is there not a way with the default contact program to make certain contacts as part of a "group?" I want to change ringtones for groups of people quickly w/o having to go into each individual contact each time i want to update my mp3 ringtones.
Any help?
No way to do it with the stock software set. You need a program like Contact Pro (or something like that). Google: WM6 Contacts Profiles
There used to a small simple program for WM2003 way back that did profile, but I think it went the way of the dodo.

I want to assign one ringtone to a group of people. How can I do this on the Tilt?
TIA,

you'll need some sort of ringtone or contacts manager to do it, so basically some software.
i don't know what software would specifically do only that, but i use photo contacts pro and it has that function, though its clearly too much of a program to accomplish something as simple as what you're asking. search pocketgear or handango...there's gotta be something free to do just that
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a program that will allow me to add peoples numbers in my call log to an appointment in my calendar. I would like to be able to long press and select add to calendar or something o that effect. I get tons of call for apartments and it's really a pain having to copy and paste the number every time. I would also like some time of program that will make appointments from the conversation I'm having over the phone. I thought I remembered something like that for BB a while back and I was wondering if there is something for Android. I have looked in the market place for apps like these but have found nothing. Can you guys suggest any or maybe someone wants to build one . These would be great apps for people like me who get tons of phone calls and need to set appointments.
Thanks
same here,but for WM...
I have them made from a previous Droid but how do I set them in the Captivate? I had an Epic 4G before this phone and it was simple. Go to contact, edit contact, assign ring tone. This phone dosen't have this option(at least the option dosen't show in the settings). Is it an AT&T vs Sprint thing or do I need my contacts in certain area?
EDITED: Ok...found my answer as to why I cant but dont know how to fix.....seems that you can not asign ringtones to contacts that are linked in some way...example... I have all my contacts linked to gmail for back up and to facebook.....but AT&T numbers that are not linked to anything, I can assign...now to figure out how to un-link my contacts from google and facebook
When you edit a contact, did you scroll down far enough? There is a field to change the ringtone.
ok...this is a bunch of crap...If I am doing this right...the only way to get a ringtone for a contact is for the contact to reside on your phone...not link to any other account....so, with that said, I reset my phone to factory defaults(had to in order to get rid of the Google linked account). Then applied ringtones to certain people just for a test. Presto...ring tones...Ok...now that that is done, I want to re-download my apps from the market. Guess what? You need to link your phone to Google to get them...so what happens?...all my contacts are now linked to Google automatically and can't assign ring tones again....Is this right...am I the only one?...I cant believe that Google and Facebook contacts take precidence over contacts that are directly on the phone?...is there anyone out there that can correct me if I am wrong?
From what I can tell you have to have the contact saved on your phone to assign a ringtone.
You can make a new contact on your phone and then link it to an existing Google contact. Then when you edit the contact you can set a ringtone. At the top of the Edit page there will be tabs to switch between the Google contact and the contact on the phone. You have to edit the contact on the phone.
There are apps that can export all of your contacts and save them as phone contacts. That seems to be the quickest way of doing this if you're going to assign more than 2 or 3 different ringtones.
Try it with one first to make sure it works for you.
Does anyone know of a straight forward way to set a ringtone for all numbers that are not listed in your contacts?
I am going to try out the free app Call&SMS Filter but it would be good if there was a way to do it without a third party app. All my contacts are from Google so there isn't even an easy way to set a ringtone for all of them as I'd need to setup an empty contact for all of their names, link it and then add the ringtone there.
The only way I can think of is to set ringtone "A" as the global ringtone under settings. Then go into your contact list and then set a custom ringtone for each contact. That way if a contact calls it reverts to the custom ringtone, and if a non contact calls you get standard ringtone "A". If you have a lot of contacts that could take quite a while to do. Thats the only way I can think of doing it, unless there is some app that would do it.
ok so I know the captivate won't allow me to choose which gmail contact groups to sync (although other phones do, wtf), and I've told it to only display contacts with phone numbers, and I've also chosen to display only a certain group.
my problem is when choosing a contact to send and sms to it shows ALL contacts so I have a bazillion sale****@craigslist.com to sort through... using the search allows me to find what I want, but as a bit of a perfectionist it bothers me that this one little hiccup is left in my setup.
is there anything to be done about this? I'm ok using a different contacts program, or even a different sms program, so long as this issue is resolved.
