The question
I would like to change my SMS notification ringtone on my Galaxy S4. I’m changing the sound for “Notification”, it changes the sound for apps updates, emails but not for incoming text messages. How can I finally change it?
The answer
The thing is when you are using the default Samsung messages app you might have activated a personalized tone settings for text messages. A dedicated tone is specified there – that’s why when you change the global Notification tone it doesn’t affect your incoming text messages (SMS).
So, to change the notification tone for SMS on Galaxy S4 under Android 5, do the following:
- Go to “Settings” > “My Device tab” > “Sounds and notifications”:
- Tap on “Other sounds”:
- Scroll down to the “Samsung applications” section.
- Tap on “Messages”:
- Here either turn off the sound personalization for SMS messages or turn on the toggle and select the notification sound for them:
That’s it. Now the incoming SMS messages will sound as you like.
