[Q] Notification sound for Emails - UNable to change - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey ...
Just wondering how to change the notification sound for emails.. when i change the notification sound in the sounds section, its applicable only for sms etc etc...and not for the email..i could change it in s2 and note but unable to do it in s3...its the same 'tring' sound always...

Look in the settings of the email app you are using. You can often set custom tones there. For instance, I have a custom tone set for my gmail accounts. Granted, the setting is in each individual accounts settings, not the general settings. You should be able to do this for most apps. I have my notification sound set as silent, but I set one in my messages app, in gmail and in calendar, all different from each other.

how to get a ringtone for EMAIL???

i want to realease a ringtone for email notification without changing the sound notification :s im novice...thers is no registry in Android?
notifications for individual apps are set within their respective app settings. so open up ya app (email) and hit menu to open up the settings. in there u can set your custom tone.
Shouldn't this be in the Hero General forum and not the Hero Android Development forum since it has nothing to do with the latter?

someone please move this to the right forum....
but yeah, the HTC Mail application uses just the standard notification. so you set the one for emails in settings > sounds and display > notification ringtone
then for the other apps that you CAN set separate tones, you do them individually.
moved to Q&A
Hope this helps
best way is:
for Exchange/pop3 HTC mail set Notification Tone in Settings - Sound and Display
for sms set the tone in Messaging
for gmail obviously in Gmail

Set up personal sms tone

Hi Guys,
I have been using Ringdroid for a while now...this app is real good. I have added my personal ringtones to my contacts and notifications.
Everything is working except sms tone. Everytime i get a sms same system alert plays. Have i done something wrong? What setting do you have to change to put your own sms tone??
Thanks for help
Go to messages - menu - settings - change it there, the sms tone is different to the notification tone.
Thanks alot...It is not long time since i had my first android phone...so still trying to catch up!!

can I set a custom ringtone for text messages

ok my first Atrix I could do it. I can not find where to do it. It is only showing my the regular tones. What am I missing? Where can I put a custom ringtone for text message. I am using the standard text with the phone.
Thanks

Here's how I do it:
Install GO SMS
Set the default notification sound in Settings (Android NOT GO SMS) which will be your email notification sound now.
Turn off notifications in the stock Text Message app
In GO SMS set the notification sound to whatever you like.
This way you have one sound for email and another for text messages.

[Q] Different Notification Sounds for Individal Contacts (Texts)

Hi,
Is there a way to set different text message notification sounds for different contacts? I'm not referring to ringtones. Using the same notification sound for all text messages makes each incoming text a priority to check. Coming from a Note II I was able to assign distinct notification sounds for all contacts (ringtones and text messages).
Thanks.

You might need to download a different text message app on the play store to do that. I don't think you can do that on stock ones

You can do that with GoSMS Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms
Thank you for the responses.

I use an app called Ringo for ringtone and message tone management.

iirc Hangouts now has that option to have individual ringtones for messages received
either that, or you can use LightFlow, it enables you to set custom notifications (and LED colors) for many apps
Xposed also has a mod for that ($-ware)

Notification settings not available for separate apps

Hi all, one thing bothering me is the inability to set individual notification sounds, I have discovered how to do it for email but I cannot set individual sounds for other apps, so my Facebook, text etc are all the same, it's annoying me. Is there any way to change this, either a setting I don't know about or a good free app.
Many thanks
