No, it´s not possible - at least not with builtin abilities. You can only assign different ringtones for incoming calls

yeah i thought as much, cheers mate.....

I believe there's a Mortscript out there, named MortRing, that'll allow you to assign different message tones per contact. I haven't tested it yet myself so I don't know if it works. Here's the file..give it a try and let us know if it works.

thanks for this man. I didn't have much luck with mortscript so I'll give this a go tonight. cheers....

Looking forward to see if that program can cut it.
I too gave up on Mort-Script - its not working really well with HD2. It's was working to some extend - but it messed up other parts of the HD2 phone functions.
Mort = Close but no Cigar.

No option to save contact to Google

My TB is not rooted and I have done a hard reset to try to solve this issue with no luck. When I add a contact it will automatically save it to the local phone book and never get an option to save it to google. Even with a sync the contacts I put in my phone never sync. I have searched for a resolution with no avail. Any help is appreciated!

Are you sure you are not over looking the option at the very top? When adding from call log or directly from contacts, the very frist thing on the list says "phone" with a drop down arrow. You can choose to save to google, sim, or phone.

I've been having a similar issue on my rooted Thunderbolt. Every time I flash a new Rom, I lose my most recently added contacts. I just double checked my contacts and I have 16 saved to the phone (not Google) and I see no way to move them to Google. There has to be something simple that I'm overlooking.

Yes, when I save a number from the call list I get the option to "Create New Contact" or Save to existing contact". Either option allows me to type in a name etc. but never get a prompt where to save it nor can I go back and edit the contact and change whether it's saved to phone or Google. I can even hit the "link" button in the top right hand corner and the only option I get is. "All Contacts" I have hard reset the phone twice, and also removed the memory card for troubleshooting purposes.

Ok, I found a fix for this. In your contacts, select menu, import/export, export to SD card and choose to export your phone contacts. Now go to menu, view, and deselect all options except phone contacts. Delete every phone contact you have. Now select menu, import/export, import from SD card, choose the file you just created (if you have more than one) and select Google to import. Now all of the phone contacts are Google contacts and you don't have any duplicates.
As for new contacts, I have an option to select Google or sim but I always forget to. Looks like I'll be doing this often.
Hope this helps you!

I just tested this. I get the option to select phone, google, or sim if I create a new contact but do not have this option if I'm updating an existing contact. I assume it will update that contact wherever it is saved.

I do not even get this option when creating a new contact. I am not sure what is going on. All contacts are saved to the phone.

yup, it's right under name when you first save the contact. I don't think you can change it afterwards (which is retarded IMO). To be honest, I really like sense, but the AOSP dialer saves a lot of headache in this department...

On one Rom, I actually had to swipe contact entry page down to see the option of where to add number.

Can you post a pic of the screen you get when you add new contacts? I've forgot what the stock contact app looks like. I am on a Sense (Gingerbread) rom so I would think they're the same or similar. When I click phone at the top I get a pop up menu.

If you go to People. Then Menu -> View. Is Google checked? If only one thing is checked then you never get a choice, it automatically assigns the contact to that selection.
I made sure that Google is the ONLY option I have checked. I never get a choice either, but everything syncs to Google and nothing the the Phone or Sim.

How to add flight schedule to Google now

I have booked a flight from Seattle to little rock for next month and I want to add that flight schedule as a card on Google now. What's the best way of doing this? I love the idea of the information provided through Google now and would love to get this going. I searched Google but it just tells me to search flights.. I've searched the flight I'm taking. Plane, time and every combination of words I could think of and I just can't figure it out. Is there a manual way of adding this information? I've noticed with the new update it will take your flight schedule from the email sent after booking but it didn't work. I've got the card enabled for that feature.. nothing.

I just booked my flight today and received the email about it but Google now refuses to accept it. I ordered a bunch of stuff and Google now saw the emails and kept me notified automatically of its shipping status.
After further research it seems like having flight information is limited to using Google to search and book flights rather than kayak or other popular apps. Very lame!! As it can understand when I order something from amazon and even gohastings which is very minor company most common in the south.

I too don't know the best way to add a flight card, but I do know that if you search your flight, a card will appear... now how to make it re-appear like magic on the date of the flight, I don't know.

Manually get the flight card in google now
I figured out a way to get the flight card and destination weather forecast to appear in google now, simply send the flight confirmation to your google mail account (the same one used to register the phone), no need for adding calender event.
I used an old confirmation, edit the mail content to reflect a new flight date for tomorrow and sent it to my google mail and voila, google now updated immediately.

is that avaiable in europe?

This totally worked for me!
I sent myself this message:
Subject: flight confirmation
Body: American Airlines flight 1456 Miami to Boston arrives 2:15pm, August 4, 2013.
Google Now immediately provided a card with this info and more - basically everything I would get if I Googled "American Airlines 1456". I expect that some of the detail in the message I sent was unnecessary, like the cities, and arrival time.

Sent your itinerary to your gmail on your phone, close to date of travel it will appear in your google Now account.

sms backup will be some custom format (JSON or something). But what format would you suggest for backing up contacts? vcard? So that you can use the saved files in your Dropbox/Box/Drive in other apps, too?
I think it vcard is the best choice, is it?

[Q] Call Mom not working N5

Hello guys.
I am running stock 4.4.2 KOT49H
I start google voice search and say
"Call Mum"
It then requests
"Whom do you want to call?"
"Pick contact"
No matter how many times I then choose my mother as the contact to call, it never remembers, and asks me every time.
I have no idea why, anyone?
The same happens when I try "Call Wife" etc...

Are they saved in your contacts under those names? I guess your mum might be but 'wife' ?

set you contact as "mom" or "wife". it wont know who it is unless you you set your contacts as such.

If its asking who to call but not asking who is mom, then its likely the service isn't fully working for you (I have the same issue)

Hi
Thanks for the responses... AFAIK, the new feature that came out today is meant to remember any voice name you use, and you assign it to a contact...
The reason why I use wife is that google NEVER gets my wife's name right when I say it. I could change her name to wife and my mother's to mom, but that defeats the purpose of this new feature, so it should work that when I say call xyz, it asks who I mean, then I choose a contact, and next time I say call xyz it calls that contact.
Isnt that what the new feature does? Y2whisper, I thought it was "switched on" on google's servers, and was not something that would be gradually released, like an update to the software?
Tx
Mark.

Fully get what you mean.
When the feature works, you will say call my wife and you will be asked "who is your wife" you pick a contact and it should save.
When it's not working it will simply say "pick a contact" in other words it has no idea what you said so it's asking you to choose.
I'm not sure how it's being implemented. I think it's US only but there are others claiming they have it working. Even here in Canada.

Hey there,
Yeah, almost... when I say "call mom" it types "call mom" in the search field, so it does know what I said, but still asks me to pick a contact/Whom do you want to call... and does that again and again.
Odd.

Yup that's what it does for me which shows me the feature isn't working.

That's the problem, you pick a contact and try it again and it still asks Who's Mom!
Once you pick a contact it should save that information and then be able to dial it again easily.

Yeah for those that have that problem, I would assume Google has some kinks to work out.
