Hi all,
I'm looking for an app to backup restore apps audio ringtones profiles. I haven't set-up different audio level profiles depending on either location or time of day because I'm waiting to solve this issue first. I currently have separate ringtones for these functions:
Calendar: one ringtone
Tasks: 3 ringtones depending on assigned task priority
Messaging: one ringtone
Phone: one ringtone
Email: one ringtone
I use separate apps for different functions but most ringtones are set by their counterparts Android stock app:
aCalendar+ to manage my calendar but the ringtone is set in the stock calendar app
Sliding Messaging Pro for SMS messages with ringtone set by the stock messaging app
BHive Google Tasks which sets 3 different ringtones depending on the task priority, low, medium or high.
PixelPhone PRO as dialer and contacts management. I don't have (yet) different sound profiles per contact. I'm waiting to solve the general sound notifications before fiddling with this. Thus, the phone ringtone is set by the default android app.
Gmail sets the ringtone for incoming emails
I don't know why but the system (4.2.2) regularly resets everything to the Messaging ring which in turn has been reset to the phone's default ringtone. This issue happens even if I use or only have the stock apps installed for Calendar, Messaging and Phone.
Thanks for any suggestion for a paid or free app that could help with my issue.
I think you can use this app for backup:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
It should also backup your audio preferences.

Hi SourceGecko,
I installed Helium as advised but could not get the program to detect my phone on Windows (64-bit). I have an Alcatatel One Touch IDOL S 6034R. My computer detects the phone in USB mode just fine, naming it as "Android Device". I don't understand why Helium requires such usb connection before doing anything. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

Hi.
I have big problem with my new samsung galaxy s.
v 2.1 installed and handcent sms
in hancent sms I have customized my sms sound - simple mp3 file. It plays only when the new message comes from one person. When I receive sms from unknown number (out of contacts), phone plays the default notification sound.
Is it possible to set one default sound for all incoming text messages? How to correctly manage all the sounds (including the calendar reminder/notification) sound?
I've read that in case of calendar sounds problem it is a big issue.. is it ?
-----------
I have found how to set default ring/sound for sms (in handcent sms settings). I think the notification sound has self changed while I was trying to change sounds in android default sound settings menu.
The question about one sound/ring-tone management software stays. It is annoying that in stock phone software is no possibility to manage normal settings....
coming from a BB, my cell is all i use, is there a way at night i can shut off all sound notifications except the phone itself? i dont want to be woken up all the time with emails coming in, and or texts..
is there an option? or an app? widget?
thanks!
The best suggestion I can make is a app called Setting Profiles. The Light version only allows for one profile while paid version allows for more.
One can make profiles based on location, time, calendar events, etc. I use it to silence my phone when I have meetings indicated on my calendar.
Two more apps are PhoneWeaver (auto and manual switching) and Quick Profiles (manual switching only).
One more app you can check out with auto changing of sound profiles is Sound Manager. Works very well.
I know there are a number of profile-type applications but as far as I know these apps set profiles that change the alerts/vibrate options only for the default Android system-wide phone or notification ringtones.
I'm looking for an application that can change the alert tones for all my individual email accounts in the gmail app, google voice, the default email app, and the phone ringtone as well. Does any such application exist? At work, I've been leaving my phone on vibrate but I often don't feel the alerts and I can't differentiate b/t the type of alerts as they are all the same. I'm hoping to have a "work" profile that uses generic pager-type sounds so that I can hear the alerts as well as be able to differentiate what type they are--ie. which email accounts are getting new email or text messages which I'm more apt to respond to quickly. This work profile is separate from my usual alert sounds, which are musical in nature and not necessary professional or fitting in this environment whereas pager tones are much more common place in my place. I don't mind manually switching profiles, the application just needs to be able to change all of them at once via some type of widget.
Thanks!
I don't believe you can get quite as specific as individual email accounts, but you can set the notification sounds to be different for each of the apps (i.e. email vs gmail vs voice vs SMS). For instance, in both Voice and GMail apps, when you go into Settings, there is an option to "Select Ringtone" in the section for Notifications settings. There should be something similar in whichever SMS app you use (even the stock messaging app, IIRC) and possibly the EMail app (I only use GMail so can't say for sure, but I would imagine so)...
you can actually change the alert tone for each individual gmail account via the settings menu when you enter each account's inbox. regardless, i already know how to do this. what i want to know is if there is a profile program that can change ALL of these settings in one fell swoop that way i can change from a work setting to a normal setting via some sort of widget.
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?
I am stumped. S22 Ultra recently replaced due to hardware issue. Used Cable-connect Smart Switch to transfer all data and settings,
Android 13, OneUI 5 All s.w up to date
Situation. Assume Default ringtone is X
Desired Ringhtone for ONE contact is ECHO
Other Ringtone is WHISTLE
RINGTONE selection is via Samsung contacts App as Google Contacts odes not support contact-specific r/t selection,
For some reason the transfer of settings was incomplete. For ONE contact alone, I wish to have ECHO as the tone, instead the Phone plays WHISTLE, and I don't know why, ECHO is an OGG file visible in the Ringtone folder and plays correctly via any correct app. And I cannot locate WHISTLE using MyFiles app.
I have tried removing the contact and power down restart the phone. I have not reset the App Cache
UPDATE: I determined that the originator of the wrong ringtone is an old S8 App called S8 Ringtones. It was used to associate the wrong ringtone with the contact. The S8 App is now removed, however the incorrect association remains.
THOUGHTS?
