Anyone know a way to change the default text message ringtone on Google messages? I can set them individually, but that's a pain.
Long press the app > (i) Information > Notifications, and from there you will probably be able to set a default notification ringtone.

No dice.
Not sure if this is what you need. Go to Settings. Then Apps. Go to the app you want and there's a section to change the default sound. I did for a number of apps already.

No option for that in the Messages app.

There are 2 Messages apps. I tried both and the attached screenshots were the ones I changed tones. Hope that helps and I hope that was what you were after.

Hi guys just wondering if its possible to have different tones for various notifications like sms,emal etc or is it just one tone for everything.Thanks.
If you already have some music on your phone that you want to turn into tones/notifications etc, download Ringdroid from the market. Worked well for me!
thanks mate will give it a try
I've got the unbranded Desire from Carphone Warehouse.
On this device, if you go into gmail app, you can change the notification sound for just that app in the settings. The default choice is "use default [notification] sound", but you can chose others.
You can use any sound they just have to be in the right place.
On SD cards root make folders. Then they will show up when looking.
Alarms - For alarms obviously.
Notifications - For message tones.

I'm not sure if your question has been fully answered; but I was wondering the same thing. How to have a different tone for sms, emails, facebook etc.
I know some apps allow for this in their settings but I can only see one place for 'general notifications' and this applies to all types of notifications.

I don't know exactly what you are referring to, but go into your app manager, click on the app, and then press clear defaults. This might work.

There is no listing for zedge under manage apps? Most anything you download should appear there.

He's saying he set the default to HTC. That means he needs to find the HTC app responsible for notification and clear it. OP, you can try clearing defaults on all the HTC based apps, including one's that show up as com.* (where * is a wildcard) You could also try uninstalling Zedge and reinstalling. Or find another app that triggers a similar dialog and then set the default there.

You can't with the default Messaging app.
Your only options are:-
1. Go to Settings/Accessibility and switch on 'Message / call voice notifications.
or
2. Install a different Text app and make it default.
Textra offers individual notifications both with sounds and individual coloured icons in the notification bar.

It does use specific tone for individual contacts...... I know because I am using it in this way myself.
What you must do is after launching Textra PRESS & HOLD on one of your contacts and you will notice a 'Tick' has appeared over all the contacts with the one you selected highlighted.
Next, go to the top right and tap on the three dots and select Notifications. Now you can alter to your hearts content for that individual.
Job done....

MY sincere apologies.
Hello,
I'd like all of the people sending me text to have a general chime. I have to respond to my boss 24x7 so I need a very loud and distinct chime is there a way to do that?
Anyone know if this feature will be available in the next version of Android?
Apparently, Textra SMS (free, no ads) from the Play Store supports separate notifications, bubble colours and delivery reports by contact.

Just installed it - couldn't figure out how to set a specific sound notification for a specific text sender.
From any text from the specific person, click on settings. People & options, click on sound....choose any sound you desire for that user

I apologize - are you speaking about the default app or another text app such as Textra?
I'm in the default text app. I have a message string open from the person whose notification I want to change. I do not see a way to get to settings once I have the message string open.
Forgot, I'm using the messenger app. Many options available in that app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging

Thanks - I just tested - unfortunately it doesn't seem to override the sound settings on the G3. I set my default app as messenger - not messaging (native) and it still uses the default sound for all even after I selected the user - people and options - sound.

The only thing I can find is you can go to the contact and make a certain ringtone or vibration for your boss.

Thanks - I guess it just didn't go into effect immediately or it didn't like the first sound I chose. It is working now! Very helpful!

Works for me. Changed the sound for a contact and the new sound played correctly

Yes, it may have failed on my first test because of the sound I chose or because I still had the phone attached to my pc and the settings didn't take. Working now thanks.

Do you mean for the in-app sounds like when you like something? I keep those turned off, so can't help you there, but my Facebook notifications sound is my default sound and my Facebook Messenger sound I keep changed back to the old Facebook Pop sound they used to have it as. I did this in the system settings, not the apps, I believe.
yes when you go jnto facebook setting the push notification sound is "facebook" I want to change it but it doesn't

Thanks, I wasn't tapping on the Push button before to get to that page. All the tones are greyed out and you can choose a different one, but it doesn't stick, like you said. Weird.
I think it's a Facebook bug

Or a feature.
Facebook wants everyone to have the same tone. That way, its victims will all get a tiny dopamine rush when any of the phones around them have an alert. They then all check Facebook . I've seem it happen.
