How can I change ringtones and alerts for different contacts? - General Topics

I would like to setup some contacts so they have a different ringtone when they call and a different alert sound when they send a text message. I am using a Titan (VZ 6800) with WM6.1 with the DCD Rom. Any idea how I can do this?
Thanks!

Go into "Contacts".
Go into (edit) the contact person of the person, one of the field is Ringtone, just select whatever ringtone you want.
You can do this one by one for all the contacts.

any way I can do this for text messages too?

try this

Assigning ringtone to contact 750v

I don't know why I'm having such a hard time getting this device to do similar things as my TyTn. This is the latest thing that has me stumped. Maybe the 1st question I should ask is does the Treo have the ability to assign a ring tone by contact? It appears to but the phone will only ring the tone assigned to the Phone: Known caller profile in the "ringtones" preference. Even if the known caller has a different ring tone assigned within contacts. I already tried moving the tone into the "windows" directory & that doesn't work. I also have Goodlink running however this was also running on my TyTn & never had the problem. What else could it be?
Anyone have the same issue?
I also cannot sign onto www.howardforums.com. I get thru the sign on screen, it says welcome teride, but then everytime I try to access a page I get booted back to the sign on screen. I have been successful logging onto my bank web & accessing financial records. Any clue what I need to tweak?
Thanks,
Tde
Try using Sounds app to add your tones, before assigning them to contacts. The Treo seems to be hard coded to use only tones/alerts added via this program, I did this and have no problems using different tones for different contacts.

As for problems getting into websites etc have you tried clearing cache and history? also a soft reset might help.

Brilliant....you fixed both of my problems. I was just putting the tone in the "rings" folder vs adding via the Sound app...now they work just fine...yeah. I wish I would have found this out before I migrated to Cingular from ATT. With the ATT SIM my phone always displayed the roaming icon & all tones defaulted to the Phone: Roaming tone profile even when tone assigned to contact..it was driving me crazy...little did I know it more than likely would have worked just fine had I added the tones via the Sound app..oh well.
As for HF--I completely forgot about clearing cache & history.....just call me dumbo...thanks so much for your help.
no worries. glad everything worked out ok
i just dropped the files into the my documents folder and it show up on the list to choose from...

I did that too & they were displayed to choose from. But would not work when used, meaning I assigned to contact but ringer assigned would not work. Not until I added to the list using the sound app...don't know why but it works now.
that is funny, well glad that you found a way to assign your ringtones...

Contacts problem !!!

i recently went into the contacts list on my xda orbit 2
only to find it was only showing just 2 contacts which were listed on my sim card,
i cannot see any of my outlook contacts at all ?
if i wish to phone anyone who was on my contacts list,
i have to find MMS from this person and dial from there,
contact is showing correctly as sender of sms as per listing in contacts
except i cannot view the list showing 'ALL' contacts
any help appreciated folks
-thanks
Dont you have a filter in the contacts view?
hi,
my orbits filter settings are set to exactly the same as my mrs's orbit2
her contacts list is a-o-k
sms text messages recieved prior to this problem ALL show senders name as it was listed in contacts & also the number as was provided when i created the contact
ALA - orbit seems to be using the original contacts list to provide sender details for text messages recieved prior to error happening,
yet.....
will NOT allow me to access the contacts details etc,
anyone got any input / ideas etc, as im well n truely stuck without these contacts
same troubles
I have also found that on regular occasions that my Orbit 2 looses all the ring tones and name tags tied to contacts.. I can reset them all and within a few weeks they go back to default... Gets most annoying when you try to set tones to know who is calling..
AFAIK that's a Registry Error.
It's a common thing in MS Windows (including Windows Mobile) to have registry errors.
Only 2 things to solve this kind of problem:
Restore from the latest backup
Hard Reset

Dont see the names of contacts when answering call

After I upgraded to WM 6.1 I don't see the names of contacts when they're calling me. Is there a fix for this? I thought it had something to do with the countrynumber, though now I think that's not the case.
Huh? It should not be the case.
However, Schap's Advanced config tools have one setting where you can control how many digits phone uses to recognize contact.
I have all contacts in international format (+countrynumbernetworknumberphone number) and have set number of digits to 9 (default is 8).
Of course, networknumber is without leading zero.
Or if you have multiple entries for same contact, phone could be confused and display only number, not name.
But I guess that's not the case...
Synchronizing
I Synchronized the phonenumbers of the phone with my desktop. It now seems allright. I now see the names of the people who are calling.
BTW: I did a backup with Sprite software. I think something went wrong here.

Problems with AT&T Tilt

Hello, I need some help with my tilt. Im running WM6.1. I have some problems with my texting:
When I type a message, it doesnt automatically capitalize things like "I" and it doesn't put in apostrophes when needed
I set it to organize my text messages by "Recieved", but it changes the text from the time it got it to the day it got it, and puts the earlier date on the bottom
I also want to remove the "Zoomboard" option that's in the menu for choosing a text input mode; it's still there after I uninstalled it.
These problems began after I uninstalled vito zoomboard and vito SMS-Chat, I dont know what to do to fix it
Another problem I have is that when I try to type out a person's name when choosing who to send a text to, it doesn't automatically show their name and number like this:
Random Person <number in here>
Again, after I uninstalled vito zoomboard and vito SMS-Chat, these problems arose.
Is there a registry edit or something to fix this? Please help!

SMS text problems

My text messages only display phone # of the sender but doesn't display their name in my contacts. The names would display fine when receiving calls.. Please help.
I've tried editing the registry HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch to "7, 8, 10, 11, 12" but nothing works. Any suggestions???
has this been happening for a long time? my phone sometimes do that when I do a reset and it screwed up and forgets to ID the txts. give it some time. it might work out.
It happens every time I flash a new ROM. I used spbbackup to save PIM contacts. Maybe spbbackup contact format is not compatible with the ROM's contacts. The weird thing is some of the names in contacts display just fine.
Do not use spb backup. It'll screw up your contacts. Problem solved after using Pimbackup and spritebackup.
