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.
Regards.

Hello guys!
I installed Handcent sms and even I stopped default sms notification and forced stop to the default client itself, I still receive two sms notifications on status bar. Had to disable the one notification supported by Handcent and now is only the default one on which when I click- the Handcent client appears. Once I quit from Handcent, the icon is still on status bar, altough I've read the sms and have to close it via "close notifications" button...very annoying..
How to get rid the default sms notification?
Open "Messages"
Click MENU
Select SETUP
Uncheck "Notifications" - scroll down
Enable HANDCENT notification
You should now get only 1 notification

That was exactly what I did and still get two notifications..
Go to settings >apps >manage apps> messages > force stop!
Go into the default Messages app and make sure to disable Auto-retrieve (this will also help improve battery life)
Not the notification tone, the sms tone.
In froyo you could hit the menu button within the sms app and it would have a "settings" option in which you could set a custom sms tone separate from the notification or ringtone. The option is not available in CM7.
Any help?
If you go into settings in the messaging app and change the notification sound there it only applies to the sms app.
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.

Thanks for this...I to was gong nuts trying to find it after flashing 2.3.5 rom!
I've set up my company email using the phone's default email client.
Last night few emails arrived around 3 am and my S3 almost gave me a heart attack with the sound notification.
How do I disable email sound notification?
Thanks

Unfortunately, I think the only way is to disable notification sound altogether.
menu > settings > sound > volume > default notifications > silent
Or
Use a 3rd party email client.
This puzzled me for ages as I couldn't find where to change the email app ringtone, but this is how I did it:
Settings
Accounts and Sync
Tap on the account (mine is Hotmail)
Settings
Tap on (for me) Hotmail
Notification Settings -> Select Ringtone
Silent

I actually had a look there earlier but missed the notification settings...
Huraaah, I no longer have to listed to that annoying default email sound!!
You are most welcome, I know how annoying it is and only found this by accident, it's hardly the most obvious way to change a notification.
There are several apps that you can use that support sound profiles.
I use phoneweaver. It does a lot more but I use it primarily for sound. I have several sound profiles setup:
one for the car - all volume all the way up
one for everyday use - volume about 50%
nighttime - volume totally off during certain hours (good for your case, phone ringer still active in case an emergency phone call comes in.)
silent - puts phone on vibrate completely
Does this work for you? I have Bedside because I need to be able to get calls at night but email notifications keep waking me up. I used to be able to silence notifications on my Droid Incredible.
Does anyone know if Tasker (I haven't used before) or Llama (same) would be able to control the set up listed above:
Settings
Accounts and Sync
Tap on the account (mine is Hotmail)
Settings
Tap on (for me) Hotmail
Notification Settings -> Select Ringtone
Silent
To do this at night and then turn it back on in the morning? I like getting email notifications during the day, but I can't find a program that keeps the ringer on and the notifications off at night.

Can you suggest a 3rd party email client that allows notifications to be silent?

How do you turn email notification sounds ON?
Hi. In searching for a way to turn on email notification sounds, I wound up here at this forum talking about turning email audio notifications OFF. I have a Galaxy Note 2, unlocked bootloader, running the standard unlocked ROM from Adam's unlock method. By default, my phone does not vibrate or sound off an audio alert when emails come in. They just show up in my notifications bar, and the notification LED flashes blue. So the only way for me to know a new email has arrived is to happen to look at the flashing blue LED.
Within the email app general preference settings I have "Vibrate" checked, and a ring tone selected under "Select ringtone".
Within the sound settings of the device, I have a ring tone selected for each of, "Device ringtone" and "Default notifications", and I also checked off "Sound and vibration"
Within the volume settings of the device, nothing is turned to silent ("Music, video, games, and other media", "Ringtone", "Notifications", and "System")
Within the Application manager settings, Email, there are no options to do anything about sound or notifications. All it shows is, "Force stop," "Disable," "Clear data," "Clear cache".
Thanks.
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.
