Hello,everyone! Newbie here. So a lot of searcing on internet and file explorations,I can't find any way to change "conversation tone" in WhatsApp. I really like to iMessage incoming and outgoing conversation tones but I kinda not fan of use iPhone as my main phone. So I have been searching to change WhatsApp's original conversation tone to iMessage conversation tone. My Android phone is rooted and I guess I can switch/change this tone sounds in root explorer apps or something. I need your help to do this,please any information is golden for me. So,please help me !!!:crying::highfive:
I need this too. Did you find anything?
Method to change whatsaap tone
Launch WhatsApp from your Home screen.
Tap on the Settings tab. ...
Tap on the Notifications button.
Tap on the Sound button under the WhatsApp calling heading. ...
Tap on the sound you want to set as the ringtone.
Tap the Save button
I need this too. Changing the notification tone isn't what we want.
The thing is, when you chatting with someone, incoming messages doesn't trigger if you're in the chat, instead it sounds something when the message shows up.
It's kinda hard to explain, but at least, it's not notification tones, that's easy to customize.
I know what you mean guys. I have been looking for that answer for years. all we need is the path to the right folder so we can do it.
Anyone? Please, please, please.

hi.. i was thinking of something that may be of use regarding stopping SMS tone sound/vibrate via keypress (or assigned key) or screentap..
maybe if we could have a background program that monitors incoming SMS.. when an SMS comes in, it plays the selected sms tone and/or vibrate - but at the same time, captures all buttons (or an assigned key perhaps - like games) and/or screen areas so that it continues to play the song only if any of these actions (button press or tap) are made -in which the background program will stop the tone and or vibration it is playing..
the thing is, there is really no way of stoping any notification because it is handled by the OS itself..
so, maybe one of the initial requirements for this idea to fully work is to disable the native SMS Sound (and vibrate) notification so that the OS will do nothing upon an incoming SMS.. (it can be done so by unchecking the play sound and vibrate boxes in the incoming text message section of the Sounds and Notifications Settings)
so the SMS notification function (sound and vibrate) will be fully handled by the proposed program suggestion..
imagine it like this..
it is like having a background media player with just 1 song in its playlist and that is your SMS alert tone..
it stays in the background, invisible, but it monitors the sms notification database.
if an incoming SMS (or email whatever) is detected, it starts to play the song in the playlist once..
it then takes control over all physical input controls in the device (buttons, scrolls, volume sliders, touchscreen) - ala buttons locking program - in which all of the input controls are assigned as a STOP playing function..
so when you press a button (or tap the screen whatsoever) the program will stop the background music, unlock all buttons to it's normal functions and returns to the background - awaiting another incoming SMS..
another analogy can be made is that it is like an alarm clock program, it stays in the background, but instead of waiting for a time to strike before activating the alarm, it waits for an incoming SMS (or email whatsoever).. and like alarm programs, it will become activated from the background (so that it will become the top/active window/program) and takes control of the hardware buttons and the screentaps (some alarm programs do this so you can stop the alarm with any button or screen tap).. then after dismissing the alarm, it returns to the background and once again wait.. the only difference is, the active window of this program is invisible, meaning, no visible window will be imposed in the screen (only the title bar will change i presume)..
it sounds simple enough.. but i'm no programmer and i don't have any idea if even half of what i said can easily be done..
i just know that these things can be done because such things have already been done or is a part of exsisting programs.
like detecting incoming SMS (can be done by scripting, or have been done by SMS-like programs)
making a program that resides in the background
making a program that is invisible (not detectable by task manager and has no visible window) even if active
and of course music playback and vibration control (aside from media players most of these are alarm programs)
i hope this can help.. and someone can develop a little program from the idea..
thanks..
here is some reference/source code on detecting incoming SMS .. i don't know if it works because i can't read .net and progy stuff.. but i hope it can help

anyone?
guess programmers are busy.. hehehe..
It's more like nobody's interested.
Though I do kinda miss it when my Nokia stops playing the alert/vibrate when I press a button.. but I'm already ok with it right now.
I just make short alert tones 3 - 5 seconds long.
Ok lang yan pre, mga tao kasi dito ayaw ng may additional background services pa dahil every byte of memory counts. Unless kaya talaga nila baguhin ung notification dll, they won't be interested.
I actually wouldnt mind this as well! Although im not a ppc programmer or anything.
But i cant assign a longer sms tone (The one that goes "Message....Message...Message....") and as it goes longer it slowly goes louder and louder.
Love that sms tone but i cant put it on because i cant stop it by pressing a button - which you could do with normal phones.
Im keen to support and this project if anyone takes it!
(Im glad i wasnt the only person who wanted this!)
thanks for the support guys.. upping this again, hoping that some good programmer can spare some time..
yeah.. i really miss the "normal" phone/notification behavior of other Mobile OS..
the problem is so basic that the big annoyance and inconvinience can't easily be tolerated..
it's been a problem ever since people started using a WM phone (and i've been using WM phones for almost 5 years now)..
they say, just assign shorter tones.. but that is not the point.. doing so is not really a solution.. it is more likely tolerating the problem and adding another problem..
the problem with assigning short SMS tones is that you are limited only to short ones (which is a rarity these days), and most of the times the old school cheesy ones..
cropping and converting tones (mostly from mp3 songs) to shorter ones need a PC (or a special in phone program), which is a hassle all the time.. you can't even download and immediately use tone contents off the web/wap/carrier or use tones sent from other people's phones.. you always need to shorten it up so it won't play infinitely when receiving a text message..
@kabayan da vinci.. mahirap talaga maging iba sa nokia country.. hehe..
up again for someone to notice.. hehe..
up again..
Guess no one really wants this except you and myself ytsejam_....haha...
i don't really get it.. it is an OS/Phone function and SHOULD be given attention.. and should have been so, decades ago.. but people are just plain gaga about skinning and all apps and stuff nowadays are centered on making our WMs into iphones (instead of solving OS problems)..
the basic problems and functions already ignored..
well.. just my 2 cents.. i'm also grateful for the nice skin and plugin apps made in this forum.. and much respect for those people..
and.. please.. no flaming thanks
up again..
Upped, has anyone found an alternative or anything?
Hi, just come across this thread. My Samsung Omnia CAN stop the sound/vibration on incoming SMS by pressing the hang button, dunno if other PPC/PDA's will behave the same way
Btw, my old Nokia 6280 worked exactly the same way, just pressing the hang button
this would be realllly nice.. i just want a normal music ringtone that doesnt have to play for 30 seconds everytime i get a text

hey i want this too... its kinda irritating me u see. i have msg tone which is about 10seconds i cant wait that long to read a msg hehehe so everytime when the SMS tone i playing i read a msg while its playing the nexttime a msg comes the sound does not play at all. So im supporting this one hoping someone could do something with this..
maybe if there was a way to play 2 tones but the second would be silent n play when u open a message that might stop the first tone
Up 1. I support this idea too. It's kinda irritating when u in some meeting or conferences while u forget to silent up ur phone. The tone will keep ringing until it end. Me myself met this situation b4 and the bad experience still irritating me... XD
ytsejam_ : Based from your handle, you must've wanted to assign a Dream Theater song as your text tone... That's why you thought of this... Hehehe!
BTT: I support this idea, as well...
I hadn´t look the full API searching for a solution for there problem, but I imagine that there´s now way stop the SO playing a sound after he started. What could happen is to turn-off all the SO notifications for SMS and use another program to show this notifications... then in this new program includes an option to stop play the sms tone...
Testing in my HTC Touch... when I use the hardware button for setting volume... it stop vibration and playing sound for calls and sms incoming...
some idea
i noticed that you can stop the long sms alert by navigating to sounds & notifications - sms tone , and press stop button ■. maybe someone can find the source code to relate this touch button press to hardware button in order to stop the tones.
Up!up!up!up!up!up!up!up!up!up!
My TP2 stopped making any notification of incoming text messages or e-mails. I thought that incoming e-mail/ sms was controlled by the sound control, and that when we turned single volume off, we were setting one volume for ringing and another for system.
Silly me, I thought that System was e-mail and SMS message. But it looks like it is only things like low battery. Am I correct?
Where the heck is the control for e-mail volume. Also, I am trying to make distinctive rings for some individual e-mails. I have been able to go into an individual contact, edit contact, and then go to ringtones. But will that give me an individual ringtone when they call, or can I also get an individual alert when they text or e-mail me.
Then net of my problem now is that e-mail reception is silent. Then when I get the sound back I want to know if it is possible to get individual alerts.
Thanks.
Settings>Sound>Advanced>
make sure Events and Program Notifications are checked.. and go into Notofications and go through the pull down menu and make sure new email and new txt and new mms have sounds selected and checked "play sound"
Thanks. I did not make it deep enough into Notifications.

I want to use a different ringtone for sms/messages.
But the one I want to use doesn't come up in Settings.
What folder do I need to put that "ringtone" in?
It's currently in "ringtones", does it need to be in "notifications" Or somewhere else?
It should work if it's in notifications
thanks that doed it.

My mp3 will show up as selections. But when I receive a text, it plays one of the generic tone. Actually, doesn't matter what I select, it plays the same old tone.
Messages/Settings/Notifications/Received Messages/Notification Sound
SMS only notification
Is it possible to set up a separate notification for SMS.
Like most people, I want to know about SMS as soon as they arrive, its virtually a societal expectation at this stage! I can only seem to set event notifications, which is annoying, as these can go off in the middle of the night, eg emails, reminders of all day events etc.
if it IS possible to set a special SMS notifier, are there any sounds out there that mimic the urgency of the standard NOKIA tones, as opposed to the bland android ones?
mnt/sdcard/Notifications
is where the sound goes.
then as I said above for settings.
you could try Zedge for free sounds or search the interwebs for a sound you like.
I'm running KelLMSKing MIUI and wondering if there's a way to set a custom notification sound for a contact? Or if anyone can recommend an app that allows it? I had the option when I had a CM7, but now I can't remember if it was CM7 specific or Go Contacts that I was using that enabled it.
And even cooler would be if there is a way to set a default notification sound for contacts not in the address book.
Any ideas?
Isn't that a stock feature of the contacts app?
Start the app, contacts tab, choose a contact by clicking hte name, press menu button, "options", choose ringtone.
Oops, sorry I should have been more clear. I mean a text message notification, not ringtone.
There are different SMS apps in the market.
Handcent SMS can do what you wish. An alternative is GoSms Pro.
Ahh, it was a feature of Go SMS that I used to have. I just installed Handcent (since I've already tried Go) and found the option to change the notification sound for a contact.
I was hoping there would be a way to set a notification sound for contacts not in my address book, but there doesn't seem to be. In other words, have a default sound for everyone, I can customize it for some, and a different sound for someone I don't know. Mostly so that I can set it so that texts from Facebook will sound different, and can be ignored.
As a workaround, I will try adding all of facebook's numbers as they come in to a contact.
Thanks for pointing me to Handcent!
EDIT: It's a terrible workaround. Even though I can add all the 326-123-45 numbers from facebook into one contact, Handcent assigns the custom sms notification to the number, not the contact. So then I'll have to go through and edit the notification for each one anyway.
So now I'm still looking for a way to assign a custom notification sound to unknown contacts.
Hi... I've converted to Android 3 days now and love my new P20! But... One feature I miss from my iPhone is setting different notification sounds for emails / texts / apps. I also had separate text tones for each contact. I can see how you do this in Android. Is there a way to do this? All help & guidance gratefully received!
Juls.
Sadly you cannot do these (As of my knowledge) with EMUI 8.1 . But you can change the call ringtone of reach contact by going to Contacts -> The Contact name -> Ringtone to change the ringtone
I will be trying to find a way in the meantime
If you're using gmail app, open app, hit settings, go to general settings, manage notifications, then click on the mail account (left side where is says "Allow these notifications to make sounds") and not the bar to turn on notifications. Now click on sound to choose your sound.
