Two ringtones with text messages

I recently reset my phone to factory settings (due to the phone not ringing for incoming calls and the Smart Profile issue).  I changed my Notifications ringtone to one that comes with the phone, but now whenever I get a text message, it plays the ringtone I selected AND the Droid ringtone.  Is there a setting that I missed because it didn't do that before I reset the phone?

I think i have a solution. 
By default the text message ringtone is set to be the same as your notification ringtone you chose on the main settings.
Go into your text messages program and press menu for the settings.  here you can change the text ringtone to be different than the notification ringtone you chose on the main settings.
So..if those 2 are different you may hear both.  One for the text message and one as a general notification.  I am waiting for someone to text me to see if i'm right.
Check to see if you have them set to be different tones.

  • MMS (setting a ringtone for text messages)

    Is there an option or way that allows you to set a ringtone for text messages. I previously had a Samsung Instict with another carrier and you could do that as well set ringtones for your contacts. Perhaps this will be in a new software update?? Thanks

  • Does anyone know when Apple will make the iphone able to put ringtones for text messages..

    after sitting in a group of friends at a cook out i heard peoples phones ring with like the transformer ringtone, a song ringtone and a funny ringtone. but to my surprise it was from a text message, i felt so left out cause all i had were those pre programmed tones. i was hoping that that would be something that apple would update and let us have but i yet to find any app or update that did it. so i lost the battle with friends that they should get a iphone cause its amazing. and now they got one up on me saying the evo, blackberry, and droid are better then the iphone. i hope i'm not the only one that feels that we should have special ringtones for text messages too.. i hope someone at apple reads this.

    You and your friends base the merits of iPhone, evo, Blackberry and droid on the ringtones. wow!
    edit: IOS 5 in the fall,  will have configurable ringtones for messages. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY

  • I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

    I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

    You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

  • Apple wireless BT keyboard with TEXT MESSAGING?

    I know that I can sync the Apple wireless bluetooth keyboard with the my iPhone 4, but I just want to verify that it will work with text messaging, in addition to the usual email, etc. apps. Frankly, that's the main reason I need it. I messed up my elbow from texting so much. I don't want to, but I MUST text a lot, so I figured I'd get the keyboard to save elbow injuries. Sounds silly -- lugging around a wireless keyboard in order to text... but it actually wouldn't be so bad. I do a lot of texting from my house, anyway.
    One more thing -- The wireless keyboard can only be paired with one device at a time, right?

    The Bluetooth keyboard will work with the messaging application.
    I know I always turn the Bluetooth off on the iPhone so when I pull out my keyboard it is a bit of a pain in the ***. Granted I only use it with long emails on the road that would take an hour to write with the keyboard on the iPhone, so it's not too bad. The iPad dock keyboard will also work with the iPhone and iOS4.x so if you need a keyboard and don't want to deal with the Bluetooth than that is an option too, just a thought.
    As far as the Bluetooth keyboard goes it can only be paired with one device at a time.

  • No phone icon to answer incoming calls with text message

    I have a brand new iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4.
    When I have an incoming call, I do not get the small telephone icon on the bottom right of the screen, so I have no access to options such as answer with text message. What can be done to activate this?

    You search your iPhone for the Phone app and put it back there.
    Or tap in Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen layout button

  • Phone is really slow with text messages

    hi, im new here and lookin for a little help. iv had the phone for a few months and now my curve freezes when i try to open a text message. also when i press send it freezes up. i dont have to restart it or anything but it takes about 7 seconds to regain itself. this only happens with text messages. emails work fine, facebook notifications work fine. i send and receive quite a bit of texts, emails, and facebook notifications and i have 14 applications. i did the update/ recovery& reboot thing on my computer. i have wifi preferred as my connection preference and tmobile is my mobile network. any tips? or do i have to just live with this?
    EDIT: i searched around on the forum a little bit and resolved the issue. i didnt know that it was only happening when i texted one person because i mostly only text this one person. but i guess i had to go to my phone book and text this person thru that instead of just replying. after that i can open and reply with no problem. sorry for takin up space on the forum. im new lol

    Sometimes I think I don't get told about a message until I unlock my phone and when I do I get a notification and a text tone as I unlock and it can be off a conversation I was having 10/15 minutes ago.

    For Instagram you can try and uninstall and reinstall the app and see if that fixes it. But if not you can try and resetting all settings, Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

  • "ringtone" for text messages

    Is it possible to set a different "ringtone" for text messages? I enjoy being able to set ringtones for calls so I know who is trying to reach me. It would be great if this can be done for text messages too.

  • Caller ID - does it work with text messages?

    hi there , I set up callerID.
    tried to call a number in malaysia, the callerID doesn't show up. perhaps it varies from country to country
    however, what I really want to know is, does caller ID work with text messages? I send SMS Thru skype, and the receiver will see the caller ID ?

    I unfortunately have not found anything out.  I also have since purchased a 2011 Nissan Murano and still have the Rogue.  From time to time in the Rogue the caller ID works, but it paired ok after several tries with my Murano and the caller ID seems to work, but I dont drive that vehicle daily its my husbands.  I wish Apple would do something to fix this bluetooth issue everyone else I know with a Nissan and bluetooth does not have this issue its totally something to with Apple.  My Murano does not have Nav its only an SL.  Good luck!
