Hey ya's. I'm using an N5 with stock 5.01, rooted with twrp. During the night I used to use a tasker profile for when sleeping that did pretty much what priority Mode does by allowing my started contacts calls and messages to get through and alert me. With priority Mode now available, I use tasker to just trigger that instead.
But I'm having an issue with my messages. I use Handcent as my default messaging app and when I get an sms from a starred contact when in priority Mode it does not sound. I installed google messenger to check and when it's set to default messaging app I get the notification since no issues. Switch back to Handcent and no luck again.
I use Handcent because I like the pop up alert in it, but more so because I can schedule sms messages for a particular time, which is a feature I do use a bit. So if rather not change from it if I can help it.
Just wondering if anyone knows why the alert doesn't sound in Handcent during priority Mode, and if there's a work around?
Something to try:
Settings > Sound & notification > App Notifications > Handcent > Enable Priority
You bloody champion! Seems that was it. Didn't even notice that setting was there. Rippa!
This setting allows all notifications to come through, even from non-starred contacts.

I know there are a number of profile-type applications but as far as I know these apps set profiles that change the alerts/vibrate options only for the default Android system-wide phone or notification ringtones.
I'm looking for an application that can change the alert tones for all my individual email accounts in the gmail app, google voice, the default email app, and the phone ringtone as well. Does any such application exist? At work, I've been leaving my phone on vibrate but I often don't feel the alerts and I can't differentiate b/t the type of alerts as they are all the same. I'm hoping to have a "work" profile that uses generic pager-type sounds so that I can hear the alerts as well as be able to differentiate what type they are--ie. which email accounts are getting new email or text messages which I'm more apt to respond to quickly. This work profile is separate from my usual alert sounds, which are musical in nature and not necessary professional or fitting in this environment whereas pager tones are much more common place in my place. I don't mind manually switching profiles, the application just needs to be able to change all of them at once via some type of widget.
Thanks!
I don't believe you can get quite as specific as individual email accounts, but you can set the notification sounds to be different for each of the apps (i.e. email vs gmail vs voice vs SMS). For instance, in both Voice and GMail apps, when you go into Settings, there is an option to "Select Ringtone" in the section for Notifications settings. There should be something similar in whichever SMS app you use (even the stock messaging app, IIRC) and possibly the EMail app (I only use GMail so can't say for sure, but I would imagine so)...
you can actually change the alert tone for each individual gmail account via the settings menu when you enter each account's inbox. regardless, i already know how to do this. what i want to know is if there is a profile program that can change ALL of these settings in one fell swoop that way i can change from a work setting to a normal setting via some sort of widget.
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.

It's really annoying when I'm talking on the phone and... VVVVvvvvvt...VVVvvvvt...VVVvvvvvt... the phone starts vibrating because of an incoming text, email or some random alert. Not only is it startling to the side of my face but the person on the other end is like, "WTF was that?"
It there a way to disable vibration notification when the phone is active?
It would be nice, but I don't think there is. I usually tell people I am walking by cows...
You can try a alternative messaging app like handcent SMS. It has the feature to turn off vibration during calls.

I probably should've clairfied that I'm using GoSMS which I really like. I've used Handcent, Chomp, etc and have settled on GoSMS.
Besides, the vibration alerts come through for any incoming notification; Gmail, Ebay app, txt, etc.
Changing text apps to resolve the vibration issue would only be part of the solution.
This is a really annoying feature.
Thanks anyway.
EDIT~
I just discovered a way to disable text msg vibration during phone use. GoSMS has a setting under: Settings> Advanced> Notification Settings> Default notification settings> (waay down at the bottom) Notification on calls> toggle "vibrate on calls" on/off.
Now if only there was a global setting to disable this...
for incoming calls go to Settings / Call Settings / Turn Off Vibration during calls.
in CM 7 you have an global Option to disable Vibration during Calls.
Hi,
Is there any way to leave sms delivery report on and have its notification sound turned off (as well as vibrate) ?
Currently, as I can see, this notification settings are the same for delivery report and actual sms message so when I send a text I get a sms like delivery report which annoys me.
If you use a third party SMS application like Chomp SMS or GO SMS/PRO, there are separate options for notification ring and vibration. You should deactivate entirely the notification from the built-in messaging application though, or else you'll get double notifications.
Another advantage is that on these third party applications, SMS receive confirmation can be set to be muted, independently from the new SMS notification. So you can receive confirmations that do not make any sound whilst preserving your new SMS notification sound
I have the same problem, I've just learned to live with it though. There is literally no option in the menus to remove it though.
Hi,
I'm using Google Hangouts for sending SMS.
When I receive a text message, it uses the system default notification sound (which for me is Pollux), not the one I choose...
In Hangouts settings, under notifications, this is displayed :
Default ringtone (Pyxis)
This is my phone ringtone, not my default notification sound !
If I touch the setting to change it, the sound I choose is selected, which is Hangouts Message... But when I receive an SMS, it is Pollux that is played...
I cleared data and cache of Hangouts and this doesn't change a thing.
Anybody got a clue ?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Nevermind, I found the answer to my problem. Here it is :
For the first time with this phone, I'm using Cyanogenmod's profiles... and by default, it overrides SMS notifications. I just configured my profiles so my notifications were not overridden and everything works normally !
The displayed notification ringtone is still wrong, but that is cosmetic and I'm OK with it...
EDIT2 :
I need more coffee - the default is NOT to override SMS notifications... I will redo my profiles
