I am having an issue where the notification tone i have set will only play for new gmail. Exchange emails play the 'Alpha' tone. Anyone else having this issue?
Having the same problem here. I changed the default notification sound under sound settings to "bubble" and my active exchange account still plays alpha. There is no setting within the exchange account to set a custom tone.
ok, glad its not just me. Hopefully fixed in the next OTA
From the main screen press the personalize button (lower right), select "Notification sound", and set your email notification tone from there. It should work - I think this is new in Sense 3.0 (I initially discovered this using MikG's rom for my Evo 4g works on my 3d).

You are a legend sir... Thank you so much!
i am running senselssrom 2.1 so the "personalize" function is stripped out because of the lack of sense, so this is not an option for me. so i have to change the notification sound by going to Settings>Sound>Notification Sound, but this still plays the "Alpha" sound. all other notification sounds are easily changed, but i can't figure out why this one won't work. i haven't had any luck and any help would be greatly appreciated.

you'll need to fire up sense for this as far as i know. Not sure if there is any other way.
i thought about doing that but it doesn't quite make sense (no pun intended) because this is the exact same way that i change the phone's ringtone and that works. if i was unable to change the ringtone, i would completely agree, but i can change that freely just not the exchange email notification sound.

I am trying to assign a new "mail" sound to a soundset but It only gives you an option to listen to it along with other notifications. Does anyone know how to edit that?
Use root explorer and drop the new files you would like to use in the appropriate folder in /system/media/audio
I wonder why I can change the ringtone and notification but not email sound? The thunderbolt is like an iPhone it doesnt allow you to change the email sound
What email app are you using? You should be able to open setting inside the app and then change it from there... as in for gmail, open gmail, menu, more, settings, select ringtone. if you copied the ringtone you want in the folder i posted above it should show up in there now.
Stock email app syncing with exchange. When I click on menu, settings, notification settings I only get checkmarks for "email notifications" Notification sounds" and Notification Vibrate"
There is no option to choose a sound.
Tried to do this last night and it took me a while. I kept looking under the email settings and Sound but couldn't find it. You have to go through Personalize:
Settings--->Personalize---> Notification Sound
From there you can change Message, Calendar and Email.
I don't use that one but i believe that it using the default notification sound. Place your file in /system/media/audio/notifications and then reboot your phone. Go into settings, notifications and you should see the new tones listed.

Ha. I had set it up when I first got the phone. I added some CM7 notifications last night and for the life of me couldn't figure out how to set them again. I kept looking in email settings and Setting->Sound thinking I was crazy.

I use K9 Mail and it lets me change the sound to what ever you want.
Since I can't post in the thread on the Developers section yet, does anybody have an issue where no matter which Notification sound you select, it will only play a certain one (as in, it never changes, even if you change it in the notification sound setting)??
I have it set to play "Pursuit" but it keeps playing "Gamma"...

Actually it's a good thing you posted in here. This is where it would belong not in dev. I notice sometimes this happens randomly. When I reboot it goes away.
I just did a reboot and sent a text from my fiance's phone and it still didn't play the right notification. This is the first "issue" I've had with a dasbamf ROM.
Got it fixed. In addition to setting the notification tone within the Sounds menu in Settings, I had to set it in the Notifications section of the Personalization menu.

Hmm, I'll try to look into this later this week (going out tonight), but I do recall that notification tones for email seem to not work. However I may have just not heard it.
SMS and Google Talk notifications do work normally for me, same for ringtone.
My SMS and email notifications wont change for me either.. I change it in sound menu and still get that annoying "whistle" with every text!!
BTW I'm stock..

Ive noticed that you have to change the notification ringtone on the SMS application separate from the general notification ringtone in settings. Access this by hitting the menu key while in SMS app. I believe email notification tone would be accessed the same way.
This is correct. I did the same thing and now my notification sounds are as customized

This is the same as the Captivate (stock roms) -- you have to be in the application (messaging, email, gmail, etc) and change notification tones there.

thanks a lot guys..
i did notice this morning I heard her notification message was saying her new one.. however, i noticed that it was only when email was coming in, the text was still the whistle.. so I will go in and try to change as stated above and see how this goes.. again thanks.
this also helps as a friend and his wife still have the captivates and his wife had this same issue and it was "HIGHLY PISSING" her off so much she wants to get rid of it and get one of those ancient "phone" only type phones hehe

edit:
confirmed.. does work. for some odd reason, you go into text/sms app and when you go to settings, sure as s*!t it is set to default as the "whistle" ringtone and not default in which I would think it would default to what ever you set as the standard notification one.. going into gmail and it stocks to default.. so thanks again, working for her now..
Another 'gotcha' for ring tones if you point your ring tones at the internal SD/ external SD and then use usb storage mode to attach those drives, you'll get some sort of weird notification sound that's not any of the normal ones if a notification arrives while it's mounted.
Hi
Love the S3
However, i cannot for the life of me figure out how to disable vibration when recieving a mail on my exchange account...
I have my phone set to vibrate only all the time, and i want it to vibrate only when recieving a call or a text...
However it always vibrates when recieving exchange mail! It does NOT vibrate when recieving gmail... If i switch off the exchange tray notification it does NOT vibrate. However i want the tray/led notification, but no vibration... Im 99% sure this is how it is on SGSII, Galaxy Nexus and so on...
Any ideas?
Under settings vibrate somewhere there is a setting for auto vibrate/auto haptic.
Check if it's active for the exchange app. You can either disable it for only exchange or disable the feature altogether.
I'm imagining it's not a small oversight by you about forgetting to untick vibrate alert in the exchange mail app itself.

No auto haptic is disabled, otherwise everthing will vibrate
Notifications are set to silent..
There are no option to select vibrate or not in the e-mail app...

I don't know if this will work, I only just flipped it myself:
In the file /data/data/com.android.email/shared_prefs/AndroidMail.Main.xml, I've set the line <boolean name="<UUID>.vibrate" value="false" />. Before it was true. The <UUID> is a (surprise) UUID, that I'm guessing identifies the account; a guess that other lines in the file seems to support.
Try it out. It might work. When I find out either way, I'll post back, but I wanted to share my findings ASAP.
EDIT: You need root for this to work, obviously. Those files are protected against fiddling from the regular user.
Hmm i think you have a point.. There are quite a bit of references to vibrate ,including one set to "always" in the files in that folder, which i set to "never"... I edited around a bit with root explorer, which creates a .bak file, but the changes seem to be reverted when rebooted, and the .bak files are deleted as well...
I hardly have time now, but over the weekend i will mess around with it a bit...

Hmm, no dice. The setting that seems to be the right one, which is in com.android.email_preferences.xml and called <string name="account_settings_vibrate_when">always</string> can be set to "never", but whenever I enter the settings screen from the phone, it reverts back to 'always'.
I have also fiddled around in the database files, thinking that maybe the xml got overridden from a database value, but no dice.
I have found a work around temporarily before they update the software with a more discrete management of vibration in different notifications.
Under settings - sounds - vibration intensity you can set the notification vibration to nil.
I primarily use this for it to only vibrate when phone call comes and all other notification i only want sound and no vibration.

Problem is that also turns off vibration for texts/SMS'es, and I don't want that (turns out BTW that the stock Samsung SMS-app also lacks a vibration option in its notification settings... a trend?). It sucks balls.

Yay! After the latest Samsung firmware update (I9300XXBLFB), a 'Vibrate' checkbox has appeared in the settings for the email app. Sadly, still nothing in the SMS app. But it's a start.

Hi all
I upgraded my S3 to Android 4.0.4 yesterday on Rogers in Canada and it's running even better.
The only issue I noticed is regarding the vibration notification form the native email app. I used to not get notified when I was on a call and an email comes through. Now, it vibrates every time i get an email while on a call. i did find the setting in the email app to remove the vibration notification but it removes it completely even when not on a call and also when it's in vibrate mode??
for Gmail it's working well, only get a silent status bar notification which is what I want.
does anyone experience the same? let me know what I should do. it's frustrating to get that vibrating noise while on a call. i did try the kill the duck app but it didn't work....
Thanks

Thanks... but already have tried that. It works for all apps except for the native email app. Seems that after the update to Android 4.0.4, after they've added the vibration notification option, it seems to override all other vibrate notifications.
So for instance if i tick off that option in the native email app settings... and my phone is on vibrate, i won't get the vibe notification. and if i have it on, it will always be on, even while on a call....
So I only need a solution to suppress it while on a call... tried some apps like kill the duck and it still didn't work....
Help!

Well, since that option didn't work, one solution is Tasker. It'll give you (among a sh*tload of other stuff) the ability to define a context, e.g. 'Call in progress' and then set 'Vibrate on Notify: Off' while that context is true.
It's got a GAZILLION more possibilities, and the learning curve may seem a bit steep. And it's a pay-app. But it's worth every last penny, if you ask me.
Check it out.

Apart from Tasker, is there anything else out there? 4.99$ for an app to simply disable the email vibrate notification on a call is not the ideal solution....

Well, there are other similar apps, like Locale or Settings Profile. Some of them have "Lite" or "Free" versions that may or may not work. All of them are general purpose context/setting apps, though. I don't know of any, except that Duck app you mentioned, which didn't work, that do just what you want. Sorry.
On a side note, Tasker has a 7-day trial version on their home page.
Does anyone know of a way to change the Notification Sound for a contact individually? I know I can change the sound on the SMS app, but all of my contacts will play the same sound when I get a text. This was an issue on the LG G2 for Verizon also. I like the standard messaging app and would rather not install a 3rd party app. Any ideas would be awesome. Thanks.
As far as I'm aware, if you go in to your contacts and click edit or whatever, there should be an option to change the notification sound for that contact specifically. Hope I helped! Let me know if it works for you!

The only other option that comes up besides "Ringtone" is "Notification LED". Other than that I cannot find an option to change the notification sound.

Thanks for the reply. I know I can change the notification sound that way, but the problem with that is it will still have the same sound for all contacts. I want to change the SMS sounds on an individual contact bases thanks for the suggestion though.

The only way is to download a third party app..If you use the verizon one it will let you set up separate ones however when the thread is deleted so is the setting for that person.. Hoping they fix this..
