[q] sms/mms/voice mail/email notification tones - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Forgive me if this has been already answered as I was unable to locate an answer for this specific phone. Is there any way on our T-Mobile Galaxy S2s to have a different tone for each notification? I tried to change indivudually under each of the repective settings but no dice. 1 notification tone for all. Really? I hope there is a work around.

there's an App for that...
I use Rings Extended + RingDroid + Zedge, you can find them in the market free
then you can choose from a wide variety of alerts, music, mp3, or even make your own!

I got a similar question... How can I set my messages to vibrate only? I only get it to vibrate with a tone but I don't want that

set vibrate to always? (in settings > sound)
also you can do it independently for each App that you use, like SMS, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Gmail etc
each of them has their own separate settings

Notifications

Hi guys just wondering if its possible to have different tones for various notifications like sms,emal etc or is it just one tone for everything.Thanks.
If you already have some music on your phone that you want to turn into tones/notifications etc, download Ringdroid from the market. Worked well for me!
thanks mate will give it a try
I've got the unbranded Desire from Carphone Warehouse.
On this device, if you go into gmail app, you can change the notification sound for just that app in the settings. The default choice is "use default [notification] sound", but you can chose others.
You can use any sound they just have to be in the right place.
On SD cards root make folders. Then they will show up when looking.
Alarms - For alarms obviously.
Notifications - For message tones.

I'm not sure if your question has been fully answered; but I was wondering the same thing. How to have a different tone for sms, emails, facebook etc.
I know some apps allow for this in their settings but I can only see one place for 'general notifications' and this applies to all types of notifications.

For facebook open the app press menu then settings. You can choose a sound in here.
I think sms and email has to be the same. Someone prove me wrong please.

Question: How to set a ringtone for all my contacts and different ringtone for others

Ok, I think there is an app for it but I wanted to know if it was standard on TW.
I want Ringtone A to ring when anyone in my contact list calls and Ringtone B to ring for any other callers including blocked caller ID's.
Is it possible without downloading an app? And I don't want to go into each contact to do it.
Sure is. Open contacts, click the groups tab. Long press the group and select edit

[Q] Individual Sound Notifications for Phone & Messaging Apps?

Guys,
Do any of you use individual sound notifications for either the Phone or Messaging Apps?
I appreciate titles such as GoSMS Pro and Textra for messaging can handle individual sounds but it would be good to hear if the standard apps on the G3 could achieve this?
You can do this with app from gp called MegaSound

Sorry but I don't think I explained it clearly enough..
Basically what I am looking for is an app that when one of your contacts is called into a notification be it a phone call or a text message it plays a sound that identifies the caller.
In the past I have created dozens of individually identifiable text/phone alerts that I use to identify who is either phoning or texting me.
GoSMS Pro and Textra to name but two I have used in the past to give each contact their own individual sound notification.
I was hoping rather than install GoSMS Pro or Textra again maybe I could use the default phone and messaging apps but with some way to identify each of my contacts?

Thanks.... I guessed it would end up like this.
Yet again it's the phone that has individual ringtone but messenger can't have the same.

Thanks but I have two problems with this:-
1. It doesn't allow you to select a pre-made sound file.
2. Are you sure this allocates the same sound file for an individual to both the phone and messaging apps?

Custom Ringtones Per Contact

I think I saw this mentioned before but I can't find the thread it was in for the life of me.
I really need to be able to set custom ring tones per contact. I have clients that pay for 24/7 support and I have set really annoying and distinctive ring tones per client. I have no way to do this on the Razer phone. I tried using Zedge (I really don't want to do this as I have made my own tones) and setting a ringtone to the contact in the app but it doesn't seem to work and I see no way to do it in contacts, as you would normally would.
Any big brains out there have some thoughts?
