Is there a manual method to change notification sounds? Like a prop edit, or other change? I want to set individual sounds (email, sms, alarm, etc...), but the Sense 3.0 version I'm using only has a single setting for all notification sounds.

most apps with a notification feature will let you set a unique notification sound within their settings menu (I know Gmail, stock SMS, Facebook, G+ and at least my alarm program do this)
Yeah, I got sms and alarms figured, but there's no way to set an email notification sound.

which email app are you using? it's possible with the gmail app, it's just kind of hidden
go to settings --> account settings --> (select the account you want to change, if you only have one account it will be the only one listed) --> labels to notify (at the bottom of the list) --> (select the label you want to set a notification sound for)
I have one personal and two work accounts synced to my phone, with different labels synced for each account, and different notification sounds for each label. honestly...it's maybe more confusing than useful at times ("was that the ringer for my personal priority inbox or my secondary work account's receipts label?") but it's possible.
then again it might not work that way for other email apps, I wouldn't know!
Thanks for that, but I use the stock email app, as I have both a gmail and Comcast account, and I don't want to have to open two different apps to read email.

aha - in that case, I have no idea.
I suppose you could forward your Comcast emails to your Gmail account if you're really desperate for different sounds, but that might be more of a pain than it's worth too.

Newbie here, I searched but sorry if this has come up before.
The 3d is my first Android phone - came from Palm Pre minus hell.
How on Earth do you turn off the sound and LED notification of every email / SMS / etc?
I've got the notifications turned off in the Mail app for each of my two accounts, but still get the BLLLIP every frickin' couple minutes.
Thanks!

use volume-down until it's on vibrate
you configure notifications from a given app from the app itself. so when you're in the main scene of an app, hit the menu key & look for Settings>Notifications.

Thanks, but I've already done that. Still get the notifications.
Calendar
I've also noticed that you can't turn on notifications but have vibrate off for the calendar events. I think this is a sense 3.0 thing, as you could do it on the EVO 4G and could do it in some custom sense 2.1 ROMs I ran. Kingdom ROM (sense 3.0) had the same issue. Wish they'd put that back in.
If you're using Gmail under settings there is an option that will only notify you once for unread emails. Once you check your mail and get new messages it'll notify once again for the next new message until you check it.
As for SMS the default app either notifies you on each app or none at all. I checked Go SMS Pro but they don't have an option that only notifies you once like Gmail does.
Edit: I had the Pre minus too, and in Android the main thing is that you use the menu button pretty much the same way in the Pre you hit the upper left corner to get the programs menu.
Thanks
Well, I'm either dumber than usual, or something is wrong.
On the page in Mail settings under "Notifications", "Email Notifications" is un-checked and set to "Off". Still get the frickin' bleep an flashing green LED on every single email.
Not sure what else I can do.
Do you have a gmail or other account. If it's a gmail account when you setup your phone by default your gmail is in the gmail app. If you setup your gmail account in the email app remove it from there and only deal with it in one place which the gmail app is the best place for it.

Aha! I was using an app labeled "Mail" which was on the first page of the home screen (or whatever the proper term is), NOT the "Gmail" app . The Gmail app also has Notification settings. How confusing.
That took care of it. Thanks a bunch!
I feel strange asking a stock question here, because I've always come here for rom issues, but I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
I am trying to set my gmail app to display my notifications, which it does, but not play any sounds. I want this happen independently from all my other apps and notifications. I've discovered the sounds tab in personalize, but unlike cyanogenmod that I was running on my incredible, there is no (silent) option. At this point, I've tested changing "Email" sound and it didn't have an impact on what played when I received an email.
...what am I missing with this new version of sense?

In gmail, press the menu key, and press more. Hit settings, and then tap your account. Scroll down to notification settings and click Labels to notify.Then inbox. Then ringtone, and silent should be in there. Hope this helps
... I just added my second gmail account. I'm even more confused now. At this point I have a google account that my phone was set up with and a gmail account that my second account is synced with. It seems that one is set up as a gmail and the original as a google account... Wtf is the difference? And since the gmail account (the second one) isn't seen by the gmail app, but instead by the mail app... What am I supposed to use. Any clarification would be awesome.

In the Mail app, go to more>settings>notification settings. Then turn off email notifications. Then in the gmail app, go into more>settings, and under account settings, click the account you want. If it is not there, add it with the add account button. Then, scroll down to notification settings, and click label notifications>inbox>ringtone>silent
I feel so stupid. Now I remember going through all this when I set it all up before. I think I just thrown for a loop with te option to set up a google account or a gmail account... Where the gmail account used mail app, not the gmail app, but uses a gmail notification icon where the gmail pp uses the stock mail notification icon. I love this phone. I am a die hard HTC fan, but only the hardware. I know ice cream sandwich is going to hit the rezound, but a they going to skin it with sense 4.0? I'd love the option from a manufacturer instead of having to root it and throw ROMs at it.
Thanks again guys for pointing out the obvious. Don't suppose ere is a equally simple way to set the notification icon to the red gmail icon is there?

Not without root. That is trademark to the Mail app. Glad you got your problem fixed
Might be something simple I'm missing - but is there a way to automatically dismiss email notifications? For example:
I'm using Enhanced Email - Combined inbox. I have a couple email accounts (exchange + gmail). Let's say I get an email in both accounts at the same time. If I tap a notification for gmail, it takes me to the EE combined inbox. I then deal with both messages. The annoying thing is the notification for the exchange email I received stays in the notification bar.
Is there any way to clear those automatically when I check my email instead of having to go to the notification panel and clear them manually?
Open up the stock email app and go to settings. Scroll down shot 2/3 of the way disband make sure that Email Notifications is not checked. Would advise going to through the gmail app and checking the same.

Yea, I tried that too. These notifications all come from EE. The only email app I use is EE, and no matter which notification I open it takes me to EE. Problem is the notification bar doesn't equate opening one account as really taking care of both notifications at once.

Sounds like an issue with the app, email the dev.
Excuse my silly question but I just configured my email accounts for the first time on SGS3 and noticed a big difference compared to my DHD with GB 2.3.5.
Question 1:
I use 2 IMAP accounts and on my DHD I had options for peak time and off peak time. Here I only had 1 option for sync. For hotmail it gave me all options for peak and off peak.
Also, the smart alert, shouldn't notify me for emails or is it just for missed calls and SMSs?
Question 2:
Samsung service & apps: are they actually necessary if you use google service? I mean, my contacts and calendar are saved on google and synced back every time I restore my phone. Yes, Samsung says that it backs up settings as well but whenever I sync, it's in trouble. So does it work yet or not. It reminds me now of HTCSense which never worked. So is there any additional benefit from this? also, any benefit from the other Samsung apps? (i.e. the Samsung Apps is similar to market but what do we need it if we can still get the same apps from Play Storer?)
Settings --> Motion --? Smart Alert (it says that for "missed calls and messages")
I think you do not have peak on/off in default email app. use another email client from market.
Samsung apps is useful as there are many samsung phone specefic apps on it that are not on play store e.g. photo editor, video editor, task manager widget etc
Thanks!
Hi. I am looking for an app whereby I can set alarms based on calendar entries.
At the moment I am having to use multiple apps, and I am still not quite where I need to be.
The problem is I work shifts, but those shifts can change on a daily basis.
Add to that that I use a profile manager to put my phone in silent mode at night so that every email, facebook, text, etc... doesn't keep me and (more importantly) my wife awake. And during calendar events it is set to vibrate.
This necessitates a whitelist for phone numbers obviously.
The problem I have is with reminders. I have apps to configure them and treat them more like alarms with longer ringing etc... If I could configure the profile to change 1/2 an hour before an event, it would help.
Unfortunately, calendar reminders rely on the "media" volume slider, whereas the alarm volume seems to be independent of this. What this means is with the phone in silent, calendar reminders do not sound, but with media turned up many other apps sound at night.
So is there anyway of setting an alarm instead of reminder, or converting reminders to alarms?
Cheers/
The Google Calendar app can do just that.
About the phone calls, maybe you can set times when the calls are blocked?

Your missing the point I think (or I am missing something in Google Calendar)
I don't want to block calls, I want certain numbers to be able to contact me even when the phone is in silent mode (i.e. work when I oversleep!)
The problem with the calendar reminders is that they are aligned with the media volume. If I turn the media volume up in silent mode, then all sorts of other apps that send me notifications will wake me up.
This is why I need to be able to set an alarm, NOT a reminder - as the alarms appear to work independently of the media volume.
I am happy with my call whitelisting ATM, so it is a case of finding an app that
Whitelists reminders
Sets alarms instead of reminders
or Converts reminders.
Regards, Jon.
I know this is an old thread, but there is now an App that does what I wanted when I asked this question.
