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

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.

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.
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...
Currently, when I get a text message, I get a sound notification and the phone vibrates. All i want it to do is make a sound and not vibrate. I went into all the settings and I cant find it anywhere. Does anyone have any feedback?

Assuming you are using Google Messenger.
Open the App. In the main screen (list of current conversations) tap the three dots on the top right. Tap settings, and the vibrate option is right there.

Thanks. It worked. For some reason, in my head, i was thinking that would be under sounds.

Well, it's a logical place to look! lol.
Also keep in mind that when you're in a conversation with someone in messenger. Tapping the 3 dots in that window will let you customize that specific person. Color/Sound/Vibrate are all able to be customized per contact.
