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.

OK, got ChompSMS and now can uninstall SMSPopup as Chomp pretty much does the same thing. Great app.

Notification icons

Hay guys, this is my first real post outside of a few comments or thanks here or there so Ill try and make it good.
My question is this, I recently downloaded handcent sms and I rather like it, however I find it frustrating to get two text announcent icons in my notification bar. Is there anyway to remove the stock alert that anyone knows of?

Turn off notifications in the Messages app menu.

Ooh Shibby! Thanks, I totally didnt even consider that >_<

[Q] Second annoying SMS notification, anyone else?

So out of the blue I received a text message and got the standard notification from the sms app, but I also got a second notification I hadn't received before. Its the envelope icon from cupcake I believe, and it alers of unread messages and links to the standard sms app just like the black smiley icon does. Thing is, it doesn't go away after replying or reading and I find it really annoying. Tried installing and uninstalling handcent and chompsms hoping for a fix and nothing. Also defaulted the stock sms app to no desired results.
Anyone know how to stop/remove this?

If you have installed any app for sms "like handcent", then you will have to go to the settings of either one you dont want and turnf off the alerts. That way only one will notify you

Yup. You gotta go into your stock messenger and menu then uncheck notifications.

That's the thing, even by disabling all other notifications, it still shows up. And its I'm using hancent at the moment, that notification shows as well as the second one (which links to the stock android sms app)
Here's how its set up regarding notifications:
Stock sms app: all notifications off
Hancent sms: green smiley notification set up
And still this mysterious second notification linking to the stock sms app still appears.

I had that same problem on my device too. I had to do a factory reset and it fixed the problem.
Make sure you back up your apps before doing it.

Aparently that notification its not from stock. Maybe something else you have elsewhere. See if you can identify the icon and that way maybe you can tell what it is.

Ding ding ding we have a winner. I had to change this for my wife. I don't know why you can't access the sms options through the main beautiful widgets settings. Very annoying. I went through every setting option looking for this!

Been having this problem too, and I have BW. But for the life of me I can't find the BW sms widget??

Missed call/sms/email recommendations

Hi
just wondering if anyone could point me to some good missed call/sms/email notifications? I tried noled but find that it kills my battery.
Ideally i would like either of the following>
Either something showing like
o missed calls
3 missed sms
5 unread email
or
a email logo with like 5 in a small circle (depicting missed email)
a sms logo with like 3 in a small circle (depicting missed sms)
etc
Any help really appreciated. Thanks

Try with "Missed it!"

I didnt manage to get work the Google Talk notifications just the Mail, SMS and Emails...

this program isnt bad at all
you also could try those home programs like ADWlauncher etc as you can customize them accordingly

Just a shame that Missed it only works with google email as i have just found out

MissedIt (at least in the latest version 1.4.0) works with all email clients which support notification, e.g K9.
Every app that uses notifications can be displayed (now).

I use the widget "SMS Unread Count", the thing for calls, mails and sms. works perfectly, but also miss the notification for gtalk...
when dragging the widget to homescreen, you'll have the possibility to change the icon, to give them a title... decide which "notification" size to choose–there are two options, small and large. zero's could also be displayed by choice.

a app called "missed it!" is what you looking for

Not that it only kills your battery but it severely speeds up the degradation on the screen even if its just black. A lit screen will degrade faster than a totally off screen.

Thanks brendo.
I assume this could be done for Facebook and Twitter???

yeah, anything with a notification (a number that dispays on the icon). ive seen it done with facebook, wish i could do it with ebay

Notifications

Soo, hello guys. I have some questions about A5 2017. The first one is why my notifications are like in short cut. I mean when someone ia typing via messenger, on lockcreen i see only the app, i have to click on it so i can see who is typing me. Or if i have some notifications from facebook i see only facebook, and again i have to click it to see the notifications. And the second question is why the English keyboard can work without the numbers on the top of the keyboard layout but my Bulgatian Phonetic is with those numbers and i cant stop them..

1) In android, notifications are not expanded by default, to conserve screen space.
2)I think that there is a setting for that, to show or hide numbers on top. You can find it on settings-language-keyboard
