it showed Groups at the top and All Contacts plus all my groups under that. Tap All Contacts and the next screen came up with all my contacts, with no dupes.
    About 8 hours later, computer displayed a window which said something to the effect that I had to replace the Contacts on my Mobileme account. Did I want to copy the accounts from the computer on which the window was displayed or another account. Since that account had an accurate Address Book, I chose to copy those Contacts to MobileMe. This worked; MobileMe has an accurate list of my Contacts.
    On my original post, I said when I go to my iPhone > Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > (scroll down to Contacts) > Default Account, I am offered two choices for that Default Account: [email protected] OR On My iPhone.
    This is no longer true: when I now go to my iPhone > Settings > Mail,Contacts, Calendar, the major headings (the ones in gray print on a gray background) are now Accounts, Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Under Contacts are Sort Order and Display Order.
    I continue to be able to assign Ringtones to individual Contacts and they all work.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Assign Ringtone to "Unknown Callers"

    One of the features I miss from my Treo was the ability to have a specific ringtone for callers who were not in my contacts. Anyone know if / how to do this on iPhone. They appear to have it backwards in that I can assign a ringtone to callers in my contacts, but not a default ringtone for unknown callers.

    I think you know the working solution at this point. Assign a ringtone to EVERY entry in your Contacts, but keep one ringtone reserved and unassociated with any Contact. Make that ringtone your overall default.
    And of course, assign ringtones to every new contact as you add them. Yep, icky - but it would work.
    Better yet - use the feedback link above and ask for a 'ringtone for numbers not in Contacts' category to be added to the Phone Settings area.

  • Losing assigned ringtones

    I saw the post about iToner and was interested because I have had the same experience and I do not use iToner. I have assigned many of the iPhone ringtones and find that some of them disappear. It seems to happen to all the names in a group, but not to all the assigned ringtone in the address book, some remain. Not sure if it occurs after a sync or not.
    Does anyone know why this happens?

    RonAnnArbor, this is an interesting response to my question. First, I am not using third party ringtones, I am using the Apple ringtones. Second, this is a huge forum with many posts. I have been following this support forum only since July when I bought my phone and have found it most helpful. What I have not enjoyed is reading responses like the one that you posted to my question. I did try searching for the question and found many, many links, but none that I found answered my question. Yes, it may have been asked, but I really thought that if there was a simple answer someone would answer it. I guess I don't see why a person asking a question that may have been answered last month, needs to be jumped on.

  • Assigning Ringtones en masse

    Looking for workarounds.
    I just got an iPhone. I have ringtones that I wish to assign to people. I have over 100 contacts whom I want all to have the same ringtone, all labeled in a certain manner (XYZ A Abram, XYZ B Brach, XYZ C Chimp).
    Is there any way of doing this more quickly than scrolling through and editing each contact in the iPhone? Basically, I want each contact labeled XYZ to be assigned ringtone 123. I'm willing to do this manually on my computer, it doesn't have to be an automated process, but I'm far less willing to do it solely on the iPhone.
    I'm not a big syncing guy, and I don't know which programs will help. What I wouldn't give for the ability to XML out the iPhone contact list. Edit it, then zip it back into the iPhone.
    Thanks,
    -R

    No way that I'm aware of.

  • E66 - assign ringtone to unknown caller

    Is it possible to change my default ringtone for unknown caller/sender (unknown means not define on your phonebook or contacts).
    So, when unknown caller/sender calls/sends a message the assigned ringtone (downloaded mp3, not builtin tone) would play.
    Please reply.

    I´m pretty sure it is not possible to assign any kind of ringtone to an "unknown caller", but what you could do is assign ringtone#1 to all contacts (manually of course) and set the default ringtone to ringtone#2. See what I mean? I know it is a lot of work...but I guess it´s the only way...
    By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

  • I have a 3G iPhone and have changed my email which I use an an ID.  it is changed on my iTunes (PC) but the old email/ID still appears on my 3G iPhone so I cannot update my Apps..........how do I get the iPhone to accept the new ID??

    I have a 3G iPhone and have changed my email and Apple ID on my laptop/iTunes account.
    How do I get this new ID to show on my 3G iPhone.
    I still have the old ID and cannot update my Apps.
    PLEASE HELP !!
    thanks, Nosuh

    Did you purchase or download the apps with your old ID?  Apps are tied to the ID that is was purchased from.
    If it is a new app you bought with your new ID, you can go into settings - appstore- apple id and then log out.

  • My iPhone 5 will change its time randomly throughout the day. How do I get this to stop and stay on local time?!

    Randomly my iPhone 5 will change the date and time on my phone. A message will then come up saying I need to set my date and time in order to send or receive messages. It's on the automatic setting for date and time but this is happening 3 and 4 times a day now. It's really bad when it changes my date and time in the middle of the night and my alarm goes off at "600 am" but its really 230. Anyone know how to fix this? I haven't had my phone more than 2 weeks but really don't want to have to go back to the apple store to have them look at my phone.

    Are you on Verizon?  Verizon has acknowledged a problem that they say is related to some towers not being compatible with the new OS.  I believe they said it will be resolved in a few weeks.  Meanwhile, the suggestion is to go to Settings/General/Date and Time and change Set Automatically to OFF.

  • Does the iphone cpu frequency change when the cpu load is different?

    Does the iphone cpu frequency change when the cpu load is different, or it does not change, stay a fixed frequency? if it changes, how can i get the realtime cpu frequency?if anyone knows,please tell me, thank you so much!!!

    As a general, historical statement Tonefox is correct.  For certain particular cpus woodmeister is correct.  Cpus have historically been single frequency units, though over-clocking has been done for several years.  Doing so pushes the cpu beyond its guaranteed speed, but has tended to work since most cpus from quality vendors will actually operate at higher speeds.  The manufacturer just does not guarantee the results...remember the Pentium fiasco in the early years of that chip?  Today manufacturers are ceertifying particular product lines for over-clocking on a periodic basis.  And that is what dynamic clocking really is, over-clocking but not at a constant clock speed as has been done in the past.
    Much of the silicon on the market will function at higher clock rates, the only question is does the maker guarantee the accuracy and performance at those clock rates.
