I just jumped ship from a Galaxy S5 and so far I really like my new G4.
I have one minor annoyance when using the LG stock email app...every time I send an email, I get a "pop" sounding notification that the message was sent. I have set my notifications set to Silent in the mail app so I don't hear anything when email arrives. Is there any way to disable this sound? I prefer all phone notifications to be silent except when I'm receiving a voice call.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Have you solved this problem? It's driving me nuts!

I didn't have any luck. I ended up switching to Nine.
It's great exchange client. I like it much better than the stock app. It's $10 but they give you a free 30 day test drive period before you have to pay. It's money well spent.
Just search the play store for "Nine Folders."

I tried searching the internet and xda-forums, but found nothing. I hope this isn't a duplicate request.
I have 4 different e-mail accounts configured on my TyTN. I would so much like each of them have their own notification sounds on new e-mail. I have one account only for my system monitors alert e-mails and it would be great to have this alarm siren scare the beep out of me every time something went wrong. But obviously I wouldn't want that for my other e-mails.
Thanks for your time!
No-one? Anything? *bump*
There's an excellent Program that will do this
It's called "Inbox Tones" by Qorefunctions (http://mobileqore.moonfruit.com/)
It allows you to set a unique ringtone for each email account, and also for individual emails (ie specific persons) and also for groups.
It's solid and well worth the $
I would recommend that you download the Trial version and see if it does what you want.
But before buying it, I'd wait a bit - cause a little Birdie has told me that they ar ereleasing a new App for the PPC next month that combines the features of both Inbox Tones, and their other excellent program LED Alerts, and this App will also allow repeating alerts. It's NOT going to be offered as an 'Upgrade' to current users of Inbox Tones, so you if you like Inbox Tones you might wait for it to show up.
Hope this helps!

Thank you. The yahoo/gmail push program also seems cool. I am going to download the trial and see if it up to snuff.
My work wants to send me sms messages when I'm on call so they have to be able to wake me up. However, I don't want every text to be ear shattering. Is there a way to configure it so that the urgent texts from my company have one ring tone and everything else has another?
Alternatively, is it possible to set up different notification sounds for each mailbox? I'd like to have my work email have one sound and my personal email have another.
Much thanks.
Try Ringo for different text message sounds at:
www.ringomo.com
I'm not sure about how to have different sounds for emails though.
Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I wanted!
Weird problem. My sms messages come in o.k.(one tone), but my mms messages come in with a double tone. Any help would be appreciated.

What it's doing is alerting you when you first receive the message and then when the MMS is actually downloaded. This can get quite annoying, especially if you have a lot of iBuddies always group messaging. On the other hand, it can be useful to someone like me who has very limited data and turns it off periodically. The stock messaging app doesn't have that first alert. So if I don't happen to turn data back on, that message essentially stays in limbo.
I love this feature so here's my workaround. Allow GoSMS to notify you, however, turn off the notification sound and vibration. Let the stock messaging app handle that. It's a little redundant but for someone like me, especially if I'm very low on data, this prevents me from being rude to someone because I never received their mass text.
It's a dumb old technology that the cellphone companies are desperately clinging on to to keep text-messaging a separate add-on. If text-messaging uses data, then why can't the data that we pay for take care of text-messaging?! Sorry, I'm getting off topic. LOL

Thanks for the reply. I've disabled the stock messaging app, and don't see the need for two messaging apps. GoSMS only notifies me twice, when there's an attachment with the text, otherwise only one notification. I guess that i can live with it. Thanks, again.
Ok guys no threads about Go sms. This app has been blocked from talks on XDA due to security concerns that the Go team refuses to come clean about.

I've been using Google Voice for over a year now, and YouMail before that on my Palm Pre 2, so I haven't used Verizon's voicemail in a long time.
My issue is, every time that I get a text, I also get new voicemail notifications for voicemail that I have already listened to. Sometimes I will get "10 unread voicemail" notifications, most of the time it's one or two unread VM's, it is very annoying.
I've reinstalled the app, cleared data, and I've marked all VM's in Google Voice unread and then read - nothing works
Any other ideas?
I think there is a setting you can change so it does/doesnt notify you via sms/email when you get a vm.
You need to change this on a computer, not the app.

Yes that option does exist, but I am not getting text/email alerts of voicemail. I'm constantly getting voicemail notifications, which I want, just not the same ones over and over
Am I the only one with issues?

I have the same issue on my Nexus 4, 4.2.2. It is very annoying and the fact that this obvious bug has not been dealt with does make me wonder if Google Voice is going the way of Google Reader.... No devs. Maybe Babble will solve it... The only alternative I have found is turning off the integration and sending a text for the voicemail to the phone. Pretty kludgy.
Ugh, hoping for complete Babble overhaul as well. The entire app is a mess really

Oh okay, your first post threw me off because it says you got a text every time.

I agree with this. My problems were different than yours. I didn't get notifications on a regular basis. Then I'd get 10 notifications for messages I never received. Sometimes a phone reboot would send messages to me, but not always. My gmail account had the notifications but they weren't pushed to the app.
I got tired of it, and went back to sprint VM. I wish sprint visual voicemail was an option on this phone. - Note, I am NOT rooted, and use this for business and cannot root (company policy).
I just found this thread when I went searching for solutions to this same issue. Did anyone figure out a solution or a workaround?
I'm also experiencing the same issue.
Me too. Two different phones now. 2013 moto X and droid turbo 64 gig. A lot of times for me it does not seem to be triggered by the reception of a text message. It will just happen. It also seems like it's just related to a few messages in my voicemail. This morning, I got a notification from a voicemail from August 5th that I listen to that day and have been notified maybe 3 or 4 times since that it existed. I'm about ready for the kludgy workaround mentioned earlier to turn off notifications on my phone and turn on text message notifications for it. Also hoping that this post will spark some new interest in fixing this problem or even better remind someone to post a solution that they found.

I have had the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S3 ever since I started using a Google Voice number. I get my google voice voicemails in Hangouts, so there should be no reason for me to receive a voicemail notification for them. I was just looking through the Sync And Notications section of the Settings inside the Google Voice app, and I found that I can uncheck the voicemail notications. Hopefully this will not affect my receiving notifications for my regular phone number (the one attached to the phone), or receiving hangouts messages with the Google Voice number voicemails.
My phone doesnt always send txts right away, sometimes I will send 2 or 3 txts in a row and last one might send and other ones will say sending, I use verizon messaging app, restarting the phone or turning data on helps sometimes.

I don't have a fix for this but have the same issue and thought it was the app I used for texting, Contacts, excellent program now that I see it wasn't them causing the issue.It seems to have gotten somewhat better for me as they have updated there app every once in awhile.
I have recently tried using the Messaging+ from Verizon since they are supposed to work over WiFi... but I am finding that I am never getting notifications for some. I also have LG G Watch that isn't picking it up either. When I open Messaging+ there are several unread messages waiting for me.
I also dislike how it doesn't include the message in the notification, I just get "Joe Blow sent 1 new message".
I REALLY REALLY REALLY love the look and feel of "Hello SMS" for SMS but it works horrible for MMS. I can receive the MMS pictures but cannot send MMS pictures. When I do receive pictures, because I use a custom DPI, I only see a small corner of the image. I have to download, save, and open the picture up in Gallery. But because I usually chat with my GF using Hangouts and usually don't send pictures via texting, this typically is a non-issue for me. But the few times you need it, it is a pain.
If HelloSMS would get their act together with the MMS bugs, it would be very highly recommended. It is slim and pretty basic. But I love the style, notification dropdown shade, and simplisity.
There is another app that I like called Evolve. I could set it up similar to HelloSMS but for some reason I just didn't like it. It worked great.
Another one that I am looking at is HoverChat. It incorporates the Floating head bubbles similar to Facebook Messanger. Never tried it though.
