Standard mail app - notification sound - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I keep having the following problem with my Galaxy S2.
In the standard mail app, I've selected the option to make a notification in the status bar when I've got a new mail, I've selected the silent ring tone, and vibrate is on always.
The phone itself is also in silent mode.
I keep ketting a sound when I've got a new mail, and its annoyingly loud. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Only when the option to make a notification is not checked, I do not get a sound. But then there is no notification, and no orange bubble with the number of new unread mails.
Can anyone help me?
- some extra info: standard samsung rom, not rooted.

Update: I still have not found where I can turn off the sound. A new SMS makes the same noice. It is annoying as hell and I'm close to hitting the miserable piece of **** with a hammer.

extended sms notification

Hi all,
I wonder if it is possible to keep SMS notification ringing?
I had a Samsung phone before and after an incoming SMS it kept on playing the selected sound until you opened the message.
It doesn't appear that you can do this - go into StartMenu\Settings\Sounds&Notifications, select the notifications tab and change the event to "Inbox:New SMS Message". There is no option for repeat notifications like there is for the "Reminder" event.
I have selected the "flash light for: no limit" option which means the red light on the top corner of the imate will flash until you read the message - this seems to do for me.
Either that or you record a very long sound file and put that in there!!
Hope that was of some help...
Right on the spot
:lol: Well Done :lol:
At last somebody highlighted this matter and i personally would like to know is there any possiblilty to tweak with it??

Getting multiple notifications for one message?!?

So when I get a new SMS I get multiple notifications. On the status bar, I get the little yellow envelope thing AND some kind of white envelope thing and that makes my phone beep twice. This has happened since I OTA'd to JI6.
I get two vibrates and two ding sounds ._.
Any help appreciated.

You have downloaded some kind of texting app (Handcent/Chompsms/SMS popup?) from the market. Just disable notification from one of them.
I haven't downloaded any of those In my settings, there's an option for notification, but I can turn the notification sound to "silent" but it still double vibrates + shows an extra icon at the top. In the SMS app, there's ALSO another notification setting. I want to use the SMS' app's notification because its not accurate.
Did you download a messaging widget?
I still haven't solved the problem, and no I didn't download a messaging widget =[
Have You tried disabling the notifications in the stock messaging app? what happens?
My wifes phone is doing this also. Hancent and stock set to silent, but still getting a ring and a envelope icon that takes you to the stock message app. Fail. We have the same apps, but mine is fine
"Supersonicly swyped while on the the pot at your moms house. "
Fixed it. Uninstall beautiful widget pack 2
"Supersonicly swyped while on the the pot at your moms house. "
Thank you!!!! I had the same problem and it was driving me mad for months!!! I thought it was CM6 doing it this whole time because I just couldn't figure out what was doing it after I disabled notifications in every sms app.....stupid widgets lmao

[Q] CyanogenMod7-Notifications

Running CM7 (SGSII ATT)
I cannot seem to find how to make my phone vibrate when I recieve a text message, or have the message notification display on top of apps when I'm in a other app. (e.g. the only way for me to see if I have a message is to go back to the desktop)
Any help here would be appreciated.
Has anybody figured out how to get the notifications to beep while on call?

Chomp SMS not making phone vibrate or make screen come alive

I have just installed Chomp SMS on my samsung s2 running andyx v12 rom, its my first time using a different sms app and i do really like chomp a lot and would like to keep it, on my phone i have 2 issues though.
1. in the notifications settings i have notifications ticked and i have vibrate set to always vibrate. The problem i am having is when i get a text, i get the status bar notification but my phone doesnt vibrate at all which i have always relied on a lot when at work etc..
2. also in the notification settings there an option for screen comes on which i have ticked, it says that if the phone is off, it will come alive breifly when i get a text, but my phone isnt doing that either.
When i used the stock sms all these things worked, i have turned notifications off on my stock sms as i had read this was best so you dont get 2 notifications.
in my system settings vibrate is also set to on for notifications etc..
does anyone know what could be the issue, or are my above questions actually just the way chomp works?
thanks
james

[Q] Separate notification sound for text message?

I hate that every notification except email has the same sound. How can I change so that text messages have their own notification? Right now text messages and all other random notifications share the same ringtone so I never know if I got a text message or something else.

It doesn't work. If you change it, it changes it for all notifications. Not just texts.
I just figured it out.

I had been looking for this setting for days now and I just stumbled upon it. When you are editing a contact go to the bottom of the contacts information and hit the "ADD ANOTHER FIELD" button. There you will see the ability to add the "Message Tone" field as well as specify a "Vibration Pattern" if wanted. Not sure why they didn't put the Message Tone option on the contact by default.

Mind blow.
Dude, just set any ringtone for notifications via phone settings - it'l be your sms ringtone AND for any other applications having opportunity to create notifications you should open those applications, go their settings and find there option notifications and change notifications sound directly for that application. Logic!
Binrob, I get what you are after because I did a google search for the very same thing. No one here seems to get it.
What happens is all these other apps utilize the same NOTIFICATION sound as your text messages (like Facebook, or playing back-and-forth board games). Binrob and the rest of us want our TEXT messages TO BE DIFFERENT sounding than all the others. I don't want to look at my phone every time i get a notification, but i do want to look at my phone every time someone texts me. There doesn't seem to be a way to customize SMS/TEXT to its own notification sound. Android needs to fix this.
You've answered everyone's question! This should show up #1 on Google search!

Has there been updates since to change to separate notification for all contacts?
I get this issue and NEED them to fix as well! I don't want fb messenger and text messaging and any other notification to have the same sound. I want to know what app the notification is for WITHOUT unlocking and looking at my phone. Also, on my s5 I was able to change my led color for specific apps. If it blinking red I knew it was a text. Blinking green fb message. Blinking blue fb notification. Etc! Please add those back!
You CAN set the sound for messages, go to settings, notifications, advanced ......... choose messages, more settings (at the bottom of the screen), and the next screen is where you change the sound that is made. Not exactly user friendly though!
I think the answer is as simple.as: go to your message app, top right hit: more, Then go to settings and set whatever ringtone you want to have under notifications. I guess this should be what you are looking for.

notificaton tone in message+
The comment that you can set message tones In contacts is correct except that apps like message+ , at least on the Galaxy , ignore that and use their own tones
I just found it....
open messages on the right top corner click there and pick customize ando under tones and there u can pick whatever ringtone for only SMS....
FOR SAMSUNG S9/S9+. To have a specific sound for you messages, go to messaging app/setting/notifications/general notications must be off/emergency alerts must be off. Go to new messages and choose your preferred sounds.
