My TP2 stopped making any notification of incoming text messages or e-mails. I thought that incoming e-mail/ sms was controlled by the sound control, and that when we turned single volume off, we were setting one volume for ringing and another for system.
Silly me, I thought that System was e-mail and SMS message. But it looks like it is only things like low battery. Am I correct?
Where the heck is the control for e-mail volume. Also, I am trying to make distinctive rings for some individual e-mails. I have been able to go into an individual contact, edit contact, and then go to ringtones. But will that give me an individual ringtone when they call, or can I also get an individual alert when they text or e-mail me.
Then net of my problem now is that e-mail reception is silent. Then when I get the sound back I want to know if it is possible to get individual alerts.
Thanks.
Settings>Sound>Advanced>
make sure Events and Program Notifications are checked.. and go into Notofications and go through the pull down menu and make sure new email and new txt and new mms have sounds selected and checked "play sound"
Thanks. I did not make it deep enough into Notifications.

The same notification sound is usually played for all incoming messages on Android by default.I want a different sound for different notification .
Can you change the notification sound for New Voicemail, New Text Message, New Mail etc.........and can you change the shut down sound
To change the text notification, go into the Messaging app, hit Menu-Settings, and then change the ringtone. The same can happen for the Mail, Gmail, and Voicemail apps. You just have to go into that app to change the sound for that app.
Without losing txt message sound notification? Email keeps waking me up at night and my only solution has been to turn down notification volume all the way down but then I also lose text sounds. Anyone?
I think you'll find it in your email "Account Settings" > "Notification Settings"... I think its set up like this so you can have different (or no) sounds for different email accounts.
Hope this helps
I want to use a different ringtone for sms/messages.
But the one I want to use doesn't come up in Settings.
What folder do I need to put that "ringtone" in?
It's currently in "ringtones", does it need to be in "notifications" Or somewhere else?
It should work if it's in notifications
thanks that doed it.

My mp3 will show up as selections. But when I receive a text, it plays one of the generic tone. Actually, doesn't matter what I select, it plays the same old tone.

SMS only notification
Is it possible to set up a separate notification for SMS.
Like most people, I want to know about SMS as soon as they arrive, its virtually a societal expectation at this stage! I can only seem to set event notifications, which is annoying, as these can go off in the middle of the night, eg emails, reminders of all day events etc.
if it IS possible to set a special SMS notifier, are there any sounds out there that mimic the urgency of the standard NOKIA tones, as opposed to the bland android ones?
mnt/sdcard/Notifications
is where the sound goes.
then as I said above for settings.
you could try Zedge for free sounds or search the interwebs for a sound you like.
Hi,
Is there any way to leave sms delivery report on and have its notification sound turned off (as well as vibrate) ?
Currently, as I can see, this notification settings are the same for delivery report and actual sms message so when I send a text I get a sms like delivery report which annoys me.
If you use a third party SMS application like Chomp SMS or GO SMS/PRO, there are separate options for notification ring and vibration. You should deactivate entirely the notification from the built-in messaging application though, or else you'll get double notifications.
Another advantage is that on these third party applications, SMS receive confirmation can be set to be muted, independently from the new SMS notification. So you can receive confirmations that do not make any sound whilst preserving your new SMS notification sound
I have the same problem, I've just learned to live with it though. There is literally no option in the menus to remove it though.
Hi All,
I am trying to find away to make a certain contact make a sound upon notification. Even when the phone is on silent or vibrate mode. I get emergency notifications from work and when I have my phone vibrate I would like this contact sound. This is a text message from an email address. I don't know if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
