Desire email notification tone change

Hi guys,
Been doing a bit of searching, and can't find out if it's possible to choose a MP3 for email notifications. Could do it on the HD2 easy, and have a different tone for all notifications.
I can set a ringtone no probs, set the sms tone ok, just the email one I need a lift on.
Cheers
Darrin

did anyone find out how to do this ?

Not with the standard mail applications installed on the Desire. With K9mail it's possible.

of course you can do it.
Create a folder on the root of the sd card called 'notifications' (exactly like that but obviously without the quotes)
Put your MP3 in there.
In settings > sound and display, set the notification there. That is the setting that the default mail program uses.
then, to keep it different for SMS, go into the messaging application, and press menu>settings.
set the SMS tone there.
do the same in Google mail. open, menu, settings, set tone for google mail
this is extremely simple because nearly all programs have their own notification settings, and only the mail program seems to use the default one in settings.
how much more simple can it be?

That's a workaround, which i did actually know, but it doesnt alter the fact that you have the same tone for all other default notifictions, as well as the mail notifications.....

I just got my Desire HD and that seems to work for the the likes of GMAIL etc but Exchange just has this little beep and I can't see how to change this?

Post in the Desire HD forum for a start

Ok to V8Dave Eddy is correct as this may or may not work with your phone you are welcome to try it but if it doesn't might be better for you to get an answer in the DHD forum..
Anywho ---- There are 2 different notifications within the system that you can set .. The first is in settings>sound>notifications --- please note this will work for everything on your phone that needs a notification -- unless selected differently by program.. Your email will now have this notification .. To ensure it works start mail menu(hard button)>more>settings and turn the notification sound on
The second is hidden within the SMS app itself so start message>menu(hard button)>notification sound.. the SMS will now have a different sound to other notifications you may also be able to do the same with other apps i haven't checked them to be honest...
Now it should play seperate tones for sms and email and you can set your ringtone differently too ..
If that fails download LED me know http://www.xda-developers.com/android/customise-notifications-with-led-me-know/ from the market That should enable different notifications for several apps in one go

CM7 stable build

Can someone please help me out? I can send text messages and all but I only receive them with Google voice for some reason. I've looked everywhere for the settings to change it to the default application for texting but can't find anything =/

Go to the website and delete the account. Then when you make a new one don't combine it with your sprint account.

Looks like that worked out for me. Thanks a lot man =)

Also when using google voice, in the setup don't choose the use a text client.

You can integrate Google Voice and still use your stock messaging app (or whatever app you want). That way you keep the other functionality of Google Voice if you want it. The only problem is you'll have to receive voicemail notifications via text instead of a status bar notification. Google Voice does not give you an option to be notified of voicemails only . Here's how you do it:
Once you have Google Voice setup with Sprint integration...
1. Open Google Voice and press settings.
2. Select "Sync and notifications".
3. Uncheck "Inbox Notifications".
-Yes, this will cause Google Voice to no longer give you status bar notifications
4. Check "Text messages" to tell Google Voice to notify you of voicemails via text message. It will warn you that you will get duplicate notifications, but you can just click "Ok" because you're not going to.
5. This last step is very important - Go to voice.google.com -> voice settings and click "edit" by your google voice enabled phone number. Make sure the box that says "Receive text messages on this phone" is checked.

Getting Vlingo SafeReader to work

Hey guys, did anyone manage to get the Vlingo car mode to read back text messages or emails? Could you post your configurations from settings > voice input and output > voice recognition choice? Mine isn't saying anything. I have Go SMS messenger if that helps.

Just started looking into it myself and it seems that Vlingo doesn't work well with third-party messengers. I also have Go SMS and not only will it not read or write texts in it, when I say "open Go SMS" it opens messenger.

Yep found that out the hard way you have to have stock messenger only fourth it to work.

[Q] Showing just the Contacts which have PHONE NUMBERS?

Hi.
New to ICS.
in previous roms, I used to chose to show only the contacts who had phone numbers.
Is there no way of doing this in ICS?
THanks

In addition to the solution in that thread (custom contact group that you then choose to display), the dialer app will automatically apply this filter (you can use the same menu path as the people app to further filter which contact group you want to use) to anything you ask it to display. The only catch being that if your intent is to send texts, not make a phone call, your only option is to tap the contact's picture (twice) and launch into the people app.
Shame that the functionality of the dialer app isn't just included as an option in the people app. I use a custom list but I find that I often forget to add people to it when I'm standing in front of them getting their number, so I just make a habit of visiting my google contacts page every so often on my computer and running down the list, looking for contacts with numbers but without my custom label.

How can i change my notification tones for specific contacts ?

On my Galaxy S4 it was easy as pie just going into my contacts and i can select a different tone for each person, each call or text etc. But all i see is one tone for all texts and that also includes app updates and stuff

This is really easy to do. Open an individual contact, click on the edit button up the top (looks like a pencil). Scroll about halfway down, and there's a Ringtone option. you can choose a ringtone from the list here.

That is not changing their specific TEXT tone

I don't see it under stock messaging (maybe because I'm not using it as default) but in Google Hangouts you can open a contact, open the ... menu (upper right) select People & options, and change the "Chat message sound"
If using Hangouts as messaging, I'd turn off auto retrieve MMS until the MMS Trojan horse exploit is patched.

Kinda a hassle for something that has been standard/basic for a while.
Its this just a LG issue?

Sorry, didn't notice you'd meant text notification. Don't think it's possible.
