Is there a way to setup an mp3 for email and another one for SMS?
yea of course! you set the notification in the specific app. so to set email, go to the email app, hit menu and go to settings and change it. same for sms/mms. open up the text app, then go to menu and settings and you can change it there. this is how you set notifications for any app in android if they have notification options.
I could not find this setting in k-9.

Hi there,
Can someone tell me how I change the default app that is used to open text messages?
When I downloaded ChompSMS, I chose that as the default app, but I'd like to change that to Handcent SMS.
Thanks very much,
Menu>settings>applications>manage applications>chompsms then select the clear defaults button
Thanks very much - so how do I go about setting a new default?
the next time you open a message or anything related to messaging, your sammy will ask which app you want to use.. just check the "use by default for this action"

You see, that's what I hoped too.
But I've tried clicking on the Messaging icon and not getting a pop up box. It's just opening up in the standard app.
nope.. not the messaging icon.. because that messaging icon is a shortcut for the built in messaging app..
it must be a messaging "action" like clicking on a "send sms" button on the phonebook...
and also.. if you are referring on the messaging icon on 4 icons at the bottom, you must replace the default messaging icon (shortcut) with the handcent icon..
^instructions: click the applications icon -> menu -> edit -> drag the handcent icon/shortcut to replace the default messaging icon/shortcut
Ah ok, that makes sense. Think I've got it now ... cheers
One last question - is there a way of reverting the icon used for 'Messaging' to its default state?
you mean returning the default messaging shortcut at the bottom? yes you can, you'll notice that when you've replaced it with the handcent shortcut, the default messaging shortcut went to the applications menu. just do the same instructions to replace the handcent shortcut with the default shortcut..
since you'll be using handcent, disable the notifications of the default messaging app & use handcent's notification..
How can I disable notifications on the original notifications? I dont have any...please see my attached pictures...after settings, there is no notification settings for me to uncheck...ive transferred Handcent to the 4 main home button on the menu. but on the original messenger on the applications where i transfered it, it still has a number that its still receiving messages
curious tho. i've tried to drag the handcent app over the messaging app, once in the "applications" page. and it does nothing but let me throw it away..i desperately want to change the "messaging app" also one of the 4 apps at bottom, and make it the handcent. please help! thanks

If you don't see the Edit icon when you click the menu button, make sure you select Customizable List, then Menu, and you'll see the Edit button. Now drag the new icon the the menu bar.

can somebody let me know what the name of the standard messagin apk is?
the reason being is that i want to remove it from my phone as i use 'go SMS' and they dont talk to eachother so i get 2 notification icons in my notification area and its annoying! lol.
cheers Matt
There is no need to remove Messaging apk.
Open Messaging > Settings > Disable Notifications
Now you'll get notifications only from Go SMS.

Is there a way (setting or app) to turn off email notification sounds and still be notified by sound when I get a text.
Or alternatively have dif. Sounds for each.
I get so many emails and I have this cute kitty meowing notification. I wish it only meowed when I got an sms.
I use GOSMSpro and you can set individual settings for custom notifications and icon/LED colors tied to the specific person texting you.
That's the only way I know to get a different notification tone for SMS vs what you have set for other notifications... hope that helps.
Email - menu, email settings, notifications, select ringtone, "silent", ok
Text messages - menu, messaging settings, notifications, select ringtone, "whatever one you want", ok

Found the fix!
Go to menu/Personalize/Personalize sound/Notification sound/Email
From there you can set your default/Message/Calendar/Email sounds.
I just tested it with the email notification sound and it works.
is this in the default email app? because I'm not finding the personalization bit.
This may work
Tap the menu button. Select Personalize. Under Personalize Sound, tap Notification Sound. Tap Email. The list shows sound you can choose. There is a dropdown at the top yo get more sounds.
ah ok, its in htc sense launcher. I was using ADW. Doesn't have an option for gmail, but I didn't mean to threadjack this thread anyway.

Yes, and I believe that is the only option on stock. I checked in messenger settings and don't see any option for changing contact specific notifications. This may be an option in 3rd party messenger apps though.
In Messenger - Open a current SMS thread with the contact you want to change > click 3 dot menu > select "People & options" > change notification sound under General. You can also change the color of the conversation for that contact by clicking the color icon next to their name. These changes remain even if you delete the current thread with that contact.
I haven't found a way to change notifications for GMail.

I saw that option and didn't know if that was for specific contact or system wide. Thank you!
