Separate Email & SMS Notifications?

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

I am using handcent now, and want to be able to remove the sms notification on my status bar as its rather redundant now, can I do that?

Go into the settings of the stock app and turn notifications off

Open the Messaging app -> menu -> settings -> Uncheck Notifications.

How to change default messaging app?

I've installed Go SMS on my Desire Z and want to make it the default messaging app, but I can't find the existing messaging app to disable it.
From reading around, I understand the instructions to be:
Go to Settings -> Applications, then select the Messaging appliation. Scroll down and select 'Clear Defaults'.
But if I select the "Messages" application the "Clear Defaults" button is disabled.
???

You don't disable the app itself, you just open Messages (the default app) and disable the notifications in Settings. Then turn on notifications in the SMS app you want to use.

I am assuming you are getting double notifications from the built-in messaging app and GO SMS?
open up your stock messaging app from your app drawer and get into the main screen. from there, hit the "Menu" button to bring up the additional options and go into "settings". in there, you can disable retrieval capabilities as well as notification settings.
Alternatively, I believe you can remove the stock app altogether by using Titanium.

According to GoSMS instructions, do not remove messaging app as it gives GoSMS better functionality. Just turn off notifications on the original messaging app. On other apps that use SMS, such as Contacts, if you cleared defaults, you should have a choice now of what messaging app to use. Choose GoSMS and that becomes the default SMS for that app.

Try Handcent.

Sending text to more than 1 person converts to MMS?

Does your nexus change the text message to a MMS when adding more than one recipient?
I understand it does when sending a very long message but this is even before adding any text.

Yes, it's "normal".

What would the benefit of that be?

If you're on a custom ROM it's probably your texting app
Change your settings
Open the MMS app > Settings > Look under "Multimedia (MMS) Messages"> Uncheck " Group Messaging"

Why messages still show up?

Hi. Have a Verizon s5. Was wondering. Even after I delete my messages in the stock messaging app. They still show up under phone -> recent -> all messages? Is there a way when I delete the messages from message app it's totally deleted. Instead of doing a double delete? Thanks

Try going to manage applications and look under all programs and clear cache on phone

I did that. Will show up again after u receive new text. Only solution I see is to delete it from messages and then also delete from recent messages.
