I am sorry if there is already a post with this question. I searched Google and XDA and didn't find any that were my question.
What I was wondering was if there was a way to have a different notification tone for email, voicemail, missed call and text messages. Right now, when I select my notification tone, it's the same tone for all.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I noticed today that if you set the main tone, then go to your sms inbox and click menu>settings>notification settings you can change the sms tone. Not sure about vm though, never tried.
Ha! You are awesome! That was totally it! I guess that the notification setting in Display and Sounds is the default for any message, but each application has a seperate setting that could be applied.
I did notice that when I set my notification tone in the messaging application, new messages set off both tones...the sms alert followed by default alert.
Thank you!

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.

Can you have different notifications for a new email and text message?
Do you mean different audio notifications? I use Ringo Lite so that I can have different audio tones for text messages from different people, as well as to let me know when I have e-mails vs text messages, etc. Works fairly well. Only major complaint that I haven't bothered to figure out yet is that if I get an e-mail or text during a phone call I still get the vibration and sound (which can scare the crap out of you! lol)
Hope this helps.

DUH! I see, I just noticed the one under HOME SETTINGS, I see that is for the default. Thanks.
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.
I am on infused 2.1.0 and have a question about sms notification
I cannot find anywhere an option to change the text message notifcation sound.
The one that the phone uses now is too short and very hard to hear even with the volume jacked.
I LOVE this phone and glad I got rid of my iphone but the sms notification is just so very poor in terms of sound quality compared to the iphone
thanks for the help
Messaging uses the default notification sound if I remember correctly. From your home screen tap the Menu button then tap Settings > Sound > Notification ringtone then select something that is louder. Trust me. The phone comes with plenty of ways to get your attention
thanks for the post. Notifications will allow me to change the sound for say an incoming email but there is nothing that will allow me to change the one for a text????
Not with the default Messaging app. It's coded to use the "global" notification ringtone. If you want to pick a specific notification sound for your SMS messages you'll need to use a different app for SMS messages (which will give you A LOT more features than the standard Messaging app anyway). I like Handcent SMS but other people seem to like Chomp SMS too. Give it a shot. The apps are free and easy to use.
ok are you using the infused ROM? when I go to notifications, the sound I choose is for email but the SMS is totally different !!!!!!!!
Nah, I'm using CM7 at the moment. If I'm wrong that's my bad but I coulda swore Messaging used the default notification ringtone. If Messaging actually uses its own settings for a notification ringtone it has to be somewhere in Messaging's settings menu.
Open up the stock messaging app. Press menu, settings, scroll all the way to the bottom, and the last option is select ringtone.

Is there a way I can assign a specific ring tone to people that txt me?
I have different ring tones set up for actual calls, but for text message they all have the same tone. Is there an app I have to get? or am I just screwed?
Thanks in advance.
Probably have to use a market sms app and set rings for contacts that way. Pretty sure gosms let's you customize individual contacts

GoSMS Pro and Handcent both allow you to do that, I'm guessing the other market SMS apps will too.
