Hi All - I've noticed that the ring tone that plays for some of my callers is different to the ring tone I set in 'sounds and notifications'. Is that just a glitch or can a sound be assigned to a name in my contacts WITHOUT the installation of any extra software?
If it's possible, I don't remember how set sounds based on the caller's name
Thanks
Yep, goto contacts, then edit the contact it will then save ringtone in the list when you edit, just pick the ring tone you want
Cheers! - I knew it must be simple! I just didn't travel far enough down the edit page within Contacts
Excellent - thanks for the quick reply

Hi
I got this weired problem with WM6.1 in my Treo750, Its not giving any sound for Known Caller, when I try to choose one from ring tones under Ring type for Phone:Known Caller is like Alarm, Alarm Flute etc. which was suppose to be Ring, Increase ring, Ring Once, Non.
If I try to change sound for any other like Missed call or Unknown caller then I am able to get that Ring, Increase ring, Ring Once and none but after I chose it doesnt save the detail. When I go back to the Ring type again it goes to Alarm, Alarm Flute only.
Does anybody have any idea why its acting like this or any solutions?
Thanks

For my Troe with WM6.1, I've got the different problem.
At Sounds & Notification > Phone : Know Caller > Ring Type
It show many ringtones in the handset like in Ring Tone, not the options for Ring, Increase ring, Ring Once and none
If anyone know how to solve this problem, please kindly advise me.
Many Thanks.
I had the same issue
What I did was to select a different option first.
Such as Reminders or Active Sync.
Then I would go back and select Phone: Known Caller
The field then would not be greyed out and select Ring Type: Ring
and Select Ring Tone: "Your Choice"
This worked for me the 2 times I reloaded 6.1

This works for me but when i go back the ring tone is greyed our again. When a know caller calls the it only works once then i have to reset it again. I'm continuing to search for a solution. I'm not keen on having to go back to stock rogers 6.0
beginner's point of view
if u have downloaded ur 6.1 wm version from xda-developers
I think the problem is in the 6.1 "edited" version, when u remove the AT&T from the xda file.
if u've done that try to hard reset (or replace the edited file with the original one if u packed it before), and not remove at&t ringtone from the xda file.
hope i know what i am talking about here !!!!
I have added to "my Ring Tones" a couple of tracks which fit the pitch of my hearing (which isn't the best). However, If i change to profile (silent) then return, the factory based ring tones show - not my specifics even though those specifics remain in my RingTones folder.
This phone - which I like, has so many really annoying idiosyncracies. Like defaulting to Touch Keypad when I've set the default to Key Pad!
Would someone tell me what i might be doing wrong - or have left out.

My TP2 stopped making any notification of incoming text messages or e-mails. I thought that incoming e-mail/ sms was controlled by the sound control, and that when we turned single volume off, we were setting one volume for ringing and another for system.
Silly me, I thought that System was e-mail and SMS message. But it looks like it is only things like low battery. Am I correct?
Where the heck is the control for e-mail volume. Also, I am trying to make distinctive rings for some individual e-mails. I have been able to go into an individual contact, edit contact, and then go to ringtones. But will that give me an individual ringtone when they call, or can I also get an individual alert when they text or e-mail me.
Then net of my problem now is that e-mail reception is silent. Then when I get the sound back I want to know if it is possible to get individual alerts.
Thanks.
Settings>Sound>Advanced>
make sure Events and Program Notifications are checked.. and go into Notofications and go through the pull down menu and make sure new email and new txt and new mms have sounds selected and checked "play sound"
Thanks. I did not make it deep enough into Notifications.

I've added a ring tone to a contact in my list, but when they call it just plays the main ring tone. Anyone else having this issue? I searched and didn't see anything, this is a HTC Arrive (with NoDo of course) not sure if that matters.
Thanks for any info.
I also noticed this.
I figured it was due to the custom ringtone i added.
I also added a custom ringtone, but if I set a contacts ringtone to one of the built in ones it still doesn't work. Perhaps the act of adding a custom ringtone breaks the ability to set contact specific ringtones? I hadn't set one before that so I'm not sure. I'll try deleting the custom ringtone (if I can) and see if I can then set contact specific ringtones. Anyone who has never added a custom ringtone and does have contact specifc ring tones? are they working?
Thanks
I have a 12 Lite, but I'm guessing this might be similar for all 12 models.
I'm using the standard Google Messages app, and I like to set different sound notifications for text messages from certain contacts. So to start, I go into the main Messages settings area, then Notifications, Incoming Messages, and set a universal ringtone sound we'll call "A". So far so good. Then I go into a conversion I want to make unique, hit the three dots, Details, Notifications, and change the Sound to ringtone "B".
Problem is, changing to ringtone "B" for a specific contact also goes back and changes it to "B" for the universal ringtone for everybody. Then if I go back to re-set the universal ringtone to "A", it also overwrites the specific one I had set for my unique contact. I can't keep them separate.
I've also tried doing this from the main Settings app, and it behaves the same way (I think they both end up in the same place anyhow)
Has anyone successfully set unique text notification sounds for specific contacts?
