Hi,
Question 1 - Is there a way to put your own sms notification sounds on the Desire, the ones that are on the phone aren't very loud and the sound they make is to short.
Question 2 - Is there a way to make the Desire vibrate more ( as in 'harder' ) and for longer. When I am at work I have my phone set on vibrate, when it's in its case and in my pocket I cannot even feel it when I get a call or sms etc.
Regards, Chris.
Add a folder on the SD card. Media-audio-notifications. Put you're files in there and reboot.

Hi,
Sorry to sound thick but do I make a complete new folder called Media-audio-notifications (complete with the 'dashes' between each bit) straight onto my sd card?
Regards, Chris.
Yes, you should create the following folder on your SD CArd:
\Media\audio\notifications\ - and copy your sound files there
Or you can yous Ringdroid application to trim your sound files and save them either as notification, alarm or ringtone.
@CorruptedSanity - I've been using the "Receiving transmission" (heavy eastern European accent) sound file from Starcraft for a while now ;-)
Sorry, you first need to download a file explorer such as estrongs, and use that to create you're path.

you can just connect it to a pc as a drive and create the folders that way.
I have " master I have mail for you "...keeps me amused ...
Ringtone is Monty Python " sit on my face " ...... fab in work / meetings !!
How do you differentiate between notifications, so you can have different sounds for SMS received, missed call etc.
Actually I only want SMS/MMS received, I don't want sounds for any other notifications
Thanks
Eric

You still need to put them in the notifications folder. Then open yer messaging app, go to settings, then select the tone you want as an sms tone.

With regards to the Vibrate function, If you download handcent in the settings there is an option to customise the vibrate pattern with a few defaults to work with.
Hmm regarding this missing vibratefunction for incomeing sms:
I have the problem too but discovered that I had turned the vibratefunction off under message settings.
But the reason why I did this is that I don't want the phone to vibrate when it's not in vibrate-only-mode (not the normal and not the total silence no sound at all)
So as I see it there are 2 possible vibrate settings in Android 2.1 (hopefully there is a third you can tell me... ;-) )
1. No vibrations what so ever
2. Vibrations all the time - even when the phone is in the normal profile...
Isn't there a third - vibrate only in vibrate-profile...???
Please help me with this
It's either total vibration all the time or absolute silence...
Is there a way to set the Desire to ring notification sounds every 5 minutes until I unlock the display?
When I received a message it rings one time ...
Search for an app called "rings extended" in the android market, it wont open as an app but it changes the audio selection so you can open your sd card or music gallery when selecting a ringtone or sms alert.

I also need the third option. I am a long time Windows Mobile user and I am used to having vibration for all notifications when I turn on the vibrate mode. On my Desire, when I change my profile to vibrate, incoming calls vibrate but other sound notifications like sms and email is just silent.
I want all the notifications to vibrate when I change to vibrate profile. Is there an easy way to do this in Android?

This is what I'd like to.
For my She Sells Sanctuary into tome
When I used to select ringtones I had an option between HTC app or a ringtone app. I accidentally hit the wrong one with remember this choice checked. How can I change that so it asks me again?
goto settings, hit applications, manage applications, all, scroll down to com.htc, press clear defaults the press force stop it should be reset next time you chose a ringtone it will give you the choice of you htc app or ringtone app
Thank You, That worked
No problem glade it did

On your phone to go: Menu, Settings, Personalize (or hit the Personalize button from the home screen).
At the bottom, where it says "Personalize Sound", hit "Notification Sound"
On this menu you can set the sounds for the following notifications:
Default Notification
Message
Calendar
Email
Hope that helps.

Awesome!
thanks guys for the quick responce.
i kept missing that option.
Is anyone else experiencing issues with push notifications on our device i have never had one on stock or cyan has anyone got it to work???
Notifications show up on my lock screen but no alert or sound to tell me that they have arrived?
Go to the main screen where you can access your news feeds,profile,friends,chat,messages etc and press the menu button to get into settings.
Once there turn on anything you want to be alerted for and set a ringtone for it.

Lol i gather your on about the official app i have done all that just cannot get it work nothing at all comes through?
are you sure you click on a ringtone not "silent" one? and check your ringtone noise in the sound settings in the actuall settings app.
I can't find option to set separate notification sound in messages app settings. It can be done in general sound settings but causes setting the same sound to all notifications.
Open your message app
Next tap on the person message you want to customize the notification sound
Next tap on the 3 dots on the top right corner and select custom notification and tap one more time to enter the customized field
There look for sound
Thats it
Hope this helps

I think he means he wants a different notification sound for messages , Telegram Hangouts, WhatsApp etc. Atm its the same notification sound for all messaging style apps with no way to change it
My WhatsApp ringer is different than the phone. I use textra so all my contacts that i frequently message have different sounds and icons (this is due to the app).
I dont use hangouts so cant comment on that...
