Is there an app or any way native on the phone to set an individual ringtone for a group of contacts? Or set a certain ringtone for people in your contacts and a certain one for other calls? The only way I have figured out is to set the contact ringtone individually. I am running Virtuous. Thanks.
i'm looking for a way to split the SMS alerts and Email alerts Tone OR even just turn off the Email alert tone but keep the SMS one.
Under settings in messaging app you can change the ringtone.
I believe you can do the same in the gmail app by going into the account settings.
I do not use the default exchange app anymore so I can't help you with that one

Hi,
Today I tried setting a customer ringtone for a contact but changed my mind afterwards. Now I found out that there is no option for setting a "Default" ringtone.
Custom contact applications allow you to select a "default ringtone" but it's not the same and other applications such was WhatsApp messenger still consider "dafault ringtone" a custom one. I checked with other unchanged contacts which state "Dafault" as their ringtone. When I use custom contact app such as GO Contacts it states "Default ringtone notification (Beep)".
Does anyone know how to actually reset contact ringtone to default? I tried searching everywhere to no avail. Workaround such as export to sim card, delete, import is the only option I found.
Thank you.
Just searched for the same solution and I found this:
"Luckily the Ringtone Maker application from the Android play store has a Contact ringtone management option in the top right settings dropdown, that has the added ‘default ringtone’ option at the very top of the ringtone options list."

just look for your contacts and set a "new" ringtone, then you choose the default one
"Default" is not an available option
Hi, I have the same problem as Bledula. If I try to set the contact ringtone back to the default one I get the option to choose "Default ringtone" from the dropdown box. This doesn't have the desired effect, though, because it sets the sound for an incoming text/whatsapp message of that contact to the default ringtone that is used for incoming calls.
I tried n3tchart's suggestion, which indeed allows me to view the ringtone for each contact whithin the Ringtone Maker app. All the contacts whose ringtone I have tempered with are set to "Default", while the one that I have tempered with is set to "Default ringtone". The problem still persists, because even within Ringtone Maker, the option "Default" is unavailable in the corresponding dropdown box.
Does any know if there is some config file of the address book that I could edit by hand? Maybe there I could manually edit "Default ringtone" to "Default"...
Many thanks!!
a not-so-elegant workaround
Okay, so I looked into some more. I could find a configuration file that allowed me to edit this thing by hand. However, I found a kinda dirty way around the problem.
First, disable (delete) the Whatsapp account from the "Accounts & sync" settings menu. Then, delete the contact that has the ringtone issue and re-add the contact manually. Finally, add the Whatsapp account in the "Accounts & Sync" settings menu again. That's it. The contact's ringtone is set to "Default" again rather than "Default ringtone".
Note that just deleting and re-adding the contact doesn't fix the problem if you don't disable Whatsapp syncing.
The notification sound of my mail and sms are the same?
How van I make a different sound for Gmail?
Change it in the Gmail app settings
Hi! I need to select "none" as incoming calls ringtone, but it seems not possible (possible only for notifications and messages). I need that my phone will ring only for calls incoming from some contacts. On other Android devices i select "none" and i choose custom ringtone only for those contacts.
Help please.
