Hi. My MT4G is rooted and unlocked, running gingerbread 2.3.3. My problem is that I have no email notification sound, although it is set to alert me. I am using the stock email client, and would really like to stick with that due to the integration with contacts and faves. I have tried every angle I could think of: global settings, email settings, my modes, etc. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
Many thanks.
Same issue
What happened to the option to set the email notification sound? Right now it defaults to using 'Alpha' as the alert. However, I didn't even set 'Alpha' as the system notification sound either.

I've just switched over from a blackberry, and I absolutely LOVE this phone. However my main pet-peeve (other than the battery) is the lack of per contact SMS sounds. I get SMS notifications when one of my servers at work has an issue and basically need to be able to override vibrate settings as well as a custom sound from this particular contact. I was curious if there was anything like this available.
Thanks in advance.
Look for SMSPopUp in the Market. I believe it allows you to set individual notification tones.
you could also try handcent or chompsms, they all allow this. Just make sure you turn off notification in the default app or you'll be getting double notifications.
This is great! Thank you.
Best of all its open source, so I can add the features im missing, such as overriding silent/vibrate (if at all possible)
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.
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. ;-)

My DZ running 1.72, as the title says doesn't give an audio notification for new emails, I have tried POP and currently using IMAP, if that make any difference. All other notifications work fine, I have tried using my own files using created MP3 Ringtone and those supplied with the phone but still silence It shows in the notification bar, I don't know what else to do, any ideas?

is your volume on? that'd be funny if that was the issue. Do you have sound when you receive sms?
Yes volume is on, all other notifications and incomings calls are fine, it is just the email notification that doesn't make any sound.
Finally sorted out, what a noob mistake.While looking for some other settings, I found the setting to enable audio notification within the email software, being the first time I had set up email on my phone I had assumed that it would by default like sms!
Anyone else experiencing this? I have work Exchange account set-up through the stock E-Mail app. I have the notification box not checked at all in both my account settings as well as the priority sender options.
Yet every time I get an e-mail, I get a notification, the LED light, and a beep.
Any ideas?
