Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to set up custom text sounds for different contacts when they text me? I can't figure it out with this phone.
I can set different ringtones for when they call me, but there is no other field to set up different text notification tones, which is what I need to do. Thanks!
Where? General contacts or in a specific app...?

on my old phone, I had a separate text sound (and separate ringtones when they would call) for my husband, daughter, son, etc... that's what I'm trying to do, and I think I may almost have it figured out!
This thread is a few days old, but I slightly struggled figuring this out when I originally shot my Galaxy S3 from 4.3 to 6.0.1.
1. Open a message from who's tone you want to change.
2. Click the three dots in the top right corner of the messenger window
3. Select "People & Options"
4. Select "Sound" and choose the notification sound for that contact
Different notification sounds Moto G Plus
I can change notification sounds for different contacts but would like to have different sounds for different apps. So I can tell the difference between an SMS and a Tweet for example. Can anyone help me with this? It seems to use default notification sound for everything.

Sorry if this seems like a couple of daft questions but I can't seem to find them out myself.
1) Is there a way to make the notification sound different for a text and an email. Right now if I receive either I hear the same sound, with the number of emails I get a day I tend to ignore it which now results in my not seeing I have a text till a couple hours later.
2) Is there some way to see how many texts and calls I've made over a set period of time? All the phones I've had before would give totals for me which I could then reset but I can't find that in this phone. I've downloaded an app called Phonalyzr but it doesn't do what I'm really after.
on the first point, go to Messages, press Menu --> Settings --> Select ringtone
same for email
hmm i dont seem to be able to do that. When I change the notification sound in either the messaging app or the default phone settings it changes in both. I dont have the option to change it in mail (I use activesync btw).
Its very annoying to have the same sound for both.
The notification sound set in the main phone settings will be for anything on the phone that you haven't set a different one for.
If you then go to messages and in the first messages window with "compose message" at the top, press menu / settings /scroll down to notication setting and choose select sound - you can then choose a different sound for messages.
There's currently no option to choose a different sound for gmail or mail as far as I know.

but when i open my Gmail, Menu, Settings, i get the Choose Ringtone option....first is Default Ringtone, then others :/
You are right Suisen - Thanks - Meant the HTC Mail one, but of course you can change the gmail notify to a seperate one. I just not done it on my Hero.
With most progs, if the app itself allows you to select a sound it'll have its own, but if not, it plays the one you choose in main Phone settings.

Cheers for that, now I know when to actually look at my phone when it makes a sounds
Email, vs text, vs picture message??
Also - when I get a facebook notification.......why doesn't my phone tell me about it like all my friend blackberries and iphones do?
Sigh.
you have to go into each individual program, hit the menu touch capacative button, hit settings, and then check the notification option and choose the ringtone. as for the facebook issue, eveyone has it. I receive notifications ver sporadically and few and far between. Its just something wrong with the facebook ap.
Edit: as for mms notifications, I'm pretty sure that its the same as the sms notification. Just go to settings, sound nd display, and choose the ringtone.

Thanks, I figured I just wasn't thinking!
I apologize if this is not the correct forum/thread to post this . . .
I am trying to change the "ding" sound that FB Messenger plays everything a new message arrives but I haven't had any success. I have changed both the Notification Sound and Ringtone sound but it seems that these sounds are separate from where the "ding" notification from and I can't find the location where to change it. The smartphone is not rooted. I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
It's in the "Notifications & Sounds" settings under in the Messenger app.
The default notification sound is called "Messenger" -- change it to whatever you want.
This post (#3) and post #4 are Identical. as I accidentally posted it twice and am unable to delete this post. Please refer to post #4.

Got it! Thank you. I have downloaded and transferred couple of sounds file onto the Notification folder of the smartphone and have been able to select them as an option for other apps (facebook, instagram, etc.) but for some reason I don't see those as an option with FB Messenger. I tried placing it in other folders but had no luck. Is it a specific folder where I should place the file in order to see it as an option for FB Messenger?

I had the same problem. You have them in the right spot, but you need to give Messenger permission to access them.
I have a somewhat related question.. when a notification comes from, let's say, an sms app and I have my phone set to notify me every minute of unread notification, how do I make the sound of repeat notification the same as the the original notification of whatever notified me on the first place (in this case sms app)?

I'm not sure if this is related at all but either way, in order for these experts to help you, I think you need to be a bit more specific (at least for me to try to help ) such as what is the name of this sms app and an example of what you're trying to do exactly.

Okay so I have an SMS application called go SMS pro and I have a ring tone set for it through go SMS pro app. when I receive a text message that ring tone rings but when the notification keeps repeating the sound at this point is different , it's the default in the system instead of the one I set in the app. I hope that's a little bit more clear . I used to be able to set the ring tone for repeat notifications directly in the app but that was an older versions now I have to set it through my phone settings and that sound is different than the one set in go SMS pro. also the repeat notification sound that is set in my phone settings sounds for everything that gets repeated doesn't matter of the application. so I have different ring tones set for different applications but when that notification gets repeated it all defaults to just one ring tone stead of the ones I set for each application
Just picked up my Moto G5+ from Costco a couple of days ago. For the most part I like this phone. Biggest benefit is the lack of crapware from the cell carrier.
I however am used to setting a custom ringtone and notification tones from a contacts information page. Meaning go to the contacts app, select a contact, choose the edit (pencil) scroll down till I find ringtone and/or notification tone. Select new tones as wanted/needed.
As such on previous phones when I received a SMS or a MMS either from an individual or sent to a group I could tell who sent the message without looking at my phone.
(This does not appear to be the case on my G5+.)
This was sent to me via the Lenovo/Moto website.
"For SMS, open a conversation > click on options (3 dots) > people and options > now customise notification here.
For calls, open contacts app > click on a contact > click on edit > click on options (3 dots)> set ringtone."
It gets me part of the way there. But the notification tones are for the individual message not the contact.
Any help is appreciated.

Are you sure you followed the above steps correctly? Open contact app, select a contact, press edit, press options, select set ringtone, select whatever ringtone you want. That's it.
If you want to use ringtones apart from those which comes with phone, then put your ringtone file in the folder named "Ringtones" in internal storage. Now you should be able to select them in the list. Hope this helps.
Where is the setting to change ringtone for the received SMS?
I don't see any such setting in the (stock) SMS app, and in global Settings/Sounds, there are only options to set ringtone for calls, alarm, events and notification - none of them corresponds to SMS

Good one
Go to settings, sound and vibration, there you have 4 rectangles at the very top, right bottom is notification tile, so you know what to do

Hmm ok, but that means SMS must share the same tune as any other notification (excl. calls, alarms and calendar events). Pretty bad design from Xiaomi
Besides, this is a dual SIM phone, hence expected to be able to define different 'ringtones' for SMSes received over different SIM cards (fortunately, ringtones for calls can be distinguished per SIM channels)
Dude, do you even went through settings or used search in settings?
You can set specific ringtone to every contact and you also can go to settings, notifications where you have every app with possibility to set specific notification and ringtone

Dude, I don't want to set different ringtone for every contact, but simply want to distinguish from which SIM channel did SMS come.
I will be very grateful if you show me where is that in the MiUi Settings.
And I know that eg WhatsApp and similar apps can set their own, different tumes (to distinguish from default notification - but this is not thanks to MIUI or XiaomiI, but thanks to those apps and their developers themselves.
Found it, it is possible to define different ringtones for SMS received via SIM 1 and SIM 2, by using Setedit app and by changing the values for:
sms_received_sound_slot_1
sms_received_sound_slot_2
in the System Table
