I have the AT&T SIII, and I can't set any notification tone for the calender if it wasn't included on the phone.
Example, if I set it to any tone that I have on the SD card, when I hit the home key, and relaunch the calender, it resets the tone to "on time". If I set the tone to one that was included, such as "harmonics", it sticks (even after a restart). I've tried force closing/clearing data from calender & calender storage, and also disabling/enabling both (along with restarts) to no avail...
Maybe it's just me, but after I tried to set a user generated tone, it also seemed to stop the calender reminders from functioning correctly.
Is anyone else seeing this issue or have a fix for me?

Hi,
Being a recent convert from Windows Mobile, I'm noticing how the alarms and notifications of applications seems separate from each other rather than integrated. Has anybody else noticed this, or is it just me? Also, what is the technical difference between an alarm and a notification? Everything seems to be a notification rather than an alarm.
Is there any suggested techniques/configuration to ensure all of my apps use the same notifications/volumes etc without me having to go to every single app and configure it? Also is there a way to configure how the vibration works system-wide? Every single app seems to have their own settings and its a bit of a pain. I also prefer a "longer" vibration in case I miss something (the phone is usually in my pocket).
Also does anybody have recommendations regarding applications which can repeat or remind me for missed events? I want a repeat reminder that I have an appointment coming up, or have missed an SMS or a call (but haven't noticed it) or have received an e-mail? I just want something like to remind me every 5 minutes by playing the sound and/or vibrating, for about an hour - mainly just in case I haven't noticed it - but I don't want it going on forever in case I don't have the phone with me and it annoys others!
Thanks,
Ian
I've just downloaded Missed Reminder which does all that I think. Although it's not for calendar reminders, which is annoying.
Hopefully that will change in the future since I can't find anything else that does the same job for calendar reminders - or Google will sort it out and add repeaters.
Hi, I have a Gmail account setup on my GN, which is set to show a notification icon, but the notification sound is set to silent. Even so, when I get an email it sounds my ringtone (not even my default notification sound!).
The only way to stop this is to turn off new mail notifications completely, which means I don't even get an icon, so I'm constantly opening my gmail to see if I've received anything.
Does anyone else have this problem, or am I doing something wrong?
Hi, I have been trying to do the same thing but no luck. How did you turn off the gmail sound notifications in the first place? I looked everywhere.
By the way there must be a way we can control all the incoming notifications. I would like them to be displaying but silently. How is this achievable?
Hi, I thought this thread had been forgotten about!
I bodged mine in the end, thus:
1. Go to gmail and use the menu to go to 'settings',
2. Select the email address you want to configure,
3. Tick the email notifications checkbox,
4. Tap 'Ringtones & Vibrate',
5. Select silent for ringtone and vibrate only in silent mode.
(now the bodge)
6. Go to the phone settings screen and select 'Sound',
7. Set vibrate to never.
Told you it was a bodge! If you find a better way, please let me know
Hello, I've read about 50 posts on different forums and found no solution to my issue. Hoping the wizards of XDA can help. I have unique notification sounds set up for various apps by going into the app's settings and selecting a unique tone. However, whenever a notification fires the default notification sound, under System Settings>Sound>Default Notification, constantly fires. The unique sounds I selected for Gmail, FB, Handcent, etc, will not play. Most likely I'm missing the obvious. Thanks.
Well, after half a day of my app notifiers not working, they are now working. Didn't do anything. I think my GS3 is just schizo.
I've never had this problem before with my Note II, but every time I get an email through the Gmail app or the Nine app (work email), the phone vibrates.
For gmail, I have the 'Notifications' box checked and within the 'Inbox sound & vibrate' I have 'Label notifications' checked, Sound set to a non-default ringtone (in case the default ringtone was the thing forcing the vibrate), Vibrate unchecked and 'Notify for every message' unchecked as well.
In Nine, pretty much the same setup. Vibrate is unchecked and sound is changed to something non-default.
Any thoughts?
I still haven't been able to find a solution. Anyone have any thoughts/experiencing the same problem?

One last try to get an answer. Hoping with more people having the phone now, someone will know.
Hi
My watch no longer vibrates when I get a notification or message. It's there if I look manually, but I don't get notified by it. It still vibrates when getting a call or a alarm, so the vibrate function is still functional.
Anyone have any idea what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance
Yup, noticed this too after updating to 5.1.1
This is happening to me too. I hope there is a resolution soon. Missed a meeting.
By design, the watch only vibrates on events that your phone would vibrate for. is it possible you hvae a setting on your phone that is set not to vibrate on messages for some reason?
Are these meetings in Google Calendar? For some reason Google turned of notification by default recently in Google Calendar.
- Go to calendar.google.com
- Go to Settings, Calendar tab
- 'Edit notifications' for your calendar name
- Add a Popup notification
Not sure why they turned this off by default. Pissed off many.
