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!!
Ok.. So I bought the wife the SGS2 as she had been waiting for it since the kid through the captivate in the toilet ;D well i did the root method and then just put cognitions new rom on there.. I do not know if she was having the issue "stock" as I don't know that she put zedge on it and it was working . wife i saying it was happening with stock as well.. anyway.. the issue is.. i set (she sets) the ringtone and notification to something else.. I have tried stock and tones DL"d from zedge and no matter what I change it too.. it continues to just do the default tones.. her notification is that whistle sound and ringtone is the samsung one (i think) default..
any know why they are not changing and any solutions??? also.. she is notificing that no notification sound is being made when something comes in like and email and what not.. any ideas on that?? is there a setting im missing on her phone or somthing for this one?
thanks for any help

Hmm, I'll try to look into this later this week (going out tonight), but I do recall that notification tones for email seem to not work. However I may have just not heard it.
SMS and Google Talk notifications do work normally for me, same for ringtone.
My SMS and email notifications wont change for me either.. I change it in sound menu and still get that annoying "whistle" with every text!!
BTW I'm stock..

Ive noticed that you have to change the notification ringtone on the SMS application separate from the general notification ringtone in settings. Access this by hitting the menu key while in SMS app. I believe email notification tone would be accessed the same way.
This is correct. I did the same thing and now my notification sounds are as customized

This is the same as the Captivate (stock roms) -- you have to be in the application (messaging, email, gmail, etc) and change notification tones there.

This is how it's done.

thanks a lot guys..
i did notice this morning I heard her notification message was saying her new one.. however, i noticed that it was only when email was coming in, the text was still the whistle.. so I will go in and try to change as stated above and see how this goes.. again thanks.
this also helps as a friend and his wife still have the captivates and his wife had this same issue and it was "HIGHLY PISSING" her off so much she wants to get rid of it and get one of those ancient "phone" only type phones hehe

edit:
confirmed.. does work. for some odd reason, you go into text/sms app and when you go to settings, sure as s*!t it is set to default as the "whistle" ringtone and not default in which I would think it would default to what ever you set as the standard notification one.. going into gmail and it stocks to default.. so thanks again, working for her now..
Another 'gotcha' for ring tones if you point your ring tones at the internal SD/ external SD and then use usb storage mode to attach those drives, you'll get some sort of weird notification sound that's not any of the normal ones if a notification arrives while it's mounted.
I have recently moved to an S3 after years in iPhone land. Its been mostly great, the S3 is a way more open and powerful platform. However a coupe of small things are driving me nuts.
All I want is my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time for incoming calls. Vibrate and play a tone when an SMS is recieved and neither vibrate or play a tone when an email is recievied (but still pop up the icon in the notification area). Seems simple enough, but it appears to be impossible on the stock phone. The only setting covering vibration in the Sound menu is "Sound and Vibration" but if I tick this the damn phone vibrates for all notifications, even if I have the notification sound set as "Silent".
The most frustrating thing is that is seems vibration settings per app used to be there in the S2, but have been removed in the S3. Now the Messaging and Email Apps do not have a specific vibrate option, rather it is all controlled with the global "Sound and Vibration" option.
My other annoyance is there is no easy way to control the brightness from the notification area (with out installing a crappy app). Once again it appears the S2 had a slider right on the notification pulldown, but for some reason this was removed?!?
I have used up all my Google Fu and have no answers. Can anyone suggest how to do these seemingly simple things in the stock rom, or suggest an app or even rom that has these features.
Thanks.
try this....

You can fix that in the messaging app settings. Messaging -> Settings -> Notification Settings. Tick Notifications and then select a ringtone. If it is still not working then its a bug, try rebooting the phone.
Regarding brightness control, try the app Quicker in Google Play

Thanks for the suggestion.. it gets quite close to what i want if you use the status bar shortcut. Just wish it could put the slider *right on* the status bar.
I think that saying it's a mess is a bit melodramatic. I have mine set up exactly as you describe. Maybe you need to play with your in-app settings a bit more ...

yup i already did this. looks like my unit needs to be replaced.
Is anyone else having problems where your phone freezes for a few seconds when you recieve a sms while the phone is in use?

If i were you i'd do a factory reset.
Before i got my phone i had heard issues where notifications either wouldnt appear or would appear even when there is no text and various other issues regarding sound etc
So to make sure i didnt get any of these issues as soon as i got my phone i didnt a factory reset straight away and i haven't had any issues.
I've set my phone to silent and vibrate. The SMS notification vibration duration is annoyingly long on the S3. Is there a way to shorten it?
I use volume control + pro, and everything is good.... Give it a try

I have exactly the same problem. Since i get a lot of mail every day, it's annoying to have vibration enabled, but disabling it in global settings disables it also for SMS :/ I don't think there is a way right now to leave it enabled for SMS only.

Same here, I set up mine almost exactly as he describe and no problem at all.
So after all this discussion, has anyone figured out how to disable just the vibrate alert for the stock email app? I still want notification in the taskbar, just no vibrate.

No problems at all. As has been said, you need to set your notifications in the in app settings, not the general sound settings on the phone.
To start, go into the phone settings and select sound, and then for notifications set it to silent. Leave sound and vibration as checked.
Then use your in app settings to set you sound and vibration for notifications. I haven't used the stock email app, I use the gmail app. You have to go into the settings for each individual app, but you can set a custom notification sound and vibration for each account. I tested this with two of mine, having vibration on for one and off for another then sent some mail. It vibrated for the account with vibration on, and did not vibrate for the one with vibration off.

OK, just out of interest sake I set up an email account using the stock email app and while it does have custom notification settings for each account, it does not give you the option to disable/enable vibration. So, to me, it appears you can not turn off the vibration in the stock email app without turning it off for the whole phone.
I would assume your only choice would be to use a third party email app if this is important to you.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I'm on stock everything and it works fine. Only thing I had to do is install an app to get some specific mp3 ringtones I had made. But I do have the option for different types of vibration for different contacts or groups, the silent mode works and the custom vibration also works.

1. Pull down the menu where you see notifications and can switch wifi gps etc. Off.
2. Enable the notifications by scrolling to the right and finding the ( ! ) logo.
Vibration is now activated again. Had the problem myself my girlfriend kept asking me how
Hello all,
I just installed Tachyon 1.2 from Stock Cyanogenmod 4.1.1. The only issue that I'm having is the notification sounds. I have the default sound set as "Suweet". Now I want a different notification in the messaging app and set that to "MiB". If i'm not in the messaging app and when a text comes in, it plays the "Suweet" sound. If I'm in the messaging app when a text comes in, it plays the "MiB" sound. I hope I'm making sense. I've tried to reset to defaults and reflashed the ROM again and still does this. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Dan
Also... It happens in other apps as well, such as the email and gmail apps.

Are you setting the notifications in SETTINGS - SOUND? If not, try that and see if it works. I was setting notifications in each app and they wouldn't "stick". I have just made the changes in SETTINGS and it seems stable, but I haven't had enough time to make sure it worked.
I'm new to the Samsung phones and can't seem to get notifications to show up on my lockscreen or get the led to flash. I know you have to set this up per app in settings but I can't seem to find an option that allows for this with notification sound turned off. I'm especially having issues with Twitter and Gmail.
TIA for the help.
If your profile is "silent" or "vibrate", the notification sound won't come out.
