Helped me. Couldn’t set a Text Message notification sound via settings> notifications on phone. This way worked on fist try. Thank you. P.S. I also use Zedge for some sounds. Others are downloaded elsewhere.
Mitch Bartlett says
Download Zedge from the appstore.

There are no ringtones on my Note 8

I didn’t see the link at first either, It may appear “grayed out” but it is there, just above the “Scan Business Card” button. There are alot of other tags you can edit from there. Was about to view these options from the “Phone” contacts or the “Google” contacts. I do not use facebook so I can’t say if it works the same way.
Mitch Bartlett says
Do you sync your contacts with an app like Facebook? That might be the reason you cannot edit it. That, or your wireless carrier locked it down. I have the option on my unlocked Note8.
Beth says
There is no “view more” under edit on the note 8 when I follow these directions. There is only delete, Link contacts, And block contact.
