For sms ringtones use Ringdroid, saves them so you can pick them in "notification" sound settings. For calendar notification settings?? As far as stock calendar goes, i dont really know, i dont think you can but umm, i guess if there's a good enough alternative calendar app in the marketplace you could try that.

Quick Question

Is there anyway to assign certain ringtones to contacts and have em ring that way?? but can i also do it where it rings that persons ringtone when i recieve a text??
yes you can set custom ringtones but as far as I know there is no way to do it for texts as when you get a text it just sends a general notification to the notification bar.
you can set up custom ring tones for texts if you are using a 3rd party application for texting like Handcent.

Handcent has a widget as well, with read/unread count.
Just sayin'.
use ringo lite
Well, you can sorta use the widget with 3rd party messengers. I used to use it with Chomp. When you click on the message, it'll ask if you want to use the 3rd party app, or the stock one. Just set the default to the 3rd party and you're good.

Email Notifications...

Anyone help ????
I have set my Hero Email app so that when I get and email, it informs me, and I can open, and read it, This is when I set the pop and smtp settings. But I also get another notification icon, which only lets me read the email, not reply to it, so I get two notifications.....
I only want the one from the email app, pop account, how do I cancel the other notification ????
Thanks all
Ian
That's a notification from the Gmail app.
It seems to me that either you're picking up your Gmail via POP in the Email app, or you use something other than Gmail for your email, but have set up a Gmail account which is also picking up your email via POP.
In either case, if you want to switch of notifications from Gmail, go into the Gmail app and then "Menu"->"Settings" and untick "Email Notifications" which will switch of the Gmail notification.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks Dave,, thats just what I was hoping someone would say....

Hey Ian, I don't mean to hijack your thread, but my question is applicable here.
I am using the Gmail notification widget from the Market. When I get an email, the widget reflects the number of unread items. So, I no longer have a need for the notification in the taskbar. Problem is, there seems to be no way to disable the taskbar notification without disabling the sound and vibrate as well! (where is my "banging head against the wall" smilie?)
Anyone know how to resolve this. Handcent is the same way. Disable the taskbar notification and you lose your sound notification as well.

Set sms notification per contact?

Is it possible to set an sms notification sound per contact?
I've searched and the only thing I can find are a few apps on the play store.
Is there a modded stock messaging app or something similar?

Messages Notification and Default Notification

Is there a way to have a different Messages notification tone than the default notification tone?
Many thanks!
Same question! I can't even change sound notifications from gmail and google allo?
Same for Twitter lol
Having the same .. would like to have different sound notifications in gmail and messages. I seem to be able to do it in WhatsApp, but everywhere else it use system default sound
It is extremely extremely annoying. To solve this, I am using Textra instead of stock messages. You might like it and it has , of course, the option of changing the sound. I wouldnt even consider that a 2018 flagship doesnt have that option...

You can change the notification sounds in Gmail. I have three email accounts setup in the Gmail app.
Goto:-
- Gmail settings
- General settings
- Manage notifications
- Click the text area that says 'Normal: Allow these notifications to make sounds' (not the button)
- Sound
Thanks, havent found that before

How to disable Facebook messenger sound?

Hello,
All my messengers(whatsapp, hangouts, etc) allow me to change message sound to vibrate.
I cannot do this with Facebook messenger, for some reason. I think its
messenger/settings/notifications and sounds/manage notifications/chats and calls/sound - change to silent
I think it's that, but it won't save permanently those preferences
Any ideas how to completely disable the sound notifications in Facebook messenger? I prefer just to switch it to vibrate.
Hi
Try going to Messenger app info and select notifications and then change notification sound to silent.
That may help but i am not sure because i rarely use messenger.
