you should be able to but im not sure as i have the sprint g900p phone. but you can try, open gmail-top left hit the three lines- scroll down till you see settings-tap your account name-look for inbox sound and vibrate- tap sound ( you might get asked to complete action using, select one and hit just once), if you arent asked for that, pick a sound and hit okay. back out and your gmail is set.
messaging: open messages-upper right tap the three dots-tap settings-tap notifications-tap notification sounds (again, you might get asked to complete action using, select one and hit just once), if you arent asked for that, pick a sound and hit okay. back out and messaging is done.
hope that helped

I use lightflow for everything. Put all sounds on silent and use lightflow for vibrations, sounds, etc

Is there any add on for the Exec that will allow me to have a different notification sound for a Delivery Confirmation text (marked as from System Administrator on Vodafone).
I like to get a confirmation back but I only want a very short sound for it, not the normal notify sound I get with a normal text message!
Any ideas?

Don't know if this will work - but I noticed the other day that you can assign ringtones to specific contacts (I think) - maybe you could set up the SysAdmin as a contact with a short ringtone - I don't know if that would work for texts. (I've not tried it at all).
No, this only works for Ringtones, not Notifications from text messages.
where are all the default sounds for text notifications kept?
Mortring does the job. Search in the google for it. I'm using and an can assigne diferent rings for instance for notifications.
Best regards,

Ive heard of Mortring, but can you tell me if it will allow a ringtone based not on a number but on a named string, as the test I get back for delivery confirmation doesnt have a number associated with it, it has the words "System Administrator" on it, no number at all.
Well i think not, because the one thing the app can do is to apply a ringtone to an unidentified contact, contact with no categories defined, by categories. The same for text messages.
So basically it functions using the number and the string used by the appz is the number.
Here is the topic made by the author of the program and you can ask him.

Greetings,
Aprt
Thank you for that, im greatful
Thought I'd tag on this thread.
I have just got two phones, on each for me and the good lady. She wants to know if there is a way of it reminding her that she has a text - currently the phone makes a noise once and then unless you open it up to check, you have no idea if you have a text.
Her old phone used to make a tone every few minutes if she had a text.
I can't see any settings in the phone to do this. Are there any apps out there that would fit the bill ?
Any advice greatfully received.

I don't know any apps, but you can go to Start>Settings>Personal> Sound and Notifications>Notifications>New Text Messages and check the "Flash light for NO LIMIT". This will ensure if you receive any text msgs that the indicator light will flash orange if you have any text message and it will only disappear after you dismiss or read it.

Phone Alarm from http://www.pocketmax.net/ will do this, and a lot more besides.
As for my problem, Mortring doesnt seem WM5 compatible - Oh well

You could read http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9736&highlight=vibrate+play+registry
and have a play. Let us all know if you get it to work.

but then I thought I'd have a look myself. Looking at the registry, text message notification is in notifications not sounds. Anyone know what the options are in HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications/*/Options are ?

Has anybody else found annoying bugs so far? Here's the ones that I've run into:
- Address Book server sync overwrites changes that you've made from the phone (haven't confirmed this one, might be my fault somehow)
- Multimedia volume slider plays your ringtone once you adjust the volume, but plays it at the volume set in the ringtone slider (not the volume that you're actually adjusting)
- Browser bookmarks list has a lot of trouble keeping site icons straight, it just kind of randomly shuffles them around to the wrong site as you load different bookmarks
- AOL Instant Messenger app shows weird behavior, not sure if it's a bug but it is definitely difficult to use in its current state. Locking the phone prevents messages from showing up, then on unlock they stream in all at once, and if you go too long without checking in on it the program will be terminated but your screen name will not be signed out of AOL's server
- There doesn't appear to be any way to set a vibration for notifications like Text Messages or IMs
- Some apps (MySpace Mobile, specifically) do not account for their process being interrupted when the screen rotates and the current action will be cancelled or the program will freeze.
Overall great phone, I'm really extremely impressed with it as a whole so far. I'm amazed at how fast my internet connection is on EDGE, my old Dash was technically on the exact same connection but took 5 or 10 times longer to load a full web page. Even without 3G the web browsing experience is comparable to using my desktop at home.

ya there is. for example, go to the main Messaging page where it shows all of your threads. Click on Menu > Settings > Vibrate (put a check mark)
same thing with IMs or EMail

Awesome, thank you! Weird that the option isn't available in the same place as setting the vibration function for the phone. Has anybody found solutions to any of these other problems?
Thanks
That fixed it for me. Thanks..its so Funny because Ive been messing around with my phone for 2 days and Just found this answer...Thanks
Android will get it wrong sometimes on sms threads when the sender is not in your contacts.
I noticed yesterday I received an sms from [email protected] and deleted it. Later an sms from +1913XXXXXXX. When I pulled up the my sms folders later, the newer, undeleted sms from the 913 number said it was from @domain.com.
(and the two are in no way related.) I did a reboot and it still displayed the same.

When I plug my G1 into my iMac the computer freezes and I need to do a hard restart. Is anyone else having this issue? My updates are current on my iMac and all of my other phones work without any problems.
when i play music and i turn of the screen, there is a jump every 15 seconds
here's an email bug...
Go to craigslist.org. I wanted to ask a seller a question. When I email from there, it gives me 2 options, to use my pop 3 email account or gmail. If I use gmail, it takes off the craigslist.org extension and replaces it with gmail.com. If i choose to send with my pop 3, it just opens a blank email without the email address. I try to copy and paste the address into the sending field, but it won't let me. I use craigslist a lot, so this is a bit of a pain...
Otherwise, lovin the G1

When it switches you over to gmail. Is the body filled out or the sender in the field?
no, just replaces the extention
Give it a try see what you find. www.craigslist.org
Actually i did try it and it worked for me.
But, i used the mobile version of Craigslist.

i mean its not that big a deal but just like anything else you put on the phone you dont need it but its cool.
Go into the notification settings:
settings-> all settings-> sounds & notifications-> notifications
from there select the event: Messaging: New text message. Check the box "Display message on screen"
Now when you get a text there will be a window that pops up from the bottom of the screen.

Hey guys just got the phone 2 days ago and i have a few trouble with it.
Long time user of android since G1 but some of the common things i do is not as visible as it seems.
I am from south east asia and i am using the DXJF4 firmware.
Right now the most common problem is that :
1) When you receive sms, you get 2 notifications one from the original sms from android and one from the samsung sms manager. How can i disable the original one?
2)How the hell do you assign ringtones? It seems like it's not easily accessed from the contacts menu?
3) On the top left handside above the volume button there seems to be a hole is that my set alone or is there a reason to have a hole there?
Okay so after searching a bit i found some of the answers.
1) There is no way to disable the 2 notifications for sms. You get both which is an arse.
I can't find any way to disable the original one.
2)You can only assign individual ringtone to contacts in the phone, that measn your google contacts can't be assigned. What a load of crap.
I'm sure there's a way to fix those. As soon as I get mine up and running, I'll try and help.
If all else fails, a custom rom will fix it, whenever that happens

The hole is where you would mount a wrist strap, or in Korea, one of those dangling decorations they all love.
I dun have this problem. I only receive 1 notification for SMS.
For assigning ringtones to contacts, this option is not available if your contacts are not phone contacts, eg contacts synced with gmail. The only way to assign ringtone to these contact is to create a phone contact and link the 2 together. Then you can assign the ringtone to the phone contact. This works for me.
Hmm yeah the phone contact is dumb IMHO.
But i am getting to notification, one white sms logo like the old android and another yellow envelope which i think is the samsung one.
What firmware are you on?
I am using a Malaysian unit with JBF4 i think.

I am from Singapore. Think firmware is JFX4 or something similar.
So you only get one notification is it? The yellow icon?
Argh i if only there is a way to access the old sms programs.
When Im tryin to call someone Im always getin a tone after the line first rings can I disable it?
It's under setting, under call settings.

I use Handcent, Missed Call (from Market by Anno), SPC (Super Private conversation) and the stock sms app.
You can disable the samsung sms notification.
Go to the stock Messaging
Click on the left button. Menu will pop up.
Click on Setting
Scroll down all the way and there is a notification setting.
Disable that.
Hope that helps.
Nah i am using only the default one. Haih i guess i will try to update to JFX5 and see if that helps.
I've asked multiple people about this and haven't been able to find the answer. Everytime I get an email I get two notifications one with the yahoo icon and then the red one with the @ sign. I go under accounts and under motoblur accounts it shows the @ icon and shows my email address. I use yahoo. When I press on that it doesn't let me change the username but let's me put in a password yet I can't remove that account. Basically, how do I stop from getting double notifications
Settings- data manager- data delivey- email and corprate sync- notifications...
Uncheck notifications.
That will get rid of the red one with [email protected] sign.
(Thanks are welcome if that fixed it for you. )
Ill get back with you to let you know how that worked
Need hotmail notifications
I'm also having an email notifications issue. It's a little different but I don't think it needs it own thread.
I use hotmail instead of Gmail, but my launcher pro mail icon won't show the number of emails. It works fine for text messages, just not my hotmail. I am getting a notification on my top bar, I just want to be able to quickly see the number. I'm really new to Android so it's probably an easy fix that I am just overlooking.

I had a similar problem, where I kept getting dual notifications. I fixed it by uninstalling the beautiful widgets addon pack.

Hm interesting because I do have that addon installed? Now what exactly were your problems? Would you get the y! And the @ notification each time you got emails?
I'm GreyBlured!
Sorry it took so long for me to post. When I had the beautiful Widgets pack, I would get double notifications for everything, email and text. The fact that you have the y! means that its a yahoo email. So either it's the Widgets or you may have a yahoo email app that's also notifying you.
