Open the persons contact in the address book.  Pres the option button then scroll through the list until you see assign ringtone.  That should be all there is to it!

Well, I figured out what was wrong. It was the ringtone I downloaded from MediaNet. When I used the ring tones provided on the phone, I didn't have any problem. Does that mean I can only use the tones that are on the phone?

Can you set the ringtones you downloaded from MediaNet as the general ringtone (for the profile)?  Or do they not work there either?

 

So long as the file size is small enough (less than 300 kB) and you've stored it in the same folder as the at&t provided ringtones, you should be able to use others as well.

I can get the ringtone to work when I set it as a profile tone, just not when setting it to an individual or group. Only the tones on the phone worked for individuals or groups.

I'm out of ideas then - hopefully someone else with the E71x can take a look at their phone to see if only the ringtones preloaded by at&t can be assigned to/work for contacts/groups.

My suggestion would be to use Nokia PC Suite to transfer the ringtone to your phone, as it automatically converts it to the proper format and stores it to the proper folder on your phone that will allow you to assign it as a ringtone.  To do this, in Nokia PC Suite, open Nokia Music Manager, browse to the file (if you've downloaded the ringtone to your phone's memory, you can browse that), select it, and click Copy to phone.  As long as it's under 300 KB, it should then be assignable as a ringtone on your phone.

Thanks. I discovered PC Suite yesterday and downloaded it to my computer but haven't had a chance to play with it yet with the ringtone.

Another question: How would I even assign a ringtone to a person/group?



To assign a ringtone to a contact:

Click the Contacts shortcut

Open the contact

Click options (the left shortcut key) and select "Ringing tone"

 

To assign a ringtone to a group:

Click the Contacts shortcut

Click right on the d-pad to view Groups

Highlight (do not open) the group

Click options (the left shortcut key) and select "Ringing tone"
