Wife's phone is a Galaxy 8. All sound notifications work except for
the Message App. I've tried changing the notification sound with no
luck I'm using the same message app on my Galaxy 9+ with no adds and
no problems. I tried installing the same app again on her phone and
the whistle worked, but now the damn thing ( new app) is nothing but
one ad after another. Any ideas why it won't "whistle" at her?
Any suggestions for a good message app for android that is not full of
ads?

It's difficult to recommend basic text apps because there are so many.

Have you got a list of text apps that support RCS?

And they all do (fundamentally) the same thing. Each with added features.

I tested them all, long ago, & the open source QuickSMS & the open source >PulseSMS came out on top (where Maple Media later bought the FOSS PulseSMS)
*QKSMS& by Moez Bhatti (Open Source)(In-app purchases) free,adfree,gsf?,3.9star,17.8K reviews,1M+Downloads <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moez.QKSMS>
I have been using the last known good version of PulseSMS for so many years
I can't count how long - on a variety of Android phones - & it works great!

This is the specific open source version I have been using for years:

Mine was obtained from the Google Play Store repo long ago (since all my
APKs are saved automatically to Windows at the time of installation).

Note: Technically, APKs are not "saved" so much as "not deleted" after >installation, since the FOSS Google Play Store client has a switch for it.

I just spent about an hour & a half trying to install this version on
her Galaxy 8 with no luck.
