Custom Ringtone for a Contact on Blackberry Priv

[Dedra L]

Is there a way to set a custom ringtone for a specific contact on Blackberrry Priv. I had the Z10 and I was able to have a custom ringtone assigned to my kids. I cannot seem to get this to work on the Priv. Please help and this is a deal breaker for me.

On the contact you want to change the ringtone, tap the pencil icon (edit), then tap the menu (Three dots in upper right hand corner), tap Set ringtone (obviously the option you want).

Hello PapaGary. I tried that and it saved that the contact was saved. But when they call, it still calls to the default ringtone.

I found that I had to save my custom ringtones to the device memory (Notifications folder), not the SD card. Then I was able to customize using a ringtone from the Notifications folder, and save the contact.

If you're looking for sound and color, take a look at Light Flow from the Play Store. I'm pretty sure that you used to be able to set custom notifications by contact with Light Flow. It's similar to the old BeBuzz from BBOS. I've not used it in a while now, and they've made some changes, so I can't say with certainty that it will still do the trick. There's a free version to try before you buy.

It's not really all that easy to configure though (you're left to kind of bump your way through it), but you can do it with some puttering around in the app. It also used to be a bit of a resource hog. That may be better now. Good luck.

I also discovered that I had to change the what's app notification separately from the main contact entry.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

This worked for me, after you have selected the ring-tone then click the 'tick' icon next to edit and it should work

I found you have to have the stock contacts app set up so in order to set custom ring tones. They seem to sync together.
