Hello All,

I have the HTC Hero from Sprint. I am running the stock rom from Sprint with the update that was released in Nov.

Scenario:

Person X is in my contact list
I want sound file Y to play when I get a phone call from X
I want sound file Z to play when I get a txt from X

(note: for clarification Y and Z are not the same file
(note: the sound file Z should be different depending on the person also. In other words can I set costume txt alerts per person)

Is this possible? When you look at the contact in 'people' there is a setting for 'ring tone' I am not sure if this is just for incoming calls or if this is also for incoming txts from this person.

 

Kennyidaho....I am aware of 'handcent' as a replacement to the default sms app 'messages'. My question to you is if I install handcent do I have to place and receieve sms message through handcent in order to use the costume alters per individual. I ask because I am a google voice user and thus use the google voice app for calling and txting.

Thanks for that link. It was very informative. I am curious to know, how do you show these 406 numbers. The article seems to say that currently the only way they are visible is through the sending of txt messages, but I have only seen a 406 number once. When I am using GV for my txting it shows the persons name not the number they are txting from. The only time I get a number is when the person is not in my contact list and then it shows their real number not their 406 GV number.

Additionally, once I have got all these GV numbers and they are in my contact list, can I go back to having it display their name while using handcent or do will handcent always display teh 406 number?
