Hi
I use my calendar a lot and have my G2 synced with my Google Calendar. Although (thanks partly to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542151) I have been able to customise the sounds for email and sms alerts and ring tones, I am actually trying to use an on board one for the calendar. I go to 'Calendar/Settings/Reminders/Reminder sounds' and have tried choosing 'color' and also previously a custom tone. Unfortunately, whilst I have a custom default alert sound (in general settings) and 'color' selected in the calendar as above, all my calendar alerts still go off with the T-Mobile default sound. The T-Mobile sound is extremely loud and jarring so as a heavy calendar user I am keen to fix it. Can anyone advise a fix?
i get the same - all other reminders are changed to other tones - just not the calendar. does anyone else on a T-mobile G2 have the same issue ?.
Regards
If you change the sound in calendars it defaults back to t-mobile.
To work round it, in calendar settings select individual calendars instead of all calendars and it lets you change the sounds as you want to.
I know its weird but it works
That's worked! Thanks Cydat! Bit of a poorly implemented interface feature though.
Hi,
I just got a Samsung Vibrant and I'm having trouble selecting an mp3 as a default tone for the calendar reminder. Here is what I've been doing step by step:
calendar - create - then I set up all the details (location, etc) and click on "Alarm" to set the Alarm and then "Alarm Tone" to try to select the mp3 but I can only select from a a pre-selected sounds list. I have 2 questions:
- Can I select an mp3 as my alarm tone?
- Can I set an mp3 as a DEFAULT alarm tone so that I don't have to do the same thing for ALL my calendar events? (I have A LOT of them)
I have found an app that does exactly what I want, so I'm thinking this is not a native function on the android calendar called Calendar Event Reminder (cannot post link here). I find this weir though because this is a simply function that even lower end smartphones have.
cheers

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.

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.
Galaxy S II T-Mobile.
To have no vibrate, ring only on calls
and
to have no sound, vibrate only on messages,
where and how can this combo be selected in Settings?
Which version of Android?
Usually, in 'Settings - Sound Settings' you can adjust call ringing,
and in the 'Messaging app - Settings' you can adjust message alert.

Android 4.0.4 Galaxy S2 T-mobile default.
There is a "sound and vibration" checkbox for both Phone Ringtone AND Notifications.
The question is for separate setting for each, specifically: ring only call and vibrate only message.
Those settings are for Call ringing and notifications.
For message alerts, u have to open the Messaging app and select 'Settings - Notification Settings'.

Messaging > Settings > Notification Settings > Vibrate
is set to ALWAYS.
However, it will not vibrate on messages UNLESS "sound and vibration" checkbox is CHECKED for both Phone Ringtone AND Notifications.
this defeats the purpose as the question is for separate setting for each, specifically: ring only call and vibrate only message.
The question is not for the phone to both ring and vibrate but for the phone to ONLY ring on calls and ONLY vibrate on messages.
In the menu shown above, choose ringtone > silent.

If you have a Galaxy S II and tested this, you would see why more info is needed. Your post would accomplish half the question, the texts would vibrate only. But what about the other half: making the calls RING only without vibration?
Main Settings Menu > Sound
has a single "sound and vibration" checkbox.
If we UNCHECK that -Then how would you get vibration only for text?
If we CHECK that - Then how would you get sound only and no vibration for calls?
Question is for the phone to
ONLY ring on calls and
ONLY vibrate on messages.
@OP:
To be honest, I haven't actually tried to do what ur trying to do. Will try it first and let u know..
