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.

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
If I click on the photo (or the default icon) while on the contacts list, a small window pops up with a few communications options depending on the stored contact information (Call, Gmail, G+...etc).
However, I can't find any way to sms a contact either while in Contacts list or after I open the contact item even though the phone number stored in that contact has been set as Mobile.
The only way to sms someone is through the Message application.
Am I missing something?
There's the pic that looks like a text bubble on the right hand side of each phone number when you hit the contact pic. That's to sms the person. If you have more than one sms program, it'll ask you to choose a default one first. At least that's what I got. Hope this helps.

Now you just confirmed what I was suspecting. I think I have set the "Call" action as the default.
I just went to Settings->Apps and found out that only the "Phone" app has "clear default" option. I cleared it but it didn't solve the problem. Whenever I click that little icon, the phone dials the number right away.
So when you tap the icon in my pic, your phone calls the number?
There used to be another way, allthough I'm not sure wether it was Samsung-, or Android related:
Open the contacts-app.
Scroll to the contact you need.
Put your finger in the (horizontal) center of that contact.
Slide slowly to the left and the sms-option will appear.
Slide to the right and you can make a call.
I hope it works for you.
Is it possible to modify the application that the ignore with text feature uses? (To clarity, this pops up when you have an incoming call, it gives you the option to ignore the call, and automatically send a preset message to the caller) I like the idea but it uses the stock messaging app and I use Google Voice for all texting.
Also slightly related, I noticed when I get a missed SMS in the stock messaging app, my lockscreen has a tab that says missed message or whatever. Is is possible to change that to maybe Google Voice? or maybe to show emails as well?
Perhaps this is a shot in the dark and maybe a limitation of touchwiz but I figured I would see if anyone knew anything.
I'd also like to see a count of unread Gmail and GV messages in the dock above the application icon, but that may be a bit too much to expect.
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
I am so frustrated with this new phone (Samsung Galaxy S20+) I could scream! I have looked everywhere and there is no way to change the notification sounds to be different for multiple email accounts, text messages and FB notifications. They are all the same. And while I'm at it I want to be able to swear and have voice to text to recognize it and not substitute some stupid word!!!
Go into phone settings > Apps > select the app you want to be different and select Notification. Search around in there and you will see the ability to choose a different option for sound

I try to explain in English, because my phone language is not English
Go to settings, app, then find the right application for you, for example Gmail, then tap notifications and choose for what you want to change the sound. When tap to mail, for example there is an option to change the sound. Hope that you succeeded to understand me [emoji23]
