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!

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.

I am on infused 2.1.0 and have a question about sms notification
I cannot find anywhere an option to change the text message notifcation sound.
The one that the phone uses now is too short and very hard to hear even with the volume jacked.
I LOVE this phone and glad I got rid of my iphone but the sms notification is just so very poor in terms of sound quality compared to the iphone
thanks for the help
Messaging uses the default notification sound if I remember correctly. From your home screen tap the Menu button then tap Settings > Sound > Notification ringtone then select something that is louder. Trust me. The phone comes with plenty of ways to get your attention
thanks for the post. Notifications will allow me to change the sound for say an incoming email but there is nothing that will allow me to change the one for a text????
Not with the default Messaging app. It's coded to use the "global" notification ringtone. If you want to pick a specific notification sound for your SMS messages you'll need to use a different app for SMS messages (which will give you A LOT more features than the standard Messaging app anyway). I like Handcent SMS but other people seem to like Chomp SMS too. Give it a shot. The apps are free and easy to use.
ok are you using the infused ROM? when I go to notifications, the sound I choose is for email but the SMS is totally different !!!!!!!!
Nah, I'm using CM7 at the moment. If I'm wrong that's my bad but I coulda swore Messaging used the default notification ringtone. If Messaging actually uses its own settings for a notification ringtone it has to be somewhere in Messaging's settings menu.
Open up the stock messaging app. Press menu, settings, scroll all the way to the bottom, and the last option is select ringtone.

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.
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.
I have a 12 Lite, but I'm guessing this might be similar for all 12 models.
I'm using the standard Google Messages app, and I like to set different sound notifications for text messages from certain contacts. So to start, I go into the main Messages settings area, then Notifications, Incoming Messages, and set a universal ringtone sound we'll call "A". So far so good. Then I go into a conversion I want to make unique, hit the three dots, Details, Notifications, and change the Sound to ringtone "B".
Problem is, changing to ringtone "B" for a specific contact also goes back and changes it to "B" for the universal ringtone for everybody. Then if I go back to re-set the universal ringtone to "A", it also overwrites the specific one I had set for my unique contact. I can't keep them separate.
I've also tried doing this from the main Settings app, and it behaves the same way (I think they both end up in the same place anyhow)
Has anyone successfully set unique text notification sounds for specific contacts?
I have searched on the site and don't find this issue. Despite everything I have tried, I cannot change the from the soft, default Google Messages notification sound. I have even tried changing individual sounds on a person by person basis and that doesn't work. I have gone into sounds and notifications in settings, also tried by going into the Messages app. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Easy way just get Zedge and add new sound through that

I can change the system default with no problem but the default per contact is a fail, so I feel you. Same with other alerts, like my Google Cameras. Wil lNOT set a different alert sound than the system default

I can't even get the default to change. I have tried everything I can think of. Sounds and notifications, in the app itself, just can't figure it out and this is my 4th Pixel.
There are two locations for "setting" notification sounds for Google Messages as well as "default notification sound" UNDER "Sound and Vibration"!
Now if both of these are set to the same thing then everything will work OK. However, if the default location is set to one sound and the app setting is something else...then it's a toss up as to which will take precedence.
So here is my suggestion for two possible solutions.
Under settings>Sound and vibration>Default notification sound>My Sounds and select NONE. Now you can go to the messages app itself and tap on your avatar in the top right>Messages settings>Notifications>Other notifications>Sound and choose whatever sound you want. This will give you the sound you want for any messages you receive in the messages app. However, this will leave any other type of notifications such as a calendar reminder with NO sound (unless you assign one specifically to the calendar in the same relative manner as you just did with messages. I chose the calendar as an example because once you dig in and find the notification sound set for your calendar it is probably set to "Default notification sound" which you just set to NONE.
The second possible solution is to change the default notification sound to what you want and the messages app to the same sound. This will ALSO make all the other notification type sounds the same as in the previous calendar example.
Now you can always set the calendar to some thing different and it MIGHT work as you set it despite the default being set to something specific and it might not.
So of the two methods I have suggested the one that should work the best is to set the default notification sound to NONE and then go into each individual app that may give off a notification sound and give each one what you want. I hope this helps!
I am able to change my default sound to a different per app basis by going to profile picture and then clicking on message settings and select notifications then selecting behavior sound and more and from there select incoming messages then choose your sound for your messages. This is how google messages does it

Thank you for the detailed write up. I tried both solutions but still nothing. I even took this one step further and tried to sync the two with the ring sound so all three would be identical. However I can't do that because none of the tones in the ring match notifications or message sounds. I don't know what the glitch in my matrix is, but this is frustrating as heck. This isn't my first rodeo, and I refuse to believe I have some special P7P that prevents message notification modifications.

Can you share a screenshot of the "Behavior Sound" screen? I don't see that as an option on my P7P. Thank you for the response.
Here you go
Oh I forgot 1
I'm sorry I put it kinda step by step I just put it the way I would like to see it
Please let me know if I can be a further help to you
I also do not have a setting called "behavior sound"?
I wonder if it appears due to a particular setting or because of the model number of your P7P?
Here is a YouTube video telling you how

It is so weird, after playing with settings for days, yesterday I started hearing my phone doing the notification for when out Ring cameras detect movement. Since I don't always check the video right away, it took until this morning to understand now my message notifications have started using same ring tone. What is weird is I set that tone during the time of this conversation. Huh...
