Last 2 are phone info, in case anything there is why I can't do this not basic of things. But clicking on notifications takes you right back to the phone's settings: apps:messages:notifications (pic 2). If you click on 'in-app notification settings,' it takes you to the app settings (pic 3). You can't click on 'allow sound and vibration' for more options. In order, the pics are of settings:apps:messages (pic 1) and then messages:notifications (pic 2). I'm also including my hardware/software info. Here's what my screen looks like when following the directions I've see most often (settings, apps, notifications). Zedge is the easiest way to find and download different notification sounds. How to Use Zedge to Set a Custom Notification Sound. There are two main ways of doing this using a free ringtone and sounds app such as Zedge, or manually. Generally, you can change notification sounds for a particular app in the settings in the app itself, or going through the phone's settings-I've seen the option located in sounds, notifications, and under apps (I'm pretty sure most phones that I've done this on had multiple directions you could come at it from), in the past. Either way, Android’s system settings let you use your own notification sounds. I have browsed SO MANY MESSAGES, WEB SITES, ETC trying to do this on my own.
Generally, I'm the techno-dweebie who fixes folks' phones.but I can't get this new phone to cooperate, and I'm ready to take a hammer to this thing.
