Hi
I did do a search. Anyway I am trying to set ringtones for specific callers. having mild luck but it is a pain. I tried several ways.
Settings -> MyDevice -> sound -> Ringtones -> Handcent -> Music
This works but sets only for global phone and it is just a list of all the music (1000 songs) alphabetically and you have to scroll (no search). Even if it had specific contact ones you would have to scroll through an alphabetical list. If I want to set Imnul Romania I have to scroll through several hundred songs.
music -> set as -> caller ring tone
this will work but is weird. Say I have one person (call him Benjamin Franklin) I want to set the ringtone for. When I go to phone and just input the first few letters it finds one and only one contact, Benjamin Franklin, and I can call. But when I do the music -> set as it goes to the contacts list and the same person is sometimes listed 6 or 7 times, a few with a g next to it, a few with a y next to it, etc. I have to set one and hope it is the right one and then repeat the above process 6 or 7 times.
If I go to the phone and dial enough to select the person and then do a settings I can change the ringtone but it is for the entire phone. I proved this to myself by selecting a person I have a ringtone for, going into settings and looking at ringtone and it was the default phone ringtone.
Rocket player sets only phone ringtone
Going to contacts and miraculously finding the right one does the same thing. You have to scroll through an alphabetical list. No search.
So what is a good way? I would like to find the person easily, search for the song, and if possible for one song as a ringtone select several callers at the same time.
As an aside, why do contacts list so many of the same? For instance, my college roommate Doug is listed as the same name in contacts about 7 times.
