Possibly a silly question, but how do you set an MP3 as a ringtone to a specific person?
there is an option in the contacts set ring tone, if you have not found it yet.
the mp3 may have to be in the correct directory (\media\audio\ringtones)
I went to edit the contact in question but couldn't find the option for ringtone. I'm sure it's there somewhere I just can't find it!!
Anyone?
Select People, then select any contact, then scroll down the list where it says number, send message, send mail.
Under Information there is ringtone option.

I was able to get individual ringtones to work on the Kjam wm5 but I am unable to do so on the Mogul. I go to contacts, edit, ringtone, and then select the ringtone. The ringtone then plays until the end of the ringtone with no way to get it to quit.
I have tried several ringtones but when i reopen the contact no ringtone is selected.
Is this a wm 6 issue or is there another way to select the individual contact ringtones?
Has anyone got it to work and if so how?

I can assign a custom ringtone from /sdcard/media/ringtones/ to any contact (Google contacts) and I see that contact has a custom ringtone assigned but when a contact with a custom ringtone calls me - it' still plays a default ringtone which I set in "Settings". Why is it so?

Bump-bump...
I found some posts in google groups discussing the same problem for different phones/firmwares. Solutions are: align phone numbers in contacts to be the same as it shown during incoming call: no "(", spaces between digits, etc. I tested different variants - no luck, it recognizes the person who calling me, shows correct name and photo, a phone number for incomuing is exactly the same as it written in contacts, but ringtone is not custom but default anyway. I changed custom MP3s to predefined ringtons - still the same, default ringtone for all incoming calls.
Does anybody here have the same problem? Or, at least, could You suggest me another application instead of standart "People"?
Upd: Fixed. A solution was simple but efficient - the phone should be rebooted after importing of contacts and setting custom ringtones.
you can also go to music and selecting the song then menu - ringtone for contact
Hi,
I changed the ringtone of one of my friends to a different one (in contacts settings). I was under the impression that this only changes the RINGtone (when the contact calls me). However, it also changed the notification sound of WhatsApp for example for this particular contact.
As you can only choose Ringtones in the menu, I now get an annoying ringtone everytime the contact sends me a message.
I also can't revert the changes as I can't find "Default" in the menu.
Has anyone an idea how to fix this (at least get the default settings back)?
Edit: Omg it was in whatsapp itswlf. Can be clo
Here's the deal, I have a Viper Smartstart app on my phone. Everything works well, but I wanted to specify
a specific ringtone for my alarm alerts on my phone. The problem is that there is no specific telephone number that the sms is coming from. Rather than a number it says [email protected] in the number field. Because of this, the alert sounds are the same as all my other sms that come through. I wanted to have a siren sound for the smartstart.
I tried to save the contact and assign the alert but it didnt work. Any suggestions for settings or apps?
I found a way to get the caller's name to be spoken -- but I guess there is no built-in way to get this to happen for a text message? I would be nice to know who is texting without having to look at my phone.

I found a way, but it's not built-in and I think you'll need root.
I installed 'text to speech' from the play store, typed in 'messge from .........' saved all the names I wanted and transfered them to system/media/audio/notifications/sound theme/calm (root needed?)
Then chose their name as the ringtone, works in whatsapp aswell.
i did something somewhat related as well. i went into a text to speech website and created both a ringtone and an sms tone for specific contacts only. so say if i'm driving and the sound comes "liam calling" or ä message tone of "sms from liam", that will be from my son which i need to address as it might be urgent. but if the generic tone "sms" or my usual ringtone comes up, i don't address it right away. i went one step further for the other notifications. i created ones for teams, messenger, office email etc.. so say when the tone "front door" sounds, this is the camera in front detecting a person.
