Hi,
I'm on ROM Batista 3.5 with a very strange and annoying problem: the menu option to change the ringtone for my Gmail accounts is missing. On my HTC Desire I simply go to Gmail-Menu-More-Settings-Notification settings- Select ringtone.
On my Galaxy S2 this menu option is completely missing. I can go to Gmail-Menu-More-Settings-(pick an account)-Notification settings, but the select ringtone and all the other E-mail notification options are just not there. I'm pretty sure I had the exact same problem on ROM Litening v5.0. Google/XDA search seems to suggest I'm the only one so far facing this problem.
The E-mail notification is now set as the sms ringtone and its' driving me nuts. Does anyone know how I can change or at least kill the E-mail ringtone (and reactivate the relevant menu options in the settings menu)? Am I totally daft and missing the menu option or is something more serious going on in my ROM?
Solved!
Apparently you have to click through to "labels to notify" to get to the settings. No idea which Korean engineer came up with that one, but at least it's solved...
I don't have that ROM or that problem, but thanks for posting the solution. No doubt someone else will have the same problem.
This problem only occurs from Gmail 2.3.5 onwards, because they changed the location of the settings.
I can not find this setting anywhere either. Been hunting for 30 minutes now.
I went to labels but I don't see anything there either. Where the heck did they hide these settings?
EDIT:
Menu -> More -> Settings
Under the account settings heading, tap your email account name.
Scroll to the bottom.
Tap Labels to notify.

total winmo noob here...can someone recommend a solid SMS/MMS notification application for the HD2? i love the notification system on my Nexus One (screen wakes up, flashing LED, name, photo, message preview). is there anything like that for the HD2? i tried searching the web but found pages of info one sent message notifications and firmware updates directly from HTC.
Hi
Have you tried SMSchat?
http://iwindowsmobile.com/threaded-sms-messaging.html
I think this have a popup notification
Hans
i havent tried that. i just browsed through the site and downloaded the users manual and i dont see any mention of popup notifications. hmmm..
Hi,
You can set notifications to show a message on the home screen when you get an sms or mms - it has who sent it and the message body. Is that what you're after?
It is in settings -> messaging -> notifications.
A CAB or BSB tweaks can turn the led on for new sms & mms's.
Regards,
Steve

Go to the settings tab, menu, all settings, sounds & notifications and change to the notifications tab. Change the event to "Message: New message" and tick "Display message on screen".
It displays the sender and message onscreen when it's received.
ahhh thank you! i totally missed the "all settings" tab! i never even saw it. thanks for the help!
this is because hd2 got 2 settings - i sense and i windows...thats why its so complicated and you literally got to dig around windows directory to find what you wanted

Hi there John. How can I have the same pop up notification for messages sent from my HD2? At the moment I am using the (very usefull) "Request delivery report" from the HD2 Settings, but it is a pain having to delete the generated message every time - otherwise my MyPhone would have double the number of SMS. Thanks for any ideas.
Hi Guys ,
I tried the method suggested which is Change the event to "Message: New message" and tick "Display message on screen".
However , when I change event to "Message : New Message" , the "Display message on screen" option is greyed out and NOT an option for me to tick/check.
Anybody know why ? I have installed Cookie Home Tab V1.7.1 on my phone. Could this be the problem ? Appreciate your advice.
greyed new message notifications!

would u please advice if u managed to sort this out? I am facing the same issue on my touchpro2, both notification options ("Display Message on screen" and "flash light for..") are greyed!!
not sure when it actually stared, as i installed WWE latest official ROM, then CHT 1.8.5 and CHT editor as well, and after that discovered that these options are not active any more!! looked in all the related forums but with no luck!
many thaaanks
S2U2
Try S2U2
It shows preview og mail and sms - and other things ;-)
many thanks jkolner for the tip
will give it a try now.. thou honetsly was hoping i can have it as it used to be, was very fine with that.. and i hope i can also restore the flashing LED option as i started missing many SMSs without it!!
for anyone who is facing a similar problem (i.e. inactive "display message on screen" or "flash light for.."), BsB Tweaks restored them - in addition to many other very useful options of course

Hum…I'm not sure this was the answer he search.
This only disable the waking screen when recieving a SMS. But he want a popup one [like popup notification on WinMo 6.1] which isn't a real SMS to delete after being notificated.
Just got a SGS II and when I'm at work I keep the phone in vibrate mode but there are no vibrate options for SMS and the Gmail app...
If I go into messaging settings the only "Notification settings" are:
Notifications - display message notification in status bar
&
Select ringtone
Same idea for Gmail app.... what am I missing here?
It's through Bell and the only modification I have done was add gingerbread keyboard... no rooting/custom roms or anything.
I searched and can't find this problem anywhere.
You have to select 'Vibration- always' option under Settings- Sound for SMS vibration.
In GMail app go to More- Settings- Account settings- Select your a/c- Notification settings- Labels to Notify- Inbox- Vibrate- and change as per your need.

under sound settings I see "General" and Vibration is set to always.
I just found the setting for gmail thanks to you but the sms I cannot find so I still can't get sms to vibrate
Hi all,
Firstly great support on here!!
I'm having an issue with my work exchange email. I get a vibrate every time i get an email.
I have it set to silent tone so there is no sound, but it still vibrates!!
I have my phone on the desk beside me at work and it's going nuts (i get a lot of emails).
The Gmail app has the option to disable vibrate and only have the notification text, which is exactly what i want for the exchange account.
Hoping someone here has a fix!
Email --> Menu --> Settings --> Select account --> Scroll down and uncheck vibrate?
Hi again watsa, fix this and I'll owe you lunch!
I don't have a vibrate option there? under the section 'Notification Settings' in the location you said i have:
Email Notifications (checked) Text says "Notify in status bar when email arrives)
and
Select Ringtone (i have this set to silent)
I don't see anything that mentions vibrate at all.

I dont have exchange email configured but gmail. I can see vibrate option in there with gmail. Try and setup gmail account in email app and see if you have that option? Else could it be new in recent firmware?
You mean you have your gmail account in the standrad email client, or in the actual Gmail app?
The gmail app has the option to disable vibrate.
I'll add gmail to the standard email client and see.
Maybe the new firmware might help.
I have gmail configured in email app
Really? I just added my gmail account to the email app.
Went to where you said and only had those other options.
I'll check after upgrade and see.
Hope it's there.
Thanks again watsa.
yes the option is definitely there on LFB. Don't remember if it was there before. Sorry you will have to update and see
Yep, its there on this firmware.
Thanks!
You can find it in settings - sounds - uncheck sound and vibrate. The only solution.

Seconded. The stock Email app uses the notification settings from the default "root" settings. It doesn't have the ability to set vibrate and sound independently. Bit of a shame, really.

It does on the latest update (LFB). You can set it seperate for each account. It is a new feature but no one responded to it when I said it.
Yep, latest firmware has individual settings.
Life saver, now my phone isn't annoying me all day.
I've noted in the Mate 10, but it's likely to be an Oreo thing, I can't seem to set a custom tone for new mail notification. In the Mate 9, it was under settings, my email address and inbox, sound and vibrate. That option is in Gmail under Oreo on the Mate 10 but the option to set a custom tone is missing...am I missing something?
No-one? Can anyone confirm what I'm seeing??
OK so I guess no-one uses Gmail?
Its changed in Oreo. Now there's a section in settings, after you click your email address called "Manage notifications". Tap on this. Then, under the section saying "Email Normal Allow these notifications to make sounds", which should be 'on', tap on this. You can set the sound in the next section.
Jeez. Not one guide on interwebs saying how to do this!
I use Gmail and cannot separate the tones from texting and gmail. I do not have the section saying "Email Normal Allow these notifications to make sounds". Anyone have a solution?
Dump the G-mail app (disable & clear data under "Apps") and install K-9 Mail. Everything's configurable (and I do mean everything!), works brilliantly, is lighter in weight than the G-mail app, and is completely free.
Here is how it is done...in the Oreo world...
Open Gmail > top left hamburger > settings > General settings > Manage notifications > Long press on the word "Mail" not the toggle itself but right on the word, and another secret, hidden, stupid, settings menu will open and it's in here where you can choose a separate tone for email as well as turn on the notification light for Gmail.
Thank you. Your solution worked well with my Huawei Mate 10 Pro in Gmail and Messanger
Couldnt find any solution to change the notification sound for twitter. Any help is welcome. I followed the same steps as mentioned above.

Sorry, don't get it. Can you make a screen dump of the location where to long press.
I need the option to select sound while editing the labels

It is exactly as I stated in my original directions...it could not be any clearer.
Once you tap on "Manage notifications" it will take you to the screen "App notifications" then you long press directly on the word MAIL which is directly under your email address.
You can also long press on the other "words" listed there for different notification settings. The words are to the left of the screen...the toggles are to the right.
Also, if you're looking to be able to set a different tone based on a label you created...I don't think that is possible.
FWIW, it Doesn't have to be a log press. just touch the mail part.
Mine says "Email" but great, it worked.

Thank you so much! I've had my Huawei P10 for almost a year and couldn't find where to add custom notification to Gmail. It's so frustrating when they do stupid ish like this because pretty much every other explanation says go to manage notification but not detailed enough to say click on title. I had the Huawei P6 and was impressed with Huawei enough to make it my go to brand but this ish frustrated me enough to consider another brand.
Well it just changes the default notification sound for me.
I could have sworn that I've changed this before, but now I cannot find the setting.
I want to change the notification sound for new messages in the Facebook Pages Manager App. I cannot find where that setting is now!
Can anyone assist? Thank you!
It driving me nuts
Looking for that too! How can I change the sounds?
I figured it out! I was having the same problem. After I updated Oreo, the notifs were changed to my default notif tone, and to make matters worse, I couldn't find how to change it anymore in the Pages Manager's own settings.
Here's where the menu went:
Go to your phone's Settings > Notifications > Find Pages Manager > Click Push Notifications > Click Sound
Viola! You can now select your custom notification sound!
