My mum has a A1 and used to have different sounds for mails and messages .. but since the last update she only has the ability to set one sound. Is there a way to get it working again?
Thanks in advance
Maybe the apps fr mail and messages have settings where yuo can choose sounds? For example m Textra messaging app lets me choose a different sound than other notifications. So does my Blue Mail app. I don't know how widespread that is though.

Checked, and for example Gmail lets you choose notificatin sounds as well. Settings - choose account - manage notifications -advanced - sound
(Wanted to point it out since it's sort of the default app for many)

There is a default sound setting which is probably what you are finding. But each application Jas its own notifications settings to override the default
Android Settings. Apps. Select desired app. Expand notifications.

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
Ok, this is my first Droid phone, so I'm still trying to figure it all out.
My default text message app is driving me crazy. It randomly decides to scroll up and down when it feels like it.
So, I've installed ChompSPS to use as my messaging app. No more random scrolling, so I'm happy.
The problem is, I can't figure out how to disable the default service notification.
I've been through settings -> sounds -> notifications but all I can find is a setting to change my ringtone for everything, and I can't find a general page for notifications.
So, how do I disable the default text message notifications?
i have some friends that used Handcent SMS on different phones and ran into the duplicate notification problem as well. i guess this post doesn't help much since i have no solution to offer, but just so you know, you're not the only one who's had trouble with this.

Go into the stock messaging app settings and turn off notifications there.
Thanks

Thanks.
Also, fyi: this is an android phone. Not a Droid phone. Droid is a line of phones in the same since that Galaxy S is a line of phones. Android is the operating system that runs all these phones.
And the other user is correct. Change setting in the OEM messaging app to keep from having duplicate notifications.

Which one?
I know to disable the Status bar one you go to messages then hit your menu softkey -->Settings (uncheck Notifications)
if you want to keep that and remove the Preview then go to the messages app hit your menu softkey --> Settings (uncheck Preview messages)

SOLVED:
You can disable notifications in Settings>Application Manager swipe over to all apps, then down to Samsung, as well as Samsung Apps. Click on each, and uncheck "Notifications".
Hope this helps someone.
I apologize if this is not the correct forum/thread to post this . . .
I am trying to change the "ding" sound that FB Messenger plays everything a new message arrives but I haven't had any success. I have changed both the Notification Sound and Ringtone sound but it seems that these sounds are separate from where the "ding" notification from and I can't find the location where to change it. The smartphone is not rooted. I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
It's in the "Notifications & Sounds" settings under in the Messenger app.
The default notification sound is called "Messenger" -- change it to whatever you want.
This post (#3) and post #4 are Identical. as I accidentally posted it twice and am unable to delete this post. Please refer to post #4.

Got it! Thank you. I have downloaded and transferred couple of sounds file onto the Notification folder of the smartphone and have been able to select them as an option for other apps (facebook, instagram, etc.) but for some reason I don't see those as an option with FB Messenger. I tried placing it in other folders but had no luck. Is it a specific folder where I should place the file in order to see it as an option for FB Messenger?

I had the same problem. You have them in the right spot, but you need to give Messenger permission to access them.
I have a somewhat related question.. when a notification comes from, let's say, an sms app and I have my phone set to notify me every minute of unread notification, how do I make the sound of repeat notification the same as the the original notification of whatever notified me on the first place (in this case sms app)?

I'm not sure if this is related at all but either way, in order for these experts to help you, I think you need to be a bit more specific (at least for me to try to help ) such as what is the name of this sms app and an example of what you're trying to do exactly.

Okay so I have an SMS application called go SMS pro and I have a ring tone set for it through go SMS pro app. when I receive a text message that ring tone rings but when the notification keeps repeating the sound at this point is different , it's the default in the system instead of the one I set in the app. I hope that's a little bit more clear . I used to be able to set the ring tone for repeat notifications directly in the app but that was an older versions now I have to set it through my phone settings and that sound is different than the one set in go SMS pro. also the repeat notification sound that is set in my phone settings sounds for everything that gets repeated doesn't matter of the application. so I have different ring tones set for different applications but when that notification gets repeated it all defaults to just one ring tone stead of the ones I set for each application
Hi,
does anyone know if it is possible to *unset* a special ringtone for a contact?
I had a special ringtone for a contact, but I cannot configure this contact to go back to the "default, systemwide" ringtone. And as I have a tasker task that switches from a loud ringtone to a silent one, simply setting the contact to the same ringtone that I have systemwide will not help. If I change the system ringtone, the custom ringtone for the contact will not change. (For the oneplus 3, I saw screenshots with a "default" entry which is missing now)

hmm deleting app data for the phone app did not help
Maybe you can paste the music in, sdcard/ringtone
---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------
You have to be root and paste the file in the root of the phone in system/media/audio/ringtones and put the same permissions as the other Ringtones rw-r--r--

That doesn't solve the problem, it's not about setting a specific ringtone. Rather, I had a contact with a special, custom ringtone and I cannot find a way to make this special contact "normal" again (ie so that it doesn't have a special ringtone but just the normal, systemwide one). It keeps being special with an own ringtone. I even deleted the contact in Google and recreated it, but somehow the phone recognized that it had the same number or email address and it had the special ringtone again...
I have a choice for none and that resets the ringtone to the system default.

it doesn't for me. If I set the custom ringtone for a person to none and the systemwide ringtone is, eg "oneplus tune" and that particular person calls me, the phone stays silent even when the alarm slider is "loud'.
Furthermore, if my system ringtone is "oneplus tune" and I open a regular contact (for which I had never set a custom ringtone before) and to the custom ringtone form it shows me the "oneplus tune" as active (and not "none"). From this, I'd say that "none" simply means an empty, silent ringtone which is, nevertheless, a ringtone which can be custom...
Yep, you're right.
It always reports what the systemwide ringtone in that field. Based on your information, it seems the ringtone is stored with the default number of the contact by the sounds of it. I tested it and got same result. I had to set the ringtone to match the system.

I checked my contacts in Google and found no ringtone information anywhere, so it must be stored somewhere on the phone. Even deleted the affected contact and created it as new, but as soon as I entered the phone number, the custom ringtone was back :-\
Don't know where to look where this information might be stored locally. Already deleted app data for the phone app and the contacts app, no luck so far
