Trying to configure sounds for specific apps (eg. Evolve SMS) and it seems not to stick - any thoughts?

Is there a one-click method or app that will allow me to switch on vibrate (ideally for calls and sms, or also email if it's all or nothing) independently of sound?
Basically I want sound to always be on, but sometimes when in certain places I want to add vibrate.
I've seen some apps that can be customised to switch on vibrate in certain loactions or times of day etc, but my need seems to be more random and it's more of a pain to program that type of app and find that I need to keep changing it, ideally I'd just like a widget that adds vibrate without killing sound.
app called Volume Control allows that for ringer and notifications, but unfortunately no option for sms or email
3 cool sound programs for N1
Try:
EAR *EASIEST* (sits in task bar)
MISSEDCALL - *more configurable* (sits in task bar)
TIMERIFFIC - *auto timed sound/light settings* (runs as service)
Thanks, ear seems the most relevant & easiest to change from one setting to another, but again doesn't allow controlling the vibrate setting of sms and email
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)
okay so under setting - notification sounds - you can only set your default notifications sounds which i guess is one sound for all type of notifications, emailes txt and so forth. I of course want different sounds for individual notifications. When i go to my email and change the notification sound of my email under its own settings it keeps reverting back to the default sound under the phone settings. Any way to by pass this? please help
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!
I'm I just blind or did Google reMove the overall notification sound within Android Messages? I can set individual contact notification sounds, not not the overall default notification for Android Messages.
Reason I ask is I set different notifications per app. I really don't want Messages to use the default notification sound of the phone. Luckily it is still how I set it. I just hope they don't override it!
In Messages go to Settings -> Notifications -> Behavior, sound & more -> Other notifications
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Why on earth did they bury it so deeply? ?
