Custom sms text tones on default dialer/contacts app - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Anyone who owns a one plus 6T phone, can you verify something for me. I am considering getting a oneplus 6T phone and wanted to know if you can set custom sms text tones using the default phone/contacts app on a oneplus 6T phone?
Thanks

Yep, you open the dialer and open the contact, hit the button with the 3 dots on top right, set tone

And now to quit the joking: Are you willing to give us a bunch of information or are you serious with this kind of question?
Let me show my screen capture for you.

Okay, you mean when in SMS mode.
The thing is simple: You have to chose the SMS you want to forward first. Use the D-Pad to highlight the wanted message in light blue and then use "forward".
I try to select before but the forward still disable.

Hm, let's try it step by step.
Open the SMS-browser. Then open a conversation with the person you want.
Then you are in the chat-screen like on your second screenshot (the one that mentions "conversation with xxx").
There you have your cursor blinking on the bottom inside the typing screen.
Now use the digital pad (hardware cursorpad) to press up.
The blinking cursor on the bottom should have disappeared now and the first sms message should be highlighted with light blue.
Now press menu on the screen and "forwarding" should be possible.
Ya. It can. Thank skycamefalling so much.

Thanks for that sky..

why cant i just diall the name of the person i want to call

On the mytouchslide I can just dial the name of the person I want to speak with on the g2 I cannot anyway to change this?
That is sense feature. I will miss it when I ditch my EVO and goto the G2. I am not sure if other Dialers will do the same thing.....
There are a few apps for this. I personally like "Star Contacts." I believe another one was "Dialer One."

I use Star Contacts as well.
Ah yes, one of many features that I miss from my slide. That and the full weather animation.

Do any of these programs change the way the dialer looks. I don't want a change in the look just the feature
My suggestion would be to just tap the search button, type the name in there, and click the dial icon.

No. Here's Star Contacts. Once you get the contact on screen, you click the contact. From there you can call, text or email the contact.
It also provides some enhancements of the call log that I prefer to the standard call log. You get the exact time of the call, not "3 days ago" and you also get the duration of the call in hours, minutes and seconds.
why not use the search button? no really on the phone. you tap the button then type the name and it will look for it in your contacts and you click to dial.
You can get weather animation with beautiful widgets.

lets say you just called them an hour ago, and want to dial them back again
isntead of hitting a total of 2 buttons to call them again, in order to type in their name, you're going to have to do at least 3, and more depending on how long your contact list is, to an average of about, lets say 5.
that would mean a 150% increase in keystrokes...
If you just called them an hour ago (not sure how often *you* make phone calls) they should be near the top of your recent calls...
i use Dialer One, which is similar to the HTC Dialer and has swiping from page-to-page for recents/favs/contacts.
Also, getting a shortcut to the program where you can get to it quickly might help too. If you haven't checked out replacement launchers/homes in the market, I'd suggest it.

What nolsen311 said... Your situation is solved by stock software. I don't think the issue is recent calls, but simply searching for peeps. The stock search button works well.
cant you just flash it and install Desire Z rom?
Can't you just... open the keyboard, type the name, tap the profile image, tap the phone icon (first one)? It's not so complicated.
Works perfect for me!
to the OP... i'm hooked on the HTC Sense way of searching/dialing (T9 "spelling" out a contact's name)
i really like Dialer One - its *very* similar to the Sense interface, if that's what you're coming from
also, a couple times i had an idea for an improvement so i emailed the guy and he fixed it right away - pretty cool!
(ps... that star contacts looks pretty slick - i might just give that a try too!)

For the weather animation and Sense style weather clock widget, check out "Weather and Toggle Widget" by Android Apps in the market. It costs a couple of bucks, but works great. A true Sense style clock and weather widget with full screen animations on stock Android.
If you get it, to get the Sense style to it, download the H7C Clock and H7C Weather themes for it, and the Weather Widget Forecast Addon by Android Apps for the animations.

Notification Slider

Hi,
Small question or comment.
I find it really annoying when I use the slider how the ringtone volume is managed.
Going from All notifications to Priority Only, the Ringtone volume goes down to vibrate.
When I go back to All notifications, the volume stays on vibrate.
Is that normal behavior, any way of changing it ?
Thanks!
I tried this guide without results, try and let me know if it works for you w ww.youtube.com/watch?v=bGXkVprGKsY
edit: i find the solution on oneplus forum.
fix for no active profiles
Go to sounds and notifications and scroll go the bottom where it says notification access and enable tasker and it will work
I made an app doing that. Search for VibrateMode on playstore

how to remove peeking notification?

how to remove headsup or peeking notifications ? on the LG G6 THANKS.
I don't have any peeking notifications unless you're talking about the phone call popup that shows when you're using the phone
When I get a text or any message the notification comes down on the screen I just want to remove that feature of it showing up on the screen while I'm doing something

Okay no what about other apps? I use Hangouts fpr my texting and it doesn't​ have this option. Any ideas?
The same question for me. I have peeking with whatsapp also, even if whatsapp has this option and by default has always been disabled. I don't like peek notifications I would like to understand how to remove them by phone options, not by app.

I managed to find that option. It's available in Facebook, or Facebook Messenger or in Facebook Messenger "Lite" too, but it's not available in Whatsapp that is my main interest
Can you check whatsapp?

This adb command works for sure
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
I'm on AT&T and don't get these. Any way to activate them?

This was driving me nuts too, for Google Hangouts. Tried "Do No Disturb". Didn't work. Very frustrating when using the phone full screen in landscape mode.
