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.

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.

Is there anyway I can set a certain NOTIFICATION sound for this? I use the default exchange sync for my emails. I don't see a button anywhere that will allow me to set a certain SOUND for this.
Thanks!
Any help would be appreciated...

+1 - I would appreciate any help on this as well.
Please if someone can help with this....
The only way to have this sound is the default notification sound in sound and display <assuming you're running 2.1.
Any other account such as text, gtalk, gmail can be changed in the settings of said application by clicking on the menu and going to settings.
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.
Messages/Settings/Notifications/Received Messages/Notification Sound
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.
I'm running KelLMSKing MIUI and wondering if there's a way to set a custom notification sound for a contact? Or if anyone can recommend an app that allows it? I had the option when I had a CM7, but now I can't remember if it was CM7 specific or Go Contacts that I was using that enabled it.
And even cooler would be if there is a way to set a default notification sound for contacts not in the address book.
Any ideas?
Isn't that a stock feature of the contacts app?
Start the app, contacts tab, choose a contact by clicking hte name, press menu button, "options", choose ringtone.
Oops, sorry I should have been more clear. I mean a text message notification, not ringtone.
There are different SMS apps in the market.
Handcent SMS can do what you wish. An alternative is GoSms Pro.
Ahh, it was a feature of Go SMS that I used to have. I just installed Handcent (since I've already tried Go) and found the option to change the notification sound for a contact.
I was hoping there would be a way to set a notification sound for contacts not in my address book, but there doesn't seem to be. In other words, have a default sound for everyone, I can customize it for some, and a different sound for someone I don't know. Mostly so that I can set it so that texts from Facebook will sound different, and can be ignored.
As a workaround, I will try adding all of facebook's numbers as they come in to a contact.
Thanks for pointing me to Handcent!
EDIT: It's a terrible workaround. Even though I can add all the 326-123-45 numbers from facebook into one contact, Handcent assigns the custom sms notification to the number, not the contact. So then I'll have to go through and edit the notification for each one anyway.
So now I'm still looking for a way to assign a custom notification sound to unknown contacts.
I have searched on the site and don't find this issue. Despite everything I have tried, I cannot change the from the soft, default Google Messages notification sound. I have even tried changing individual sounds on a person by person basis and that doesn't work. I have gone into sounds and notifications in settings, also tried by going into the Messages app. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Easy way just get Zedge and add new sound through that

I can change the system default with no problem but the default per contact is a fail, so I feel you. Same with other alerts, like my Google Cameras. Wil lNOT set a different alert sound than the system default

I can't even get the default to change. I have tried everything I can think of. Sounds and notifications, in the app itself, just can't figure it out and this is my 4th Pixel.
There are two locations for "setting" notification sounds for Google Messages as well as "default notification sound" UNDER "Sound and Vibration"!
Now if both of these are set to the same thing then everything will work OK. However, if the default location is set to one sound and the app setting is something else...then it's a toss up as to which will take precedence.
So here is my suggestion for two possible solutions.
Under settings>Sound and vibration>Default notification sound>My Sounds and select NONE. Now you can go to the messages app itself and tap on your avatar in the top right>Messages settings>Notifications>Other notifications>Sound and choose whatever sound you want. This will give you the sound you want for any messages you receive in the messages app. However, this will leave any other type of notifications such as a calendar reminder with NO sound (unless you assign one specifically to the calendar in the same relative manner as you just did with messages. I chose the calendar as an example because once you dig in and find the notification sound set for your calendar it is probably set to "Default notification sound" which you just set to NONE.
The second possible solution is to change the default notification sound to what you want and the messages app to the same sound. This will ALSO make all the other notification type sounds the same as in the previous calendar example.
Now you can always set the calendar to some thing different and it MIGHT work as you set it despite the default being set to something specific and it might not.
So of the two methods I have suggested the one that should work the best is to set the default notification sound to NONE and then go into each individual app that may give off a notification sound and give each one what you want. I hope this helps!
I am able to change my default sound to a different per app basis by going to profile picture and then clicking on message settings and select notifications then selecting behavior sound and more and from there select incoming messages then choose your sound for your messages. This is how google messages does it

Thank you for the detailed write up. I tried both solutions but still nothing. I even took this one step further and tried to sync the two with the ring sound so all three would be identical. However I can't do that because none of the tones in the ring match notifications or message sounds. I don't know what the glitch in my matrix is, but this is frustrating as heck. This isn't my first rodeo, and I refuse to believe I have some special P7P that prevents message notification modifications.

Can you share a screenshot of the "Behavior Sound" screen? I don't see that as an option on my P7P. Thank you for the response.
Here you go
Oh I forgot 1
I'm sorry I put it kinda step by step I just put it the way I would like to see it
Please let me know if I can be a further help to you
I also do not have a setting called "behavior sound"?
I wonder if it appears due to a particular setting or because of the model number of your P7P?
Here is a YouTube video telling you how

It is so weird, after playing with settings for days, yesterday I started hearing my phone doing the notification for when out Ring cameras detect movement. Since I don't always check the video right away, it took until this morning to understand now my message notifications have started using same ring tone. What is weird is I set that tone during the time of this conversation. Huh...
