Separate Email & SMS Notifications? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Have searched high and low but cannot find anything. I need to know if there is a way to set the email notification sound and a separate one for sms notifications? I know you can change the sound in the gmail app but it doesn't apply to the main email app, so no matter whether I get a text or email it plays the same ringtone - it's very straightforward on winmo but on Android I cannot find anyway of doing it.
Any ideas?

Set your default notification sound as one tone for email. Set notification for messaging as the other.

Ta muchly!!

In Android you can set your ringtone up by opening messaging hit the menu button then settings and look for notifications you should find you can set the ringtone from there, do the same for your email.

All sorted now second post had the answer, your method cannot be used as there is no ringtone settings in the mail app - that's what stumped me first off.

Settings/Notifications/Ringtone. In all messaging/email/Google Talk apps. They can all be changed independent of each other.

Hmmm strange just double checked this Rom on my HD2 and it's there under notifications in settings in both email app & gmail app, also checked my X10 and it's the same so maybe something to do with the rom you're running. As long as you're happy with your fix no probs.

Similar question - is there a way to disable sound for emails and enable sound for texts and vice versa? In volume control under settings, there is only one bar that lets you adjust all notification sound levels.

Turn sound for emails on/off:
open mail app > menu > more > settings > Notification settings
Turn sound for texts on/off:
open messaging app > menu > settings > scroll down to 'Received messages' section

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed

[Q] Changing Text Message Service Issues

Ok, this is my first Droid phone, so I'm still trying to figure it all out.
My default text message app is driving me crazy. It randomly decides to scroll up and down when it feels like it.
So, I've installed ChompSPS to use as my messaging app. No more random scrolling, so I'm happy.
The problem is, I can't figure out how to disable the default service notification.
I've been through settings -> sounds -> notifications but all I can find is a setting to change my ringtone for everything, and I can't find a general page for notifications.
So, how do I disable the default text message notifications?
i have some friends that used Handcent SMS on different phones and ran into the duplicate notification problem as well. i guess this post doesn't help much since i have no solution to offer, but just so you know, you're not the only one who's had trouble with this.

Go into the stock messaging app settings and turn off notifications there.
Thanks

The solution is often simple, isn't it?
Thanks.
Also, fyi: this is an android phone. Not a Droid phone. Droid is a line of phones in the same since that Galaxy S is a line of phones. Android is the operating system that runs all these phones.
And the other user is correct. Change setting in the OEM messaging app to keep from having duplicate notifications.

Notification issues with CyanogenMod

I've had this problem since 10.1 and it continues on 10.2
In messaging custom notification tone and vibrate settings do not stick at all. They stick in messaging settings but when a SMS arrives it buses the Android default notification tone and default vibration pattern.
In GMail my device vibrates with incoming email although that option isn't checked in GMail settings. Also when I delete a message via the option in the notification itself the device alerts me again via sound and vibrate like a new message is coming in even though i'm deleting a message.
I think there is a bug in CMs notification enhancements that doesn't play well with these two apps.
Anyone else having this or had it and have a cure?

I have the same issue on Cyanogenmod 10.2 for my Galaxy S4. I've been searching for a resolution or someone else with the problem and this the only thread I've been able to find.
What's strange is the notifications seem to work fine at first, but after some time passes I get the annoying alert on delete from notification bar issue. I also want to set my Gmail to not vibrate and have a silent alert tone, but it doesn't want to stick just like you said.
I've also tried stock Android 4.3 as a test and the notifications work fine, so I think this is just a Cyanogenmod issue? Have you had any luck resolving this?
I figured it out. It has to do with the profiles option in cyanogenmod. There's an option for Gmail notifications by default. If you disable profiles, the notification settings in Gmail are followed. Otherwise, they will be overrided by the settings in cyanogenmod profiles.

I'd been fighting this for a week, changing the default messaging app, setting different sounds in all apps. I never thought about the profiles affecting it. Finally, I have control again.

Been annoyed by a similar problem (no notification sounds at all, even when volume was turned up) until I found this thread. Simply disabling all profiles from the CM settings seems to have cleared this up! Thanks for the tip!

[Q] How to prevent the default SMS app notifications from appearing on lockscreen?

I have looked through the settings but there's nothing that disable notifications on the lockscreen.
the thing is I have setup the default SMS app with Dashclock/Dashnotifier but the SMS app ignores all of that and appears on its on separate panel in the lockscreen.
hope you guys can chime in on this

hmm. I tried that option before but it doesn't change anything :/
Unticking Preview Message just means you won't see the contents of the SMS and just "Message" instead
Just been wondering about this? ? bug

Separate sound notifications SMS/Email

Looking for a way to have separate tone for text/sms and for other alerts from email and various apps. I've found that you can go into your contacts and change each individual to have different alert tone than your default but this seems to be insanely time consuming. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Each app will have its own settings.
Phone:
Phone app > MORE > Settings > Ringtones and keypad tones > Ringtones
Messages:
Messages app > MORE > Settings > Notifications > Notification sound
Gmail:
Gmail app > Settings > [email protected] > Inbox sound & vibrate > Sound
You get the point. Look in the settings of the app.

Is there a settings for email notification on the always on screen? I get text notifications like it is cool and used to get email notification but suddenly that stopped?
