I am using ARHD 3.1.1 and I was wondering if its possible to have a different ringtone for the message notification and the actual phone call ringtone?
Both files are on my phone, and I want to chose one for each app.
I can set main phone ringtones and contact ringtones, but for message notifications I cannot.

Hi,
I'm using GoSMSPRO,and it has the option to set the notification separately.
Worth a try.
It's free.

Open the Messages app, press the menu key & in settings/notifications you can set the sound used there.
Actually I seemed to have fixed it by putting the audio file in the notification folder on my SD card. It shows on as one of the audio files now. Because before it wasn't showing up.

Yesterday my phone updated to 1.47.401.4. Now I'm unable to change the SMS notification sound :-(. I can select other sounds, but I has no effect. Changing the volume in settings plays the right sound, but where the SMS arrives the sound is still some default sound I have not choosen.

Have you tried rebooting the device and re-trying?
Next suggestion is to take a full backup (assuming that you're rooted and s-off) and then perform a full reset and test again
Then restore to backup.
I have tried rebooting. Didn't work.
I'm not rooted. It's a company phone, so I'm not going to root it. :-(
same problem her stuck on one tone can choose other tone but keeps the same tone

I think your trying to reset the tone globally and the SMS or Email is set to local. Open SMS for instance so that you have the list of messages from everybody not just one contact, press menu-settings and change it from there.

Thats the solution thanks
I have no problem adding custom ringtones, but cannot for some reason see how to use custom notification sounds? What am I doing wrong?
Sent from my HTC One X
I believe all you have to do is add a folder called notifications and put your sounds there. That should solve it.

I am having an issue getting the stock email app to recognize a different notification sound. No matter which one I select it always uses the same one and I can't hear it at all. I can't change it from within the email app either. Anyone else notice this?
does not support .ogg files

This has been driving me Bonkers! I have tried to move over notification sounds from my Galaxy Nexus and the problem I have run into is that this phone will not play .ogg files (open source sound files from what I understand). Like you said, it just plays the stock sound. The notification sounds and ringtones on this phone are all .mp4. So.... we will have to convert the .ogg files to .mp4 files.
Personalize app > Sounds Tab > Notification Sound > Email (default sound is 'Hint')
Unable to access custom ring tones in notification folder using the following:
Personalize app > Sounds Tab > Notification Sound > Email
Never mind, got it. RESTARTED phone and new ring tones (notification sounds) showed up in the list.
My phone is acting strange, or it's that damn "HTC Sense" screwing with stuff again. Stock Europe ICS 3.33 with custom rom.
When people call me, sometime it uses the ringtone I choose. Sometimes it uses some another ringtone. I can't figure out what is going on. Is it supposed to do this? It's really freaking annoying because now when I hear a phone ring I have to check if it is my phone because I don't know what ringtone it will use next. I missed two phone calls because I didn't know it was my phone ringing.
It is possible to set a global ringtone, and also specific for certain contacts.
When a contact is opened, in the 'options' sexton, there's a Ringtone combo box, where a custom tone can be set.
See the last person who called you with 5he nondefault tone, perhaps it has a custom one set.

I didn't know how to change the ringtone for contacts, let alone want to. So if a contact's ringtone was changed, it wasn't me who did it. But I checked, and they are all set to default. But sometimes, not always, the system uses a different ringtone for whatever reason.

Your ringtones aren't on your sd card are they? If so it could be a sign of a failing sd card.

No, I only use stock ringtone "Oldphone." I like the fact the it actually sounds like a phone.

Thanks, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one it happened to.
Hello, I just picked an HTC One X on at&t and I can't figure out how to disable a ringtone. I still want to be able to hear notification sounds for sms. etc, but prefer not to have a ringtone sound. I realize I can use vibrate and silence mode, but that doesn't really solve the problem completely.
In CM7 on my old phone there was an option to set the ringtone to none in the list, but I don't see such option on the HOX.
Would I have to resort to importing in a blank.ogg ringtone and setting it to that or is there a better way to do it?
I searched through the forum here and saw someone mention an app that allows you to control ringtone volume separate from notification volume, but someone said it didn't work. I'll try to find the app and try that in the mean time.
My phone came with 2.20 firmware unfortunately. If it didn't, I would have rooted, unlocked, and flashed CM10 by now.
Any insight/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Create a silent MP3 file, put in the ringtones folder, select it as your ringtone. Job done.

Is there a ringtone named silent on your phone? I've been through so many ROMS I can't say for sure if its in stock but it is in every ROM I can remember. It's usually the first ringtone.

I have tried to search for this but haven't really found any solution. On my previous android phones when I go into work or somewhere that I want my phone on vibrate I would just simply hold the Vol Down key until it goes to Vibrate and everything would be silenced (ringtones, notification tones, etc.) but when I got phone calls, text, etc it would vibrate.
For some reason on this phone when I do this it doesn't control the individual "Notification" volume, so I have go in and manually control that myself. I guess for some people this might be useful to manually control them individually but to just quickly silence the normal things like ringtones & notifications. For me personally it's quite annoying to have to deal with them on an individual basis.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out on this!
I'm also curious about this. I do the same thing. I put my phone on vibrate when I get to work which silences the ringer but if I do something else (I often play ads in Viggle for bonus points) that volume is untouched and must be silenced on its own...
I'm using CM10 currently. Not sure if this differs between roms.

Is there a settings / sound / volumes / link ringtone and notifications check box?
I haven't had either issue. If mine is on vibrate that's all it does, if silenced it's all silenced. Hmm.
Have you guys tried using a widget or the notification toggle?

Thanks Romman0! That option is not available, but just your keyword of "link" enabled me to find an app that does exactly what I needed! :good:

Would anyone be interested in a widget for this? I could get right onto developing it if there's a demand for it.
