I love my S3, but i have one problem and its a big one! I need to assign a specific, longer, louder notification to a contact. Here's the issue, because it wasn't i big deal on my old iphone (4s):
I am a first responder, and am on two emergency response teams. I receive a text message, that generated from a group email from our emergency dispatch. I am trying to set a specific, longer louder ringtone to this specific sender/contact, so that I am woken up by this specific tone when an emergency page comes in.
The problem is that when I tried to do this, the tone comes out as whatever is set to the default, not the specific tone. That is not going to work. The tones are too short, and not loud enough to wake me up. Volume is set to max for notifications, and I need it to be different so that I can get up and respond to the page. I can sleep through the default tone, but this specific tone was created from a song using a ring tone maker. It is in the right spot and available to be set as a notification.
This was tested on my system, and the page always defaults to the default tone. Both Samsung and ATT have tried to assist me with this to no avail. I know it works on an iphone, but I DONT WANT TO SWITCH BACK, because I love the s3!
Anybody have any ideas? Ill try just about anything.
Thanks for your ideas,
