Recently purchased a (used) HTC Inspire, looks like running Android 2.3.3.
Apparently, the previous user had changed the Notification sound specifically within Messaging, and so when I change the general System Notification sound, the sound within Messaging doesn't change with it.
Is there a simple way to return the Notification within Messaging back to Default (so it responds to/with changes to the main System Notification)?
Thanks in advance.
Bump, I was going to post about the same thing but it seems there's already a post, I might as well bump it to get someone to answer.

Hi,
This is kind of a stupid question, but I've searched and haven't found an answer for it.
I've installed an application to send/receive SMS's, however the original SMS notification still appears when I receive an SMS (I get two notification, one from original app, as well as the replacement app).
is there an option to disable the notification of the original app ?

Go into the original messaging application, settings. Done.
This should have really been posted in the Dream forum, not the developer forum.
or simply opened owners manual....
...or spent 2 mins actually lookin in phone settings...
I am a new Z3 owner (D6603, rooted, locked BL on 23.0.1.A.5.77) coming from a long list of Samsung devices. I've noticed two small things that bug me and wanted to ask if these are normal.
The first thing is, for lack of a better word, keeping apps in the background. For instance, if I am in the twitter app, click on a link to a story which opens in Chrome, then share the story via email by way of chrome's share function, it then opens my email app. When I'm done sending the email and hit the back button, instead of taking me back to Chrome, it returns me to the home screen. This is different than every other Samsung device I have. Those will return me to chrome, then hitting the back button again returns me to twitter app. Basically it reverses the complete path. I'll admit this might seem silly but given my normal workflow of going from app to app, returning on the same path is important. Is there some setting on the Z3 that I need to set to enable this behavior?
The second has to do with notifications. If I have multiple notifications, as expected, the icons for each notification appear in the notification bar when the notification window is collapsed, but as soon as I click on any one of the notifications, the icons disappear from the collapsed notification bar. If I expand the notification bar, all the notifications are still there, but the icons don't show when the notification bar is collapsed. Is this normal for the Z3?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi there
Regarding your first problem: I actually just tried this with Facebook (clicking a link), open Chrome and sharing it via Gmail
and it behaves just as you said you wanted it to, it brought me back to Chrome and then back to FB.
That notifications disappear from the status bar (collapsed notification bar?) is really unusual.
Never happened to me before, neither did I hear/read about such problems.
I'd suggest to either check if some apps are causing this (like apps which handle notifications)
or reflash the firmware through recovery (but a different, maybe your own created zip) as I think
the first problem is a system failure.
Maybe someone else can help you better, just wanted to let you know that this isn't usual for the Z3
Settings, Personalisation, Clear viewed notifications
Edit: The default setting is unticked btw, so I guess you must have changed it.

Thank you! That took care of the notification problem.
So I just noticed the back glass panel on my phone wasn't fully glued at the factory. Kind of a major defect for a waterproof phone. Shame, I really like the phone but sending it back for replacement. Hopefully the new one doesn't have the recents problem. Thanks everyone.
HI,
Very new to LG Gq D800 model and have a couple of questions. Phone is updated to lollipop and is currently on T-mobile sim. I have two questions:
1. The ringer and notification volumes are so low. Any way to increase them. I saw the mod for earlier android version but nothing for Lollipop. Anyone find a fix?
2. The stock Home launcher looks awesome but my eyes are hurting looking at those icon sizes. The text size on the phone seems fine (eg. messaging app is ok), but the home page icons and their titles are just too small to make out and hurts my eyes. Tried messing with DPI settings but doesnt seem to change those icon title size. Also tried changing text setting to Large font with no joy. Any pointers on what to change? My phone is rooted.
Thanks so much.
Hi, I am trying to assign a message sound/tone that specific contacts as you would do without the the ringer to be. I can't find 'message tone' under settings. any suggestions. Thanks

It's not called "message tone" it's called "notifications" under the sound settings. However there is no option for you to do what your asking with Stock firmware you'll need to find a custom Rom to have this option. I think Lineage Rom let's you do this.
Has this been removed in android 8 or is this samsug s7? (i don't have this phpne longtime yet, bought it 2nd hand for my car that has android auto) there used to be an option in sound settings that had 4 options like email, sms messages and 2 more, you could change the notification sound over there and in sms app there was also an option in the settings to change the sound of receiving an sms but i can't seem to find it ?
EDIT nevermind found it, its in messages app/settings/notifications/general notifications

I think you've misunderstood the OP, notification for a specific contact like your mother in law or something. Ive only ever seen this in a custom ROM.

That used to be in android by default also.
I charged my old samsung s4, it has kitkat 4.4 stock rooted firmware and in there you can select a different ringtone, sms notification sound and vibrate pattern for every contact.
Edit, i just checked my samsung A5 which has android 7 and the option to change the notification sound for text messages was still there in android 7
Hello guys, I just wanted to ask whether it would be possible to remove lockscreen notifications but keep them on Always on Display?
I have already posted this question on Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus forum but I did not get the answer so I wanted to ask here.
Thank you in advance!
Not sure about the Sammies but my HTC has a separate menu item for Lockscreen messages. By always show I assume you mean when the phone is unlocked, so that when you're playing a game or something the message pops up. The quickest way to find out if you have the option to hide sensitive messages or not display them at all on your lockscreen is to go to settings and in the search bar at the top begin typing Lockscreen. It should popup in the results. Depending on the apps you use I know some have options within the app for when, where and how to display notifications. Handcent/Next SMS is one that comes to mind.
