Anyone know how to "fix" this problem:
You can set notification ON when a new rss feed appears.. but i can´t change the tone for it! The standard tone for it is horrible i think.. so is there an option to change this tone or to set it that just the rss icon appears on the homescreen without any sound?
Slightly late reply to this one, but the settings for RSS Hub's notifications are in the registry, in HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\{695F6B37.....}. There's a String value in there called Wave, which points to the sound file used for the notification.
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
Hi,
I'm having the following issue with miniCM6 release 1.0.0 and I also had it with lizypen's stable 2.2.1 ROM (based on miniCM also):
The default ringtone for notifications is a horrible sound called 'Terrible Twos'. I have tried to change it in Settings -> Sound -> Notification ringtone and apparently the ringtone is changed, however whenever a new notification comes in (e-mail, SMS, aynthing) the Terrible Twos sound pops up again and no ringtone appears selected in Settings. I use Handcent SMS, that allows to 'test' the notification settings and when I test it the behavior is normal (i.e. the ringtone that I selected appears as the default) but when an actual SMS comes in the Terrible Twos sounds again.
So what I had to do is to manually set a notification ringtone in every application that generates notification (SMS, GMail, the 'other' e-mail, Calengoo, etc. etc.), thus overriding the default. However this is no solution for me, because sometimes I discover a new application that generates notifications and I have to go and set it again. And there is the FM radio, that generates a notification whenever a new favourite station is set and that notification ringtone cannot be set so is always the system default
Is there something wrong with my phone or somebody else has noted this too?
Regards
Bump!!
Am I alone with this little but annoying problem?
once i have that problem my solution was use root explorer and copy my own music on sdcard/media/audio/notifications and then i was able to select my songs form settings and notifications
Or may be getting rid of that ringtone via root explorer may help. No experience, but just a thought!
Thanks a lot gabo_10!
Apparently the system default ringtone has to reside in the memory card to work properly.
karefri, I haven't tried deleting it, because I don't know where it is! There is no 'Terrible Twos' in /system/media/audio, where all ringtones are.
Regards
Well, I moved my preferred notification sound to the sd card but the problem persisted...
HOWEVER, I switched to Elelinux and the problem is gone! It's a very nice ROM!
Hey it's not a specific N4 problem but anyway...
Isn't it possible to set an event in the google calendar with a real alarm? Not just the notification with its short sound.
I want a long and sharp sound which I have to stop on the phone. But can't find something like that on stock calendar app.
thx
Big question...
I'm using Priv (with Marshmallow) and after setting a custom ringtone for individual contacts, it doesn't work.
Funny thing is, the setting for a general ringtone works normally.
So, I've set the ringtones in Contacts - Edit - Set ringtone - Selected and confirmed (the preview plays normally).
When I get a call from that person it just plays the general ringtone and not the one set for the contact. I don't have any phone contacts or SIM contacts, they are all from Google.
I've also tried clearing cache and data for Contacts, restarting the phone ... and I've run out of ideas.
Help me please!
