Hello all,
I'm trying to change the sound notifications for SMS sent and delete confirm, on my O2 Orbit 2.
The options to change these sounds doesn't appear in settings > sounds and notifications.
I think these sounds are associated with the files Alarm1 and Alarm2 in the windows directory, but I can't edit / delete these at all? -Am I right in thinking I need an 'Application Unlock' to do this, if so, where from?
-or have I got completely confused!!?
Thanks for any help offered
Does no one have any ideas? I can't believe that!
...or am I being stupid and missed the option for this
Anyone?
Hi,
I have a little annoying problem. One of the contacts in the favourite list has the default action set to "Send Message" (I'm talking about the little icon just below the photo and name).
The problem is that all (but one) of my favourites have the default action set to Call Contact (the little earpiece icon) except this one.
I want to have every action set to "Call Contact" but I can't find any option where to change it.
It's the only phone number I have for this contact and it is filed under Mobile.
Can anyone help me with this?
scroll down to the contact, then press right or left
I think he is talking about the favourite contacts and not the contacts app. only way i know to do that is to delete the contact and then add them again and you will be able to choose between send message and call
Is it just me or is the volume sound too low for it and no way to change the tone?
Cant find anything specific for it.
Agreed. I can't find any of the standard options - ringtone/vibrate/ringone+vibrate.
Did you find how to fix this?
I keep missing every reminder. It is VERY low, and NOT a tone that I have set for anything.
Start from home screen
Settings
Sound and display
Look in this section and there are places to choose notification tones and also volumes.

That was the first thing I tried, but thanks anyway. I installed Calendar Snooze, which seems to have solved the problem.
As the first couple posts imply, no settings exist for calendar tone or volume in settings.

Any updates on this?
I totally rely on the notification sound in the calendar but it is hopeless.
Any way to replace with a better sound?
(I have changed txt notifications but not calendar)
Cheers
I also wish there was an option so select the settings just for calendar reminders as my old WinMo phone had. Specifically the option to play tone / vibrate even when phone is silent. New to an android device but this thing still knocks winmo out of the water.
Just put it in Vibrate mode.
Is it the setting in?

Ok found it. Sorta.
/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db
In the reminders table is an event tied by event_id to the event in the events table. If you edit the ringtone field corresponding to an event in the reminders table using the full path to the sound file you can change the ringtone for each event.
Two items.had to copy the db, edit the copy and overwrite the old one. I also used an ogg file.

Here is how I manually did it. This is probably best left to people very comfortable with linux/unix. ( I needed to be rooted, have root explorer installed, and SqlLiteEditor )
copy /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar_original_backup.db
copy /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db to /sdcard/calendar.db
open /sdcard/calendar.db
Open Events, scroll around and find the reminder you want., then look all the way to the left column for that line, you will find the event_id field, note the data in that field. Hit back
Open Reminders, find the event_ID from the previous step, tap the line and choose edit. Edit the data in the Ringtone field with the full path to the sound you want to use, i.e. "/sdcard/mysounds/calendar.ogg" (dont type the quotes)
Hit back until you are out of the SQLLiteEditor
copy /sdcard/calendar.db to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db
I am sure someone will build an app for this eventually.
I downloaded Calendar Snooze from the market. It works great for notifications. You can set your ringtone and you can snooze for a set amount of time

Oh, and rahlquist, thanks for the full explanation
A couple questions on Calendar Snooze:
1. Do you have to enable Alarm for each event in order for Calendar Snooze to give a notification?
2. Does Calendar Snooze give notification XX minutes before the event starts?

Yes you need to enable the alarm when you input the calender event the first time. Though there may be something in settings to pre do it. I'll check.
You can set the notification time to anything you like. 1 min, 5min, 30, 2 hours, 2 days... whatever. And when you snooze it you can set how long the snooze is for, and change it on the fly.
Can also change the reminder sound to anything you want.
@scott2ride Thanks for answering my questions. I usually add events through Google Calendar on computer, so haven't figured out how to enable reminders on phone without manually changing each one individually, which is kind of annoying. I was hoping that Calendar Snooze had a default reminder for all events.
If you go to caledar, settings, reminder settings, select ringtone, you can at least change the tone. There are apparently issues with which calendar you have selected at the time and so forth, this doesn't seem to work smoothly yet. But it is a start. See this for more

Ive been trying to figure out how to set custom ringtones for txts for individual contacts but havent gotten anything. Can anyone help?
Use handcent sms from the Market. Turn off notifications in your stock messaging app once you've installed it to avoid double notifications. In the thread for the person whose notification tone you want to change, tap the button in the top right (the person with a gear) and choose notification settings, then notification sound.
There's no way to do it through the AOSP contacts or sms app.
thank you but thats for android. I forgot to mention I use the touch pro 2. I appreciate the help tho.
I am periodically getting a notification to select my keyboard. I have Swiftkey installed and selected and yet I keep on being forced to re-select it to dismiss the notification. Anyone know how to stop this?

Stop hearing Android system Select Keyboard Notification
Hi, I was a victim of this thing too and have a creative solution - replace the notification sound by a silent one you create:
- Use your smartphone voice recorder to create a one second silent notification - just press the record button and then immediately again.
- An ma4 sound file is created
- Rename the file to whatever name you want
- Share it - email it to yourself
- Go to your email inbox open the email with the fole and save the file - it will be saved in the "downloads" folder
- Go to Seiings -> Sound and Vibration -> Notification sound -> Deafault Notification Sound -> and change the sound to the one you created
Now it can notify as much as it wants - you will not hear it - like a mute person shouting- Hahahahah...
