    After years of wondering in the Android desert I'm thrilled to be home again.

    I can't tell you how much I like this phone, but there are two things that are driving me crazy (granted it's a short drive, but still). So if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

    1.) How do I set specific ring tones for specific contacts? I go into the contact, view detals, hit the edit icon (little pencil), Ringtone and Notification, but then the only option it gives me is "Default/Off/Active".

    Love Q10...but NEED help!-img_00000024.png

    The default and off options are obvious, but when I select the active option it just sets the ringtone to a simple boing boing boing type of sound.

    What am I missing?

    2.) When I add an event to my calender it always sets it an hour ahead. I live in the Mountain Time Zone, my Q10 is set to the Mountain Time Zone, I set an appointment at 1:00pm Mountain Time Zone but it always sets it in calender at 2:00pm MTZ.

    Love Q10...but NEED help!-img_00000025.png

    This seems like such a simple thing, I can't believe I can't figure it out! Please help!

    Thanks everyone, any help on either or both of these would be greatly appreciated!

    Edit: I don't know if it matters but I'm running 10.1.0.4651.

    unfortunately you can't set specific tones for individual contacts.....hopefully that will come.
    I can't help you with the time zone problem..sorry, but I'm sure someone will

    Sorry dude, but you're on your own with the calendar thing.

    I can bail you out on the notifications for contacts.

    Select the contact in your "contacts" menu, and scroll the whole way to the bottom, and pick ring tone and notifications. From there, you can change the ring tone, vibration sequence, and LED behavior. I'll let you see what else.

    The appointment thing may be just an accidental oversight on your part. Because of the layout on the screen you may be tapping "End Time" and setting that instead of "Start Time". If you change the "End Time" to say 3pm it will change the "Start Time" to 2pm for one hour prior by default. Just make sure you are definitely tapping "Start Time". Sounds ridiculous but I've done it many time.

    Thanks for the responses, but I'm still struggling.

    RADE, I've gotten to the same place that you recommend, but when I get to the Phone Ring Tone drop down list my only options are only "Default /Off/Active".

    I don't have any other options (i.e. browse music, browse device, etc.). What's strange is the fact that the hub lets me browse other files for different ringtones/music files for other apps like (the dreaded) Facebook/Twitter but I can't seem to change ringtones for my phone. It's beginning to look like I may need to wait for 10.2 (please don't tell me to wait until 10.3, although I probably would).

    The calendar thing is REALLY weird. If I change my time zone to Arizona (same as Mountain Time Zone but AZ doesn't use Daylight Savings Time) then I don?t have the problem. It's annoying but at least I have a work-around. However, if anyone can figure out a better option PLEASE let me know.

    As always, thanks for the help and GBA.

    Cheers!

    Wow, I wonder what I'm doing wrong?!

    Do I have to save my ringtones to a special folder?

    Right now they are on my SD card that I moved over from my RAZR HD Maxx.

    I opened up the contacts app > pick a friend > hit the pencil thingy to edit > scroll down & click "ring tone and notifications" > go to "phone ring tone" > there's "Default", "off", and a list under "active" with Blackberry's Tones + Your own songs.

    i have my songs on my sd card in a folder called "Music" and inside there is a sub-folder called "tones", but both my tones & songs show up. I have the Black berry Q10 software 10.1.0.273 (never updated ever) for T-Mobile. Never used blackberry links either. Just drag & drop my songs from Computer to SD card via micro USB wire.

    I had this same issue. Other ring tone options are there, you have to SCROLL up to see them underneath "Active" e.g.

    Ding ding ding! That was it! I can't believe I couldn't figure that out on my own, I feel like an *****.

    Now if I can just figure out the schedule issue I'll be even happier!

    Thanks everyone!
