Set sms notification per contact? - Moto X Q&A

Is it possible to set an sms notification sound per contact?
I've searched and the only thing I can find are a few apps on the play store.
Is there a modded stock messaging app or something similar?

Quick Question

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.

Issue with double notification sound...

I get a double notification sound every time i get a text message. The first sound is the one i chose in handcent. The second sound occures 1 second after the first, and its the default notification sound("look at me").
Ive tried unchecking everything in the default messaging app. Ive tried going into settings>sound& display> notification ringtone> silent. Restarting phone after setting these things. And still no fix. I still get the double notification sounds. The 1st i want. The second default sound doesnt go away.
Before I made this thread i did research around the web about this and tried every suggestion. I still have the problem.
Any other suggestions?
also: my phone is not rooted
Wow. Never heard of that... I really don't know what to say.
Root.
Go to messaging app, settings, then just UNCHECK notifications. That should be it. I've had tons of Android phones and use all kinds of 3rd party SMS app, and have no issues.
Make sure you don't have some other SMS app or message notification app also running giving notifications. (missed call, sms popup, chompsms, trackball alert, sms count widget, etc..)

Yeah "nothing" is checked in the default messaging app.
I tried to install chomp to see if it was handcent and it did it with chomp too.
Edit: I found the issue!
Thanks for suggesting about looking for any app that had anything to do with messaging or ringer tones. It was a rarely used app i have called "ringo pro"
I changed the appropriate settings and now everything is fine.
Thank you

Handcent Application Question

I am using the handcent sms application but now i have double notifications.
Handcent SMS app when i receive in coming messages and 2nd one from default sms client is there a way i can stop the default sms client to give me the notifications and only get the notifications from the handcent sms app ?
Go into the default messaging app, then settings, then uncheck Notifications(display message in status bar).

TextSecure notification using the Pebble app only?

Hi,
given the new notification options in the native Pebble app, I wanted to get rid of 3rd party notification apps using the native notifications instead. While going through the list, I realized that I can enable notifications for all Android apps except of TextSecure. Does anyone else noticed that? Is there a workaround? TextSecure notifications were working, using "Rich notifications for Pebble" for example!?
Thanks,
Tobi

Hi Tobi,
I can't enable notifications for TextSecure, too. And it isn't possible for TitaniumBackup, SMS/MMS and "SMS Backup & Restore" as well. Maybe the feature is disabled for apps that can gain full SMS access, since SMS are accessed directly by the pebble app? (Strange that it is different for Hangouts, though.)
Hi,
I've been in contact with the pebble guys, will keep you updated when they answer..
UPDATE: For the moment, you have to disable the check for SMS notifaction in the pebble options and activate each SMS app seperately.

Messages Notification and Default Notification

Is there a way to have a different Messages notification tone than the default notification tone?
Many thanks!
Same question! I can't even change sound notifications from gmail and google allo?
Same for Twitter lol
Having the same .. would like to have different sound notifications in gmail and messages. I seem to be able to do it in WhatsApp, but everywhere else it use system default sound
It is extremely extremely annoying. To solve this, I am using Textra instead of stock messages. You might like it and it has , of course, the option of changing the sound. I wouldnt even consider that a 2018 flagship doesnt have that option...

You can change the notification sounds in Gmail. I have three email accounts setup in the Gmail app.
Goto:-
- Gmail settings
- General settings
- Manage notifications
- Click the text area that says 'Normal: Allow these notifications to make sounds' (not the button)
- Sound
Thanks, havent found that before
