I was wondering if anyone had this problem and knew how to fix it. On the Gingerbread MIUI (i.e., RG2x), I am unable to change the Notification and Conversation tone settings to silent. When I try to change it, it brings up a box asking me to choose either Music or Themes. Music doesn't allow me to choose silent. Choosing Themes just brings me to a blank screen under local resource. Any ideas?
Well just put the phone on silent mode.. But if you want individual control you should look under sound settings

I am on infused 2.1.0 and have a question about sms notification
I cannot find anywhere an option to change the text message notifcation sound.
The one that the phone uses now is too short and very hard to hear even with the volume jacked.
I LOVE this phone and glad I got rid of my iphone but the sms notification is just so very poor in terms of sound quality compared to the iphone
thanks for the help
Messaging uses the default notification sound if I remember correctly. From your home screen tap the Menu button then tap Settings > Sound > Notification ringtone then select something that is louder. Trust me. The phone comes with plenty of ways to get your attention
thanks for the post. Notifications will allow me to change the sound for say an incoming email but there is nothing that will allow me to change the one for a text????
Not with the default Messaging app. It's coded to use the "global" notification ringtone. If you want to pick a specific notification sound for your SMS messages you'll need to use a different app for SMS messages (which will give you A LOT more features than the standard Messaging app anyway). I like Handcent SMS but other people seem to like Chomp SMS too. Give it a shot. The apps are free and easy to use.
ok are you using the infused ROM? when I go to notifications, the sound I choose is for email but the SMS is totally different !!!!!!!!
Nah, I'm using CM7 at the moment. If I'm wrong that's my bad but I coulda swore Messaging used the default notification ringtone. If Messaging actually uses its own settings for a notification ringtone it has to be somewhere in Messaging's settings menu.
Open up the stock messaging app. Press menu, settings, scroll all the way to the bottom, and the last option is select ringtone.

I have no problem adding custom ringtones, but cannot for some reason see how to use custom notification sounds? What am I doing wrong?

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.
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:

There is a setting in Cm10 that links ringtone and notifications

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

I've had this problem before on Jellybean ROMs. After installing a new ROM I select a text tone and it plays when I get a text, but then after a random amount of time it starts to play the default notification sound when I get a text instead of my still selected text tone. When I go to see which tone is selected, without clicking in to choose my tone it says "Default ringtone (my_ringtone)". (my_ringtone=My current ringtone that is used when people call me, which plays normally.) Then when I click in, it shows my actual selected message tone selected. I'm running v1.300 Beanstalk. Has anyone had a problem like this before?
Apparently I can't post links until I have 10 posts. Pics of what I described are in the form of 2 png's attached to this post. (Very appropriately named if I say so myself)
Set it within the actual messaging app and through the email client you use. Should stick then.

Thanks, but these are the actual settings within the stock messaging app. In the regular sound settings there is no option for text tone. Only one for notification sound.
