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 been having problems with my notification (and alarm) sounds not coming through. I've got the latest t-mobile stock ROM. Somehow i stumbled across the potential problem. I just found the culprit today, so i don't have a work around yet, but hoping that others will find one. Or I'll post if i get a resolution.
I was missing texts because the phone would not utter a noise when i got one. I checked the volumes and they were all up. Reboots usually fixed it. Somehow (i forget why) I started suspecting my Youmail app. I uninstalled and rebooted. I'm good. then installed it again. still good. I listened to a VM on Youmail app. Then checked notifications and they didn't work. To test, I'd open SMS app (stock) and try to change the notification sound. It would fail (silent) as i tried to preview sounds. But opening the files in the music app or ES explorer would allow them to play.
Reboot would fix the problem. But as soon as i listened to a VM on YouMail app, the notifications would not play in the selection screen for text messages (or in the event of an incoming text). Volumes were still all up.
My current work around is this: after listening to a VM, I bring up the task switcher (double tap home) and swipe away YouMail (effectively terminating the app). That works if you remember to do it. I've sent YouMail a detailed explanation through their online help service. I will update here if i get a response or find closure on this issue.

They updated the app on 8/28/2015. This seems to have fixed the problem.
Hey there,
I want to change/enable the notification sounds on a new mail for the Outlook app.
I got to:
Settings --> E-Mail section --> Notifications --> sound for a new message
If I select this, I will be redirected to the notification settings of Android, where I can disable notifications.
Anyone having this as well?
How shall I change the sounds then?
Attached some screenshots of the screens (in German)
Anyone does have an idea?
I do have this in several apps, but here it's driving me nuts.
I had the same problem with Outlook. Ended up with uninstall, and changed notification sound first thing when I re-installed. Worked like a charm.
Any solution yet?
I'm having the same issue. I tried unistalling, rebooting and reinstalling but the issue is still there. I like to set different incoming message tones as I monitor several different accounts.
I'm having the same issue. I tried unistalling too, rebooting and reinstalling too, but the issue is still there. Sound for Outgoing is ok. Carsten
I connected Microsoft about this issue. After mentioning that it was in a Huawei P20 Pro, this is the response that I received:
"Thank you, i understand but this is really related to Huawei devices as it works on other devices with Android Oreo.
I'm really sorry about that but as i have said, this was reported to our Engineering Team and they confirm that's related to Huawei devices as they are customized.
Please let me know if you have any other questions"
Typical useless Microsoft answer
Same problem here. Can't change default tone for Messages, Gmail, Outlook, Outlook calendar and more... According to Huawei support (Norway), the development team is aware of the issue, and are "working on it".
See this thread on how to access the Settings necessary to customize the notifications for all apps.
It works great! Let me know if you need help getting it working.
I've also created a thread here on how to do this with Tasker. I have unique notifications for each of my apps now, plus you can set additional conditions/triggers the other apps or methods don't allow. If you're not using Tasker yet you're really missing out on the potential this phone has. You can find the thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...-to-custom-app-notifications-rid-one-t3821776
If it is a Huawei problem it is strange that you can set notifications for some apps (Hangouts and Whatsapp for instance) and not others. You would think if google can sort it for Hangouts they could do it for the messaging app! Makes no sense to me.

It's because some apps handle notifications in-app (like WhatsApp) and others let the Android system handle them. The ones that rely on Android handling in EMUI 8.1 seem to be forced to a single default sound. It's actually a very simple explanation as to what's happening, as to WHY Huawei would do this I'm as confused as you. There are a few available workarounds at least.

I agree but why for instance are someone like Google inconsistent between their own apps (hangouts / messaging). The whole thing is nuts.

Yeah that blows my mind too. Different development teams, lack of a base standard and poor communication between teams maybe? That would be on par for some of Google's past work lol. A lot of programs have become fragmented from their own counterparts within the Google ecosystem I would think.

Perhaps because Android Messages is installed as a system app on the P20 Pro.

Thank you for linking this!
I now have a P20 Lite and my wife has an Honor 10.
This was driving me crazy, but that solution worked perfectly. Especially as I was already using Nova!
Cheers!
I have the same problem. Uninstalling Outlook and reinstalling, I now get a sound but I still can't change it. It only allows "Outlook Email" as my sound.
Same with the Sky Sports and BBC news app, I get the generic notification sound, no option for there own breaking news sound.
Same issues with Huawie P20 pro
I have the same problem with outlook, new mail notifications, very annoying!
for sent mail sounds, the option to change the sound is available, but no option to change the sounds for the received mail, it just doesn't make sense to me at all!
I agree it must be down to Huawie P20 pro
solved !
I have the very same problems, after reading many threads on here I came across this, and the app works 100%

If anyone still having trouble changing the sound for the received email on outlook.
Just install Alertify from google playstore and set a specific sound to use for outlook. Personally I really depend on seeing when an email arrives and I set up a car alarm mp3 to go off to be sure of it.
Hope this helps someone.

Sorry but you can't with the stock android(Google) messages app...
You have to install 3rd party message app like textra to have deferent notifications sound for sms. I had read a solution here in xda too have deferent notifications sound for every app....
Read here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/how-to-custom-app-notifications-rid-one-t3821776
I can recommend textra, I started too use it of that reason.

I just started a thread on this topic a few days ago. You can easily do it with Tasker, it's worth the $3 for everything it can do. I think someone else linked it but I'll link it again. If you have questions ask me there I'll be glad to help

I can't recommend Textra enough. It is one of the first apps I install on every phone.

Thanx. Textra worked perfectly. So the problem is solved
I am coming from the apple camp so apologies in advance if this sounds dumb. I needed a business phone and did not want to spend the apple money so I bought the Mi 9 and I am using Mint Mobile with it (did I said I was cheap). Anyway having used android tablets I have an idea of how things works but since this is the first time I have an android phone, the communication apps are new to me.
So I am trying to figure out the voicemail thing with this phone. I receive alerts when a new voicemail is received but no notification bubble on the phone app or on the status bar. If I missed the alert, I most likely will not know I have a voicemail. Also checking voicemail seems archaic (press and hold 1 and I have to listen through each VM one by one). I am hoping that I am being dumb and one of you can tell me there is a built in app for to get visual voicemail, so far I haven't found it. Please help and point me to the best way to manage voicemails.
you have 2 good alternatives in:
1) youmail
or
2) your service providers custom visual voicemail app (typciallty can be found in the playstore)
