After I assign a custom or different stock ringtone to Contact A, the ringtone also gets played when a WhatsApp message is received from that contact. How can I stop this from occurring? Please guide.
Found the answer:
EDIT: go to whatsapp setting -> notifications -> uncheck contact ringtone (use contact's ringtone as notification ringtone)

I want to add a custom ringtone to my handcent sms messaging app so that when i recieve a text it plays what i want it to play.. but i went to notification settings and it wont let me select anything i want to select only the default selections.. can anyone help???
Handcent doesn't support custom tones?
in Handcent under settings<notification settings < notification sound , there is no option to select an "other..." tone... however I can't remember if you make a really short tone if it will show up on that menu...
Is there a way to add some notification tone for message?
coz i want to have my own tone on messages that i will receive..
is it possible?
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean a custom notification for received messages? It should be configurable in the default messaging app, but I'm not completely sure since I use handcent SMS which allows you to customize the notification sounds and a bunch of other stuff.

so i must use handcent messaging for me to have my custom tone?
You can create a new folder on your sd card -> DCIM -> media - > audio -> notifications and put your customs notifications in this folder.
You can do the same for your ringtones and alarms by creating new folder on your sd card -> DCIM -> media -> audio -> ringtones and alarms
You will be able to find them in your message app settings.
Hope it helps you
PS : sorry for my bad English
I have changed my notification ringtone in both the Sound settings and the Personalize settings, and it still plays the default tone when I receive a text message, instead of the ringtone I have changed it to and applied. Any thoughts?
Go into the Messaging app, tap the 3-dot menu button & select Settings. Go into Notifications and under Notification sound, select the tone you want. If Default Notification is selected it uses the phone ringtone for calls. At least that's what mine is showing. I don't use the stock messaging app though so I never noticed which tone would actually play.

I have te same problem.
Notification sound works for Whatsapp but not for SMS.
Any ideas Anyone?
Never mind, did not read Sharksfan his reply properly, this fixed it.
Kind regards, Stefan.
I have a brand new OnePlus 3T, I've changed the notification sounds on the Whatsapp App to my custom sounds. The problem is that whenever I recieve a message I get the default notification sound from the phone NOT the sound I have chosen for Whatsapp. Curiously enough this doesn't happen with messages from groups in Whatsapp, or in other e-mail or messaging apps.
I've tried other sounds, formats and folders and it won't work. For some reason the Default Notification Sound has more priority than the Whatsapp Notification Sound.
Since Whatsapp wouldn't work, I tried to change the Default Notification Sound so it will be the same as my Whataspp Notification Sound. BUT OnePlus 3T doesn't allow you to add new Notification sounds (You can add Ringtones and Alarms).
Help? Thanks!
It also happens with whatsapp Phone Calls. The ringtone is the Default Notification Tone (not even the Default Ringtone). And again, this doesn't happen with Group Chats (which makes this even weirder).
-FIXED-
There was an option to Reset Notification Settings inside Whatsapp, and then it worked. Apparently it was an issue with the Whatsapp Backup I did from my old Smartphone to the OnePlus 3T.
I use distinct notification sounds (as well as ringtones) for 5 of my contacts. Remaining all contacts use default notification sound and Ring tone. Every thing was working fine till yesterday when I changed the default notification sound and default ringtone of my device. After that the specific notification sounds were changed whereas the specific ringtones continued working fine.
PROBLEM : Now when I try setting distinct notification sound of any of those 5 contacts it changes the sound but set the same for all five contacts. The specific notification sound set latest for any of contact become the notification for all contacts with specific notification sounds. Contacts set for default notification sound keeps working as desired.
I searched for the problem on internet and as per the guidance I deleted the data of messages app. That did not delete my messages as claimed but reset notification sound of all contacts as default. However when I set the distinct notification sound for those 5 contacts the problem persisted as before ... that is ... The specific notification sound set latest for any of contact become the notification for all contacts with specific notification sounds. Contacts set for default notification sound keeps working as desired.
I have been using this feature on android phones for many years but never encountered such problem .... Please suggest a solution !
