I have searched the internet a few times over the last few weeks and find only the same old, dead threads with poor solutions or seemingly good solutions which have been pulled from the market (such as app called "missed call"), and nothing new, so here goes:
It is a documented Android phenomenon: we hear nothing when a text message comes in while we're on the phone. There is no LED so glancing at the phone from time to time (I use headset) doesn't cut it. I have to try to remember to wake the screen to check from time to time and sometimes I miss time-sensitive messages.
Are there any solutions that I have missed? I don't really want to go the route of BLN, or 3rd party SMS app; I may have to I know. But I do hope there is a way to make this shiny new top-notch device do a basic thing that has been accomplished by every device I have owned since this one

If a Motorola Timeport 280 from 2001 can beep when I receive an SMS.....
You did not say what exactly the solutions you tried, so I'm not sure if you already did this: go to Settings > Call > Call alert > Alerts on call and set it to sound, or any of your preferred settings.

Oddly enough, i never saw this before. I must have looked in the Sound settings menu 10 times. I'll try it out, thanks. If that fixes it, i wonder why it was off by default in the first place
Edit: It works, thank you.
You're welcome! I'm still very new to all this (android and the SGS2), so I'm looking around my phone, playing with it, trying to figure out things.
On a related note, do you know how to get custom alerts for text messages? I can't figure it out, and I doubt samsung took out that simple feature that's been around since I can remember.

I can see that, but I cannot use other ringtones besides what's pre-installed in the device. That is, if I want to use an MP3 music file as my SMS alert notification, I cannot add that file to the list of SMS alert notifications. Is it really like that?

Ah ok, so what you have to do is go in your "sd card" the built-in memory, not "external sd" and create a folder called "Audio". Inside here you make 3 more folders: "Alarms" "Notifications" & "Ringtones"
You put whatever you want for sms/email, etc in the Notifications folder, it should show up in the list for choosing your sms sound.
Thanks! It took me a while to get back to this thread (been really busy). It works!

Anyone find a way to have custom ringtone per contact, particularly for incoming SMS? Feel kinda silly not figuring it out..
Can it not be done through the edit contact page? That's how it is on other phones, though I don't know that I've seen a way to get custom sms notifications. Would be sweet!
Yep. Look at the contact in the People app and click on Ringtone.

Don't you guys pester my locksmith, by the way.
I did the drag-and-drop approach. Connect the EVO to your windows pc laptop/desktop using the usb cable. Wait 5-10 seconds and a “Choose a connection type” window will show on the phone screen. Select “Media sync”. Then you’ll be able to view folders/files in your phone device (like an external hard drive). Double-click “phone” folder (this is your EVO), and you’ll see various folders (Music, Ringtones, Notifications, Download, etc). You can now copy a music file or picture file stored in your laptop/desktop and paste it to one of these folders…depending on what you’re using it for. After you're done, disconnect the phone from the computer.
Go to EVO's Settings, then Sound, then Phone ringtone, and select your ringtone. (You can also do this via Music app).
For Messages app, open it, go to Menu on top right corner, then Settings, then Notifications, then Notification sound, and select your ringtone.
You can specify an inbound call ringtone per person, but this does not apply to the TXT msg settings that I am aware of.

I don't know if it works on ICS but try Ringo Lite for assigning ringtones, SMS tones and text tones.

SMS Sounds is a lightweight app that is specifically for setting SMS tones for contacts.

goto contact/edit/ringtone pick ringtone then save
for sms/mms go in to app press menu(3 dot buttons on top right)settings/notifiction/notifiction sound/choose sound you wish to use for incoming sms/mms(if your looking to individual sounds for each contact i dont believe you can do that)
With GoSMS and Handcent you can set individual sms ringtones. The third party apps provide tons of customization for messaging.

Yes, but I do not use AT & T network (I'm from Russia). I think there is a way to fix it. The hidden menu or somewhere else, like Hotspot.

Ah, I'm sorry I didn't think of that.
I believe it relies on the sms app you use.
Try an alternative like handcent or gosms.
Or maybe you could get the app from another version of the phone, one of the Canadian or global variants.
Not sure if they would have the option, but they might.
I'm on the Canadian jellybean v.3 though

Yeah, the AT&T ICS settings are a little less populated than that.
But that proves that other OG ROMS DO have the option.

Delivery reports
Hi there,
The stock at&t messaging app is able to request delivery reports. Only, for some reason, this option gets lost sometimes, along with the notification led blinking for missed calls or sms. The solution that worked for me might help you as well, if you are rooted- If you have a system app. Remover or another app that makes it possible to get rid of system apps preinstalled in the phone. Each such application should have the option to back up every system app before uninstall. So, you backup your messaging app. - called lgmsg3.apk (or something like that I might not remember it precisely), then you uninstall it, reboot your device, and through the very same app. - system app remover, you hit restore app and choose the messaging application. It asks you whether it is a system app, you hit yes and here you go delivery reports (under settings, text messages) as well as led blinking for missed events are back!
Hi:
I just did what you said... no it does not work. The version of the software you use is 3.2.31??? The one I have is that and no... it does not work.
I appreciate your help on this if you have any new tip on this.
Thanks

You need to use a file manager with root functions. Root explorer, EStrongs etc.

My bad, yeah i do have that file :S
i mean my SMS/MMS work fine its just that its not recorded in the call log since I downloaded the AOSP messaging app which replaced the default S3 messaging app
Before downloading it, it worked fine
I didn't mean look to see if you have the database. I meant open the database and look to see if your messages are recorded within it
Edit, you're saying that the SMS from within the messaging app arent appearing in your phone application / Call log? The SMS show in the SMS app?

Sorry bare with me, im still sort of new to android rooting. That's correct so all the SMS's i send and receive do not show up in the Call Log e.g. if I sent a SMS to you, it would not be in my call log/history but the Messaging app is perfectly functional.
Did you mean this? Theres too lines cut off in the picture which are :
Words_segdir
words_segments
Ah ok. No it wouldn't appear in the call log. You need the Samsung messaging app. The CM messaging app cannot interact with the Samsung phone app in the same way, as it's not coded to, unlike the Samsung messaging app.
Although the database in the screenshot is now irrelevant (as I mixed up what you meant), it was the "SMS" row in that table you screenshotted I want to check. But it doesnt matter now.
Ah crap.
Sorry another question, is there anyway to get the stock messaging app back so the logs work again? e.g can i flash the app and it'll be back to normal
Just take it out of a rom

I'd like to be able to assign different notification alert sounds for different apps. For instance... NY Times alerts would have "sound A" while Twitter alerts have "sound B" and Slickdeal alerts would have "sound C". I know that I can assign different notification sounds for each contact... I want to be able to do the same for different apps. Is there any way to do this? Thanks.

Some apps give you that ability. For instance, Hangouts texting app lets you specify what notification sound you wish to hear. Also, my email app lets me choose the notification sound. Check the settings in all those apps.
But without root -- unless the various apps have that in their app settings -- there's no way that I know of. Some ROMs let you do that and I believe some xposed modules let you do that -- but that requires root.

Nine is the name of my corporate email app.
Here's the notification options that app has. See screenshot below. Other apps sometimes allow this also, while most force you to use the "system" notification you've chosen.
This app even lets you choose the OUTGOING send sound. (Not shown in this screenshot, it's on another page.)

The LED light enabled is just a carryover from previous phone. It doesn't actually do anything on the LG V30. However, you can save your desired app settings and export them to use on other devices.

Microsoft's Outlook app allows you to set a notification sound for it and per e-mail address, if wanted. I have 3 e-mail accounts imported to the app, all of which are set to chime differently. The same applies to calendar notifications for each e-mail address as well.
Hi all, I would like to know how to change vibration intensity on WhatsApp. To better explain: when someone sends me a message, my S23 Ultra vibrates twice, that is something I don't like, so I would change and make my phone vibrates once when WhatsApp messages arrive to my phone. I've searched but I couldn't find the right option.
Please can someone help me? Hope I've been clear.
Thanks
go to sound and vibration and there you can choose notification vibration like short, beeep, zigzag etc , i set up mine for Sync with sound.

Try to select your preferred vibration pattern in settings.
Guys I've tried again all of your suggestions but it not changes. When I choose 'short' in settings for example, it only works on Instagram notifications, and when I try to change something in WhatsApp settings it doesn't work! Even if I choose 'short', 'long' or 'default', it always remains that two little f****n vibrations!
Perhaps check your whatsapp permissions & access options.

If WhatsApp is the only app with the issue, might be worth trying to clear data and uninstall it. Then reinstall and set it up afresh. May be worth a try if nothing else is working.

Yes, the only thing it's to clear all and uninstall it, I think it's the only right way. It's not possible that everyone can do it but me. And this thing already happened with my previous phone, a Note20 Ultra. I try with several devices to change the vibration, but I've never do it. This time I want to go far and know why it only happens to me.
Finally did it!
Long press Whatsapp icon > info >
Notifications > In-app notification settings (this will NOT work if this menu is accessed via the app)
Turn OFF Vibrate under each (Messages, Groups, Calls).
Make sure vibration is switched on in app settings under message notifications
Now you can choose your favourite vibration pattern from phone settings. It was really annoying because when you receive multiple WhatsApp messages the only thing you want to do is throw the phone out the window, now it is way better!!
