Hi,
I changed the ringtone of one of my friends to a different one (in contacts settings). I was under the impression that this only changes the RINGtone (when the contact calls me). However, it also changed the notification sound of WhatsApp for example for this particular contact.
As you can only choose Ringtones in the menu, I now get an annoying ringtone everytime the contact sends me a message.
I also can't revert the changes as I can't find "Default" in the menu.
Has anyone an idea how to fix this (at least get the default settings back)?
Edit: Omg it was in whatsapp itswlf. Can be clo

Hi guys,
Been doing a bit of searching, and can't find out if it's possible to choose a MP3 for email notifications. Could do it on the HD2 easy, and have a different tone for all notifications.
I can set a ringtone no probs, set the sms tone ok, just the email one I need a lift on.
Cheers
Darrin
did anyone find out how to do this ?
Not with the standard mail applications installed on the Desire. With K9mail it's possible.
of course you can do it.
Create a folder on the root of the sd card called 'notifications' (exactly like that but obviously without the quotes)
Put your MP3 in there.
In settings > sound and display, set the notification there. That is the setting that the default mail program uses.
then, to keep it different for SMS, go into the messaging application, and press menu>settings.
set the SMS tone there.
do the same in Google mail. open, menu, settings, set tone for google mail
this is extremely simple because nearly all programs have their own notification settings, and only the mail program seems to use the default one in settings.
how much more simple can it be?
That's a workaround, which i did actually know, but it doesnt alter the fact that you have the same tone for all other default notifictions, as well as the mail notifications.....
I just got my Desire HD and that seems to work for the the likes of GMAIL etc but Exchange just has this little beep and I can't see how to change this?
Post in the Desire HD forum for a start
Ok to V8Dave Eddy is correct as this may or may not work with your phone you are welcome to try it but if it doesn't might be better for you to get an answer in the DHD forum..
Anywho ---- There are 2 different notifications within the system that you can set .. The first is in settings>sound>notifications --- please note this will work for everything on your phone that needs a notification -- unless selected differently by program.. Your email will now have this notification .. To ensure it works start mail menu(hard button)>more>settings and turn the notification sound on
The second is hidden within the SMS app itself so start message>menu(hard button)>notification sound.. the SMS will now have a different sound to other notifications you may also be able to do the same with other apps i haven't checked them to be honest...
Now it should play seperate tones for sms and email and you can set your ringtone differently too ..
If that fails download LED me know http://www.xda-developers.com/android/customise-notifications-with-led-me-know/ from the market That should enable different notifications for several apps in one go
Sorry for a noob question.
I can assign a custom ringtone from /sdcard/media/ringtones/ to any contact (Google contacts) and I see that contact has a custom ringtone assigned but when a contact with a custom ringtone calls me - it' still plays a default ringtone which I set in "Settings". Why is it so?
P.S. HTC Desire, Vodafone.nl, Android 2.1-update1(1.19.161.5)
Bump-bump...
I found some posts in google groups discussing the same problem for different phones/firmwares. Solutions are: align phone numbers in contacts to be the same as it shown during incoming call: no "(", spaces between digits, etc. I tested different variants - no luck, it recognizes the person who calling me, shows correct name and photo, a phone number for incomuing is exactly the same as it written in contacts, but ringtone is not custom but default anyway. I changed custom MP3s to predefined ringtons - still the same, default ringtone for all incoming calls.
Does anybody here have the same problem? Or, at least, could You suggest me another application instead of standart "People"?
Upd: Fixed. A solution was simple but efficient - the phone should be rebooted after importing of contacts and setting custom ringtones.
you can also go to music and selecting the song then menu - ringtone for contact
Here's the deal, I have a Viper Smartstart app on my phone. Everything works well, but I wanted to specify
a specific ringtone for my alarm alerts on my phone. The problem is that there is no specific telephone number that the sms is coming from. Rather than a number it says [email protected] in the number field. Because of this, the alert sounds are the same as all my other sms that come through. I wanted to have a siren sound for the smartstart.
I tried to save the contact and assign the alert but it didnt work. Any suggestions for settings or apps?
On my Galaxy S4 it was easy as pie just going into my contacts and i can select a different tone for each person, each call or text etc. But all i see is one tone for all texts and that also includes app updates and stuff
This is really easy to do. Open an individual contact, click on the edit button up the top (looks like a pencil). Scroll about halfway down, and there's a Ringtone option. you can choose a ringtone from the list here.
That is not changing their specific TEXT tone
I don't see it under stock messaging (maybe because I'm not using it as default) but in Google Hangouts you can open a contact, open the ... menu (upper right) select People & options, and change the "Chat message sound"
If using Hangouts as messaging, I'd turn off auto retrieve MMS until the MMS Trojan horse exploit is patched.
Kinda a hassle for something that has been standard/basic for a while.
Its this just a LG issue?
Sorry, didn't notice you'd meant text notification. Don't think it's possible.
I have turned on No Not Disturb, with the following settings:
Sounds and vibrations: Priority only
End time: Never
Select priorities:
App notifications: none selected
Calls from: Favourites
Repeated calls: unchecked
Messages from: Favourites
Schedule: none set
I'm still getting notifications from Gmail and WhatsApp however (from any sender). I don't get a notification sound when I receive an SMS (whether from a Favourite contact or not).
Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone recommend a more reliable way of completely silencing the phone for all but incoming comms from Favourite contacts?
I'm running V20g-234-15 on an H815
