Note 4 not rendering sound when in a text thread

I just bought the note 4 and when I'm texting someone their reply doesn't render a sound. I had the S3 and it rendered sound weather you was in the thread or not. Is there a fix for this?

Mine does it too, but I'm not sure how to fix it, I have missed many important texts because of rhis.

I know what you mean. If I'm going to put my phone down during a text conversation I have to remember to back out of the text app. Anyone know of a way to get a notification sound while the text thread is open?

Looks like Textra did it for me. Vibrates on subsequent texts with thread open. As a bonus it got rid of the ugly orange from the upgrade.

It's so irritating! Samsung or whoever needs to give us the option of enabling/disabling sound option in open text thread!!!! I'm so tired of missing texts because of this!!
