Apologies if this has been addressed already, but I didn't see any posts about this. I want my SMS app to silence the notification tone when I receive a new text if I'm already inside the actual app. For instance, if I'm texting someone while inside GoSMS, right now the notification tone sounds while I'm typing and the other party is texting me at the same time. I only want the notification tone to sound when I'm not already in my SMS app, because it's rather annoying to get a loud tone to notify me of a text that I can clearly see already.
Similar to how the iPhone only sounds the notification tone when outside their SMS app, but does not sound the tone while the user has the SMS app open.
Is there a way to do this? Perhaps another SMS app that has this functionality? I've used GoSMS and Handcent and have not seen this option.
Thank you!
Bumping thread...anybody know?

I'm finding I'm missing loads of text messages & would love it if the phone would alert me repeatedly until I finally notice the sms and read it.
I have dug around the phones menus but with no luck. Not sure if I'm just missing it as I'm new to Android (loving It).
Is their a setting to enable this feature or will I just have to choose a longer/louder sms notification sound.
Thanks.
use handcent SMS, you can set how long the phone should vibrate, and I also recommend NoLED

Thanks, I'll take a look at those.
also SMS Popup, which I prefer to Handcent...
Thanks, gonna have a play around with both and see which i prefer.
SMS!Alert
You can try SMS!Alert.
Allow you to create custom alerts based on SMS messages, enter a incoming phone number and/or keyword filter, when someone sends a SMS with the keyword filter text or if incoming phone number matches, phone will display sound alert.
Hey,
I like stock SMS app but one thing is a bit annoying - I like to have SMS delivery reports but I'd like to set for it other sound or mute it...
I set SMS sound, but I'd like to mute notification (SMS delivery) tone. As far I know I am not able to do this? Any hack perhaps?
Other SMS apps like Go SMS, Handcent I do not like, so they aren't being taken into consideration

Wha? This isn't hard... Open Messaging app, Menu > Settings, scroll to the bottom.
I wrote it would change SMS tone too which is pointless ;]

You either ignored or didn't understand what the OP asked for.

Yeah, I missed the part where he was specifically asking about just the delivery notification tone. Sorry OP.
So my mom and I both got ourselves an S3 and she keeps complaining about the notification sounds.
Basically there's the ringtone, and then there's notification sounds for EVERYTHING including SMS. What she wants is to have a tone for SMS and another for calls, and the rest of the notifications silent (mail, facebook etc.)
I couldn't find an option to separate sms tones from the rest, so I'm at a loss.
I hope you can help me, as google proved to be utterly useless in this case
edit: A fix that does not include going into each app and making it silent. She has no patience.. at all.

You could use Go SMS, and set up the sms notification on there. Then make the default notification for everything else to be silent in the system sound settings. Works for me.

I did consider that, but the lack of patience and hate for something that's different (She's a former apple user -.-) might get in the way. I'll ask her though. Thanks ^^
Even better, as Go SMS has an iphone theme which will make it look just like what she's used to!

To have a separate alert tone for each you need to set the tone from inside the app itself, I.e open up your sms message app press menu key press settings scroll to the bottom where it says notifications and simply alter it from there. Hope I've helped you.

Hi,
Is there a way to set different text message notification sounds for different contacts? I'm not referring to ringtones. Using the same notification sound for all text messages makes each incoming text a priority to check. Coming from a Note II I was able to assign distinct notification sounds for all contacts (ringtones and text messages).
Thanks.

You might need to download a different text message app on the play store to do that. I don't think you can do that on stock ones

You can do that with GoSMS Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms
Thank you for the responses.

I use an app called Ringo for ringtone and message tone management.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.electricpocket.ringo&hl=en_GB
iirc Hangouts now has that option to have individual ringtones for messages received
either that, or you can use LightFlow, it enables you to set custom notifications (and LED colors) for many apps
Xposed also has a mod for that ($-ware)
Hello,
I am running LOS 16 in my Nexus 6, and I can't find a way to set the messaging tone for incoming SMS. There's simply no button and no option. In the setup there is one option to change the overall notification sound, which is valid for all apps and all kind of notifications. I only want to change the sound for incoming SMS.
What is even more odd: if I choose a particular conversation and choose "options/persons" I can set an individual tone for that person!
In other words: the app can set individual tones for every sender, but not a general tone for incoming SMS.
Is this a bug? Or did I really not discover the right option by now?

you should ask on the ROM's own forum, or ask the devs of that ROM.
Which forum would you recommend, that is allowed for non-developers and is being read by the right people?
