Ok, odd problem and I am not sure if this is the best place to ask.
Handcent started playing the "Droid" ringtone as its default the other day. I didnt change it. I set it back to custom and it is fine. So I can gather
BUT - now all custom contacts that I had individual ringtones for, or even ones I didnt have custom tones for ring as "Droid" and not the Handcent default.
System default is also set to this custom tone. I havent tried deleting and seeing what happens yet with new incoming
But I really needed custom tones because I get 911 texts for emergency dispatch and have special tones for it.
This just started happening after recent update I think.
Any suggestions

Is there a way to make the custom ring tones show up in the list of tones in the adavanced configurator? only the originals show up. Then if they did you can change the sms tone to a custom ring tone.
Ive been wondering this as well. Mine shows alll the sound files except for the custom ones ive added
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 want to use a different ringtone for sms/messages.
But the one I want to use doesn't come up in Settings.
What folder do I need to put that "ringtone" in?
It's currently in "ringtones", does it need to be in "notifications" Or somewhere else?
It should work if it's in notifications
thanks that doed it.

My mp3 will show up as selections. But when I receive a text, it plays one of the generic tone. Actually, doesn't matter what I select, it plays the same old tone.

SMS only notification
Is it possible to set up a separate notification for SMS.
Like most people, I want to know about SMS as soon as they arrive, its virtually a societal expectation at this stage! I can only seem to set event notifications, which is annoying, as these can go off in the middle of the night, eg emails, reminders of all day events etc.
if it IS possible to set a special SMS notifier, are there any sounds out there that mimic the urgency of the standard NOKIA tones, as opposed to the bland android ones?
mnt/sdcard/Notifications
is where the sound goes.
then as I said above for settings.
you could try Zedge for free sounds or search the interwebs for a sound you like.
Everything was fine until I realized I cant change my custom ringtone anymore. Whatever ringtone I set the custom one would ring even though it showed the other one is selected. So I deleted the ringtone and then was able to change it.
However only after a little while the phone just stopped ringing, the default tone seems to be silent and whatever I put it wont change. I put back my custom ringtone, rebooted, then deleted all the custom ringtones again and yet I am unable to get my phone to ring.
I have tried setting a ringtone through playerpro music player as well but to no avail.
The notification sound comes as normal. I am running stock unrooted 4.0.4. What should I do?
Figured out the problem. There were some specific contacts that did not have a ringtone assigned to them and my own second phone was one of them from which I was doing the testing. I was using a profile scheduler app previously and in that I had put some of the contacts on the whitelist to allow them to call me even on silent mode. So it was the app which was controlling those contacts and even after uninstalling it the settings hadnt defaulted.
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?
