Xperia X8 :: Assigning A Specific Ringtone To A Contact Sony Ericsson?
Dec 15, 2010
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.

This is probably a n00b question, but is there any way to assign a specific ringtone to a specific contact? I just switched from an LG Lotus, where I was able to give each contact a specific ringtone. I'd love to be able to do that with my Style..
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 using w995. how can i lock(with password) the particular folder like messages or photos.And how can i stop recieving calls from specific person(number) who is disturbing me or simply how can i blacklist the numbers.
I have a Sony Ericsson Elm. I use it for both business and personal calls. I see I can set categories of contacts and set different ringtones. What I would like to do is, say, when on holiday/weekends set the phone so that I do not hear a ringtone for work related numbers. I would still like to receive the call (go to voicemail) but not be notified when the call is actually incoming.
Trying to set my own music to ringtones and its not working. Tried converting to wav file and shortened to 30 seconds that didn't work, converting shorter version to mp3 didn't work. How do I make it happen? I have a W518a.
Is it possible to use my mp3s on the micro sd as a ringtone/alarm signal? I have followed the guide on this site (menu>settings>sound&alerts>ringtones) and this brings me to a music folder containing 2 folders (ringtones & my radio recs) but no mp3s. Do i need to put my music into the ringtones folders?
Tthe tittle sayz it all! I have music and audiobooks in mp3 format and when i choose TRACKS they apear all togheter. filtering them out by playlist isnt a option because i update my music frequently and i dont have time 2 insert any new song in a "MY MUSIC PLAYLIST". in the manual it sayz that when u select TRACKS it only shows you the music without the ringtones and that's not true.
Yesterday I found out that my phone does not ring when there's an incoming call although it's not in silent mode. I have checked everything I know and set the ring volume to max.
Have no ring tone (or speaker sound) on my W300i? Before junking it, am trying to reinstall W300i software using SE Update Service. Does anyone know where to find, and install phone driver(s) that work?
I have a very strange issue with sending texts. When I select a contact to send the message to, the phone shows the message as going to someone else, the next one up in my phone book, rather than the one I wanted. This doesn't happen all the time but is incredibly annoying, and only seems to clear if I switch the phone off and on again.
How can I move the old contact registred in P990i to vivas pro. BTW, the remot sync that provided by sony Ericsson via website not aplicable with 990i I tried many times but not working. Also, I have backup in PC sute. put how can I move it to Vivas pro?
I got a Hazel phone and recently I just found a problem. When I turned off my cellphone and turned it on again, I found that contact names don't appear in messaging (inbox, sent, etc), instead, they were shown as numbers (how do you expect me to memorize all the numbers @_@). I tried to restart it, sometimes it worked (the contact names appear), sometimes it does not.But when I tried to call, the names appeared Does anybody know what's wrong with my hazel?
Does anybody know how you get the contacts picture to display when receiving a text message? I have all numbers prefixed with the national code so it isn't that causing the problem.
I do have a new Vivaz Pro. With my old P990i I am used to get a question of do a calendar entry when I did a new contact with birthday date. I am quite disappointed to see than in a new mobile like Vivaz Pro there is this function not integrated. I hope a lot of people would like this function back too. And SE would implement this in a new firmware upgrade.
My daughter's phone has started doing something very strange with her contacts - if you enter a number and save it - when you go back to that contact the number has changed - it seems to another number in her address book - it's really bonkers. The phone is only a couple of months old - should we send it back or is there anything we can do? Also she says she has problems hearing people she calls but his is probably a different issue.
I use Elm. While writing a text message, I often need to insert someone's number from contacts list. For this purpose, I should be able to look up contacts while writing a text message, and insert the required number in that message. I know many vendors do provide such mechanism. Is it not possible in case of SE?
I have too many numbers to fit on my SIM to move to the Aino, so is there a way I can bluetooth them from my C905 onto the Aino? I cannot remember for the life of me how I did it last time, but yesterday lost everything after doing a software update from Sony! Luckily still have numbers on old phone!
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?
My phone was working properly. Then it went to a screen with the following message: "Configuration error. Please contact your network or service provider". The phone can receive incoming calls, but that is it. I have tried the update service. Result - Your phone has the latest software update.
Using the SE PC Suite, and connecting by using the USB cable, a list of folders is displayed which are empty. Using the "Phone Repair" from the SE PC Suite, and after following the instructions, the only result is - "Update Failed". Please can someone assist me in sorting out this problem?
With other BB's, I was able to assign a different ringtone to each of my contacts. I cannot figure out how to do that with the 9650 I just received from work.
Basically, I want one ringtone for all calls except for the contacts where I have assigned a different ringtone for them.
