I changed my notification sounds in the sounds menu, but agenda notification sound still is the stock one.
And I can't change it in any menu...
When I go in the "Notifications" menu in agenda, the sound choice is grayed (as seen in the joined capture).

Is it possible to set the alerts or reminders in jam with any notification sound / ringtone or vibration? I tried to set the reminders but it only displays the upcoming appointments but never gives any alert or reminder.
How can I set any notification sound or ringtone with the reminder / alert?
Thanks.
I think this should be in the Sounds and Notifications settings.
If it's not there, I use alarmtoday to allow all of this to be customised.

You can also use PhoneAlarm from the same developer (www.pocketmax.net) for similar audible repeating alerts for phone functions (voice mail, missed call, sms, e-mail)

Yes you can. You should find it in the Sounds and Notifications settings.
Ringtones usually go in the 'windows\rings' directory and any other alarms etc go directly into the 'windows' directory.
Then go to START, SETTINGS, SOUNDS & NOTIFICATIONS, make sure the the first three tick boxes are enabled, then select the NOTIFICATIONS tab at the bottom. In the event box, select REMINDERS. Make sure the PLAY SOUND box is ticked. You can then select the alarm you wish from the list (under reminders).
This is driving me CRAZY...
I have a new Inspire phone for about 3 days now and I am coming from Windows Mobile (Tilt 2).
With the initial setup I was able to select a certain sound for email notification. This is NOT for GMail notification. It is for the email client in the ROM (stock).
Now I want to change that notification sound and I cannot find where to select a different sound. So I sheepishly put my pride aside and ask: where do I change the email notification sound?
Thanks!
Mail/menu/more/settings/notification settings.

That was the first place I went to. Not there though.
What I have at Mail/menu/more/settings/notification settings is:
Email notifications (checkbox)
Notification sound (checkbox)
Notification vibrate (checkbox)
Nothing where I can change the actual notification sound.

Hit the personalize button, then click notification sound, and you'll be able to change the email sound.

THANKS !!!
That did it. SPB Shell 3D did away with Personalize. Couldn't get to Personalize even from inside Settings. It just returned me to Home.
Thanks again.
I have read and searched, read and searched and read and searched. For some reason I can't change my notification ringtone for nothing. I can't even use a different stock one.
Someone please help!

Menu/ settings/ sound/ notifications?

Yeah, what this person said. There should be an option to change your notification sound there. You can also change, for example, your message sound by hitting the menu button when you are in the message app and then click on settings, notifications.
Something to help you that I posted in another forum.
Default Notification
Your DEFAULT notification can be found in settings > sound
or personalize soft button > notification sound > default notification
Message Notification
If you want to change the MESSAGE (sms/text) tone you would think that you could just change it from personalize soft button > notification sound > message, but unfortunately that does not work. Actually it will most likely do nothing. If you want to change your message notification then do it through the message app.
If you use HTC Messages as your messaging app: Open "Messages" then hit menu button then settings then notifications then notification sound and choose your message notification here.
If you use Handcent as your messaging app: Open "Handcent" then menu button then settings then notification settings. Here you can select a sent notification and a fail notification. But select notification settings one more time and here you can select your message notification sound.
I would think GoSMS is setup the same way. I don't have this app so I cannot give details.
Email Notifications
Your Default Mail app gets its notification sound changed by personalize soft key > notification sound > email. Make sure notification sound is turned on in the settings of the Mail app itself.
You Default Gmail app uses your default notification sound as far as I can tell and cannot be changed separately.
Alarm Notification
Alarms can be changed with personalize soft button > alarm or where you configure your alarm. A separate custom notification sound can be set here for individual alarms.
Calendar Notification
I don't use the calendar. As far as I can see, you can set up notification sounds through the personalize soft button or by going to the calendar app and changing the notification sound in its settings. Because I haven't tested this yet I cannot say if the personalize soft button way actually works. May be redundant just like the message notification sound and does nothing. So to be sure change it through the calendar app itself.
Ringtones
Ringtones can be set numerous ways. Through the personalize soft button or settings > sound > Phone Ringtone or By selecting the menu button from the home screen and selecting ringtones or by selecting your tone with the HTC Music app and selecting the menu button and then set as ringtone.
Contact Ringtones can be set when editing contacts.
Missed calls are visual notification only and Voicemail Notifications use your Default Notification sound.
Note: At what locations can your ringtones, notifications, and alarm sounds can be found?? If using an app to select most likely the tone can be anywhere. You will be allowed to navigate to your custom location. If using an HTC sense menu then you will have to have your custom tones saved in a special custom folder. On the root of the sdcard create these 3 folders if not already there. Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications. If you download the tones from HTC Hub first it will autocreate these folders for you so you don't have to create them yourself. You can now put your custom tones in each folder.

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.

Hello,
I was trying to change the email notification sound on my HTC Desire S email client, but I'm not able to do that.
If I go to notification settings, I can see three entries:
e-mail notifications (ON)
notification sound (ON)
notification vibration (OFF)
But I don't see how to change the notification sound there.
If I go to System Settings and then to Audio settings, if I tap on notification sound, I see I am already using the notification I want, but this setting is not detected by the email client from HTC.
What's the setting to be modified then?
Have you looked in the sound tab of personalise? (are you running stock firmware)?
Thanks a lot! There is what I was looking for!
