Am new to Android and can't work out how to turn off sound notifications for emails yet retain them for SMS text messages?
I get a lot of emails that aren't urgent (an can read in my own time) but would like to still know immediately when a text comes in...
Cheers
Yeah go into e-mails and then press menu then go to more then settings it's in there. Notification settings, sounds OFF.
In the email applications you can set the ringtone for email notifications to silent? Presumably that allows you to keep SMS notification sounds.
The way i described allows to keep sms sounds.

Morning all, got my desire 2 days ago and still trying to get used to it after leaving my HD2. 1 thing i am annoyed at is the apparent inability to turn the notification bar off for sms, received/sent and STILL get a sound/vibrate.
I have found the settings in messages and handcert as i use that as my default sms now.
If i remove the tick from notification bar (in messages menu) and the sound 1 is ticked but then grays out. Nothing is shown or more importantly HEARD even though its ticked but grayed out. I have done the same for the handcert but it seems the notification settings in the messages program override the handcert ones.
Basically i want to have NO notifications on the notification bar but for it to make a sound and vibrate. Can it be done?

You could try duck tape?
Seriously its only fully visable if you pull it down, can't you just ignore it?
no really helpful that, i can ofc course ignore it. but being a non winMo i thought you could edit it so it just never showed up. i'd just prefer not to have to drag the thing down and click clear every time i send/receive a msg.
not asking much for such a customisable phone or so i thought.

If you read the message the notification disappears...
And you can change your whole ''desktop'' except the notification bar as far as I know.
Maybe a rom cooker can edit the android files but out of the box? No you can't change it. Sorry
And many people see the notification tab as a plus, and I do to I really have
a hard time imaging getting annoyed with it so sorry for my first response but it goes in the list of (for example)
1. I hate androids open source way of doing things, wich really is a virtue of android. 2. I hate htc sense (then don't buy it)
thanks for the reply.
I am just slightly annoyed that changing the settings in the original messages settings conflict and over ride the handcert sms ones. gonna try chomp and see if those settings can take priority over the default messages app.

You can set the settings for each program, if you want to turn off notifications, you can do that.
I have turned off notifications from the deafult messaging app and uses hancent's notifications.
If you dont want any og those apps notifications you have to turn them both off
Is there a way to disable the SMS/MMS icon that appears in my notifications? I believe it's the default one because I have uninstalled all third party applications.
Even when I click on it and read any new messages, it does not disappear unless I click "clear" in the notifications drop-down.

Go into your stock messaging app. Find settings by pressing menu! Scroll to received Notifications. disable it now.... There you go, the little message icon shouldnt appear.

Hi,
Just moved from the Desire to the Desire HD and there is one thing that is bugging the hell outta me. I like to have delivery reports turned on for SMS messages, and on the Desire, this was perfect. To see a delivery report, I just held on the message and tapped Delivery report. It would show, Delivered, Failed or Pending. Nice. Non-intrusive.
NOW, on the Desire HD, I've enabled Delivery Reports, BUT, I now get a notification in the Status Bar area and a notification alert, like a new message has come in.
Does anyone know, cause I can't seem to find out how, to disable the Notification of Delivery Reports? I want the reports, but not the "new message" like notification. I hope someone can help, cause in all honesty, this is a deal breaker for me with this phone!
Just moved to DHD fro Desire myself and I cant seem to be able to turn this off..any pointers please.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I've never been able to find a way to turn it off.. so it's an all or nothing case!

This is a shame one HTC, if features like this can be taken out if it was already existing in older devices... not to talk of the low Speaker volume...Moving for me seem to be a bad decision.
I have SMS delivery reports turned on but get no notification icon.
This could be because I use SMS Popup app and have turned notifications in the HTC SMS settings (otherwise I would get double notifications).
The main purpose of SMS Popup is to show a pop-up of your SMS (funnily enough!) as you get them, but you can turn that off and just use it to customise your notifications icons and various other tasks. It's very unintrusive and in over 18 months of using it on different phones I've never had a problem with it.
Might be worth a try for you guys...

Also good for those suffering the dual HTC notification problem.
So... you have delivery reports turned on in HTC's settings right?

I'm pretty much the same. I played around with the Popup part, but don't like it.
In the "Default Notifications" settings in SMS Popup I have the following set:
Show a Popup - OFF
Enable Notifications - ON
Notify on Call - ON
Vibrate - ON (set at 0,350)
Blink LED - ON (Set at "Normal" Blink rate)
I've also turned on Reminders as I tend to miss messages
It's working perfect for me!

Brilliant! It's such a good little app. I originally tried Handcent, Chomp and a few other SMS apps but none were as lightweight, unobstrusive and reliable as SMS Popup. It's so easy to forget you even use it.
Great idea! Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!
Million times TNX for this...
Not ideally working whit sense 3 lock screen, but everything is better then that irritating sound and notification at status bar for report. Why HTC make this idiotic report after that so cool on Desire?? WHY??
Did any of you, or any of developers here on forum try to edit Mms app (Mms.apk)?
I try to find this in it, because if you turn off HTC notification then you no get sms on lock screen. I guess it's in some of these files:
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportAdapter.java
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportItem.java
com\android\mms\ui\DeliveryReportActivity.java
Any one have idea how to find this? I use sense 3.0 Mms.apk
Me too, no clue .. sigh
I dont want to use that popup app, I chose android because of the notification system. How come there is still no fix to this annoying issue?
I have updated my Note 2 to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 but i got a problem that when i switch my phone to the silent mode from the drop down menu it makes the incoming call alert silent with no problem except that the message alerts still give me the alert sound as if it is not in the silent mood.
Note:
I was not having this problem before upgrading.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
I found that I needed to go into each app that I get notifications from and set them to silent/non vibrate. The main setting was being overridden by the app.
Thanks

Install Silent Sleep from Play. It will end all sounds from all apps.
Hi all,
There used to be an option for notifications to override DND, however the option seems to be missing now. Can anyone help me find it?

Thanks for your input, maybe my question wasn't specific enough. I was looking for an option for one of my messaging apps(WhatsApp) to override DND. Cannot find those options on the page
If WhatsApp is your default SMS app, the Messages setting in above stuff might take care of your wish.
