Help change individual sound notifications? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI Guys
recently got a Z3 compact. cool little phone but lacking in a lot of simple options compared to the likes of Samsung, etc.
I am trying to change individual sound notifications for various messaging notifications and also to change the sound notification of locking/unlocking screen.
Under; Settings > Sound & notification > Default Notification
This is where I change the sound for notifications, however this effects all notification sounds for all forms of messages, email, hangouts, etc. How do I change them individually?
Under; Settings > Sound & notification > Other Sounds
This is where I can choose 'On' or 'Off' for "Screen Locking Sounds'. However it does not allow me to change the sound that the phone has registered by default.
I downloaded various Super Mario Bros sounds and want to individualise sound notifications so that when my phone is receiving messages, etc it will play the various sounds and unlocking the screen will play the 'level up' sound, making it in all sound like my phone is playing Super Mario Bros. I had this on one of my Samsung phones and rather dissapointingly cant seem to do the same with this phone. I also downloaded apps called "Ringo" and "Lightflow" but they too don't allow me to make these personalised changes.
Any help or advice?

As you mentioned, you can change the sound each app uses for notifications but this is done within each app separately (e.g. email, texts, Facebook, etc). In other words, open each app and select the sound you want from within the apps settings.
You can't change the volume for them individually though, they'll all be at the same level.

Just turn off the notification sounds via settings /sound /notification sound. That will apply to all notifications though, sms, whatsapp Etc.
This reminds me... Is there any good free app that will allow you to set individual tones for contacts and apps such as FB and other games that notify you when its your turn to play, etc?

You can change this setting per account without changing the system notification sound level. In the email account settings you can specify the notification bar alert, and the sound / vibrate. Set the sound to silent to mute any account.

Dear snipeeeerz,
From what I know, you can't at the central sounds control? But in whatsapp, you can change the notification so that there are no sound. Other apps, you have to check their app config our settings individually.
Some apps use media sound control (games, media players, chimes), some using system notification (messaging apps), some alarm (alarms and chimes), some ringer. So those are the general controls at the central setting - depending on which the apps used. From what I understood of what you want, you want only certain apps too ring/notify you. In that case, I think you'll have to check the settings from the apps.
Regards.

Questions/toubleshooting

Hi, I recently bought the Honor Play (model COR-L29), which is running EMUI v 9.0.0.156. Having been an iPhone user since it's first release I am struggling to adapt and find the new settings.
1) "Sensitive content" notifications: Notifications don't show any content (just "tap to open") - in settings > Notifications > Lock Screen Notifications I have "Show" selected and in the apps it is also selected. For example, in Messages > Settings > Notifications, they are allowed and "lock screen notifications" are set to "show".
2) Gmail notification numbers: My "App icon badges" are set to "unread messages", and when I have a missed call, new text message etc. a number is shown on the app icon, however with the Gmail app it does not show a number. I have had to use the built-in email app to get this feature working, and as the gmail app cannot be uninstalled I have two apps doing exactly the same function. How can I get the gmail app to show the number?
3) "Volume down" on the lock screen activates the camera. How do I turn this off? I use the SONOS app to control my speakers and lock screen volume control is enabled, but doesn't seem to work unless I wake the screen up, select the notification and then use the volume control. I'd like to be able to just use the volume control if a music app is running.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I spoke with a friend who's running a different android device and undestand it better now:
The text message content will only show if the device is unlocked (so if I raise it and it scans my face) and this is apparently default and unchangable.
I was able to disable the volume button from activating the camera, and believe it's the SONOS app that is at fault for volume control when locked, as apple music works just fine with the volume control.
Not sure about the gmail app, hopefully it's also not app-specific, so if anyone has any insights that'd be great, I'll also check google support s it's mainly just the gmail app trouble I'm having now.
Thanks

Help with notification sound

So if I set one notification under the Sounds setting, which I believed was for all notifications except the ones I have set other sounds for, the Notification sound I set under Sound settings overrides any other settings. Example: Under sound settings, choose tone 1 for notification sound, message settings sets notification sound to tone 2, tone 1 plays for all notifications including messages. On my S8 I could have different notification tones for system and messages. I'm using stock messaging app. Any ideas?
May be a messages issue as i am using separate notification tones for most of my apps e.g whatsapp, signal etc.

You can/should change individual app notification sounds via the individual app settings.
You can also set them all in Settings > Notifications > "See all > choose All from the dropdown menu. you can then click any app to change the notification settings for it.

Restoring default app sound notification!

Been rocking this awesome device for 3 weeks now.
I have an issue with sound notifications for apps, phone overrides the app's default ones.
So far I wasn't able to figure out how to restore default app sound notification.
One example is this game I play KOA, sends different sound notifications for things happening in the game while screen is off, now all have the same sound notification assigned by the phone.
Any input is appreciated!
have you figure it out yet?
