Custom Ringtone Contacts Not Possible?

---

Usually you can go in and edit the contact and chose a ringtone for that contact. Does the Captivate version of Android not do this? I'm not seeing it.

you need to have your contacts on the phone not google then you should be able to add custome ringtone.

I think what he's saying is that you're accessing your contacts that are on Google's server and not on your phone. Using Google Sync on the iPhone just pulls the contacts down to your phone rather than looking them up on the server.

I'm curious about how accessing Google's contacts works myself since I'll probably be switching from my iPhone to the Captivate tomorrow.

if that were true,i wouldn't be able to access them while in flight mode, which I can.

Funny thing is that I was running Android 2.2 on my Fuze, and I was able to assign separate ring-tones to the contacts that were synced. Can't do that on this version. I did download Ringo-Lite from the marketplace and can now assign rings and sms tones to all my contacts.

I can't even figure out how to do a custom ringtone in general...

I guess it's easy to tell i'm a first time user with android here.

I tried to use Ringtones but it only shows the local contacts (The ATT stuff).

Which all of this makes no sense to why you can't assign one to a Google Contact when I could on the iPhone... They're stored locally as well, so I don't see why this is impossible to do.
