I know there were a lot of threads about not being able to change the notification sound in different apps... but none was talking about FB.
(BTW email notifications work although finding where to change it was a pain in the ...)
It drive me bananas since I see that in the app the push notification sound is the 'Facebook' tune one but on every notification I get the default phone notification sound...
Anyone solved it?

Hi there,
I am pretty new to Windows Phone. So far so good, I really like it. There are a couple of things that are bugging me however. One is that I am missing notifications for new emails. Other app are pushing notifications, however, my email accounts (exchange and IMAP) don't. Is this possible?
Regards
Michael
Under Settings / Ringtones & Sounds you can select the Notification sound for incoming E-Mails. If it is set to none you don't get notified. There are no Toast-Notifications for e-mails though.
Too bad... it was the toast notifications I was looking for. A bit annoying if you have the phone sitting on your desk at work, muted and nothing happens when you get a new email.
Thanks for your answer.

it should vibrate then. That's what my phone does when it's muted.

I disabled vibration because it is annoying for my colleagues as I get a lot of emails.
What is needed is the ability to add custom tones to incoming emails and SMS already, I don't know what the hold up is at Microsoft. The thing is that the default tones that it has all sound the same and are so low that if your to far away you won't hear them.

hey, I have a quick question for you guys. I have two accounts set up on my gmail. For notifications I put the hangouts message sound for both accounts. Its really weird but after a day or two I noticed not hearing any sound when I get an email. I go into settings and under sound it gives me a random number. for example under sound it would say "3650". I switch them both back to the hangouts message sound. Then after another day or two it goes back to silent and gives another random number under sound. does anyone know whats wrong? has anyone ever had this happened?
must be something wrong with the hangouts app. have you tried assigning a different sound? one that was included with the device?
why would the hangouts app have anything to do with it? im just using the sound. I have not tried any other sound though.

its possible the hangouts sound is being sent to the phone from the play store so it could be getting changed because of the hangouts app being in control of the sound you are selecting. he was just saying that might be an option so you might try changing it to another sound to see if it continues. if it doesn't then something must be happening with hangouts. it might make sense that google changes the hangouts sound on its end and then "ports" it to the phone so they could change the hangouts sound whenever it wants.
I've noticed this a few times and haven't figured out a way to stop it - when I get a new email, a musical notification will begin playing and does NOT stop until I unlock the phone and dismiss the notification or open gmail.
I've already tried changing the notification sound within the gmail settings to "Silent" but that doesn't seem to fix. Never had this issue on my GS3 so I'm assuming it's a Motorola thing.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Not sure how to explain it. I'm 95% sure it's related to getting gmail notifications, but I guess it could be a different app (I generally leave my phone on vibrate so it's only happened a few times when my notification sounds are on). It's a musical melody that doesn't seem to end, not a short notification like everything else is.
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
i'm ok with being an idiot, but i can't seem to figure out how to get my incoming texts to give me a buzz on either the phone or samsung watch.
allow all notifications
they're all allowed, google messages thing. i might have to reinstall i guess. i see the notification on my screen and watch, but definitely don't get a buzz or a blip sound
oh, maybe because i have messages for web syncd and open
nope
Do you get other notification sounds?
yes, i'd hate reinstall it....but it might be about that time
Do you use the default Google message app?
Did you set a custom notification sound for text messages?
solved
