Install a stand alone sms app like textra

 

It should be the same process as the S3. Samsung hasn't tweaked TouchWiz too much with the N4

 

check out the app called ringtone picker. This is what I use.

 

If you go into the stock sms app. Do settings, notifications, then choose what you want to hear for incoming texts.

Then, whatever you set as your phone notification sound under settings, sound, notification, will be your sound for voice-mail.

 

If you change your main notification sound (swipe down>settings cog>quick settings or device>sound>notification) that will be the sound used for all apps where a different sound isn't specified. The Messages app is set to use this sound by default.

In order to change your Messages notification sound you need to do it in the Messages app:

Apps>Messages>Menu(3 dots in top right corner of screen)>Settings>Notifications>Notification sound

A number of apps enable you to customise the notification sound in this way.

 

Trying to set my notifications on my Note 4. When I set the sound, it applies to all notifications. I want to be able to set different tones for things like my local newspaper breaking news,sms messages, etc

 

MSP. You should be able to go into the settings of each app that you are looking to have a unique sound for. This has to be done in the app itself and not broadly through the device settings.

 

I tried that and the apps that I want to change only really have the option of turning off notifications totally.I have light flow for color notifications and that allows me to choose which apps I receive color notifications for and to choose a different color for each app. That is more of what I am looking to do
