I am having an issue where the notification tone i have set will only play for new gmail. Exchange emails play the 'Alpha' tone. Anyone else having this issue?
Having the same problem here. I changed the default notification sound under sound settings to "bubble" and my active exchange account still plays alpha. There is no setting within the exchange account to set a custom tone.
ok, glad its not just me. Hopefully fixed in the next OTA
From the main screen press the personalize button (lower right), select "Notification sound", and set your email notification tone from there. It should work - I think this is new in Sense 3.0 (I initially discovered this using MikG's rom for my Evo 4g works on my 3d).

You are a legend sir... Thank you so much!
i am running senselssrom 2.1 so the "personalize" function is stripped out because of the lack of sense, so this is not an option for me. so i have to change the notification sound by going to Settings>Sound>Notification Sound, but this still plays the "Alpha" sound. all other notification sounds are easily changed, but i can't figure out why this one won't work. i haven't had any luck and any help would be greatly appreciated.

you'll need to fire up sense for this as far as i know. Not sure if there is any other way.
i thought about doing that but it doesn't quite make sense (no pun intended) because this is the exact same way that i change the phone's ringtone and that works. if i was unable to change the ringtone, i would completely agree, but i can change that freely just not the exchange email notification sound.
Does anyone know of a way to turn off the notification sound when a text arrives? I don't mean the Text Messaging app notification, that's already off so there shouldn't be any sound but everytime I receive a text I still get a sound and vibrate which is coming from Settings > Sound Settings > Notification Ringtone (not the Text Messaging app settings).
If I use a 3rd party app (e.g. GoSMS) for texts I get double notifications, even when I turn off notifications for the stock messaging app. If I turn off the notification sound in Settings > Sound I don't get any sound at all.
Any ideas anyone? Hope you know what I mean, sorry if I haven't explained very well.
Grab and use the App "Simple sound profile widget" from the market.
That is one of my all time favorite Android apps ever! (plus its easy to use and free)
Hopefully that should help you out. If not, it's still a must have App anyway...

Thanks for coming to my assistance (again!) ccrows
I tried that app but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem, but really glad you mentioned it, it's definitely a really useful app to have.
It seems the stock android sound/vibrate notification is activated for any alert, in addition to whatever alert the individual app (i.e. text messaging/goSMS/email) uses, and I'm unable to separate them. I either have no notifications or two notifications
Is everyone else's phone the same? When you get a text message do you get two notifications (but not two messages)?
Many thanks
[EDIT] Problem solved, I feel like such an idiot! Every time I send/receive a text my carrier sends me a message with an update of my monthly allowance. I turned that off via their website and now no more double notifications. It was their message that was triggering the extra notification at the same time as the text messages.
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....
Setting > [email protected] > ringtone &vibrate

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 ...

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 have a HTC One M8 and I tried to set a custom txt and email notification but for some reason. My tone is checked but not used. The app says it is using the default but when I go into the setting it shows my tone.
Please can anyone help.
