Default SMS Ringtones Anyone?

I got my Tour a few days ago. I wanted to set different SMS ringtones for different contacts, so I went to my contacts and I set one up for my sister. She texted me after and the ringtone worked fine but every text after that played her specified SMS ringtone and not the standard one I set for SMS. I set another one for my boyfriend contact and then had him send me a text. Again, it worked fine but every text after that (THAT DID NOT HAVE A SPECIFIED SMS TONE) played his SMS tone and not the one I set for standard SMS alerts.

Help Please Somebody!!

I am having a similar issue, but not the same. I downloaded a bunch of ringtones from here and set them as standard tones for the ringer, SMS, and email alerts. Worked fine for a few days and now today it doesn't play any of them and they say they are invalid when I try to manually play them now. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have an 8330, so not sure if it is the same on the Tour, but I don't believe you can set a different sms tone for different contacts. You can set a different ring tone for individuals.

On my 8330 I can set a particular sms tone, but that is what will play for every sms that comes in.

I selected my own ringtone and sms tone in my normal profile. but then I have a few people with different ringtones. when i set those contacts with a different ringtones, their SMS tone that sounds is the phone's default SMS tone. I just went to those specific contants and added the SMS tone I use for everyone in that contact's SMS custom alert.

Hope this helps...

Question Opposite Problem with text alert sounds

I have the exact opposite happening to me ...I set specific alerts for sms texts from my children and use another alert tone for all other sms texts. This works fine for a few hours each day and then out of the blue, the specific alert I have set for my children's texts plays for all of my text alerts. Go figure. If I do a battery pull or use quick pull, it works again for a while and then goes back to misbehaving ...any ideas ?

I have the same problem on my verizon tour. It annoys me and I haven't been able to fix it. I have reset the tones and reassigned but no luck so far.

maybe it's an OS bug? my changes take effect only after a battery pull, BUT sometimes, i'll hear the previous ringtone, but it switches back

I actually have this set and have had it this way since day 3. No issues. I wonder what you all have in common with your tours (i.e, apps, mods,)

Erm, as I remember the current version of the 4.0 OS out has a bug with assigned alerts. Search the rest of the forum there is some more official verbage out there.
