Hello,
Is there a way of having a different tone for a new SMS and a different tone for a new Email recieved?
At the moment, all notifications sound the same, so you cannot distiguish between new email, sms etc, without looking at the phone.
Cheers,
Go to the relevant app e.g. gmail and then click menu and then change the notification sound to whatever you want...
You can set the sms sound in the sms settings, not for emails though so I guess emails use the default notification sound.
In Gmail menu > more > select ringtone
and you can change what appears in the list by creating folders for the notifications, then moving the sounds there
Problem with the phone is you can't have different tones for different people which is annoying.
You can have different ringtones for different contacts....

I have tried Ringo which works just OK. Photo Contacts Pro works well until it closes itself I guess because of memory.
All I really need is SMS tone to asign to a specific contact and would like a full photo caller ID.
Can I manually set an SMS tone to a contact or do I have to find a program?
Start > Settings > Sounds and Notifications
From the "Event" menu, select "Messaging: New Text Message" and select the tone you want.
that only sets universal text message (or any other function) sounds. I think the original poster wants to set them for specific contacts (like a ringtone).
I am with you on wanting a full screen contact photo with an incoming call. any ideas/programs you have found?
Is it possible to change the notification sound to something that is NOT in the list of available sounds that were supplied with the phone?
I can set ringtones easily from my MP3 list, but didn't find a way to set a WAV/MP3 to be my notification sound...
get ringdroid from the market. Should help.
Put the mp3 file on the SD card in the folder:
Android\Media\Audio\Notifications
mount the SD card
Then open SMS app, properties and select the mp3 as ringtone
Ah - simple
Thanks!

when you open each app (email and messaging) just hit menu>settings and choose the notification ringtone for each there. it can adhere to the default notification as set in the main settings panel, or use its own.
Hey guys, i don't like have one notification noise for ALL my notifications. now i can't tell the difference between emails, sms etc. i looked under settings but it only allows you to set one sound over all. is there any way to get individual sounds for individual events?
Each one of those have a settings tab. You can change them idependently. IE: Open Messages and go to settings, Notifications and change it. Same with gmail and exchange.
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
Where is the setting to change ringtone for the received SMS?
I don't see any such setting in the (stock) SMS app, and in global Settings/Sounds, there are only options to set ringtone for calls, alarm, events and notification - none of them corresponds to SMS
MIUI 11.0.4.0 QFJEUXM Global Stable
Good one
Go to settings, sound and vibration, there you have 4 rectangles at the very top, right bottom is notification tile, so you know what to do

Hmm ok, but that means SMS must share the same tune as any other notification (excl. calls, alarms and calendar events). Pretty bad design from Xiaomi
Besides, this is a dual SIM phone, hence expected to be able to define different 'ringtones' for SMSes received over different SIM cards (fortunately, ringtones for calls can be distinguished per SIM channels)
Dude, do you even went through settings or used search in settings?
You can set specific ringtone to every contact and you also can go to settings, notifications where you have every app with possibility to set specific notification and ringtone

Dude, I don't want to set different ringtone for every contact, but simply want to distinguish from which SIM channel did SMS come.
I will be very grateful if you show me where is that in the MiUi Settings.
And I know that eg WhatsApp and similar apps can set their own, different tumes (to distinguish from default notification - but this is not thanks to MIUI or XiaomiI, but thanks to those apps and their developers themselves.
Found it, it is possible to define different ringtones for SMS received via SIM 1 and SIM 2, by using Setedit app and by changing the values for:
sms_received_sound_slot_1
sms_received_sound_slot_2
in the System Table
