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?

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.
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?
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.
I've tried every possible way to get vibrate only on text messages without any text tone but I can't seem to get it. Is it possible on the Nokia Lumia 920 to have no text tone but vibrate only instead? If I sent my text tone to none and receive a text its not gonna vibrate at all unless I use a text tone. I don't want to switch the whole device to vibrate only I still want to have my ringtone on.
I do not think it is possible to do just yet. When GDR3 is released this will be a possibility, but u have to wait 4 it. Sorry.
Just go around the need to have a tone ... and create a silent one and assign it as the message tone ... then it plays, but does not make a sound ...

How do u assign a custom message tone in WP8? It cannot be done.
Sorry about that ... I thought that the ringtone maker would allow the ringtone to be used for the SMS alerts ... and you are right, there is not an obvious way to get a new SMS alert loaded on the phone ...
Answered too quickly -- with foot in mouth ...
I hate that every notification except email has the same sound. How can I change so that text messages have their own notification? Right now text messages and all other random notifications share the same ringtone so I never know if I got a text message or something else.

It doesn't work. If you change it, it changes it for all notifications. Not just texts.
I just figured it out.

I had been looking for this setting for days now and I just stumbled upon it. When you are editing a contact go to the bottom of the contacts information and hit the "ADD ANOTHER FIELD" button. There you will see the ability to add the "Message Tone" field as well as specify a "Vibration Pattern" if wanted. Not sure why they didn't put the Message Tone option on the contact by default.

Mind blow.
Dude, just set any ringtone for notifications via phone settings - it'l be your sms ringtone AND for any other applications having opportunity to create notifications you should open those applications, go their settings and find there option notifications and change notifications sound directly for that application. Logic!
Binrob, I get what you are after because I did a google search for the very same thing. No one here seems to get it.
What happens is all these other apps utilize the same NOTIFICATION sound as your text messages (like Facebook, or playing back-and-forth board games). Binrob and the rest of us want our TEXT messages TO BE DIFFERENT sounding than all the others. I don't want to look at my phone every time i get a notification, but i do want to look at my phone every time someone texts me. There doesn't seem to be a way to customize SMS/TEXT to its own notification sound. Android needs to fix this.
You've answered everyone's question! This should show up #1 on Google search!

Has there been updates since to change to separate notification for all contacts?
I get this issue and NEED them to fix as well! I don't want fb messenger and text messaging and any other notification to have the same sound. I want to know what app the notification is for WITHOUT unlocking and looking at my phone. Also, on my s5 I was able to change my led color for specific apps. If it blinking red I knew it was a text. Blinking green fb message. Blinking blue fb notification. Etc! Please add those back!
You CAN set the sound for messages, go to settings, notifications, advanced ......... choose messages, more settings (at the bottom of the screen), and the next screen is where you change the sound that is made. Not exactly user friendly though!
I think the answer is as simple.as: go to your message app, top right hit: more, Then go to settings and set whatever ringtone you want to have under notifications. I guess this should be what you are looking for.

notificaton tone in message+
The comment that you can set message tones In contacts is correct except that apps like message+ , at least on the Galaxy , ignore that and use their own tones
I just found it....
open messages on the right top corner click there and pick customize ando under tones and there u can pick whatever ringtone for only SMS....
FOR SAMSUNG S9/S9+. To have a specific sound for you messages, go to messaging app/setting/notifications/general notications must be off/emergency alerts must be off. Go to new messages and choose your preferred sounds.
