Possible workaround???
Ok...I dont know if this "fix" I just did has been mentioned/posted in here yet...we are on Page 7 now after all, and my memory sucks...I do know a "Gmail Contacs vs Phone Contacts" deal was outlined, and I may have got started from there...
So, I will just outline what I did earlier tonight...and so far, my couple of tests have worked...not to say they will continue to do so after tonight...so YMMV...
1) I went to my Gmail account on my PC...clicked Contacts
2) As expected, all my current contacts on my Phone are listed...under Phone as well as My Contacts
3) I went ahead and selected ALL contacts with the checkbox.
4) Then clicked the "Groups" button and selected only "Phone" by "deselecting" My Contacts...leaving only Phone checked.
5) Then I went back to my Droid X and synced back my contacts through the Accounts & Sync Menu in Settings...click Google and wait for the sync to finish.
6) Assign a ringtone to a contact through the Contacts menu...and then perform a "test" by having that contact call me...and it is working as of right now...
Again, i dont know if this has already been tried, successful or failed...but for me at the moment, I have custom assigned ringtones for contacts. This may be a result of checking Phone as well as My Contacts under Groups in Gmail and then re-syncing the Google account... :huh:
