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?

The subject basically says it. I can't find a tutorial for my specific phone the Sprint Samsung Transform. I have downloaded my songs, trimmed them down, created the ringtones folder on the root of my sd card, and dropped the mp3s in there. went back to phone settings sounds and notifications. changed my phones ringtone, that worked. now i want to change the sound the plays when i receive a new text, but i cannot find the option to do that on the phone. am i missing something or is there a hack or anything that will enable this?
i found a sort of fix for this. change your notification ringtone to whatever you want your text message ringtone to be. the only problem is it makes that same sound for every notification. most noticeably when you plug your phone ino the charger. thats the best ive figured out tho.
I have no problem adding custom ringtones, but cannot for some reason see how to use custom notification sounds? What am I doing wrong?

I believe all you have to do is add a folder called notifications and put your sounds there. That should solve it.

I am having an issue getting the stock email app to recognize a different notification sound. No matter which one I select it always uses the same one and I can't hear it at all. I can't change it from within the email app either. Anyone else notice this?
does not support .ogg files

This has been driving me Bonkers! I have tried to move over notification sounds from my Galaxy Nexus and the problem I have run into is that this phone will not play .ogg files (open source sound files from what I understand). Like you said, it just plays the stock sound. The notification sounds and ringtones on this phone are all .mp4. So.... we will have to convert the .ogg files to .mp4 files.
Personalize app > Sounds Tab > Notification Sound > Email (default sound is 'Hint')
Unable to access custom ring tones in notification folder using the following:
Personalize app > Sounds Tab > Notification Sound > Email
Never mind, got it. RESTARTED phone and new ring tones (notification sounds) showed up in the list.
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.
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.
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?
