^^Yeah, I did the same thing. I bought a MicroSD card and put all of my ringtones and songs on it, which was better because it wasn't taking up all of the space on my phone. That happened to me a while ago, too. I had assigned ringtones to the people in myFaves list and they weren't working. I had to go back to myFaves and reassign them.
 
I may have found a solution. I deleted all of my custom rings from address book entries, myFaves and the profile screen. Then I added a custom ringtone on myFaves by selecting the address book entry. Then I took out the last name, leaving just a first name for the myFaves entry. That has worked for now.
 
Wow..........this is a pretty complex problem i think its a problem with the blackberry software hopefuly they send out an update some time soon cuz i put a ringtone for my friend on my my faves and tried to change it but it always plays the original ringtone
 
Ok I am about to get the bb pearl? question white or black? Then is it worth the effort? My 20 month old son cracked the screen on my 7105t!! I wanted to upgrade, but I was not sure, so I guess he made the decision for me!! LOL So I am having to upgrade anyway!! Please send feed back to [email protected]. I am on PS alot anymore very busy...Thanks guys
 
I have tried all the tricks as well and I have yet to get this to work even in my addy book. I have a SD card with ringtones and music loaded and the only thing that will play no matter what is the mp3 selected as the phones theme. I love this phone but really want the ringtones to work.. plus I cant leave sh*t alone knowing it doesnt work right.. any help please post.
 
dont know if this will help anyone but here is how I got the ringtone for my wife's profile in my fav-5 to work.... went to SD card media found the RT edit renamed it pulled the batt then went to my wife's profile selected browse (or whatever) and selected the newly named tone.. and i cant believe it worked. wierd..hope this may help someone else.
 
THIS IS FOR THE ADDRESS BOOK
Dont know if this will work for the FAV-5

Ok....This is probally not the right way to do this but it seems to work at least for me.. No voo-doo or chicken bones either.

First goto main menu PROFILES/ADVANCE
then press the blackberry key and create a "new exception"
name it ( i used the person's name) then in the "from" click the BB button and "Add Name"
then go down to the where it has a default ring tone clicke the pearl add your tone and BAM save it.


This is a real B*TCH but I got em working and thats the point.

L8s hope all works out and if anyone has found an easier way hit me back.
 
I honestly think that people are just not following these instructions correctly. I had several people with this same problem and fixed it with the same solution.

Since it's difficult to follow sometimes, and everyone has made changes to their contacts you want to start completely over by erasing the contact from your address book, then making a brand new contact. leave all ringtones etc.. default. now go to your myfaves display and select this new contact to replace the one you deleted.

Now exit to your home screen. In the MyFaves display it will most likely read "T-Jingle" as custom tone.

LEAVE IT.

Exit to home screen.

Go to profiles and track down to ADVANCED

at the bottom there will be listed exceptions for alert profiles. Delete every single one of them.

Voila. now when your contact calls it uses the default ringer on your profile rather than custom.

To give a custom ringtone, you'll need to change your active profile's ringtone and then make an exception in your list making EVERYONE ELSE use a different profile.

This means a few things, most times you only get ONE tone for ALL myfaves.

But after investigating i'll say i was in the wrong about the above, this is definitely a MYFAVES Issue, when i remove the contact from myfaves and replace with someone else, i get custom ringtones but not for the myfaves.
