BB Curve :: Setting Custom Ringtone For Contact (Call / Text Message)
May 30, 2011
I added a custom ringtone to a contact but the ringtone only works when the contact calls me. But when he texts me the ringtone is the same as the other contacts and I don't know how to make the msgs stick with the custom ringtone of the contact.
I've noticed that in hangouts, I've set an individual custom ringtone for someone, and every single time I reboot my phone, it resets that particular ringtone to the stock ringtone that I have set.
A couple of weeks ago I changed the default ringtone for my incoming text messages. It would work for some contacts but not others so I changed it on the individual contacts by going into their information. I have now tried changing it again but it does not work on one of my contacts. Text messages from other individuals work fine but the one I'm having problems with will only vibrate not ring. I've changed it in the default, I've changed it in their individual account info -- but nothing.
I set my wife's contact with a custom ringtone. Sometimes when she calls, the phone plays the custom ringtone. Sometimes she calls, and it plays the default ringtone.
I check the settings, and the custom tone is still set correctly. And the ringtone is on the phone, not on the memory card.
Today I noticed that when this happened, the phone started ringing the default tone while her cell number appeared on the screen, before the phone detected it was the contact with her name. Could it be that the phone delayed recognizing her number as being on the contact list, and therefore played the default tone?
Why when i have my headphones in the text message sound as well as incoming call ringtone play thru the speaker on the phone opposed to the headphones?
yet the key sounds when typing play through headphones, as well as the little man who politely reads a new message?
I have an iPhone 4 through Sprint. Yesterday I purchased a ringtone through iTunes on the phone, and assigned it to 1 contact. It shows as being assigned to that contact, however, when I get a call from that person, the default ringtone plays. I've since synced with iTunes on the computer, but I can't figure out why the assigned ringtone won't play.
If I'm in the text message app viewing a conversation, press menu key, call, all the contact phones numbers show as "Other". the contact phone numbers have the correct labels in the contacts app.
I want to have a custom text tone, but I can't figure out how. I've got ringtone and notification, but neither of those affect the actual tone when I get a text.
I couldn't find a thread with this specific problem. I have certain contacts that I have specific ringtones for when they call. But I don't want to have a custom text ringer for those people. Whenever I set a custom ringer for those contacts, it automatically changes the text ringer as well. Is there any way to only give them a custom call-tone and leave all text messages as the same tone?
Until a couple of days ago my blackberry message tone used to beep twice when a new message was received, and the ringtone would continue ringing until answered/gone to VM. Now it will only beep/ring once. (My daughter was playing about with phone so not sure if she has managed to change a setting). How do I amend the number of time phone beeps/rings?
I receive calls to my Google Voice Number in Hangouts (I only have a Data Plan/No Cellular Voice Plan). When an incoming call comes in, it uses the default Hangouts Ringer (which I don't like). However, I can't find anywhere to set the ringtone for Incoming Google Voice Calls ringing in Hangouts.
1) I can't seem to figure out how to set text message tones for each individual contact for my 8520? Is this possible? (I have the T-mobile 8520 Curve if that makes a difference?)
2) How do I update my operating system for my 8520, from the T-mobile network?
Is there a way to set a custom text message alert like you can a ringtone? (I'm already 90% sure you can't because I searched and found 2+ year old threads that say no, but I just want to know if there is any possibility of this now.)
As since the answer is likely still no, why do you think Apple still hasn't implemented this, especially since we now have iOS4? My concern is because while I love the default (tri-tone I think it's called), with so many friends and family with iPhones, it starts to get confusing for people (since nearly everyone around me uses this one as the others are meh).
I have been trying to set custom ring tones for certain callers. I have tried changing the ring tone by going to Contacts, selecting the contact, and changing the ringtone listed under Custom Ring Tones/Alerts for the contact. My Sound and Alert Profile is set to normal. I have also tried going to Sound and Alert Profile and clicking on Change Sounds and Alerts. From there I have selected Sounds for Contacts and tried to Add Contact Alert. After doing this my phone still rings with the ring tone for the Normal Profile. How can I ensure that the ringtone for the custom alert comes up for these contacts?
I wonder if anyone can help me. I am using the nokia 5310 and even though I am using a sim card with all my names stored in it, when I get a call or a text from someone who is in my phonebook it still just shows up as a number.
Also the names are not in order in my phone book.I am using this phone in Canada, and I got it from Ireland so the time on my incoming messages is 5 hours behind.So many issues!!
I have a little problem, if we can consider this a problem. When i receave a SMS from a friend X, my Blackberry lag (the screen doesn't change, for like 0.5 sec). But when I receave a SMS from let's say Y, it can take up to 5 to 10 seconds before the screen move or I can move with the track pad to see the message. It's annoying.
So here is what I think, Is this because.. : - I have over 35 000 SMS in the DB ? - I have like 100 SMS from X and 5000 from Y ? - My phone is on the vibrator but for Y he has a music ? - Is this OS 5 ? But he is faster then OS 4 and I updated a while ago ?

Lets say I'm on a call and someone texts me or emails me.. Is there a way to get the text message or email to make a sound while the call is in progress? And if so, how do I activate it?
A few days ago out of no where my phone stopped ringing in calls and text msg.The phone is on loud profile and when i put some ringtone it sais "An illigal ringtone was chosed, please choose another ringtone" - thow it's the same ringtone i used for like a year with this phone.how can i fix it?
I'm a new user and having gone through all the information I have, I can only find a way to set a ring tone for emails and calls. Is there anyway to custom set a tone for a particular contact for when they BBM me?
I dont know what I am doing wrong. All my ringtones show up for my incoming call tones but all my text tones or any other tone is just the default ones that came on the phone.. WHAT DO I DO???
I want newly received sms on top of inbox..but not able to do it. Earlier i used to get new sms on top of the all msg. but since i changed my simcard .. Also i hv downloaded internet setting but failed to understand where did it get saved?
How do u change the text regular ringtone on my 9700 bb I don't know how to do it I look every were in my phone an can I use a music ringtone instead of the regular tone
I want to be able to tell by the ring tone who is calling me. Can I do this with my Blackberry Curve 9360? I have downloaded the song I want to use but that's as far as I could get.
For some reason, when i scroll to the top of the messages between me and my daughter, the call button is not there. EMail face time and Contact are there, but no call. When I press contact I get her contact and her number is right there, face time and email work as well; but I cannot call her from the message screen.
Additionally when I sent her a text and she responds my text to her is not shown and hers shows us as a new sequence of messages.
i have balckberry curve 8520 ..but i can't make special ringtone for each contact ...i've found (Add picture) for contact ..there is no add ringtone ..
Just yesterday my Iphone started deleting my contact information once I call or text someone. The number stays on the phone but all of the other information saved with the contact (including their name) disappears. Im using a 4S latest IOS. Ive done several complete restores to attempt to solve the issue with no luck.Â
So I would like to know how to get the contact picture next to the text message. It would be cool to have people profile picture show up in the sms app.
