i'm ok with being an idiot, but i can't seem to figure out how to get my incoming texts to give me a buzz on either the phone or samsung watch.
allow all notifications
they're all allowed, google messages thing. i might have to reinstall i guess. i see the notification on my screen and watch, but definitely don't get a buzz or a blip sound
oh, maybe because i have messages for web syncd and open
nope
Do you get other notification sounds?
yes, i'd hate reinstall it....but it might be about that time
Do you use the default Google message app?
Did you set a custom notification sound for text messages?
solved

I get a double notification sound every time i get a text message. The first sound is the one i chose in handcent. The second sound occures 1 second after the first, and its the default notification sound("look at me").
Ive tried unchecking everything in the default messaging app. Ive tried going into settings>sound& display> notification ringtone> silent. Restarting phone after setting these things. And still no fix. I still get the double notification sounds. The 1st i want. The second default sound doesnt go away.
Before I made this thread i did research around the web about this and tried every suggestion. I still have the problem.
Any other suggestions?
also: my phone is not rooted
Wow. Never heard of that... I really don't know what to say.
Root.
Go to messaging app, settings, then just UNCHECK notifications. That should be it. I've had tons of Android phones and use all kinds of 3rd party SMS app, and have no issues.
Make sure you don't have some other SMS app or message notification app also running giving notifications. (missed call, sms popup, chompsms, trackball alert, sms count widget, etc..)

Yeah "nothing" is checked in the default messaging app.
I tried to install chomp to see if it was handcent and it did it with chomp too.
Edit: I found the issue!
Thanks for suggesting about looking for any app that had anything to do with messaging or ringer tones. It was a rarely used app i have called "ringo pro"
I changed the appropriate settings and now everything is fine.
Thank you
I know this has probably been answered a billion times already, but I can't get the voicemail to go away on aospCMod. I already flashed Google Voice and changed the voicemail number to my own, but the notification still pops up every 3-5 minutes. How do I go about getting rid of it?
You mean you don't want a voicemail at all?
No. I still want voice mail, I just don't want the ghost voice mail notification popping up
Ah, the old phantom texts. Haven't seen that in years. I can't give you a direct link since I'm using the app, but search for the SMS Char Limit thread. It has a solution there. Or you can get a program to block those texts; which at the moment the name escapes me.
And that's really odd for you to still receive those if Google is taking your voice mails.
Super Private Conversation (SPC) from the market. Block the text number in the program and you still get the texts, so VVM still works, but you don't get notifications and your message box doesn't fill up with them.
Try that and see if it works.
Well no, it's not the 9016 texts. Have them blocked with handcent. I mean the ones where if you're on a non sense rom you get a vm notification. It says to call *86 to get the voicemail. But if you do it says it's an invalid number or something. I read somewhere that if you change the number to your own number it fixes...which it didn't.
Nevermind. Found a fix. Since I have Gingerbread there is an option to turn off voicemail notifications. Can't believe I didn't see that.
Where is this option at ? Mine always says I have 8 voicemails, and drives me insane !
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I think it's only on aospCMod, but you go into Settings>Call settings and scroll down and turn off voicemail notifications. I use Google Voice which gives notifications from the app itself, not from the phone app, so they stop
Think I've found a bug with the Gnote.
I have 2 email accounts on my Gnote and have set different notification tones for each of them. I have downloaded the Zedge App and set another notification tone for my text messages......
Now, if I receive an email in my google mail account, I get a notification sound to let me know, followed seconds later by a notification to tell me I have a new text message!!!! I even get the "M" symbol appear in the notification bar at the top of the Gnote screen. Needless to say, I do not have any new text messages when this happens!!
I have tried all sorts to stop this by resetting notifications etc and starting again but I can replicate the problem by cleaning out my google mail account and sending myself another mail. The first new mail into the google mail account triggers the effect. I thought I had stopped the problem by turning off all email notifications but this was a false positive. Later in the evening I got a new text message notification, only to find out it was actually a new email in my google ail account again.
This is driving me bonkers as I am expecting an important text message at the mo.
Am I missing something in the settings, or is this a genuine fault?
When I get a text notification, I will read it on the watch. If I then open the text on my phone, it sends me a second notification.
To be fair, I am using goSMS and not the built in messaging app.
Anyone know how to stop this?
Is there a way to have a different Messages notification tone than the default notification tone?
Many thanks!
Same question! I can't even change sound notifications from gmail and google allo?
Same for Twitter lol
Having the same .. would like to have different sound notifications in gmail and messages. I seem to be able to do it in WhatsApp, but everywhere else it use system default sound
It is extremely extremely annoying. To solve this, I am using Textra instead of stock messages. You might like it and it has , of course, the option of changing the sound. I wouldnt even consider that a 2018 flagship doesnt have that option...

You can change the notification sounds in Gmail. I have three email accounts setup in the Gmail app.
Goto:-
- Gmail settings
- General settings
- Manage notifications
- Click the text area that says 'Normal: Allow these notifications to make sounds' (not the button)
- Sound
Thanks, havent found that before
