I dont know of anything but third party apps you can google for. Might even be some freeware for it...
I did find this but it was for Kasier

I was lookin for the same thing too and I was referred to photo contacts pro. I've been using it ever since and it allows you to set different sms tones for different people including a lot of other things

Is there anyway to assign certain ringtones to contacts and have em ring that way?? but can i also do it where it rings that persons ringtone when i recieve a text??
yes you can set custom ringtones but as far as I know there is no way to do it for texts as when you get a text it just sends a general notification to the notification bar.
you can set up custom ring tones for texts if you are using a 3rd party application for texting like Handcent.

Handcent has a widget as well, with read/unread count.
Just sayin'.
use ringo lite
Well, you can sorta use the widget with 3rd party messengers. I used to use it with Chomp. When you click on the message, it'll ask if you want to use the 3rd party app, or the stock one. Just set the default to the 3rd party and you're good.
Is there a way to have eg. to set different SMS notification ringtone for 1 contact?
I know I can do it with voice call, but can I with SMS?
No you cant set sms notification for 1 contact, dont ever heard that any phone can that. Maybe with some app?
Well back in some dark past Symbian v3 could.
I was able to set it individually for each contact using some app.. I believe it was "Rock.Your.Mobile.MessageTones.v1.00.S60v3.SymbianOS9.1"
I'm kinda surprised this functionality is not available for SGS/Android, especially seeing how advanced the system itself is. Maybe is it possible to develop such app? Or is it definately a no-go?
Yep.. there maybe is a app for android too, havent search for that because Im satisfied with just one tone for all sms, take a look in android market.
Just got myself Ringo. Will see how it goes ;]
I've some contacts that have multiple numbers associated.
Untill I used my HTC HD with winmo 6.5 sms threading aggregated messages by author (contact).
Now both the default sms app, as well as GO SMS PRO thread the messages by number!
This results in me having double or triple threads for all the people with multiple numbers!
Not only that, they could prefer me to vehiculate messages to a particular number (a default number) while they answer from another. That isn't possible anymore.
Is there a workaround for this?
if I don't mix up things now, Handcent SMS should work fine!
I've got just a few contacts with multiple numbers, but if I remember correctly, the SMS are sorted by contact, not number!
Correct me if I'm wrong

That would be my ideal working mode.
And what I expected.
But, as I said, two different apps show the same behaviour: two threads for messages coming from two numbers of the same contact.
Hi
I have the same issue, some of my contacts have multiple numbers, as they sometimes reply using a different SIM card or are in a different country. In Go SMS Pro threads list, they are listed multiple times instead of a single contact. I have checked and I do not have any duplicates in my contacts. I'm using HTC Desire Z updated to Gingerbread and the stock HTC messages app displays them fine (i.e. as a single thread). Has somebody found a solution? Or is it the way Go SMS is designed to work?
Thanks,
Hai
I suspect it's how GO SMS, as well as Google own messaging app, is designed.
I haven't found any other app that deals correctly with this so far
Are you sure? I'm using an HTC and their default messaging app and there messages are threaded by contact rather than number. Maybe only HTC does it...

Mine is just a guess: previously I had a WM 6.5 Htc HD and it did work as I expected. Same happened for every rom i flashed, but they all came with Sense.
Now that I moved to Android I can't find any messaging app doing what I expect it to do, so maybe it really was something special by Htc...
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but has something changed in this regard yet. Don't like the fact that one contact clogs up my whole sms tray. Am more than willing to pay for this feature.
I echo the sentiments of the others. Hath such an app or mod entered into existence at this time to accomplish this particular purpose?
Solution?

I don't think there is any solution yet.
Found contact+, its messaging does this, but you get all other things you might not want.

Try Contacts+. Its plugins are required for the whole app to function. But threads like you described exist in this app. I just wish the others would follow Contact+'s lead. It's available on the Play Store. Please remember to thank me if this works for you. Features Google+ integration and Facebook, whatsapp, foursquare, and LinkedIn as well as twitter. These apps may need to be installed too.
oops. looks like the question is already answered.
Hey everyone.
It is true that there is no convinient app that could hold multiple numbers of a contact in the same thread. I tried Contacts+, but this function is the only thing why I did this.
Actually I like Textra for the plain interface.
Why I am writing - developers of Textra seem to act quick for requested features. So I've added this feature here textra.uservoice.com/forums/208555-feature-request/suggestions/5728235-single-thread-for-a-contact-with-multiple-numbers .
If you're interested in this you could give your voice for the feature and maybe we would have a great sms app.
A little off topic: also I've added another feature request - textra.uservoice.com/forums/208555-feature-request/suggestions/5728169-split-group-sms-thread
So contacts+ is still the only solution?

Help please.. I was told that my phone has been sending sms messages to my friends on my contacts list. Without me knowing it, of course. What causes this? Any help would be appreciated.
You have obviously installed some app that has permissions to do this. Go though the most recent installs, and uninstall any that have the rights to send messages and see contact information.
Look at the sms's sent and see if there is any clue there, too.
ok thanks for the quick reply.. But how about some apps, that came already installed on the phone, I cant remove them.. Also some social apps, like the facebook and yahoo messenger.. They have this permissions, is there any way to unable the said permission? thanks!
Preinstalled apps won't do this.. Neither will facebook or Yahoo Messenger.
ok.. because those pre-installed one's also has reminders like those. So its safe for mo to re-install fb and ym?
its safe to install fb yahoo .
What are the contents of these SMS? Is it like a butt dial SMS or are your friends getting strange advertisements and links?
Sounds like malware.
uhm, they were receiving txt messages that I have already previously sent them. I mean older ones..
anyone? who has the same problem?

Would it be easier to do a factory wipe?

Yes, I had this. For some reason the texts were marked as unsent, probably because I have bad cell coverage at home. On a reboot they were all resent, regardless of if they had been sent.
I started using GO SMS and I have not had the problem. I also updated my kernel, but I cannot imagine that was the issue.
I also rooted the phone and killed off the bloatware. Perhaps it was the social hub, which I have now disabled.
could it be the "sms popup" that i installed? I installed it for me to be able to reply much easier to person texting em. Its like a pop up where you can already see the message and reply at once..
I looked at the GO SMS, I saw that it also has a reminder that it allows the phone to send text messages on its own.
Whats the best messga widget do you guys use? Thanks!

Not impossible. I think I did use that to, but the GO SMS has a popup of its own which seems better.
There is also a GO SMS widget that works quite well, I find. I prefer the popup and an unread message count shortcut.

Is there a way to update the contacts app, or install a third party one, that allows for setting individual text notification sounds? I've seen this option on other android devices, but on my Note 3 (running alliancerom v6) it only gives the option for setting individual ringtones. I've used third party messaging apps (like Go sms) that allows for individual settings, but I'm tired of all the advertisements and spam that comes with those. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Google Hangouts has support for individual chat message tone and I believe that works with text message too. Can you try that?

Contacts + it's a great contact/dialer/messaging replacement app, you can set individual notifications but it's got tons and tons of other features...definitely worth checking out if you haven't already
Native Contacts

I believe you can set it up using your native contacts app....Go into your contacts and pick one, click on the little pencil thingy on the top right to edit the contact. If you look towards the bottom, i believe below the email or groups title, You have one that says ringtone and another below that one that says Message alert. There you can add a customized ringtone and message sound to that contact...Hope this helps
