Help Text Message Alerts for Contacts

[Adaj]

Hi All,

I'm new to the board, but I recently purchased the Note 2 in February (Sprint). The update that was deployed in March added a text message alert for your contacts. I tried to upload a screenshot, but it didn't work. Anyway, when you're looking at the details of a specific contact, underneath 'Ringtone,' is 'Message Alert.' Here you can customize the text message sound for that specific contact.

I've tried customizing the alert tones, but when I receive a text message from someone who has a specific tone, the default text message tone sounds. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Am I doing something wrong?

TIA.

Download Handcent SMS Not only can you customize the alert tone, you can customize the notification icon as well.

I have seen where you can add a tone to your contacts on the stock message app but not tried it. I use Handcent Sms and if the stock message app had all the feature's of Handcent it would be a killer app! There are so many options and feature's to choose from, one of those being message tone assigning to different people.

^^ Along with the messaging notification Icon, looks like a email icon and is confusing, would be nice to change that at will also. I have since switched to Handcent also.
