Am new to Android and can't work out how to turn off sound notifications for emails yet retain them for SMS text messages?
I get a lot of emails that aren't urgent (an can read in my own time) but would like to still know immediately when a text comes in...
Cheers
Yeah go into e-mails and then press menu then go to more then settings it's in there. Notification settings, sounds OFF.
In the email applications you can set the ringtone for email notifications to silent? Presumably that allows you to keep SMS notification sounds.
The way i described allows to keep sms sounds.

Hi all
Is anyone using any form of reminders for miscalls and messages?
I tend to miss calls and messages on my Galaxy S and I never know about it till the next time I flick the screen on
It would be great if this phone had some form of lighting like my old 5800 which would blink its button when the phone had a notification but sadly the Galaxy S does not
So yeah just wondering if anyone is using some form of reminder application
An ideal application would be one that makes a noise every 15 or 30mins
Research bln notifications and using minimalistic text with tasker... Works for me.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Missed reminder perfect foy my needs. Check it out.
Go SMS and Hand something have reminders and popups.
NoLED (my favorite app)
or BLN (less customizable options compared to NoLED , i.e you cant distinguish between calls, SMSs, emails, gtalk and other types of notifications. But has better battery life)

Try phoneweaver. It gives an audible reminder of missed calls and sms etc. After each reminder it waits double the previous reminder time before giving another audible reminder. The automatic profile switching is nice too.

Im also looking for some appliacation that can repeat the tone or vibrate again with in a preset time if the SMS/call is not checked.

When I'm on the phone in a call and receive a text message, my phone does not beep/notify me at all. I just want it to vibrate is there any setting to set it to? I'm using the stock messaging app?

Not sure if it's possible without 3rd party apps, but if you don't mind you can try Light Flow. Not only it allows you to set that (for the stock messaging app), but you can also configure the phone to blink LED with some (chosen by you) color for text messages.
I also used Light Flow and it works great, i even set it up so different alerts vibrate differently, its pretty cool.
I see a vibrate always option at the bottom of the settings in the stock app?
My note 2 has started to make notification tone 2-5 times per day but nothing happens. No sms, no email, no notifications..nothing.
Any ideas how to get rid of this sound?
I have checked all my apps and I have only maildroid email app.

Set a custom notification sound for each app (Email, SMS, FB, ...) to find out which app makes the notification.
use ilermin

I have tried. I also changed settings -> sound -> notification sound to different one and then that random sound also changed. but still I have no idea what is that notification.
I recently switched from an S4 to a Note 4, and have been missing lots of incoming SMS messages. I realize now that the S4 would beep any time a new message arrived, but the Note 4 suppresses notifications when you're inside the conversation for which a new message arrives. I can kind of see the logic for this - why would one need the phone to beep if you're already on the screen that's showing you the incoming message? In practice, though, I find that I leave the conversation screen open all the time when I'm not looking at the phone.
Most frequently, I keep the phone on a dock at my desk, hooked up to my KVM switch, so I can use my keyboard/mouse to write messages during the day. After sending a message, I switch back to my main computer/monitor and work over there until the phone beeps at me again. I rely on the SMS notifications to grab my attention, but need to explicitly exit the conversation after sending each message now if I want the beep to occur. The same thing happens when I put the phone in my pocket, holster, on the counter, etc. after sending an SMS. I'm sure I'll develop a habit after a while, but it seems foolish to me that I can't just stay in a conversation and have it beep whenever there's activity. This is the only email/IM/SMS app that I have that behaves this way.
I've tried to force the Messages app to beep at me whenever an SMS arrives, but there doesn't appear to be an option for this. Hopefully, I've just overlooked it, so:
QUESTION: Is there a way to configure the Messages app to beep whenever an SMS arrives, even if I'm already inside the conversation for the new message?
I'm using the stock ROM, no root, the default Messages app that comes on the phone, and a built-in notification sound (i.e. not something custom from the external SD card). Vanilla configuration. Thanks for your help.

In phone app go to settings - call - call alerts . There is option to alert you on notifications. Make sure you have this check.

Just to clarify, when I say "conversation", I mean that I'm reading an SMS thread inside the Messages app - not having a verbal conversation in the Phone app. Assuming that this is understood...
In the "Call alerts" page, I see several settings. Mine are configured as follows (where "+" is checked, and "-" is unchecked):
CALL VIBRATIONS
+ Vibrate when answered
+ Call-end vibration
CALL STATUS TONES
+ Call connect tone
- Minute Minder
+ Call end tone
ALERTS ON CALL
+ Notify during calls
Under the configuration above, would you expect the Messages app to beep when an SMS arrives on the thread that I'm currently reading?

Now i'm not sure. i need to see if in scenario you talking about i have notification, if i do i will explain my settings.
EDIT:
OK. I have notification. In settings in default messenger i have in notification Notification sound ( choose as you wish)
Vibrate +
Repeat message alert ( I got every 10 Min)
Pop-up display +
Lock Screen +
Status Bar +
What im reading messages i got pop-up with sound on top of message app.
But when im reading message and i get message from same person i don't have sound notification. It must be setup by software this way.
Did you find a fix? Mine does the same thing.

I'm still getting the same behavior. Missed several messages yesterday, in fact. This is the first thing I check after every OS update from AT&T, but I guess most people continue to prefer to not be notified when their text messages arrive.
If my screen is on while I'm in a conversation, you're correct, no notification will occur. But if my screen times out (locks) I will get a notification tone. I guess it just assumes you are looking at the screen if it's on and a message comes in.
Not aware of any way to change this.

I think that that's probably the intent. Maybe my habits are different than others', but I'm frequently not looking at the phone when the Messages app is up. Actually, before getting the Note 4 and training myself to switch off of Messages after reading each new text, I predominantly wasn't looking at the screen while Messages was up.
There's probably no one-size-fits-all setting here. It's just too bad that there's not an option to enable/disable audible notifications to fit individual preferences.
Did anyone ever find a way around this? You figure someone would have made an xposed module or something.
What a response.
Your response sounds like We should all be alike and conform.
Text notifications
Try '8sms' ... only text messaging app that I've found that will consistently notify me of incoming texts. Some apps will for a time but then stop doing so. This one has worked well for me.
