unchangable notification tone

Hi there..
I have the t-mobile G2 TOUCH, hero that is, and I cant seem to find out how I could change the ringtone for my notifications.
The thing is. When I change it like it should normaly work, it keeps on giving me the lousy and way to loud t-mobile notification sound.
when i receive a mail it does give the chosen sound, but when i receive a text message it gives me the **** t-mobile tone again.
I did i guess everything i could (to getting the maps on the root for ringtone, alarm and notifications. I can see the files, but like i said before, i only hear them on my email receiving and not my text messages.
anyone familiar with this problem and if so, got an answer, or should i go back to the store and swap the fone now it is still possible...
thnx
The message tone is different to the notification tone. Go to messages - menu - settings - sound and change it there.
you most definetly are my hero
alsmost returned the poor thing haha
i never guessed that nor would i have found that one!
many thanks
Your welcome

[Q] Help with GO SMS App

I've been using Go Sms on my Tbolt, since the stock sms is a bit annoying. Sometimes when I don't have signal right when I hit send, I get a notification that WILL NOT go away without restarting the phone. It says something similar to 'currently unable to send your message. will attempt to send the message when the service is available' ..it's getting very very annoying. I know it's the app because one day I got fed up and uninstalled it, and the minute I hit uninstall.. it went away. I hate it because sometimes I can't see what's going on because the notification is at the bottom of the screen. I've emailed the developer for the app and no response. I've posted questions on HTC's Facebook page, I've asked the question in Yahoo answers, and I get nothing. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm getting so fed up with it that I just don't even text anyone anymore. I really really hope someone can help me with this.
not trying to be ignorant but why is that an issue? if it is telling you your text is not being sent, wouldn't you want to know that?
There is an option to disable outgoing message notifications. Have you tried unchecking that in the settings?
Not really a solution to your problem but I use handcent and its pretty decent.

Well, the problem is...the notification will never go away, even sometimes after the message sends. I've also went and looked in the application settings to see if there's anything causing it, and there's not. My boyfriend's Incredible doesn't do it and his settings are the same. I've tried Handcent and I don't like it. Oh well. I honestly don't know what it is. We finally complained enough to Verizon about our poor signal at home, so they're sending us a Network Extender and they took $50 off the price. We'll see if that helps.

[Q] A couple problems: LED notification and double text?

First of all the LED notification. I don't understand this thing. It goes off whenever it wants... I went to settings and put it on "SMS/MMS" only and it still goes off when I don't even have a text or message. And then when I get a text it goes off which is what it's suppose to do. But when I get the text, tap it, and read it; I now have no unread texts but it continues to blink... It has just became an LED that flashes to me whenever it wants to. I wish it would say why it is flashing or what notification is making it flash. Any help?
Second problem is the double text I get from people. This is getting really annoying. Is there an update or fix for this?
HTC Amaze 4G all stock. Bought from T-Mobile new in March.
anyone?
Take it back to tmobile

Were these still being sold by t-mobile in march?
You say all stock, but are you sure you aren't using any apps to do with sms? Handcent, gosms, something? If you get a third party sms app and don't disable notification in the stock app, then it won't stop flashing till you check THOSE notifications.
If you have google talk, google voice, skype-- so many of those have an sms function that could make the led go off. If you have those and don't use them, go into the setting of the app and turn off sync and notification.
Or if you are feeling daring you can always upgrade to ICS - I know most of us are using ice cream sandwich right now, so it will be hard for any of us to give you an answer to an issue on gingerbread.. if you find a thread for upgrading to ICS with s-on you'll see you don't have to root, unlock bootloader, or any of the other things people are scared of doing- you just download the leaked RUU, rename it and put it on external sdcard, reboot into bootloader and it does everything for you(if you do this I recommend backing up everything, I think it wipes the whole phone). There is no more risk to it than there would be when tmobile eventually pushes the update to your phone.
Hope something here is helpful for you

Delivery Reports

On the original Incredible, the SMS and MMS Delivery Report option on the stock app requested a receipt when your recipient received the message, and silently updated your message with a checkmark when they received it. However, on the Inc 4G, it abruptly vibrates and plays my notification sound when the report is received. I've tried changing all the different settings about vibrating and notifications, while still leaving Delivery Reports on, and either it turns off all notifications and vibrating or it's still there.
So, the question is has anyone tested around specific settings to prevent getting the obnoxious notification rather than the silent update with enabled delivery reports with the stock messaging app? It's not something absolutely necessary to keep it on, just something I prefer.
I had the same issue and just couldn't figure it out. I wound up just turning off the request delivery report option since it was so annoying getting the full notification. It does at least still let you know if there was a failure. But yeah... WTF??
It seems like they basically ruined that functionality.

Yeah, pretty much. I turned it off soon after I made that post. I couldn't stand getting a text immediately following sending one every single time.

Lumia 800 won't list received or sent test messages after strange power off

[Q]
I have a really weird and annoying problem with my Lumia 800.
Pretty much it starts with this:
The phone totally random powers off, it wont start until i put the charger in (even if the battery really is at 40% or more).
After that whenever I receive a text message (sms and mms) it won't be listed in the messaging conversation.
I only see the last sms I sent/got after the phone powered off, new messages is listed in the notification window, but only there. Sending new messages works, but they won't either be listed..
So I can't really read my new texts other than in the notification window that pops up when I get a new one...
Deleting all my messages doesn't solve it, restarting the phone doesn't either.
This is the second time in a month it has happened.
The only thing that seems to fix it is doing a reset of the phone.. I really don't want to have to do this again.
Please help me, I can't find anyone with the same problem on the interwebz either.
I am in the same boat, my sister gave me her lumia 800 saying her sms was not showing. I tried sending the word "test" via sms and I get the popup on her phone. I then go to messages but its not there. After looking through the phone I noticed both her date and time was wrong. Setting this agin seems to have solved the problem
