....is there any way that i can set categories in my Contacts, and then set ringtones for specific categories? is there a program out there that does so? i tried Photo Contacts Pro, but didn't really like it, so is there anything else that could do so?
What's wrong with using Microsoft Outlook.? When you open Outlook contacts to set up a new or an old contact for that matter, at the bottom right hand corner there should be a box for selecting and editing categories. Then sync.
I don't regularly sync contacts, but I can recommend Pocket Informant for your ppc and it dose a very good job of managing and editing categories.
yeah, i set up the categories and everything, but i cant assign ringtones to a specific category, which is what im attempting to do...
Use Phonealarm to assign category specific ringtones...
There is no way to set ringtones per category. Just set them for each contact.
Look for a small program called Tone Manager - you should be able to find it on www.freewareppc.com This does exactly what you need. Assign a ring tone to ALL contacts in a category. Hopefully you have categories assigned to all contacts
Hello
I have two questions:
1- is it possible to change the default folder for bluetooth. Now when i receive a file it will go directly to my documents under device. Is there a way to change this other than deleting the "my documents" and creating a new on on the storage card
2-What about SMS default view. When I go to messaging it will take me directly to outlook inbox while I wnat to go to SMS/MMS can this be changed. Is there some good application for SMS?
thanks
Hi everybody,
I was able to export all my outlook contacts into a csv file and then upload it to google so that i could sync my captivate.
It worked great!
the only thing that i'm having a problem with, is that since they're considered google contacts, it won't let me assign a ringtone to them or even separate my contacts into groups.
Now i know third party apps let me assign ringtones, but its kind of annoying that i'm more limited on options when they're google contacts and not contacts saved either on the SIM or on the phone's memory itself.
Does anyone know a way around this? i've tried playing around with the menus, but there's no option to just save them to the phone.
ok, so after playing around for the last hour or so, i've figured out the answer to my own question.
i exported the .vcf file from gmail, then imported it into the phone and that did the trick!
Hello...all my contacts came from my gmail so when I try to set a custom ringtone it shows no contacts. Is there a way to copy all my gmail Contacts to the phone? Or a 3 rd party apparently to set customized ringtones? Thx for the help!

Nobody knows?
When i play song in music player, i click "set as" caller ringtone, and it shows no contacts, even if I create one it seems as though I cant assign a ringtone for that particular contact, but it works fine if i set it as my ringtone (for everyone)
Are imported through Gmail contacts not the same as "fully-fledged", inputted into the phone contacts?
...I was about to load all of my numbers into my Gmail account's address-book, and sync. Now I'm not so sure that I want to. Partly for privacy reasons, I've kept segregated email and telephone—for years. Why make the leap now, if integration is not total...?
I've heard about an application called Google Sync. I wonder, would that be of any help?
Here is what I did. Sync contacts from gmail, in contacts hit menu and export to SD card. Copy file from internal to external SD. Hard reset to remove Google account. When resetting up your phone unchecked contact sync and them when in contact hit menu and import from SD

kind of weird and annoying why it isnt simple.
I found a way to copy them all to phone, so they show up. But when I assign them a ringtone, it doesnt work, despite a different song being chosen when i see them on contact.
Does song have to be less than 300k? i dont get an error or anything, just plays my default ringtone for all my contacts.
You can get around the 300k limit for songs. Simply create a folder on the root of your SD Card called 'ringtones' and copy the music files into there.
As for assigning custom tones to google contacts, RingDroid can do that.
Damn—you know, it's really cool that "there's an app for [everything]"—but some of these features really ought to've come standard in the OS... like, shuffling around icons on the dock, or, rearranging icons in a folder, or, placing folders within folders, or, allowing for %-indication of the battery in the status-bar.
Methinks tweakfreak users ought to be the first guys hired to field-test/QA these devices, and point out what's missing to the devs
Well ring droid worked great...many thanks!

MIUI 12.5.3 EEA original.
Using latest Google Contacts.
I can assign a ringtone to a contact (mid or mp3 doesn't matter) but when I receive a call from that contact the default ringtone is always played, not the one I selected.
Any suggestion, or it's this just another bug of MIUI 12.5.3??
Thanks.
Update
Apparently only contacts recorded in the Google account can have a selected ringtone.
And the contacts used by the contact app must be those of the Google account.
If using the local device contacts, individual ringtones for contacts can be selected but are not played anyway.
Never happened such a problem with all my previous phones, this is my first Xiaomi...
The only workaround for me was to select the ringtone for each individual contacts, works so far.
This works only if the individual contact to customize belongs to the Google account contact group.
If the phone is configured to use only contacts stored locally on the phone or SIM (not Google contacts, I don't like to give my contacts data to Google...) the individual ringtone selection is available but the phone ignores this setting and uses the default ringtone anyway.
I've just checked my Google contacts and there is 42 and my phone there is more than that and I'm sure my ringtone was changed and they have called me with my new ringtone. There are a few names not showing on my Google contacts, do you think they are hidden?
Probably you have to synchronize device contacts with Google contacts
