Ringtones for individuals

[laidbackfreak]

Ok I've loaded some ringtone files and notifications on to my SD card currently in

/mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications

Now my ringtone I've set as default plays when the phone rings as does my notification for txt(Sms) messages.

But if I try to assign a ringtone to a user it reverts back to default.

Ps I've just tried picking one of the other defaults and it does the same thing, so I don't it the location of my files that's the issue.

Anyone else able to set individual ringtones for people??

Don't put the files there. Make new folders on the sd card for Ringtones/Notifications/Alarms & put your files in whichever folder you want the sound to be

The files appear in the lists ok and as I said I can pick them for default ringtone and messaging.

The problem is that I can not assign an individual ringtone to a specific person regardless of its one of my own or one of the inbuilt ones.

try taking out of the folder you put them in & making folders like I suggested & then try it & report your findings.

Nope no difference. I still can not assign any alternative ringtone to an individual.

I can see the list and select anything, it plays and then soon as I hit ok, it goes back to the contact details and shows as default.

hmm that's odd. I don't know what to tell you. If someone else doesn't come up with a solution you may want to try a hard reset

have you rebooted since moving the files? Just a though.

Yep a soft rest was the first thing I did.

No biggie for now I'll keep digging around and see if I can figure it out, if not hard rest.

cheers guys

my custom ringtones are in a folder called "media" on the root of my sd card. with four folders inside notifications, ui, ringtones, and alarms. I have a separate default ringtone for calls then I have multiple contacts with different ringtones and my text app and gmail app both have separate ringtones. I have had no issues...

Use your Music app v3.0.211... to do it !
It has a colored note as an icon.
