Anyone got any ideas on setting up custom notifications I have a few short Mp3 (3 seconds long) that which have been transferred to the Micro SD Card, but there not appearing within the Notification List.
So anyone got any ideas on how to set custom notifications
Most of the default notification sound on the Sensation is not good. To make the phone unique, just set own music files as notification sound, to make your device really YOURS.
These are the steps:
1.Connect the phone and computer via a compatible USB cable
2.Choose Disk drive as the connection type
3.On the computer, open the removable disk
4.Create “notification” folder on the phone SD card
5.Copy and paste your favorite mp3 files from compute to “notification” folder
6.Press home screen > Menu > Notifications, select the ongoing Connect to PC status and tap Charge only
When you want to assign a mp3 file as notification sound, press the phone Menu > Settings > Sound > Notification sound. Select your desired one.
Notice:
You cannot use SD card during the process.

Could someone make or tell me how to make a quick USB Storage option like either in the notifications bar or in the widgets on the notification bar
or possibly a way to set it to defaultly come on when plugged in
i move files on and off my phone all day and itdrives me crazy draging down click clicking clicking
When you plug into your USB you should get a USB notification in your drop down bar. Click that on to turn on/off. After you click on USB storage just go Start>computer and you should see it in your removable disks.
Dual mount sd widget on the market is great. Not only is it a small one by one widget and much faster, but when activated you can use the sdcard on your phone and pc at the same time.

These are General Tips and Tricks,.for advanced level Tips,Tricks, how to root etc go here:

INTRODUCING TIPS AND TRICKS!!
Access the scientific calculator
To access the scientific calculator, rotate
the phone to landscape mode.
The calculator will change to a scientific
one.
End a phone call by pressing the Power button
Rather than having to locate the hang up
icon on the screen after each call, you can
quickly end a call by pressing the Power
button. It will not turn off the screen
though.
To enable this, go to Settings - Accessibility
- Power button ends call.
Note: Depending on which firmware you
are running, you may need to update your
firmware to see this feature.
Tether your laptop or computer to your phone
You can tether your computer or laptop to
your phone so that the PC uses the
phone's 3G or 4G connection.
To do this, connect the phone to your PC
via USB cable. If a screen appears saying
Choose a connection type, then select USB
tethering and you should be able to start
surfing straight away. If it doesn't then
press the Home key to go into normal
mode. Then go to Menu - Settings -
Wireless and network - Tethering and
portable hotspots. Then tick USB tethering.
Your computer should then install the
relevant drivers. To test, simply open your
browser and start surfing.
Another alternative if the above doesn't
work is to use an App called PdaNet.
Before you install this App, you will need to
go to Menu - Settings - Applications -
Development. Then tick the option which
says USB Debugging. Then download both
the App and the software for your
computer. Once they are both installed run
PdaNet on your laptop and then on your
phone. Follow any other instructions to
complete the process.
Warning: Some carriers will tell you that
tethering is not allowed in their contract.
You should still be able to use the above
techniques, but be aware that your carrier
may not be happy. Also, if you are not on
an unlimited data plan, be sure you do not
use too much data through your laptop or
computer as you may incur extra charges.
Accents and special characters
If you want to type non-English letters (eg
those with an accent), long-press on the
relevant letter. A list of options will appear
for you to select
Add email or phone number from text
To add an email or phone number to your
contacts from a text message, you can
long-press on the email / phone number.
Then select Add to contacts.
Adding pauses when dialling
To add pauses when dialing numbers, or
storing numbers in your contacts, then
insert a comma ( , ) when entering the
number.
This will pause the dialling for about 2
seconds.
Allow swear words in voice recognition
To allow swear words in voice recognition,
go to Settings - Voice input & output -
Voice recognition settings. Then untick
Block offensive words.
By default, the phone will actually
recognise swear words, but will insert x's
instead of the word.
Change your default font(root required, read line on top)
To change your default font, you need to
download a third-party app because
Android does not have a built-in way of
changing fonts
There are two good Apps that allow you to
change fonts:
Font Changer - There is a free version and a
paid version. The paid version allows you to
change the screen density and allows you
to preview the font. You can also change a
few other options.
Custom ringtones, alarms, sms notifications
To use custom ringtones for your phone
ringtone, your alarm or your text message
notification, simply copy an MP3 file to one
of the following folders:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
If they don't already exist, then create a
new folder.
The file will then show up when you want
to change your ringtones.
For Ringtones go to Settings - Sound -
Phone ringtone
For Text Messages go to - Settings - Sound
- Notification ringtone
For Alarm, set the sound when you add a
new alarm
Increase Internal Memory

or-if u have adb in pc then,
code:

Help, I have forgotten my unlock pattern
If you have forgotten your custom unlock
pattern, then don't panic.
After 5 unsuccessful tries a button should
appear saying 'Forgot pattern'. Press this
and you will be asked to enter your Gmail
username/password.
The phone will then ask for a new unlock
pattern. If you don't have a Gmail account,
then you might have to either call your
carrier or factory reset your phone:
1.Take out the battery
2.Press the volume down button+power to boot in recovery mode
3.scroll using volume keys
4.Scroll to factory reset and press power button
5.Done

To use a custom ringtone for text messages, follow the steps below:
Important Note: Ringtones and Notifications are limited to audio files 300 KB or smaller. (Approximately 15 seconds in length).
Tip: You may look for applications via the web or through the Market for editing your compatible audio files to use as a ringtone.
1) Create a folder on the phone or SD card and name it "notifications" - small caps.
2) Use your phone as a USB storage device to do this from your PC.
3) Copy any compatible audio file you want to set as a message notification to that folder.
4) Insert or mount the SD card back to your phone or set your phone back to None to access your SD card.
5) Go to messaging and press the menu key.
6) Tap Messaging Settings.
7) Tap Text Messaging.
8) Tap Select ringtone. You should be able to locate your audio files there and set them.

Or you could install Zedge or other 3rd party apk and just download the notification u want and then just set it up via the apk.
How to Custom Ringtones and Notifications ? on Android 5.0 Lollipop
Simply create folder ringtones anywhere and put music files into it, OS will find those files. For notifications use folder notifications, for alarms alarms.
You may need to reboot your device.
How can I assign a ringtone to a specific contact? lots of versions prior to 5.0 were able to do so. Did Google remove it from 5.0?
Go to the specific contact, touch the pencil icon on the top right. Then tap the three dots on the top right and select "Set ringtone." Make sure you hit all the check buttons on the way out and you have the ringtone set. Seems like an extra step or to compared to KK.

Is there a specific file format or size limit for ringtones? I've tried copying mp3's to the ringtone folder of my wife's Nexus 5 and they don't show up under the ringtone menu.

MP3 and OGG are the file formats I have. I generally have better luck getting them to work if I transfer from my laptop via USB than if I save them directly to the phone by downloading or using an OTG adapter.
Thank you Miller!

Thank you Miller! Until you posted the answer I was unable to locate where to do this on my Moto X (2nd gen) also.
Hi -
How do I set a custom notification tone on an application (specifically, Google Messages)? I haven't found a way to do that yet, and I have pressed just about every button on the screen.
How do I permanently disable 5G connectivity? The battery draining impacts far outweigh the very minimal benefits of 5G, so I don't think we will ever want to use 5G.
Thanks!
For custom notification sounds you have to put them inside a certain folder, in the "My Files" app search for notifications and copy them into that folder. After that, you have to trawl though the app settings menu, usually I long press the app and select the "i" at the top right - using the Discord app as an example - from there go to Notifications > Notification Categories > Direct Messages (as an example) > Sound and select the one you want.
Uploaded 2 screenshots to show it in action.
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode, set to 4G

Thanks, @Sonic Steven!
That helped. I was able to set the Google Messages "Incoming Message" Notification Category to my custom sound. (BTW ... If there is another "Incoming Message" Notification Category for another application, will it also play my custom sound? Or, is this setting specific to each application?)
For disabling the 5G network, not as much luck. There wasn't any 4G or 5G settings visible in my AT&T Mobile Network settings. I may try removing my SIM card to see if something shows up.
I believe it is per app basis
If there's no option under the connection settings then I assume you would need to use something like the Samsung Band Selection app
Actually, I just found a better route than the Samsung Band Selection App:
This method exposes the hidden preferred Mobile Data Selector that's already in the phone.
Since we already were using Nova Launcher, this solution was a no-brainer (well, after someone else's brain had figured it out).
No additional software required for us.
