Hello!
I just got my new G4 yesterday, upgrading from the Galaxy S4. On the Galaxy, I customized my contacts to have their own notification sound when I get a text (so for a certain number of contacts, I made their sound a morse-code kind of sound, while everyone else is the default sound). It may be obvious that I did this so I can tell who texted me without seeing my phone, etc.
This was done through the stock messaging app - so I kind of assumed perhaps this is a normal kind of thing that phones can do. However, after going through the settings in my G4's messaging app, I can't find any setting that does this same function. The only setting that is close is changing call ringtones - but that is not what I'm looking for (I'm looking for text messages).
Does anyone know how I can get my phone to do the same function? I'd definitely rather not have to convert to a different messaging app, as I like the stock one. Is there any sort of workaround that anyone knows of so I can avoid having to use a different messaging app?
TL;DR: I want unique notification sounds/ringtones for *text messages* (NOT calls) from different contacts - *without* having to use a different messaging app.
Thanks a ton in advance - I really hope I can get this same (and presumably basic) function onto my G4! Overall it's a great phone, but it would definitely be better if I can customize this little detail.
