Using the stock Messaging app on the S6 allows you to set notification SOUND of your choice - globally ... but no longer has the ability to set a custom vibration pattern. Also, you USED to be able to set unique notification sounds per individual or contact group , but that's now missing too.
My question is, using a third-party messaging app, are these things possible? If so, which texting app (Chomp, etc.) is the way to go so that you can set up unique sounds/vibrations for individuals or groups?
I have a Galaxy S5 and would like to be able to stop the notification of receiving an e-mail without stopping the notification of text messages. Is there a way to differentiate? I was able to do this on older phones.
Since last tuesday, I am not receiving text message notification on my phone. It is not only after I made a phone call that the text message notification show up. I check all the settings and they seems to be okay.
I have to open the messaging app to see if anybody has texted me. I've missed 2 very important time sensitive text messages already that have burned me.
I also have a band 2 (hate how it manages messages), but this problem occurs even when bluetooth and band 2 is off/not connected.
Nothing shows up on glance/lock screen even if I have messaging chosen to show quick status.
Anyone else have the problem with not being notified of new text messages? Many times I will pick up my phone and not see any LED or text message icon in the notification bar but will have new unread texts.
All of a sudden or since last update, my ringtones for receiving a text message or a voice mail has stopped working.I think have check all the settings but need help badly need this feautert to work for my work....the overall voloume is all the way up, silent mode turned off, vibrate turned off, changed ringtones (thinking one may have gotten curoppted) Pulled battery and crashed instead of just turning off......
i have the S6 and was setting up Message+ as my default SMS/MMS app, when I attempted to change the notification tone. The dialogue box popped up and asked me if I wanted to use Zedge or Media Storage. Since I only have one tone in Zedge right now, I chose Media Storage. This is where it went wrong...instead of hitting "Just Once" as the option, I hit "Always". Now, every time I want to change the notification tone, I can only pick from the default Media Storage options. I want the bring back the option to be able to chose from either Zedge or Media Storage.
We use a paging system (text message) when we get called into work and it comes from a different number each time ex: 7777129401 the next page will be 77771291048. With my Galaxy S4 I was able to set a separate text notification for all of my groups of contacts while my default text messaging notification would be a loud siren (to wake me up in the middle of the night). This means anytime I got a "page" for work or if someone texted me and I didn't have their number in my phone the siren would go off. The only way I can figure out how to do this in the S6 is to individually go to each contact and set a custom notification and set my default to the siren. I have over 800 contacts, so this would take forever! I also used to use an app called Alirmer before I got the S4, because I did not have the capability with the Droid Bionic, but for some reason this app does not operate correctly on the S6.
I use my phone for business, I need to be able to tell when a text comes in for a customer, right now every notification that comes in, is the same sound. when I go to sound settings, it lets me change the sound, but it is still the SAME for texts and notifications I need to tell texts from everything else.
The mms message is lengthy and the entire text is not displayed.It shows "more" in the bottom rh corner of the text but can't figure out. how to get the rest of the text to show.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I would like to know if I can set the message received notification to repeat itself so if I am away from my phone and missed the original notification it will continue to notify me until I acknowledge it.
I always give my closest friends individual ringtones to separate them from all the other texts that I get. So I went to their contact info, added notification field and then changed their notification tone. But for some reason when they text me, they still come up as the default notification as like every other text does. Why can't I customize the text notifications by adding a different text notification to each of my contacts that I want a different notification tone for?
When working from my computer and so not to have to go to my phone, is there an app. (that will sync with my phone app.) or method to receive and send texts from my computer. Will it have a pop-up box on my computer?
Will it also show and save the texts on my phone?I am on verizon with an S5. I use the standard messaging app on my phone.
I no longer see a "card" for my text notifications on my lock screen after the lollipop upgrade on my Galaxy S5.
I get the status "notification bar" (see attached screenshot), but I want the "card" (like the "New voice mail" card in the screenshot) to appear on my lock screen - I don't want to have to tap the "notification bar" for the rest of my notifications. Hopefully I'm just missing a setting, and this is not the expected behavior....
Here's what I've tried (and what my settings are):
1) Lock Screen/Screen Lock is set to swipe. 2) Sounds and Notification/While Locked is set to "Show All Content". 3) Applications/Messages/Notifications/Preview Message is checked. 4) Applications/ApplicationManager/Messages -> Show notifications is checked. 5) I have cleared the cache for Messages Application. 6) I have done a cache partition wipe.
The bar on the top of the screen between the "select a profile" and the "search magnifying glass" where the notifications pop up not sure what that page is called but in this slide down screen under Text Messages I have a text message that is staying at unread. Even though I have deleted the text message and I've tried everything to try and get it to go away. Today I have a Blackberry Messenger Message that won't delete as well. Does anyone else have this problem and figure out a way to refresh and get ride of it? I've tried turning the device on and off a few times but doesn't fix the issue.
I've seen GroupXIT app mentioned on various threads but their domain seems to not be active anymore: " group xit com" and I can't find the app in google play store.
Other than specifically asking folks to leave me out of a group message, is there any other way to withdraw from a monster group text thread?
Some annoying family starting MONSTER NFL threads every damned Sunday and I know zero people in the thread and would like to take control of my inbox again.
Just upgraded to two Galaxy S6 on Sprint for some reason my wife device and mine when we get text message they got to are default message app as well as one of our Email accounts. Is there a way to get them to Stop going to to Email and just go to the default text app that comes with the S6. Never had this issue before don't know if there a setting or what.
I want to add a permanent signature to every text message I send out on my Samsung Galaxy S6. As it is very important that my name appears on every message because of my profession.
OK, I've set out to find out WHY some (not all) of my text messages are being sent out in segments. And don't tell me it's because they're too long. I have sent messages that are longer than the entire length of my S5. I have seen this happen on text messages I've received and wondered why people sent one message in 2 or 3 segments...now it's happening with mine. Can't be a phone or provider specific thing since mine have always sent out "whole" until today. Oh, and also today, sometimes the message is duplicated (recipient gets two of the same message).
I just switched to the Galaxy S5 from the iPhone 5, so I am still trying to learn the new format.
First: I know how to get text message previews to show up, however, is there a way to get the text message on the lock screen to show the name, but not the full message? Right now I can either get the name and the full message on the lock screen or just "new message".
Second: Is there a way to transfer all my iTunes music onto the S5 so I don't lose it?
