I just found the fix, over on Android Forums. Apparently, you can't assign ringtones to your google contacts. You have to create a duplicate "phone" contact, and then you can assign a ringtone. A bunch of horse $hit, if you ask me, but that's what I'm in the process of doing at this very moment.

I agree. I've also been joining Google contacts to FB contacts to get pictures.

On the other hand, so far I haven't had a single problem that CM6 wouldn't cure! (Or at least a nice AOSP FroYo)

Seems there ought to be a way to have your Google contacts sync directly to the phone, instead of that bizarro "Google contacts" group.

Are you guys sure? I can set it by going to the contact, clicking the menu soft-key and choosing Edit - then Ringtone.

I've also found "Ringo Lite" works just fine to do the same.

I'm sure this is not a phone contact I've done this on.
Yup, sure of it. Just double checked, A contact which has he "g" icon next to it doesn't have the "ringtone" field. On the other hand, the little orange icon (phone) does have it.

I also checked out Ringo Lite and it seems to be the easiest and best alternative for the time being.

assigning ringtones to contacts

I use the app Zedge, which is great for notifications and ringtones... it will allow you to "set" contact tones after you download them..
