Hi guys just wondering if its possible to have different tones for various notifications like sms,emal etc or is it just one tone for everything.Thanks.
If you already have some music on your phone that you want to turn into tones/notifications etc, download Ringdroid from the market. Worked well for me!
thanks mate will give it a try
I've got the unbranded Desire from Carphone Warehouse.
On this device, if you go into gmail app, you can change the notification sound for just that app in the settings. The default choice is "use default [notification] sound", but you can chose others.
You can use any sound they just have to be in the right place.
On SD cards root make folders. Then they will show up when looking.
Alarms - For alarms obviously.
Notifications - For message tones.

I'm not sure if your question has been fully answered; but I was wondering the same thing. How to have a different tone for sms, emails, facebook etc.
I know some apps allow for this in their settings but I can only see one place for 'general notifications' and this applies to all types of notifications.

For facebook open the app press menu then settings. You can choose a sound in here.
I think sms and email has to be the same. Someone prove me wrong please.

this program isnt bad at all
you also could try those home programs like ADWlauncher etc as you can customize them accordingly
Just a shame that Missed it only works with google email as i have just found out

MissedIt (at least in the latest version 1.4.0) works with all email clients which support notification, e.g K9.
Every app that uses notifications can be displayed (now).

I use the widget "SMS Unread Count", the thing for calls, mails and sms. works perfectly, but also miss the notification for gtalk...
when dragging the widget to homescreen, you'll have the possibility to change the icon, to give them a title... decide which "notification" size to choose–there are two options, small and large. zero's could also be displayed by choice.
a app called "missed it!" is what you looking for

Not that it only kills your battery but it severely speeds up the degradation on the screen even if its just black. A lit screen will degrade faster than a totally off screen.
Thanks brendo.
I assume this could be done for Facebook and Twitter???
yeah, anything with a notification (a number that dispays on the icon). ive seen it done with facebook, wish i could do it with ebay

I was wondering if someone could tell me where the menu choice is to assign a ringtone to my incoming gmail mails? I don't see it where I normally do. I have assigned custom ringtones to my text messages, Google Voice, RINGTONE, calendar events and email without a problem -- I just don't see the same setting choice in Gmail. I'm problably looking right at it and missing it, but... if someone could help, I'd sure appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
Wingmann
I just want it to be silent haha.
I don't think there is an option for a custom ringtone. Not in my version of Gmail anyways. I think it falls under the Notification Ringtone in the Sound settings.
You can change it by going into your Gmail then click on menu/more/settings/"youremail" then scroll down to " Labels to notify" choose "Inbox" you will see Ringtone - My Gmail then you can choose what ever ringtone you like.. Hope that helps
or by settings in noled in accessability

Your directions were perfect, jmares! Thank you so much for the info. I knew it was there somewhere, but I guess I didn't click further into that particular box's setting. I now have a custom ringtone for gmail again. It was much easier to get to/change when I used gmail on my HD2! Anyway, I hope this helps others, too!

Anyone else's GO SMS not showing the sender's name for text messages, just the #? No issues until ICS.
To add to that ive got a gosms notification in my top bar to say ive got a new message. I can see the first few words of the message but when i click on it i cant see the text (i just get the text box to reply) and it doesnt exist in the stock sms app either.
I have this problem as well, also custom themes do not work at all. I've abandoned gosms for handcent for now at least. It's too bad the ICS theme for gosms looks so great too!
i have this aswell, i thought it was just me. Hopefully it will be updated soon.
Yeah - I had the same problem. I've switched to stock Messaging app and SMS Popup out of necessity, but now that I know Handcent works I might try that.
Newbie question, but what advantages do 3rd party SMS apps over the stock app.

Different themes, pop-up notifications with the ability to reply, just far more control in general.

Think iPhone vs. Android in terms of the amount of control one has.

The big feature is SMS pop up - it's super nice. SMS pop up doesn't remove the text from the notification bar, but it does mark it read, which is annoying. Handcent works alright.

Hi,
Same issue here (French, 4.0.1).
Also sometimes having unkown failure trying to send mail, after closing Go contacts...
An update may come soon...

GO SMS
Developer is working on update for GO SMS to be compatible with ICS - I have found Chomp to work the best in the mean time
GO SMS for ICS released this morning! Fixed...kind of.
Some of the messages have been linked to the contact, but not all. Can't see the pattern either. Again, only occurs within the app. Quick Reply is fine.
Edit: Just did a clear data. Will see what happens.
Edit: Just received a few SMS. Some are finding the name, some arent'. No pattern that I can see.
Guys,
Do any of you use individual sound notifications for either the Phone or Messaging Apps?
I appreciate titles such as GoSMS Pro and Textra for messaging can handle individual sounds but it would be good to hear if the standard apps on the G3 could achieve this?
You can do this with app from gp called MegaSound

Sorry but I don't think I explained it clearly enough..
Basically what I am looking for is an app that when one of your contacts is called into a notification be it a phone call or a text message it plays a sound that identifies the caller.
In the past I have created dozens of individually identifiable text/phone alerts that I use to identify who is either phoning or texting me.
GoSMS Pro and Textra to name but two I have used in the past to give each contact their own individual sound notification.
I was hoping rather than install GoSMS Pro or Textra again maybe I could use the default phone and messaging apps but with some way to identify each of my contacts?

Thanks.... I guessed it would end up like this.
Yet again it's the phone that has individual ringtone but messenger can't have the same.

Thanks but I have two problems with this:-
1. It doesn't allow you to select a pre-made sound file.
2. Are you sure this allocates the same sound file for an individual to both the phone and messaging apps?
i dont seem to find an option for setting SMS tone for specific contact in this phone and i know that its one of the most basic features any phone offers from iphone to even a nokia...
am i missing somthing ?

You can't with the default Messaging app.
Your only options are:-
1. Go to Settings/Accessibility and switch on 'Message / call voice notifications.
or
2. Install a different Text app and make it default.
Textra offers individual notifications both with sounds and individual coloured icons in the notification bar.

It does use specific tone for individual contacts...... I know because I am using it in this way myself.
What you must do is after launching Textra PRESS & HOLD on one of your contacts and you will notice a 'Tick' has appeared over all the contacts with the one you selected highlighted.
Next, go to the top right and tap on the three dots and select Notifications. Now you can alter to your hearts content for that individual.
Job done....
