I have switched my notifications to a custom sound and it is working for my text messages, and a few other notifications but it is playing the previous notification sound when I get a new email.
I am using gmail and I have tried both mp3 and wav formats. The file is under /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
the file size is 91k.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
TIA
[EDIT]
I found it it was under gmail -> settings -> select ringtone must have overlooked it LOL

Is it possible to change the Ringer tone for the Sms Messages?
Thanks!
Yeah, get any .wav file you want and chuck in in your Windows directory. Now go to Start, Settings, Sounds and Notifications, Notifications (tab) and select "Messaging: New Text Message" in the top drop-down box. Make sure "Play Sound" is ticked and then select the sound in the drop-down box. Your .wav file should be there.
Thanks !!!
I tried this but it doesn't work
Hi there,
I do not get SMS sound notifications even though I have set the notification as mentioned in the o2 instructions manual. A soft and hard reset do not resolve the issue.
Any thoughts on this? Is there a windows registry hack that I can carry out in order to resolve this?
Cheers!
Henry.
just wondering if theres a application i can download that lets me set my mp3s as a ringer for emails and text messages i recieve? i already have mp3 trimmer on my phone but that only allows me to trim songs and set them as a ringtone for calls i recieve but i wanna set them for notifications also.
Copy *.mp3's into windows\ folder. Set normal.
PhoneAlarm does that too
MP3 -> notifications

Once you have used MP3 trimmer...go to settings and choose menu "All Settings". Then "Sounds and Notifications". Under notifications choose the action and then select the "tone" type. Your saved MP3 will appear in the pull-down list.
Worked for me!

I've gone into the settings and change my default notification sound from Cloud to anything else but it won't change. I can select any other sound but when I get a notification it still plays the Cloud sound.
I go check under setting and it is set to the other sound I chose but it still plays Cloud only.
Any thoughts or ideas
change in individual app's settings: email, text, etc. It held changes after doing so. Main sound settings should, but for some reason don't.

What apps in this behavior occurring in? All apps? One app? Be specific please.
It's happening when I get a text message or E-Mail notification. I set the Notification sound under sound settings and it always plays Cloud instead of whatever I do choose.
I found the setting in Messages to set it for the sound I want. My bad. Thanks for pointing me right way...
I'm having the same problem.
I have the main notifications sound in the setting main menu to clouds for example, I'm using K9 mail and I have the sound for incoming mail set to something else, but when new mail arrives I get the main sys sound of Clouds. I tried setting up the stock email client and had the same result. The Text message sound plays different, but not the email.
Anyone know?
I was able to set both in their own apps. Messages & G-Mail the sound settings were there. It is now working on mine. I just failed to find it at first.
Ok, I need a little help, as this problem has me stumped.
I wanted to set a custom notification sound, so I copied 2 new mp3 files to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications. Normally this should allow me to select those sounds as notification sounds from the sound settings, but this time it didn't work (I have done it successfully before). I then proceeded to open the files in ES File Explorer, selected Play and Set as Ringtone, Notification Tone. That worked and the sound was set as the default notification tone. BUT, here's the kicker, when I now go to settings - Sound - Notification Sound, on the screen where you can set the Default notification, Messages, Calendar, Mail and Notice, I am no longer able to select any tones for each of these categories. When I go into Default notification, where I used to get a list of notification sounds, there is no list anymore, and the Apply button is greyed out. Same with the other notification categories.
I've tried selecting a different notification sound through ES File Explorer, and that changed the Default again, but I still can't get a list to load in the settings screen. I've already tried clearing data and defaults for the ES File Explorer, Music and Android System under Apps in settings, but that didn't fix it either. I've rebooted just to make sure it wouldn't correct itself, no luck. I'm stuck. I would like to have the ability again to set these different categories of notification sounds. Can anyone help?
I ended up restoring a backup to fix this issue. Problem solved.
Hi,
I'm using Google Hangouts for sending SMS.
When I receive a text message, it uses the system default notification sound (which for me is Pollux), not the one I choose...
In Hangouts settings, under notifications, this is displayed :
Default ringtone (Pyxis)
This is my phone ringtone, not my default notification sound !
If I touch the setting to change it, the sound I choose is selected, which is Hangouts Message... But when I receive an SMS, it is Pollux that is played...
I cleared data and cache of Hangouts and this doesn't change a thing.
Anybody got a clue ?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Nevermind, I found the answer to my problem. Here it is :
For the first time with this phone, I'm using Cyanogenmod's profiles... and by default, it overrides SMS notifications. I just configured my profiles so my notifications were not overridden and everything works normally !
The displayed notification ringtone is still wrong, but that is cosmetic and I'm OK with it...
EDIT2 :
I need more coffee - the default is NOT to override SMS notifications... I will redo my profiles
