Different sounds for notifications

aaron580 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-25-2010, 08:10 PM

Is there a way to set different notification sounds for different things? Ive been looking and cant find a way to change the notification for gmail to be something different because its same as new text message and its really annoying. Something im missing here?

I have found the same thing. Notification sound in setting is for text and email. I can not find a way to set a different sound between the two.

You can use Ringdroid as well... It's free on the market and allows you to create your own rings, notifications, alarms, etc and save them as you desire...

One of the great free apps...!!!

It doesnt work that way with the email portion. It asks to put the default ringtone instead of a custom one.

But to the OP I know what youre talking about....what i did is i set the text sound by clicking messages and then hitting menu and settings, then under received messages sound. Set the email sound by hitting menu while at the home screen and then settings, then set the default notification sound to something different then the sms. Make sure you have your email accounts set to have a notification sound. Hope this helps!

You're telling me I can't set a custom notification for email? I do it all the time without a special app and its not the default one.

Like my profile shows..I have an EVO.

I just open my email app/click menu and then account settings and set my email notification sound there.
