When I get an SMS notification, I get the generic notification sound that the rest of the apps on my phone use. Despite setting a specific notification for SMS in the sound settings, it never seems to matter and I only get the one that is the generic notification sound universally across the phone. I am using Textra, if it matters.

I can't seem to get a notification sound for incoming text, only vibrates. I've tried setting ringtone after ringtone for notification sounds with no success, can anyone help?
I have changed the message notification settings (Handcent and Messages) numerous times without any luck. I use Handcent as the default.
Have you checked your profile setting? Like if you'r eon silent, it won't ring. Or if you're using another app that'll override it.
Yes, I'm on "normal" in the sound profile settings. The phone rings fine, I get my sound alerts for email, voicemail etc and it is all correct. Notification sounds for incoming text is the only sound not working correctly, only vibrates on incoming text.

Hi guys, is it only me who have problems with notification sounds on Arc?
I love the phone in general but this particular feature is implemented horrible in my opinion.
There is only one notification sounds switch for all such sounds in Settings -> Sound -> Notification Ringtone.
If it's on the phone beeps every time when I get an email. This is very annoying, especially if you have many email accounts set up. If I turn it off it doesn't make any sound notification for calendar events which sucks.
Sms beeps still work when notifications are off, I don't really understand how it works and how to change it.
What do you guys do about it? Is it possible to have sms and calendar notification (better different sounds) and at the same time turn email sounds off?
Thanks.
EDIT.
Ok, I actually found what I was looking for. Sms application and calendar have their own settings for sound notifications. Haven't seen them before.
I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and after changing my text notification in the SMS settings it plays the notification I changed it to, and then play another notification sound directly after. Even if I change my default notification in settings, or the SMS notification to silent, it still plays this other notification sound. Help?

Stock notifications? Or u installed 3rd party?
I hope there's an answer to this...
In Gingerbread I had my PhoneCall and SMS notification sound different from Email notifications / Facebook.
My basic set up was:
Phone - Ring Always
SMS - Sound Always (and Buzz)
Email - Buzz - no sound
Facebook - nothing.This way I more or less didn't need to change my settings every (except in meetings when I'd sometimes slide it to silent (buzz only)
Maybe I'm going missing something obvious (I hope I am) but ICS seems to have broken this functionality. I couldn't find any notification setting specific to GMail, and I can't find any way of separating out SMS and Email notifications (Without 3rd party apps).
Can I do this in ICS?
If not, Google have quietly been working evil...
You might need to set the notifications in the individual apps. For me, it's only ever had sms and ringtone options in the standard settings

Thanks, That was my first thought... I understand that this was google's rationale for the change that they made in ICS - from the core OS point of view, a notification is a notification (whatever generates it), and its up to the individual app to allow you to configure specific sounds. So far so good (if tedious compared to gingerbread). BUT... the Gmail app doesn't allow you to configure notifications. Perhaps the answer is to try a different email app, and configure it to play a silent MP3 file.
I use tasker to create custom notifications for each app.
Contacts have customised sms tones and certain apps will only vibrate once.
I've also used it to lower volumes in games automatically and enable rotation only in gallery
It doesn't matter what I do. I've tried every single thing I've found on here. No matter what I set the notification sounds to in handcent & gmail, the notification sound that plays is the system default notification sound. Even if I set it to silent the default always plays. I want to be able to distinguish the difference of when I get a text & an email. Someone please help!!! I've been sitting here for over 3 hours trying to get this to work right. What can I do to fix this?
