Unable to Assign Ringtones

Greetings!

I'm new to this forum, but was hoping someone has an answer to my problem. I just got my new Droid Incredible this week, and am trying to assign different ringtones to different contacts. I go through the process, call up the edit contact info, assign a new ringtone, and then when I go back to look at the contact, it reverts to the default ringtone. WHY? Only a few contacts allowed me to change ringtones, but the majority revert back to default.

Can anyone help?

Thanks...

UPDATE: After probing the problem some more, I'm finding that the only contacts I can assign ringtones to are the ones who are my friends on Facebook, which is only 10% of my contact list. Does this help?

Thanks...

Tones can be assigned to any contact you have.

Are you trying to attach ringtones from those preloaded to the phone or tones you brought over from another phone? If you are bringing them over, let me know and I will walk you through it.

I've tried assigning both pre-loaded ringtones and ones I created, and neither can be assigned to contacts that are not Facebook friends. I went to the Verizon Store, and they didn't have a solution, either. They think it could be an OS issue that might be resolved with an update, which isn't available for Droid Incredible yet.

However, if you have any other suggestions, I'll try anything.

Thanks...

If the different ringtones are on your SD card, Go into programs and choose "Music"

Music will show album covers. Choose the "List" option (Three horizontal line button.

See if the ring tones are listed. If so click to play it. Now hit Menu" and choose "Set as Ringtone" From this page you can choose a ringtone for the phone, a contact, or there is an option to take a loaded song and trim it into a ringtone.

Click ringtone for contact, choose the contact/contacts you want the tone for and hit save.

If not listed scroll to the bottom of the list to, "Unknown artists" the ringtones will be in that folder. Follow the instructions above to set for a contact.

Any questions, give me a holler.

For preloaded ringtones, Choose people, from the main screen, choose your contact, click on down arrow for ringtones, choose the ringtone you want. And hit OK. It work for FB and non FB contacts.

Hi... I too am having problems with my Droid, Incredible 2 assigning ringtones. I can assign my ringtones (downloaded from Zedge or VZW) on about 1/2 the folks I want to, but the other half will simply not let me assign an individual tone. For example, my 18 year old, downloaded a Sublime song and I try to assign it to his contact and it simply doesn't do it. But my husband's song that I downloaded from VZW is there and works fine. Or my dad's Marine Corp Song from Zedge won't load, but my mom's silly ditty about "Your mama's on the phone..." from Zedge works great. I have only downloaded about 8 apps on my phone - Beat the Traffic, Facebook, the Droid Market, VCast Song ID, ESPN's ScoreCenter, Angry Birds, IMDb and ShopSavvy. No task managers or ring tone apps that would interfere with the assignment. I am at a loss. Can anyone suggest things.

Yes - I have tried the *228 update and taking the battery out and resetting. Dunno any other clever tricks...

Thanks....
