This is related to Google Messages, the application to send and receive SMSs and RCS
I don't know if this is problem with the POCO or with Android 10 becuse of the changes in the Do Not Disturb mode.
I use my phone for work, and I'm on call 24x7 for a week at a time.
I get the alarms thru SMS from a sender that is a name, not a number that I can add to my contacts. On Android 9, using Messages 6.4.044 Acacia, (but it was working as I'll describe with the initial version that came with my previous phone 3 years ago on Android 8).
This is what I was doing on my Mi A1 carring 2 SIMs one personal and the company one (I'm translatiung from Spanish, so the actual wording in English might be different):
Open Messages, go to the 3 dots an the upper right corner.
> select Settings
>> Received messages
>>> Advanced
>>>> Sound ...and here select a distinctive sound for all SMS different than the default notification sound.
Then open the conversation with a previous sms sent by my company (I cannot respond as is not a phone number, but I'll call it conversation)
Go to the 3 dots an the upper right corner within the conversation.
> Select Details
>> Notifications
>>> Advanced
>>>> ENABLE Bypass Do Not Disturb so it will sound even when dnd is enabled
>>>>Sound Select a Special tune for the Conversation so it sounds different from other SMS.
During the day I know when I get an SMS or if is a Urgent one from work because of the sound and during the night I could enabe DND and only get alerted by urgent work messages.
On Androd 10. The new phone is a POCO X3 NFC (Again the phone is set to Spanish, so is a rough translations of the menu labels):
Open Messages, go to the 3 dots an the upper right corner.
> select Settings
>>General (since I carry 2 SIMS one personal and the company one there 3 menus. General, one for SIM1 and another for SIM2)
>>> Notifications
>>>> Received messages
>>>>> Sound ...and here select a distinctive sound for all SMS different that the default notification sound.
Then open the "conversation" containing previous SMSs sent by the company I work for
Go to the 3 dots an the upper right corner within the conversation.
> Select Details
>> Notifications
>>> Sound Select a Special tune for the Conversation so it sounds different from other SMS.
There is no advanved menu, no switch to ENABLE Bypass Do Not Disturb so it will sound even when dnd is enabled. Only priority (highest prirotity doesn't bypass DND and also an entry to select what to do on the lock screen with the msgs and its content)
Result: During the day I cannot tell an on-call SMS from the rest as THE LAST SOUND selected for a particular conversation is APPLIED to ALL incoming SMS.
During the night I CANNOT set DND so all notifications from all applications sound, because if I enable DND the On-Call SMS cannot bypass DND and I don't ge awaken in case of problems at work.
I reported this thru the application twice; once in Spanish and once in English, but did not get an answer and I cannot see the report in my sent email box, so I'm not sure it was received.
Edit: I became Beta tester for messages, now I use version 7.1.080 Hickory but the problem persists.
I'm using IFTTT to parcially solve the issue, but is not the solution.

All,
I am trying to configure Tasker to send an autoSMS to incoming callers when I place the phone face down. This is what I have so far:
New profile (Named Silence Mode)-> Phone State > Call Incoming + Orientation Face Down
New Task (Named Silence Ringer) -> 1. Ringer Volume set to Level 0 (silent) -> 2. Send SMS ->Number Field set to %SMSRB (checked box for Store in Messaging App) -> Message: I am currently busy at the moment. I will get back to you asap.
Are these the right settings? I am unsure of the Number field (%SMSRB).

Use this thread for Tasker questions. Read the opening as well. Lots of good information.

Hey! I am at a loss.
I am trying to mute my notifications and calls. But, I want them to come in (so I can read them, when I turn on the screen).
Bottom line: I want to read incoming messages in a room, where notifications (sound or vibrate) would be a disturbance, and I wanna see who calls, in case it's important.
Additionally, I don't want to shut off alarms (set with the stock clock app).
Currently I archieve the goal by pressing 'volume down' --> select 'NONE'.
Sadly, that setting doesn't allow alarms.
When I use 'volume down' --> 'IMPORTANT', as soon as I turn on the screen, the phone beeps when a message arrives (in settings, all important disturbances are switched off).
So as I see it, 'IMPORTANT' only shuts off the alarm sound as long as the phone's screen is off.
Please help. It's pretty much a simple search for the equivilant setting in Android 5 for the 4.4-silent-mode. :fingers-crossed:
[EDIT: Sorry for some incorrect translations. 'IMPORTANT' is actually called 'PRIORITY'. There might be others ]
Step 1: Make sure you have no starred contacts. If you don't know what this means, you should be fine you can ignore this.
Step 2: Go to Settings -> Sound & Notifications -> Interruptions -> Change Calls/ messages from to "Starred contacts only".
Step 3: Press the volume up/down button once. Then do this:
Do you think 3rd party applications will be able to use this functionality? I.e WhatsApp etc?

I really hope custom Roms will include this again!
Maybe this will help you

Thank you very much. That does in deed work (couldn't make it work for TEXTRA, but for Google Messenger as standard texting app that solution actually helps).
[With TEXTRA right now I have to toggle to vibrate, and then as well set notifications to 'PRIORITY'.]
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 have problems with the do not disturb settings. When activated, Apps are still able to play a sound if a notification comes in.
My configuration is
Media in do not disturb turn silent > on
Exceptions:
Notifications - blank, no option activated
Message and Calls - only from favored contacts (with stars in contact app)
At my old Samsung S9+, I had similar settings and it worked like it should. Even as example, when a favored contact sends a whatsapp message, sound plays. When a normal contact sends a message, whatsapp was silent. And no notification sound from other apps.
Do I have a misconfiguration or is something wrong with the DND?
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?
