I've recently upgraded to the Lumia 900 and have downloaded some sound clips which I would like to assign to various features like new mail, text message etc. However, it seems that I can only assign the downloads to contacts and not any other feature. Can I only utilise the sounds installed on the phone or am I missing something really simple?
As I'm slowly setting up my phone I've finally gotten around to ringtones. I'm having trouble assigning a specific ringtone to a specific contact. It appears that if the contact has a picture the option to change the ringtone is greyed out. All contacts without a picture I can change just fine.
Since I like to know who is calling without pulling the phone out of my pocket...this is really starting to bother me.
I am a new iPhone user and purchased some ringtones on iTunes. This then showed under Purchased items. I then proceeded to sync my phone and especially clicked on the tab that says ringtones to include that and clicked on apply. When I look on my phone and go into my ipod I can see the ringtones that I purchased under my playlists but how do I get them from my playlist to use them to assign them as ringtones to my contacts?
I'm sorry to be such a novice, but I got a Droid 2 tonight and have never had a smartphone before. I have my own ringtones under my music widget, but when I go into a contact to assign a ringtone, my only choices are the stock ones. Can someone tell me how to use the choices under my music instead?
So far I really love this phone, but I seem to have stumbled across somewhat of a glitch that I can't figure out yet. This "smartphone" doesn't seem to allow me what a simple BASIC phone always did....and that is to allow me to assign a different ringtone to specific contacts. I do see that it is an option however it won't save the change on some contacts, but it does on others. I select the contact I want to update, I tap the menu option, then select "Options." I open the Ringtone dropdown, select a new ringtone, tap OK....but when I get out to that previous screen - it once again shows the ringtone as default. I don't understand this. Why will it let me save on some, but not others? I compared one contact that didn't save....to another that did save. They both have the same type of info - a mobile number, an email address, a home address, a facebook link, and a birthday listed. One saved - the other did not.
I am trying to get the custom ringtones onto my 920 but zune does support the 920, how to transfer the mp3 tones so that the custom folder appears in the ringtone section. The phone is using windows 8.
Even on volume 1 my Lumia 800 is extremely loud whenever there is a beep, call, text etc. It gives me a horrible fright each time the phone gives me an alert.
On the Lumia 800, I have found out how to move sound files as Ringtones but how can I get it set as a message or alarm tone? I need it for noisy environments etc.
Just got my Lumia 920 and very happy with it... Ex Iphon user and BB for work, cut the SIM car, stuffed it in Nokia and Magic on the go.Anyway, findin my way arund it nice and easy. One thing though: how can I listen to Ringtone before selecting it for when poeple call?? When I hold finger on the tone I want, only option is to delete it.
I have had X6 for about a week now, previous phone was 5530 Illuvial. Now I am having a problem setting songs as ring tones, my previous phone was easy select song goto options, set as ring tone done. Now unless I am being thick I just cant seem to do this new X6 as east as that as far as I can tell you have to go via settings...Personal...Profiles...Options... Personalize.. Ringing Tone. Then yo have to scroll the WHOLE SONG LIST.
Also I have downloaded songs via Nokia and I can't seem to use those as a set ring tone(when I eventally find them!!!) says thay are locked. Somebody help me it is driving me up the flippin wall.
I'm anxiously waiting for the arrival of my new Nokia Lumia 1320 and was wondering if you can use your own music that is saved on your pc for ringtones?
Years ago I had a Nokia N8 and I was able to do this; I then upgraded to an Iphone which doesn't allow it.
I hate being blasted with notifications when I'm jamming out lol. Will this ever be a feature for windows phone? Its damn annoying to have the music blasting and get a notification that will blow out ur eardrums -_-
Just got a Bold for the wife and can't figure out how to assign a static IP address for my home Wifi.I was able to do it with my Style but I just can't remember how. Google search didn't turn up anything but I know it has to be possible
Is it possible to assign a shortcut key to my VZW Blackberry Tour for a non phone number?
In other words, I would like to assign the P key to turn bluetooth off/on as an example. I see where the Q key turns vibrate on/off, unsure as to how to program other keys.
As info, I already use the 2 side convenience keys for other things.
Right I have disabled dial from homescreen and I gone thru all the keys and not one of them opens up my sms inbox is there a way to assign it to a key not being used?
I have the 8320 & would like to assign ringtone for different contacts. I have many rigtones that i have made on my MC, I aslo understand the process of highlighting a contact in the address book & pushing the app button & selecting add custome ring tone. The problem is it gives me two options, (Device Memory & Preloaded Ring Tones) it doesn't allow me the option of searching the media card witch is where the rigtones that i want are stored. If I select edit contact, the option to assign ring tone is not there. Can anyone help?? (PS) I have searched the forums with no luck.
After installing Verizon's Android update, the ability to assign different notification sounds is either missing or buried. It is no longer an option under application manager, app settings or on the applications menu.
I have just gone from Sony Ericsson C902 to Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. On the C902 I was able to assign different ringtones to different contacts, but on the Xperia X8 I don't seem to be able to do this. Kath
I'm looking for a way to make my own ringtones (pick song, choose section of song I want, etc.) or a site that has a ton of ringtones ready to DL for free. The ringtones section of crackberry is nice but the quality of some of the songs I want is not good.
So now with the new OSs, we can't lock our phones this way. I don't know WHY. Anyone else with me? My main question is this: Can somebody make a custom OS with the old OS files which allows you to lock the keyboard with the left-side convenience key? Or can we swap them ourselves? Can an OS guru chime in on this? I'd like my left-side keyboard lock back
Any way to assign the unlock screen text shortcut in ICS to something other than the stock sms app? I prefer GoSMS and would like to assign the unlock shortcut to that if possible. I've tried around in the system settings and wasn't able to find anything there.
After reading the posts here about assigning a different texting app rather than using VZWs stock texting app, I decided to try it. I disabled the stock app, which DID remove it from the lock screen. It left a blank space. When I dragged down toward it, it opened the camera app instead.
I noticed in Manage Apps> App Info that there is a selection called Launch by Default/No defaults set, and a button marked Clear Defaults. This section is grayed out in every single app in manage apps; how to enable it? I'd like to disable VZW text messaging, and enable Google Talk in its place.
Secondly - after the ICS update, I now have multiple references to the same apps in Manage Apps>All Apps. There are three separate references for Backup Assistant Plus, and two for Google Maps. Looking at App Info, some are the old versions (pre ICS) and some are the new ones (post ICS). Is there a way to delete the old references and clean things up a tad?
I just got out of a live chat w a Motorola rep, and they had no answers either. Or maybe I should quit digging into the phone and just enjoy it? LOL it's like picking at a scab.
I have converted everything that needs to be converted, and the songs i have chose are in my "Ringtones" section on my iPhone, but when i sync the songs they still do not come up in my phone..? any ideas on what to do
I suppose its not that important and I could work around it by creating groups and giving them a personal ringtone but its messy so is there a way can edit a contact stored on the phone and apply a ringtone for that contact on the E51 and if so how can I do it as when i am editing the contact name there is a plethora of adress and other details but amongst them all I cannot see "ringtone" setting.
