[Q] Whatsapp custom notification sounds - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know how many people use Whatsapp, but I've been trying to get custom notifications for my contacts. You can assign custom ringtones and custom notification sounds to your contacts on the contacts app, but in whatsapp, you can only select the ringtone. Has anybody been able to get whatsapp to use the notification sound instead of the ringtone?
Before anyone suggests it, I dont want to use a notification tone for the contacts ringtone. I use custom ringtones a lot to know when I need to quickly answer the phone or if I can let it ring and call back later.
Thanks!!

I believe not as the developer for whatsapp has not implemented this feature.

Set up personal sms tone

Hi Guys,
I have been using Ringdroid for a while now...this app is real good. I have added my personal ringtones to my contacts and notifications.
Everything is working except sms tone. Everytime i get a sms same system alert plays. Have i done something wrong? What setting do you have to change to put your own sms tone??
Thanks for help
Go to messages - menu - settings - change it there, the sms tone is different to the notification tone.
Thanks alot...It is not long time since i had my first android phone...so still trying to catch up!!

Notification sounds

So my mom and I both got ourselves an S3 and she keeps complaining about the notification sounds.
Basically there's the ringtone, and then there's notification sounds for EVERYTHING including SMS. What she wants is to have a tone for SMS and another for calls, and the rest of the notifications silent (mail, facebook etc.)
I couldn't find an option to separate sms tones from the rest, so I'm at a loss.
I hope you can help me, as google proved to be utterly useless in this case
edit: A fix that does not include going into each app and making it silent. She has no patience.. at all.

You could use Go SMS, and set up the sms notification on there. Then make the default notification for everything else to be silent in the system sound settings. Works for me.

I did consider that, but the lack of patience and hate for something that's different (She's a former apple user -.-) might get in the way. I'll ask her though. Thanks ^^
Even better, as Go SMS has an iphone theme which will make it look just like what she's used to!

To have a separate alert tone for each you need to set the tone from inside the app itself, I.e open up your sms message app press menu key press settings scroll to the bottom where it says notifications and simply alter it from there. Hope I've helped you.

[Q] custom ringtone messes up WhatsApp...

I have set custom ringtones to a few contacts which work fine. But when they send me a WhatsApp message, it gives their custom ringtone as a notification instead of the WhatsApp tone i have set. Has anyone else had this problem, or know how to solve it?
Thanks in advance
Scotty.

Where did my custom notifications sounds for email and texts go?

I always used custom sounds for my email. Now with the update they are apparently gone. How can I control the notification sound gmail and texts make when they come in now?
The panel I used to control them before, is now gone.
thanks!
