Different ringtones for different contacts

[jdennington]

Is it possible to assign a seperate ringtone for certain contacts? I have trawled through the user manual trying to find anything at on this but it shows nothing. I dont know whether this would require additional software to be installed or not so am looking for any pointers on this. I have tried to search on this subject but each time the results that come back are totally varied and dont mention this issue. Any help much appreciated

if you dont want extra software:
in the contact details, there is a field under mobile tel that says ringtone.
sadly you cant mute or set to vibrate only
but i think there is a prog (iirc phonealarm? someone verify on this please) that will do exactly that.

Yes. Phone alarm will do that. Doesn't do black list yet, but can also do separate tones for contacts SMS's..

Other alternatives....... Photo Contacts Pro (PocketX). Smartfilter Pro (Novosec),

But, as mentioned above, you can assign ringtones to specific contacts.

Hi Toufas, tha's exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks, if thats in the user guide, I must need better specs :eek:

i assigned specific ringtones to some of my contacts but its this morning did i realize that the default ringtone still applies whenever those people call.

i have a 6.1 rom. do you guys think this is the problem??

I can recommend Ringo. You can set ringtones to your categories if syncing with outlook, set up specific message tones and customise with your own mp3, wavs etc...

So does "Ringo" or any similar software allow us to create a category of contacts (personal, business) and assign each category a ringtone?

Also, I have recently switched to PocketPCs. I have a Tilt phone running 6.1 cooked ROM. I should say, Nokia phones give a much better profile and call management options than these phones, hands down! Nokia gave me a silent button I could use to mute the ringtone but let the call continue. This is very helpful in case you forgot to switch it to silent and the phone suddenly ring. You don't always have to ignore the call. Can HTC Tilt do something like this?

Also, one more thing I miss is the vibrate + distinct beep sound Nokia phones have. That beep is heard even when you are considerably away from the phone, very nice sound. So I want to create a vibrate profile on HTC Tilt with a sharp beep sound. Can this be done?

Sorry for so many questions in this thread, but simply did not want to create a new one.

My TyTN II used to have a Silence button when I was running Garmin's DK.3 rom... I do not know about his new roms, but since I've started running AthineOS, I have lost the silence button... dont know yet if I personally miss it, but it means that it does exist...
