General :: Custom Email Tones For Specific Contacts
Jul 21, 2012
I have been a Blackberry user for years, and finally ditched my old berry friend, for a Galaxy Nexus. Thus far, I have had to Google how to's for everything I've wanted to customize: ie ringtones, changing default tones, even the colour of my sms window. I've been able to figure everything out, but am stuck on creating custom tones for emails from specific contacts. With my trusted berry, custom tones for email and sms were linked together for my contacts. So whether I received a txt, or an email from "John", I would hear the specific tone I'd set for him. With my Nexus, I've learned the same is not true. I can only customize contact sounds for sms (and of course, only with an App, I really like Ringo btw). Emails, not so much. They all come in under the one tone, regardless of who it was from.

My boyfriend has two email accounts on his phone. He wants to backup his personal contacts to his personal account and his more important contacts to his other account. When he tried to do this it doubled the contacts on his phone. (Basically went from 50 contacts to 100 contacts).
Is there any possible way of doing this?

Is there a way to have a different tone for each contact on the stock android or with sense? I had a dumbphone back in the day that could do that, but my current lg versa doesn't and I have always wanted it. This is my first dive into android so I don't really know what comes stock and what doesn't.

I am very new to Android (using non-rooted LG Nexus 5) and am having a great problem finding a feature that I depended on regularly with my Blackberry.
I occasionally receive an email from an automated server that indicates an emergency with one of the systems I manage. In Blackberry, I had setup a custom notification based on the email source address, and it would play a custom ringtone (Star Trek Red Alert) at top volume whenever a email from that contact was received. Android only allows custom "ringtones" on a per-contact basis, but these ringtones are only used for phone calls. There is no similar setting for SMS/MMS or Email messages that I can find on Android. I think it is strange that it is not part of the base functionality -- I am beginning to suspect it is a patent issue and it never will be added.
I can't find a good third-party application to provide this additional feature for email.I have tried several and found none adequate (for example, they fail with "Unfortunately has stopped.", they create separate connections to email servers and suck the battery dry, or they are built for SMS/MMS only).

When I go to sleep for the night, I'd like the texts or calls from specific contacts (family members) to 'ring' through to my Galaxy Note 2, and have the texts or calls from all other contacts not 'ring' me while I'm asleep.

In general, Are most of Custom ROMs device specific?
My problem is: If i buy an android mobile which is not popular, can i upgrade to new Custom ROMs?
For Upgrading Custom ROMs, do we need PC suite applications or any other application from the vendor? The mobile i am planning to buy has no vendor support.

Just got my Hero and wondering are there any apps to allow you to specify different sms tones for individual contacts? Would be nice if I could switch off alerts from certain contacts, and give custom tones to individual contacts?

I originally had an incredible but my fiance like it so much I swapped with her for the original moto droid. Well before that I had no problem putting custom alerts for email and text messages. Well now I have my own Incredible and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it again. Was something changed when the update to froyo went through or something? Someone help me out...I can't stand the preinstalled sounds.

Now that we're a month in to the official 2.1. Is there a way to have individual alert tones for different SMS contacts, just like you can have different ringtones for voice contacts?

I used to have this app that let me set different text (and ring) tones to different people. And also set different email tones too. Long story short my droid broke now i have a new one and cant find this amazing life saving app. Does anyone know what it is? Or have a similar app? (it's not ringdroid)

I want to change the sound I hear when receiving a SMS message. I have successfully downloaded the BB sonar sound that I want to use.
I can't find the place to set the custom tone.
I see the list that the dx provides but no custom option.

I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 - very nice looking device - to replace my old and clunky Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. And I want to transfer all my phone contacts across. On my Xperia, I've got "Phone contacts", and gmail contacts. I tried to import all my phone contacts by first exporting them to a simgle file, and transferring that file to the Samsung. And now I've got this vast list containing, it seems, everybody who I've ever called or emailed, including various names who I don't recognize at all. Is there any way (maybe a specialized app) of keeping my phone contacts and gmail contacts separate? And how do I manage my vast list of contacts?

I was a BB user before I switched to the EVO. I am really digging the EVO and Andriod. Loving the fact the I can finally go on the internet on my phone, but I am missing one feature from my BB. I was able to setup different ring tones for each of my 6 email accounts.

I did a search in the captivate forums and couldn't find this one. I'm trying to set the tone for text notifications.If I go to Settings>Sound>Notification Ringtone it only gives me the pre-loaded sounds.If i go to the sound file in my phone and click "set as" it only gives me options for voice call ringtone, caller ringtone, and alarm tone.

I have my default ring tone set. I then went under contacts and set certain ring tones for my wife, family etc... I had my wife call me and it rings with the default ring tone. I have tried everything and nothing seems to change. Anyone that calls that I have a preset ring tone for, it just uses the default for the phone.

Is there a way to make custom ringtones easily and send them to your phone? This is my first real smartphone (had a Storm gen 1 before this, it didn't work often enough for me to consider it my first) and I'm enjoying it but I'm a bit of a nub.

How do I go about emailing all contacts within either the default contacts app or Gmail?
As it's a phone/tablet, the browser version of Gmail (Desktop) often crashs and isn't suitable for contacts work - is there a way to do it otherwise?

I have downloaded a bunch of email notification tones from Zedge to use with my email, I got into the settings, set the right tone to be used, then go out of the settings. The problem is that if I go back into the settings it defaults back to the "Droid" tone and does not keep the one I want.
