.... you can change your SMS sounds in the Sounds menu in Settings... As for the e-mail notification sound, that should be somewhere in your e-mail app's settings.
Thanks, I'll look in there while I have this post pulled up
Ok it works if I use the email app to set up Gmail, but can I change the sound in Gmail on the phone? I'm looking right now
Never mind I found that in the gmail app. if you want to reach through the computer screen and Gibbs smack me for asking before looking feel free to do so

I'll put a shout out for Light Flow. It lets you customize notifications in a very detailed way. It started as an LED flash customizer, and built up from there. I've got three Gmail accounts on my phone... each has a unique sound, LED color, and vibration assigned. So, I can hear, feel, and see the different notifiers. Works great if I'm in a meeting with sound and vibrate off for discretion. a quick glance at the phone shows me if I've got an email in to my "important" GMAIL account, and a different color/flash rate if there was a text waiting.
Check it out. There's a "lite" version of the app but I'm a paid user... it's worth every penny.

Light flow, I think I'll download that and check it out
Downloaded it, I stalled it

I'm not one to gush over an app, but damn Light Flow rocks. It has changed my relationship with my phone, making it so much easier to understand what's going on. And a lot less annoying!

is it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.
Oh I thought you guys had push notification ads

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.
Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?
Can we make a list of apps that support Jellybean notifications, would be nice to be using apps that support it.
so far itll be all the core google apps, tunein radio, and pulse i think.
Pulse doesn't, so far all I've seen are the core apps, Tunein, and Notification Toggles. Anyone see any other apps with it?
Can you post screen shots of notifications?
I do not get gmail,extended notification nor call back/SMS for missed calls
Twoons supports Jelly Bean notifications. It's a twitter client
Imgur For Android supports it too.

How does it work on yours? It doesn't work on mine.
I think the stock SMS and Gmail apps could be doing a much better job of utilizing the new notification style. All they do is show expanded views of messages. I'd like the SMS app to give me quick access to calling the sender or deleting the message right from the notification, and Gmail should let me delete or archive messages without going into the app. The missed call notifications (where you can choose to call the person or send a message right from the notification) are how it should be done for all apps where it makes sense, and I don't know why they didn't do the same for SMS and Gmail. Maybe they will eventually.

Ok, so ever since kit kat update, the stock email app has become completely useless. The drag and drop feature has been removed and now I cannot delete not move my emails.
My question is what alternatives are worth looking into. I'm dabbling with Aquamail, but it is so focused on multiple accounts that it's features are driving me crazy. Is there anything out there that can match the old stock email app or should I give up on managing my email on my tablet?

It may be good, but I'm always of the mind that if a native app does the trick without issues then why add apps that can misbehave or maybe cause battery drains. If I'm not happy with an app i look for a replacement but not if it works fine. That's just my preference.

Handcent for me. I have been using it for years. I like the customization by contact. You can have different notifications, fonts, backgrounds, sounds and vibrations for each individual. Very nice to know who texted you with customized notifications. I also like the Oops delay. You can set a lag from when you hit send until it sends.
All these features helps visually, physically and by sound who you are communicating with. Less likely to send the wrong text to the wrong person.

Sadly just using stock because at home I use WIFI calling all the time and stock is the only one that always works, all the time, with wifi calling.
But I do use SMS popup program so I get pop up notifications and a quick reply.

I won't use anything from CM these days. Not after what they did to some developers when they became Cyanogen Inc. They basically stole work of other people and left them out to dry. I used to use nothing but CM now, it's just not for me anymore.
Hangouts
I use hangouts, and love how they integrate SMS and Chats.
I had a question though, is there any way our SMSes can be integrated with Gmail Chats?
i.e. If you chat normally on Hangouts, it shows up in Chat history in my Gmail when I see in the browser.
It will be very convenient to have my SMS show up there as well, can search, copy, paste, archive and backup easily.
Anyone else with same thoughts?
Whats your best?

That's funny.
I was just searching for something to replace yahoo mail, which I've been using for a while but is always buggy.
Last night I was messing around in the play store and came up with blue mail.
It couldn't be easier to set up and so far seems like a good alternative.
I'll give it a day or two and see if I still like it.
