custom ringtone for text message - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to customize text message notifications for individual contacts . I can do it for the ringtones but not the messages. if there isn't a way does anyone know of a free app that would make it so I could do this.
thank you

Use another SMS app with that function.

Can you recommend a app. I am new to this .

Use Messenger by Google. It can Archive, Silent and Block messages.

Request: SMS retry?

It is annoying when you have little or no signal and you send an SMS only to get an unable to send SMS notification. It would be great if it could auto retry (AND get rid of the draft when the SMS is successfully sent).
Is there such a program? Couldn't find one on google or here.
Could someone make one?

Not sure with the standard messaging features but add ons like Vito SMS chat have this feature (resend) rather than searching through draft folders like you said.
I would like to bump this thread again. This can be a real annoyance and I can't imagine a skilled developer would take long to write an app to do this.

I completely support the statement that this is super annoying. Can't imagine why noone has tackled the issue so far.
I think many would appreciate this to be done..
so the app should always be running in the background?

Maybe integrated to the WIndows default SMS application?
i think the app should monitor if a new sms is moved to the drafts folder

But this would send even the messages you intended to move to drafts folder. like messages you intended to send later. but if it is not possible for now to integrate to the existing default sms app, i think this is an option. BTW i know you can do this oldsap, ive been using some of your apps since way back to the SAP era. thanks for that.

text messaging

I am looking to find a setting or application that would continue to notify (audible) until a TEXT message is either read/acknowledged or deleted.
Anything like that out there?
Thanks!!!!

yeah - but it will come back every time you exit and press Phone again, also, there is no option to display ALL Call Logs, either ALL or individuals....
We need to get rid of the SMS log entirely... or at least the option whether to log it or not...

i found a (kinda) solution, but you'll have to install GoSMS from the market. Anyway it's an awesome sms app, i used to use Handcent and Chomp but finally settle for this.
Under Settings---> Receive Settings , check "Disable other message notification".
check it out

This better as you don't have to install a whole new ROM:

listen for message opened

hello i'm new here.
so, i want to run some codes when an sms is opened.
what i want to do is basically read a message as it is opened(read or unread) and do some manipulations on it.
so in order to do that as the message is opened, do i have to listen for some activity?
how do i achieve that?

I don't think this is what the OP meant. OP, i'm not 100% positive you can do what you are wanting. Is it possible to do what you want to do when the sms is received?

ya.. thats not exactly what i had in mind.. yes it is possible to do that when the sms is received. But i want to run the code every time the sms is opened. Actually what i want to do is for every open sms, do some manipulations and forward it through bluetooth. is there any way to keep track of that?

You can create your own app to open SMS messages. However, you cannot grap any Intents because someone might use a custom SMS app.

SMS and Call blocker

Does anyone know any app to block unwanted SMS mainly, secondly the Calls without changing the native (saumsungs) SMS app
You can do it with the stock sms app
I'd love to block sms from operator which telling me some spam every time I left my country. Stock app can't do it.
As far as I know, you can not block an SMS without a number like operator sms. If you want to block those you have to use a third party SMS app like Android Messages. It's cool. I'm using it. Even it can mute SMSs too. Give it a try. :good:
