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.

  • 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....

  • Iphone4 : Can I use different ringers for diff email accounts?

    Hi, I have just relinquished my beloved Blackberry in favor of my first ever Iphone, the reason being that  my home/work computers are macs and I was motivated by the syncing/coherence options.
    I have multiple email address for work/personal and have set them up on my Iphone. However, I don't seem able to attribute a specific ringer to each account (which I had previously on my bb), so whenever an email arrives i have the same sound regardless of which account it is, including the one reserved for "junk".
    Is it possible to personalize this option on the Iphone4 (NOT the 4S)?
    I am finding the iphone much more limited and less user friendly than my bb - I hope my opinion will change with use but so far it seems more annoying and limited than anything else.
    Advice would be much appreciated.
    thank you

  • 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)

  • Selecting different ringtone for in holster in OS v5.0 for BlackBerry 8520

    Updated yesterday to OS v5.0.
    Previously in v4.7 it was possible to select a different ringtone for when the phone was out the holster and a different one for when in the Holster.
    I cannot do that now with v5.0.  All that I can now do is turn the ringtone off or on when  in the holster but not select a different ringtone.
    Is there any way of doing this like in v4.7?
    THanks.

    That should have done it. Try the instructions below:
    You want to download this file:
    File name: 8520wifijEastAsia_PBr5.0.0_rel860_PL5.2.0.47_A5.0.0.509_Globe_Telecom__Inc.exe
    Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
    1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • Deployment Issues, Different  Jars for Diff Java in one application.

    HI,
    I need to put classpath (Jars) for my WEB-INF/classes. Different Jars for Diff files in one application.
    The problem is , for one ofmy application, the lib files are x.jar and y.jar , x is older than y but have same
    lib files. in x and y, there is one class , r.java , which have a method method1(). whey they are doing modifications in y.jar , the r.java has changed to new vertion, the method method1() they re-written the body.
    My application have 5 java files, in which 2 files uses r.java imported from the x.jar earlier.
    Now we need to use y.jar because , the y.jar have more files added with good futures. But the earlier 2 files are giving exception if i use y.jar.
    I need solution for this. how can i put classpath for the 2 files to use the x.jar and other files to use y.jar in the same application.
    I am using a Tomcat 4 server. only Servlets, JSPs I am using.
    Thank you,
    Kiran

    I may be missing something here, is y.jar a newer version of x.jar? And if it is do you need x.jar at all? Are there classes in x.jar that do not exist in y.jar? Can you modify your application to provide the same functionality and only use y.jar?

  • 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??

    I do not know what you mean by charger. Cable?
    Not Charge
    - See:

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Using Different Ringtones

    I am a new convert from the dark world (i.e. Palm Treo). It is so good to be in the open.
    Questions: Can I set different ringtones for specific individuals in my address book? (e.g., wife, daughters, mother, etc.)
    Can I also set different ringtones for individuals in my address book, compared to "unknowns" who are not in my address book? 
    If so, please provide instructions, or a link that explains how. Thanks in advance.

    Go to Solution.

    Hi BKPhotos
    To set the ringtone for an individual in your address book, go to the address book, highlight the contact, hit the menu button and select "Add custom phone tune" (this wording will vary slightly depending on the model and OS of your BlackBerry)
    To set a general ringtone go into your profiles icon, scroll down to advanced, select your active profile and choose the alert you would like to change.  You can not set a seperate ring tone for address book entries and non address book entries
    Cheers!

  • After ios7 upgrade, I cannot select different ringtone for different phone #

    I had set up different ringtones for specific phone numbers but after ios7 upgrade, all the phone numbers ring with the default ringtone. The ringtones are still individually assigned correctly when I look in the addresses book. I have even tried changing an assigned ring tone to something else & heard the new ring tone when it was selected, but when the number was called, I just got the default ringtone.
    Any ideas or solutions?

    Hello ccrjon,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with Messages after upgrading to iOS 7.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Messages app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:
