Hi guys, is it only me who have problems with notification sounds on Arc?
I love the phone in general but this particular feature is implemented horrible in my opinion.
There is only one notification sounds switch for all such sounds in Settings -> Sound -> Notification Ringtone.
If it's on the phone beeps every time when I get an email. This is very annoying, especially if you have many email accounts set up. If I turn it off it doesn't make any sound notification for calendar events which sucks.
Sms beeps still work when notifications are off, I don't really understand how it works and how to change it.
What do you guys do about it? Is it possible to have sms and calendar notification (better different sounds) and at the same time turn email sounds off?
Thanks.
EDIT.
Ok, I actually found what I was looking for. Sms application and calendar have their own settings for sound notifications. Haven't seen them before.
I cant get my default notification sound to change - I can change the gmail new email sound to change from within the gmail settings but for pop email, sms etc the sound doesn't change no matter which sound I pick?
Am I doing something wrong?
Tks
Have a look at the guide below.

Personalizing with sound sets
Each sound set gives you a different combination of sounds for your ringtone and notifications such as incoming messages, email, calendar event reminders, and more. By switching between sound sets, you can instantly make HTC One X ring or alert you with fun sounds when you're out with friends or change to subtle sounds while you're at work.
Creating a sound set
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Personalize.
On the Sound tab, tap Sound set.
On the Sound sets screen, tap .
Enter a new sound set name, and then tap Done.
The newly created sound set is then added to the list of sound sets. You can assign different tones to the sound set to your preference.
Changing your ringtone, notifications, and sounds
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Personalize.
On the Sound tab, tap Sound set.
Choose a sound set you want to customize, or create a new one, and then tap Apply.
Change the ringtone, notification sound, and alarm from the Personalize screen.
HTC One X automatically saves your choices to the current sound set.
Deleting sound sets
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Personalize.
On the Sound tab, tap Sound set.
Tap .
Select one or more sound sets you want to delete.
Tap Delete.

I think the poster meant that regardless of which sound you set as notification sound, it will still use the default notification sound. Just to clarify, even though it wasn't necessary as I've owned an htc android phone before, I did read the guide as i was stumped too. I can select any custom sound for notifications, it just doesn't use it. It's different for email notifications though, that will use the sound I set without problems... Anyone have a fix? It was like this since it first came out of the box.

If on stock all you can do it factory reset or run a RUU.

Hi,
is there anyone who is using Handcent SMS and notifcation sound inside this app?
I can't figure out, how to control sound volume for notification...
I'm using Profile Scheduler and ther are settings to control ringotne, media, notifications sounds foer each profile.
But if i set separate notification sound for SMS inside Handcent app, I can't control sound, because it's not controled by system notification volume... (that one for emails, etc...).
Thanks.
The stock Calendar app on my Acro S completely fails to change its notification sound. I don't know for sure whether it was like this on ICS but on stock (rooted & deodexed) .96 JB it's just not working. I go in to Settings, tap "General Settings" and then "Sound" under Notifications and Reminders. I use Sound Picker to choose a notification sound, tap "Done" and when it goes back to the General Settings screen it still shows "Default ringtone". This happens with the standard Sony tones or with tones that I have created (my tones are .mp3 files, in \system\media\audio\notfications\ and with permissions set to "-rw-r--r--", like the standard .ogg files already in there.
Anyone else seeing this, or have any ideas how I might fix it?
Hmm, well it turns out that changing the Calendar notification sound using Media Storage works fine, Sound Picker doesn't. Who knew?
Sound Picker worked just fine for Mail and Messaging. Oh well...
Settings within app are not always honored, default sounds override.
yeah, I'm having the same problem. the Yahoo mail app no longer have the options for no sound. and some apps would still notify with sound after default setting is silent.
