Setting custom ringtones, blackBerry smartphones

Hello

I downloaded 3 ringtones for my 8320.  I tried to put ringtones customized for specific people.

I went to the list of contacts - edited my contact and apply a custom ring tone.

Then in the box - less advanced - profiles I tried specifying "use an active profile EXCEPT for: and selected the friend I assigned a specific ringtone."

When my phone rings that person or I receive an SMS on their part... It still sounds generic ringtone for all calls and sms.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the blackberry forums.  Ringtones ringtones and SMS are set up differently as my friends shared above.  I agree with JSanders, SMS is a bit complicated, but once you get the hang of it - it won't take you long!  It took me awhile to do - but I did it! I followed these sub JSANDERS management.

It's complicated for SMS ringtones, but possible. Follow the instructions here:

This work around will allow you to receive specific alerts for e-mail and messages from specific senders:

(Works with OS 4.2 and later)

1. go to the profiles on your BlackBerry and create a custom profile, naming the name of your sender targeted.

2. Edit and change the custom ringtones that you prefer for this contact message notifications, Messages of level 1, MMS, phone and SMS for this profile. You don't change things like the calendar, tasks, and Messenger alerts do not matter for individual users.

3. once all your ringtone settings are defined for the new custom profile, save the changes. Now, you will be in your list of profiles and see your customized profile that there are listed with the standard.

4. now click on the wheel, and then select new Exception.

5. title except for what you want (would be smart to again name the name of this particular contact).

6. in the line, click the trackball or trackwheel and select the user in your address book. They should show now in your line.

7 scroll to the bottom and change the option use the active profile in your custom group newly created profile.

8. you can dislodge the "Custom phone Tune" box if you already have a custom phone tune for this contact, or leave it and set it in the new custom as well profile.

9 save the changes.

Now once you have followed these for each SMS contact - click Save as indicated by the number nine.  Go back to your profile and click on normal or hard for the sound profile. Make sure that you have all of the exceptions already in your area of exception for those you did a SMS tone for. If you do, remove them so you your SMS does not work.  You can actually set your ringtones under each one that you set up as well. When you change your SMS sounds, you can click on the phone and change your ringtone to that specific one.  Hope you can understand this.

Each of us will be more than happy to help you, let know us!

Have a great day and good luck. Take advantage of your blackberry!

  • BlackBerry Bond cannot set custom ringtones

    I don't seem to be able to put ringtones for my Contacts. I go through the correct procedure and click on the desired ringtone and then nothing happens. If I click on save, I find myself with the original settings. The problem is not with the ringtones themselves, as I can put one of them as your ringtone Global - they do not work as custom ringtones.

    I'm doing something wrong?

    Sorted! I didn't properly, you must pass parameters, Notifications, the Notifications of Contact.

    Here's what I would do.

    For a bit of contacts I have, I want to put the ringtone to "cut". I can see how to add a custom ringtone, but how can I cut it?

    THX

    Check the attachment MP3 very short with the name silence.zip

    Unzip it. There is no silence.mp3 file.

    This is 1 second long silence mp3 file.

    Copy to the folder of your ringtone on your micro-sd card or your memory internal and assign this ringtone

    for a contact.

    When it rings - the silence.mp3 will play. And there are the recorded silence.

  • 9300 user - set up email - blackBerry Smartphones baffled - incorrect password error

    I hope someone here can shed some light ofn this because I spent 3 weeks trying to solve and I'm still stuck after literally hours on the phone to the network provider and explore every possible potential cause.

    About three weeks ago, I upgraded my Curve 9300 BB at 9380.  I copied settings using desktop software preconfigured and transferred to my new camera.  Applications reinstalled fine and I put five e-mail accounts, including 3 (business email) offered in a hosting account with Media Temple.  These all work very well and still do.

    My old phone had to be given to a colleague, so I reset the device and set all settings at default and follow the procedure for a new SIM card.  When we tried to put in place the enamel on the old device (9300) wouldn't giving the error message Impossible to verify the account contact email provider.  I am the administrator of the e-mail accounts so I know that the settings are correct., network provider resets all settings for email etc and account details BIS etc are all correct.  The e-mail account works through outlook and is accessible via webmail, and we tried changing password and even deleted and created a new e-mail account, but always the same problem - error message telling the user or incorrect password.

    I hope that it was a problem with the settings of the old appliance (9300) we could identify and address but it seems not to be that now when I try to put in place a new e-mail account on my new camera (9380) I get the same problem!  User password error - when data are 100% correct and on a device that I have successfully implemented the same type of email account!

    I'm completely puzzled and if anyone has or knows a similar problem and has information about this, or has managed to solve, I would like to hear that I've explored everything I can think of network hosts and email.

    You must call your provider to find out if the 9300 is properly registered on their network and on behalf of SIM card in the device. They need to confirm the good BlackBerry data Plan on this account, it is not unusual for them wrongly not do or provide incorrect data plan.

  • Cheek finished the normal ringtone blackBerry Smartphones ringtone

    This is an unusual situation.  I have this ringtone which is a song about a cartoon character.  Some children texted me and I recorded in my ringtones folder.  Later I tried to text to a few members of the family. On one of the attempts, she didn't not reach because I hit the wrong choice (don't know how).

    Anyway, since then, the song lights up constantly and plays throughout.  For example, if I get a text, the sound signal of normal text turns off.  But eventually, the song started playing and I can't stop it until he played through.  If I get an instant message from someone on Blackberry Messenger, the normal message sound alert goes off, but then the song starts and resonated throughout.  If I make a call, after I hang up the song goes out and plays throughout.  If I send an email, as soon as I hit the button send, the song goes out and plays throughout.

    Nothing I have tried seems to work.  I have checked all my ringtone and contact settings. I deleted the ringtone/song of my ringtone file and delete some messages and emails on phone where I sent it to myself or a family member.   Place the phone on silent doesn't seem to work.  Once the beginning of the song I can't stop until he plays every 30 seconds. Anyway, I still have the same problem and the song will not leave play.  So, I think you can see my dilemma.

    Someone at - it suggestions on how to solve this problem?  I thought that maybe it was a virus, but the person I know who has the ringtone has the same problem as me.  I recently installed a new update/upgrade of the Blackberry operating system.  Do you think that there is a problem with the update?

    To correct your problem first turn off your phone and remove the battery for 7 and 1/2 minutes to completely restart the hard disk. I myself was stupid enough to download enough porn for a year, so I have several viruses on my phone that I work currently through.

  • The number of changes of ringtones blackBerry Smartphones.

    I currently have my profile, the NORMAL value and the PHONE is set to "Vibrate + tone" in and out of the Holster. My ringtone is the RInger_ClassicPhone. I want it to vibrate and ring then a few time. It wasn't available on my previous phone, the curve. I would set the number of times to ring. Right now it vibrates twice only, then ring once and then only the LED lights.

    How can I change the number of rings?

    I had the same problem... I called the carrier (AT & T) and they told me that I could repair it only by them (signal software).  Maximum ringer is 6 or 7, and I opted for 6.

    I put my 'profile Loud' vibrate and tone and have no problem.

    I hope this helps.
