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.

LightFlow finally supports the Sony SmartWatch 2

Hello guys! I'd like to report here that LightFlow finally supports the Sony SmartWatch 2! If you're already using it for handling the leds of your phone, you can also forward the notifications to the watch just selecting a checkbox.
Here's a link to the app: https :// play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow (sorry I don't have enough posts).
It works pretty smoothly, so give it a try!

You can select for each of your application how it notifies you. For example, if you want to handle your Facebook's notifications, you can select the color and frequency of the led, the sound, the vibration, etc., but also you can now send the notification to your watch.
This is pretty neat, because a lot of events can be handled by that app: you could for example send a notification to your watch when your phone is fully charged, and so on.
Here's a screenshot for Facebook: http://i.imgur.com/rfvupl9.png .

Wow, that does sound neat. I think my ROM has a way to program different light colors but it was never that interesting to me. But it sounds really interesting so I will check it out. One question... are they full notifications (eg the full email)?

How does it send the notification to the Smartwatch? Could you attach a picture showing it please?
Regards.

It must only be in the pay app. The free app doesn't show it. I wouldn't buy this without a chance to test it out.

I love when an app I bought and used to use adds functionality that compels me to re-install :victory:

I have paid LightFlow and I can't get it to work with sending notifications to SW2
Could anyone help me?
Edit: Had to re-install app

I started using Lightflow again after getting my SmartWatch - it seems to support all notifications, and extended Gmail notifications as well (which is great).
Is there a way of specifying notifications to be sent to the watch only when the screen is off?

@andrewpmoore - just wondering if you'd be able to provide LightFlow with detailed notifications from Gmail - with other apps that push notifications to the SmartWatch like Watchify, it's possible to push the contents of whole email on the smartwatch. Can Lightflow be set up to do this?

Yes it should be possible, I use it myself. If you enable "Gmail, all notifications" then it should pick the email text up. The label specific notifications don't (as the information isn't available when monitoring that way) so I use label specific notifications for getting different lights but have Gmail all notifications enabled with the led off and the option only set on that to push to the watch.

Thanks heaps for that, will give that a go - also, I've noticed a few 'false' notifications when I open a Messenger window, or sometimes it doesn't pick up multiple messages, is there any reason this happens?
I'm trying to find the 'ultimate' Sony SmartWatch notification app, and at the moment I'm using a combination of Watchify and WatchIt! to do different things.

I dont find this "gmail all notifications" option, i have to choose one label always. Where is this option showed?

I just got a sony smartwatch 2 and i started playing around with it.
It made me happy to read, that lightflow is able to send notifactions to the smartwatch.
Unfortuneatly I can't get it to work.
I checked the Setting "send to sony smart devices" but no notification is showing up on my smartwatch 2. I've already re-installed Lightflow, but nothing changed.
Can somebody help me ?

Hello, I have a question because I'm a bit confused. Does LightFlow support notification clearing from the Sony SW2 to the phone?
I mean, when I get a notification in Lightflow on SW2, if I read it on SW2, is it automatically cleared on the phone as well?
The app description does not tell this, and I could not find any relevant information.
I even contacted the developers of Lightflow but their response did not really made thing more clear:
Hi
With the pebble watches it doesn't clear them but on the sony watch it should. I've got an original SW1 for development and got the two way communication working between notifications.
Cheers
Andrew

Hello, I've been using your Light Flow Lite app on my Nexus 5 and I love it. But I also have a Sony SW2 smartwatch and I saw that the full app supports sending notification to the SW2. Unfortunately from the reviews of the app I understand that the app does not sync the read status of the notification on the smartwatch to the phone. More simply, when I read the notification on the smartwatch I want the notification to be automatically cleared on the phone, otherwise you would need to clear each notification two times. Is this possible from a technical point of view? Is it a planned feature? Because it's the only thing keeping me from buying your full app. Thank you. All the best.

Can anyone provide more information?, screenshots would help. Maybe there are some settings I did not see ?

[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?

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?

You can't with the default Messaging app.
Your only options are:-
1. Go to Settings/Accessibility and switch on 'Message / call voice notifications.
or
2. Install a different Text app and make it default.
Textra offers individual notifications both with sounds and individual coloured icons in the notification bar.

It does use specific tone for individual contacts...... I know because I am using it in this way myself.
What you must do is after launching Textra PRESS & HOLD on one of your contacts and you will notice a 'Tick' has appeared over all the contacts with the one you selected highlighted.
Next, go to the top right and tap on the three dots and select Notifications. Now you can alter to your hearts content for that individual.
Job done....

Question Messages Ringtone

Anyone know a way to change the default text message ringtone on Google messages? I can set them individually, but that's a pain.

Long press the app > (i) Information > Notifications, and from there you will probably be able to set a default notification ringtone.

No dice.

Not sure if this is what you need. Go to Settings. Then Apps. Go to the app you want and there's a section to change the default sound. I did for a number of apps already.
