Sorry if this seems like a couple of daft questions but I can't seem to find them out myself.
1) Is there a way to make the notification sound different for a text and an email. Right now if I receive either I hear the same sound, with the number of emails I get a day I tend to ignore it which now results in my not seeing I have a text till a couple hours later.
2) Is there some way to see how many texts and calls I've made over a set period of time? All the phones I've had before would give totals for me which I could then reset but I can't find that in this phone. I've downloaded an app called Phonalyzr but it doesn't do what I'm really after.
on the first point, go to Messages, press Menu --> Settings --> Select ringtone
same for email
hmm i dont seem to be able to do that. When I change the notification sound in either the messaging app or the default phone settings it changes in both. I dont have the option to change it in mail (I use activesync btw).
Its very annoying to have the same sound for both.
The notification sound set in the main phone settings will be for anything on the phone that you haven't set a different one for.
If you then go to messages and in the first messages window with "compose message" at the top, press menu / settings /scroll down to notication setting and choose select sound - you can then choose a different sound for messages.
There's currently no option to choose a different sound for gmail or mail as far as I know.

but when i open my Gmail, Menu, Settings, i get the Choose Ringtone option....first is Default Ringtone, then others :/
You are right Suisen - Thanks - Meant the HTC Mail one, but of course you can change the gmail notify to a seperate one. I just not done it on my Hero.
With most progs, if the app itself allows you to select a sound it'll have its own, but if not, it plays the one you choose in main Phone settings.

Cheers for that, now I know when to actually look at my phone when it makes a sounds

I was wondering if there was any way of allowing voice command to still voice the notifications from the calander while the phone is on vibrate...
I dont want to have to switch a bunch of things in the phone when i walk into work to get it to work correctly... I also have htc home - schen 2.10 and would like to be able to actively switch through there for the different sound options...
is there a reg value that i can edit? or something with the htc home that i can setup to just vibrate under the last option in the menu to my custom settings to set to just vibrate and stop sounds and notifications but allow the voice command come through without issues?
Thanks,
Dan
You can use a "silent" ringtone and set the phone to ring & vibrate. There is one around called silent.wav -- you can probably find it if you search for it.
that will solve one of my problems, but what about silencing the notifications for text messages... i want everything to vibrate but the voiced reminders....
uhm maybe use the same wav file for notifications too?
notifications can play a sound and vibrate at the same time?
Check out settings>personal>sounds & notifications>notifications. The event option is a dropscreen and you can pick the different things to configure.
Cheers...
brilliant... i was looking for this before but had a blonde moment appearantly...
now, is there any way to setup the sound settings in the htc home to revert to different ringer settings with the 4th option on the page? so at work i could have it work as one setting, and outside i can select the first and i can have it revert to ring and everything as normal?
i would like to custom set the different profiles...
Problem is windows mobile doesn't have more than 3 profiles. If you want more your going to have to install a 3rd party program.
Email, vs text, vs picture message??
Also - when I get a facebook notification.......why doesn't my phone tell me about it like all my friend blackberries and iphones do?
Sigh.
you have to go into each individual program, hit the menu touch capacative button, hit settings, and then check the notification option and choose the ringtone. as for the facebook issue, eveyone has it. I receive notifications ver sporadically and few and far between. Its just something wrong with the facebook ap.
Edit: as for mms notifications, I'm pretty sure that its the same as the sms notification. Just go to settings, sound nd display, and choose the ringtone.

Thanks, I figured I just wasn't thinking!
A few months ago I moved from Windows Mobile 6.5 to Android. A feature I miss a bunch is the ability to have my scheduled tasks alert me. Using Android the task alert is the text message alert. I have been unable to find a way to make my tasks have a separate alert. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks!
Are you referring to the notification ringtones? because you can change that through the settings in the calander app to make it something different than the default.

yes that is what I am referring to... however if I change the notification ring tone it changes the text message ring tone.
Tasks
I have all my schedules for work in my phone set up in my calander, since i also came from a Windows phone (Q9C) i was using outlook for all my apts. THere is a exchange program u can use thru google that will link the 2 and bring all your tasks into your new calander on your phone. U can then set each event to alert u a set time before, just like in WINM0b. I set mine up to alert me 1 hour before i work and if the phone is on silent, theres a icon on top left screen telling me theres a event. u can also set up sounds. I hope this helps, and hope the info helps u. I am running Dk28 Froyo and there are some differences, so if some of this makes no sense, thats prob the reason. the program thru google is google calander. seach for it, it works

When you change it through the calendar app, it only effects notifications from that app, the default notification ringtone will remain the same. Also, you can specify a specific notification ringtone through the messaging app, and gmail as well, and have them all be something different than the default notification ringtone that is set through the main settings->sound menu.
Open up the calendar app, hit the menu button, select settings, then change the ringtone for that app.
All my appointments are through google calender. I am running Froyo (Bonsai MOD). The one hour thing is what I have as well... the issue I am having is my text msg alert seems like it has to be the same as the task alert. I liked having my task alert long(like a ring tone) and I like having a short text msg alert.

wow... just wow. I really feel like a noob. It was so simple. Thanks!
You can also DL tone picker from the market. It will give you a few more selections when trying to change notification tones, including the use of music found on your SD card. Just a lil FYI if you're not too big on system tones only.

Thanks for the heads up however "Select music" is installed by default and will let you do the music from your SD card thing(all my ring tones are there)
You can also just create a directory on your sd card and place your audio files there. On your sd card, create a directory with folders as such
sdcard
|-media
--|-audio
----|-alarms
------|-random.mp3
------|-random.ogg
----|-notifications
------|-another.mp3
------|-another.aac
----|-ringtones
------|-you_get_the_picture.mp3
------|-insert_audio_file_here.wav
So how do I turn this alert off.
Problem is that it wakes the whole house at night when I leave phone chargeing.
As I understand it, it is in the same category of signals as an SMS.
Do want to hear when SMS received.
I have gone through the menus 101 times.
There are 2 things.
1 is default notification. Settings->Sound->notifications (The notification center)
2 is the sound each application will give when notified. This overrides the 1
If the app has been set to default (which it normally is) then it tell the phone to sound the default notification as defined in 1
So in your case go to 1 and make it silent (this will silence all notification even full charge one. ringtone is not effected)
Now since u still want SMS/GMAIL/Calendar etc to notify. Open those apps, go to their settings and select the sound you want to hear when they want to notify. Just open them and press menu, select settings and see notification options and configure it in the app itself to sound whatever notification you want to hear. In my case SMS/Gmail/K9/GV/Calendar etc have different sounds so I know if it needs immediate attention.
THANK YOU, I would never have figured this out myself.
Followed your description, and I'm sure it works.
I apologize if this is not the correct forum/thread to post this . . .
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
