Any way to only enable sound notification for texts? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't figured out how to stop notification sounds on emails while allowing them for texts. I get over 100 emails a day between my email accounts and am going nuts. Is there a way to only allow sound alerts for texts? It seems that you have to have sound alerts for emails & messages or no alerts at all. Am I just missing something in the settings? I came from a Note 3 which allowed me to set up sound alerts for everything individually. I only want text alerts. Any apps out there anyone can reccomend for the G4? I'm tired of hearing the phone alerts in the middle of the night when the spam emails are rolling in. Thanks in advance.

You can either go to email settings, select the account, go to the notifications area, select sound and scroll to top and select silent or go into Priority Only notifications mode and allow messages (and/mms).

Thanks. Hope this does it.

configure per sender sms tone?

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:

I'm not sure about how to have different sounds for emails though.
Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I wanted!

Email toast notifcations?

I've tried searching in mail settings, and then in app settings but i couldn't find anything regarding notifications for emails (other than playing a sound). But when i'm in the browser, or another app...i dont get any toast notifications. Is this just an OS thing right now, or have a missed a setting somewhere?

[Q] Delivery report notification?

Does anyone know how to stop the notification for delivery report or at change the tone? Right now it is set to the same tone as my sms notification and I can't seem to find a way to change it. It's really annoying because I always think I get a text but it is the delivery report. I would just change to a third party sms app but I like how my sms show up on the lock screen with the stock app. Any suggestions?
If you go into Settings in Messages you can set the notification tone for received messages and if you scroll further down you can disable the notifications for sent and failed messages and also set a different notification tone than your received one.
Sorry for the long run on sentence. My brain isn't functioning too well today.

Yeah, the notification for sent message is off right now. There doesn't appear to be an option for delivery notification which is different from sent message. It's the little checkbox thing next to texts when you send an sms to people on the same carrier.
Found it (maybe?). Settings, Text messages (SMS), deselect Delivery Reports. Also appears to have it under Multimedia Messages.
Yeah I still want the delivery report icon next to my texts, I just don't want a notification. If I uncheck it I lose them completely. That's how it has been for every other sms app I have used. I guess I'll have to just live without them.

Flash notifications

Hi,
I'm wondering if there's any way to enable flash notifications for all notifications rather than just incoming calls and text messages.
I'd like to use it for emails and messenger. Any ideas?
Anyone? I'm sure it's something useful for many people.

Emergency Alerts

Is there any way to suppress or at least silence emergency alerts on the A50? The options in Messages are all greyed out, and I already tried turning off notifications for Messages entirely. I wouldn't mind if it was just vibrating, but I hate the loud alarm...
I'm using an A505G on T-Mobile in the US.
disable messages and install another one like the one from Google.

I have notifications for the stock Messages app blocked (I use Textra as default now) and it looks like the Messages app can't be entirely disabled-- the option is greyed out.
