I want to know how to assign a custom tone for text messages to a specific contact thanks for those who can help.

With the stock messaging app, I don't think is possible. Your best bet may be a messaging app from the market. I've never used one, so hopefully someone else chimes in. That would be useful.
Havent seen anything myselfthat lets u assigne a specific tone to a contact for text messages only ringtones for callers....if you do find some something I'd like to know too :good:
I use Ringo, it had a bug, where if u used a song on external Sd card then mounted as storage it would stop working, so I reccomend using a tone on ur internal sd.
Tasker can also do custom txt tones

I find SMS conversation threads amusing and useful enough but this is my work phone as well and sometimes I need to save and be able to easily access certain messages.
On my last phone (not Android, no SMS conversation) I could create folders, eg 'Saved' or 'Work' and when I had read an SMS I could delete or save to folder. I acknowledge that this is terribly old fashioned etc but it's functionality I would quite like to retain. Backing up doesn't meet the 'easily accessible' side of it.
Could anyone suggest an app that handles SMS in this way?
Cheers

Yeah, thanks. I'm using that and it just doesn't have that folder, save an individual SMS functionality that I need.

I have the Motorola Photon 4G, and the one thing I miss about my LG Rumor 2 (Yes, very old) is the ability to set a custom vibration for SMS, MMS, Calls, Email, and other various things. I also miss being able to give contacts certain ringtones. Like for my GF it would play a melody and when my Mom or Dad called it would play a siren. Is there app or mod that can do this for me? I would still like to use the stock dialer and contact manager though.
Any help?
You should be able to set a ringtone for each contact in the Contacts manager. That will apply for the calls from each person.
This app will allow you to set a tone for incoming text messages and the "Plus" version of that app will work for text and MMS.

For ringtones, make a new file in your sd card called ringtones, put the ringtones inside and set it from your settings>sound
For vibrations, I'm not sure.
This will only work for ringtones, not message tones, Unfortunately.
Are there any other apps out there people would like to recommend?
,ake a folder in sd card with the name ringtones and put all ur custom rings in there .den u can hav em and about vibration i guess there is no such way....there are sum apps available which just sets the vibration times...
Dear All,
Does anyone know how to adjust some setting to make the text message alert happen more than once?!
It must surely be possible if the inferior iPhone does it!
Many thanks
Go SMS gives you that option and a ton more.

The stock messaging system IS pretty awful. It's a shame they didn't put more thought into it.
I use GoSMS myself. It has settings for setting up reminders.
Is there anyways to have motion work with GoSMS?
Thank you all - I'll have a look at GoSMS
If you want to use the stock messaging service, and you still want to receive motion alerts and whatnot from your phone. I have been using this app called Easy Reminder. It seems to do exactly as I had hoped, it will give you a reminder tone, or vib whenever you have missed sms. There is also configuration for missed calls. Again, this is if you would like to retain stock functionality but just want missed call and sms reminders.
Also one motion feature will alert you when you pick the phone up if you have missed events.

Yeah GO SMS is the one you want:good:
OK, I have searched high and low for anyone having this issue, and have found a few posts that are similar to the problem I am experiencing but not quite the answer I am looking for.
I am a happy Galaxy Note owner, who did the upgrade to ICS through my carrier, which is Rogers, up here in Canada. I am having issues with my ringtones. It appears I cannot switch my ringtone for individual contacts, after installing the update. I am able to choose my ringtone in the contact menu with no problem, but for some reason, it reverts back to the main/default ringtone I have chosen as a general ringer. I am able to change out the ringtone for the phone itself, with either the preinstalled tones, or tones that I have installed manually, I just can't get them to work for individual contacts. Everything was working fine while I was on GB, but no dice on ICS. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried changing the tones to different folders and such, and the ringtones I want are showing up in the ringtone menu but will not take effect, even after a reboot. Any suggestins would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Shad.
stock Contact app?
A friend of mine had the same problem and we found they were using an alternative Contacts app that didn't work. Are you using the stock contact app to assign the ringtones?

Yes, I'm using the stock contacts app. I've tried everything, but I may have sorted it out. It looks like there is something wrong when u do it by the contact menu. I seem to have one working now, but haven't had any phone calls since. I had to manually add it to the media>audio> notifications folder. I hope it works, I should know tomorrow!
Hi,
Can someone please tell me how I can set different ringtones for text messages and emails on this phone please?
I can't find the option in any of the settings but surely it can be done??
Thanks
In root create folder and name it Media. Then inside create subfolders called Ringtone, Alarm, Notification and transfer desired tunes. Then in Setting- Tones choose your tune.

Another option, if you use Handcent SMS app, you can change text message tone in notification settings on Handcent.
For phone ringtone copy the tone u want to use to the ringtone folder on your internal SD card. For email/ messages copy the required tone to the Notifications folder on your internal SD card, u may need to reboot your phone.
