    Yep, that's by design.

    If the screen is on and is currently open in the same thread on which the text arrives then it won't play the notification sound you set for sms - it plays a different one that's much shorter. If you want to avoid this it's best to always turn the screen off when you're done with writing a text etc.

    The proper sms alert only plays if:

    - the screen is off / phone is locked
    - phone is unlocked and you are in a different app
    - phone is unlocked and you are in the Messaging app but looking at a different thread (i.e. you're reading / writing a text to "Wife" and a text arrives from "Daughter").

    No you can't (as far as I know).

    Other smarphones do the same thing too. iPhone does it, not sure about Android.
