Okay I have searched and found some good info on getting custom tones for notifications and such. However I would like to know if theres a way to have my email notification tone seperate from all the rest of the notifications. I know using ringo pro I can have my text msg notification tone seperate. But I do not like it when I hook my phone to my computer it gives me the same tone as my email one. I currently have it set to the "you've got mail" and its annoying to hear it with updates, hooking to computer, and such. If this has already been answered please supply me with a link and I apologize for not looking harder.
Open your gmail app. Press menu and select settings. Should be in there. Same with txt messages
Wow do I feel like a moron. I even knew that option was there too. Just completely overlooked it for no reason at all. Well thanks for pointing out stupidity at its best. Seriously though thanks ubernicholi
no problem, i didnt know that was there for a while either
Hey thanks for something so simple, I didn't even know that haha

I know there is a standard feature in the wizard where when a new voicemail comes in, it does a popup notification saying you have 1 new voicemails, etc.
I also know that when you click "dismiss" the popup notification is hidden, but no new popup notifications can come in until you actually listen to the voicemail.
Since I don't like to listen to my voicemail, is there a way to change the behavior so that it "clears" the popup notification and I can get to my other popup notifications?
I too HATE this problem. I have not yet searched the forums for a resolution, but I will see what I can find.
BTW: I had forgot about that problem (must have just been ignoring it) until you brought it up again! :x
Later; Lew
As far as I have been able to determine, there is no way to make it go away. However, new notifications do come in (but do not pop-up automatically). You can access the new notifications by clicking the notification balloon on the top of the screen. I use this quite often to get to the missed call notification without checking my voicemail first.
i too am having this problem and was wondering if there was a fix for it, it is quite disturbingly annoying.
Sometimes i get a slew of notifications and since i cant see them all since i am at wrk and i get time to see them usually voice mail is the "TOP" one and will not dissapear until i LISTEN to it, EXTREMLY annoying.
Does anyone have any fix/work around?

Hi... I wanted to bump this message because I have the same problem and I was hoping there was an easy answer.... i figure its an easy fix.... but man its annoying getting that voicemail txt msg and you tap on dismiss and its still there...
thanks in advance..
I just posted an ongoing email thread with Cingular/HTC support for the Cingular 8525 (Hermes) about the exact same issue. Included in the emails is a verification that this is also a confirmed bug on the Cingular 8125 (Wizard). I am going to stay on their asses about the 8525, and post any replies I get. Here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299865
I posted this in the other sub thread but got no response so I thought I'd try here. I recently installed the palm threaded sms app. I love using this for text msging except for the fact that I get no sound or vibration when I recieve a new txt. I have checked the settings in the sound notifications and everything there has sound applied to it. Any help would be great. I want to continue using this program but won't be able to if I can't tell when I get a sms msg.
you should have a separate entry in the notifications list showing Text Message (Palm) or similar. You need to set this to the sound/vibrate you want. The only problem I've found is that none of the usual profile managers that allow you to switch between quiet/loud/normal/vibrate and such will change this notification as they are all hard-wired for the standard notification name only.
There is one for text msgs but no matter what I put there it doesn't give any kind of notification.
Edit: Found the one you were talking about I guess I just overlooked it testing it out now.
OK, i have the HTC Tilt 2, and its really annoying that i cant set up a personal tone for my text messages, can only use the ones that come with phone. I've tried pasting the tones into the correct folder, and still no go. And i dont even care if i can set them personal for different people, that doesnt matter i just want a custom tone for incoming text messages in general.
If anyone has a freeware app for this or an app in general that can do this please let me know i would greatly appreciate it.

I agree with the above idea. One added note, if you make a folder called "Sounds" on your storage card, the Rom should recognize it in your ringtones folder. It does on mine.
Actually The easiest way to do it is just paste the custom ringtone in your windows folder with all the rest of the ringtones and as soon as you go to notifications it will recognize it right away... dont put it in any folder just put the file directly in the folder... Fool-proof
I put my text message sound in Device>Application Data>Sounds. When you put it in the Windows file, it only shows up for a ringtone, not other notifications.
tried that
I tried all of that... I ended up just getting fed up with trying that, So i paid for the Ringo app, does all of it, custom ring tones, message tones, and custom for any contact you want to add
What I want is a way to have specific sounds for different people texting.... ie.. Text from person A comes in and notification A plays..... text from person B comes in and notification B plays.
Now THAT would be handy!

Yeah, my Motorola SLVR used to do that. I would set a ringtone for someone and it would play if they were calling or texting.
But then it got confusing, because I didn't know if I needed to hurry up and answer the phone or not. So sometimes I would run to the phone only to find out it was a text. I was a lot skinnier back then.
Ringo
I paid for the ringo app 9.99, and you can create custom contacts separate sounds for both text msg and calling, but if you pull ringtones off your sd card, it cuts them off after a certain time out. which doesnt bother me that much. But I do now have custom tones for all my important contacts, for both calls and texts, and you can use any mp3, regardless if it is a shortened ringtone version or a whole song.
personal ringtones go in the "Ringtones" folder.
All other personalized sounds (text, missed call, etc) go in the Windows folder. Just copy and paste em in there
As already suggested I put my personal tones in the Windows folder directly, and they all show up and are available for selection in the 'sounds and notifications' section, in fact I altered my 'incoming email' one today.
What I believe he is asking for needs a third party app. To have an individual sms tone for each contact you will need something like Ringo. What everyone else is suggesting is a way to add custom tones in general..

This is true, MP3/WAV go into the ringtones folder in my documents...
NOW for alerts and alarms they need to be a wav or wma file and you place them directly into the windows directory. I usually add a zz to the beginning of the file name so all the alarms/alerts I make are always at the bottom of the list and easier to find...

i have always just put the files directly in the windows folder (only the ones for txt) and it has always worked fine for me
it seems that this was well covered but i had this same prob. i ended up downloading a program called Tonality that i was able 2 change just about any sound on my phone 4 free....even call waiting. i tried to place the link but since im a new user i was unable 2 do so. jus type Tonality in & you'll find the link 4 it over at freewarepocketpc. hope that works 4u.
best way to do it for alerts and ring tones is put them in the root of your sd card, no folders or anything just in the root. This way does not eat up your phones mem as well.
I am running the Dell stock 1.6 software.
1.Is there a way to set different sound options for different notifications. Example, I would prefer to only get an audible notification for SMS messages but none for emails. I don't see that option. If there is not, is there a program that will do this?
2. As part of this issue, I now get little beeps or bells going off and by looking at the notifications can not determine what caused the sound. I don't even see any changes in emails or my Facebook widget. Maybe tweets?
3. My notifications are suddenly screwed up. It keeps telling me I have x number of emails to read. I click on it, read them or even "mark folder as read" and then it still tells me I have the same number of emails to read. this didn't used to happen. It started recently.
Thanks

1. You can configure the notification in each app. Start gmail and go to settings etc....
2. It may be sd card notifications which you can turn off in the main settings app.
3 try forcing a sync.
4. Upgrade to 2.1 or froyo. ;-)

I am trying to change the "ding" sound that FB Messenger plays everything a new message arrives but I haven't had any success. I have changed both the Notification Sound and Ringtone sound but it seems that these sounds are separate from where the "ding" notification from and I can't find the location where to change it. The smartphone is not rooted. I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
It's in the "Notifications & Sounds" settings under in the Messenger app.
The default notification sound is called "Messenger" -- change it to whatever you want.
This post (#3) and post #4 are Identical. as I accidentally posted it twice and am unable to delete this post. Please refer to post #4.

Got it! Thank you. I have downloaded and transferred couple of sounds file onto the Notification folder of the smartphone and have been able to select them as an option for other apps (facebook, instagram, etc.) but for some reason I don't see those as an option with FB Messenger. I tried placing it in other folders but had no luck. Is it a specific folder where I should place the file in order to see it as an option for FB Messenger?

I had the same problem. You have them in the right spot, but you need to give Messenger permission to access them.
I have a somewhat related question.. when a notification comes from, let's say, an sms app and I have my phone set to notify me every minute of unread notification, how do I make the sound of repeat notification the same as the the original notification of whatever notified me on the first place (in this case sms app)?

I'm not sure if this is related at all but either way, in order for these experts to help you, I think you need to be a bit more specific (at least for me to try to help ) such as what is the name of this sms app and an example of what you're trying to do exactly.

Okay so I have an SMS application called go SMS pro and I have a ring tone set for it through go SMS pro app. when I receive a text message that ring tone rings but when the notification keeps repeating the sound at this point is different , it's the default in the system instead of the one I set in the app. I hope that's a little bit more clear . I used to be able to set the ring tone for repeat notifications directly in the app but that was an older versions now I have to set it through my phone settings and that sound is different than the one set in go SMS pro. also the repeat notification sound that is set in my phone settings sounds for everything that gets repeated doesn't matter of the application. so I have different ring tones set for different applications but when that notification gets repeated it all defaults to just one ring tone stead of the ones I set for each application
