N8 - Can you disable email notification sound

Hi all, Had this phone for about 3 days & its sending me insane.  It gives me a loud beep every time I get an email, usually 4 -5 times through the night.  ( My wife, alias "why did'nt you get an Iphone like mine") is not impresed.  When I go into main menu settings, I can press about 3 to 4 differents icons eg - settings > phone>voice commands > settings & then it goes in voice mode & I can't do a thing with it.  How can I get rid of voice commands & turn off my email notification,
Thanks Rob

I realise that you have 'accepted' a solution to your problem but I would like to suggest an alternative.
There is a Free application on Ovi suite called Nokia Situations.  This allows you to set up different profiles for different situations.
I have a profile that I called Night Time which I have set Nokia Situations to activate at 11pm and deactivate at 8am.  In this profile I have turned all sounds off apart from allowing the phone to ring if a member of my family calls.  I also get it to turn off Bluetooth during the Night Time profile and other battery saving things.  Nokia situations is very comprehensive and I guess I only use a small percentage of its features but I think it is superb. 
I used to have to remember to switch to Night Time profile late at night and then back to General in the morning.  Now, it is all automatic.
Hope this helps.
History: Always Nokia since 1994 including Nokia 2140, 7110e, 6150, 6210, 6310i, 6230i, N82

    The only option you have is to put the phone on mute using the side control when you answer the phone.

  • How can I disable the notification sound for remaining credit messages

    My operator sends me a message after every call and text which tells me what remains of my monthly allowances. This is very useful and I don't want to turn it off. I've just got myself a Z10 and the only thing that annoys me about it is that I have not yet found out how to disable the notification sound for this type of message. The device is stock with the latest firmware and no apps.
    I can change the notification for normal text messages in the settings, but there is no obvious entry to change for these messages. Does anyone know how to do it?

    If the message comes in the (bell) notifications it can only be switched OFF globally.
    If it is a text message, you can create a contact with the number, then Setting - Notifications - Contacts - Customise - Phone Calls, Email Messages, Text Messages, Other Messaging

  • Can I change the email notification sound?

    I can't hear the email notification sound on my iPhone. Is there a way to customize it? I have it turned up as loud as it will go, but, if I'm out somewhere, and my phone is in the holster, I can't hear it!
    Any help would be appreciated!!

    Hi Stephanie,
    The email sound options are in Settings> Sounds. There is no option to change the tone.
    You can leave iPhone feedback requesting a feature be modified here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

    OS4: Can I change the incoming email notification sound???
    I installed OS4 but still cant seem to.
    HOW CAN I CHANGE MY INCOMING EMAIL ALERT SOUND???

    Apparantly Apple have yet to realize that people like to customize their handsets.
    I had an HP in 2001 and it had fully customized sounds.
    It also had the option of a calendar on the Wallpaper - one of the most important features of a business handset.
    OS4 on IPhone and yet the only way of someone getting these important features is to JB it. This is my 3rd Iphone and I won't be getting an IPhone 4, 5 or 6 until an OS update unlocks that wallpaper for a calendar.

  • New Email Notification Sound

    Hi,
    These Apple devices are getting a little popular. At my workplace I always hear the same old "ding" everytimes someone gets an email so a number of us reach for our devices to see which one it was for.
    We are up to iOS4 so I imagine it is a choice to not allow configurable notification sounds. What possible (sensible) reason can there be?! It isn't exactly a complext feature.
    The renowned Apple consistancy in operation is good but not for notifications. thats just confusing.

    You can change your email alert sounds through the use of a free app. Download Boxcar from the app store, and have it alert you when an email arrives with one of its sounds. You can then turn off the email received sound in the settings on the iPad.
    We do this in my house with 3 iphones and 2 ipads constantly dinging. Each person has a unique email arrival sound.

  • Email notification sound despite sound is on mute

    Why does my Retina iPad give email notification sound despite sound is on mute? My 1st generation iPad does not produce any sound if it's on mute.

    Are you sure that you have system sounds muted? Either the side switch or the task bar (double tap the home button and swipe to the right in the task bar to get to whatever icon is all the way to the left - sound or rotation lock) is how you mute system sounds.
    You could try Settings>General>Sounds>New Mail>None as well and that should turn off the sound. Just make sure that you do have system sounds muted first.
    This is my standard and somewhat long winded explanation regarding system sounds and the screen rotation lock.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Can you disable the home button?

    My Ipod will close apps and go to the home screen for no reason.  Can you disable the home button/function to prevent this from happening?

    http://nealbo.hubpages.com/hub/Recalibrate-Unresponsive-iPhone-Home-Button
    Step 1: Open a stock iPhone app. e.g. Apples Stocks, Weather, SMS, Email etc.
    Step 2: Press and hold the power button until the swipe to power off screen appears.
    Step 3: Let go of the iPhone's power button
    Step 4: Press and hold the iPhone's home button. Do not let go until the power off screen disappears.
    And that's it, your home button is recalibrated and should hopefully now be more responsive.
    This seemed to make it better, but not fixed.

  • Who can we send email notification

    hi,
    we had create user and provide access to the groups using the maxl scripts in the shell scripts.
    how can we send email notification for an user after access has been granted to the user using Maxl scripts in shell scripts, and if the user is not created due to error we should not send email to the user.
    the user email id will be in the table.
    Thanks ,

    Hi Rajasekar,
    Actually, when the workitem is manually forwarded to the correct agent, the mail should also be sent to the correct agent explicitly. Usually this happens quiet rarely.
    You can see the new Agent(Forwarded Agent) in the Workflow Log. I think you can even get the forwarded agent in SWWWIHEAD table. Check this out.
    You dont have to change any coding in WD Side.

  • How do you disable the Notification Center in iOS 8?

    How do you disable the Notification Center in iOS 8?  It seems the update has killed this ability.

    Are you in the "today" or "notifications" part of notification center?
    Settings--notifications works for the notifications part but doesn't control the today part of notification center. For that you have to drag down notification center, tap on today, and choose edit from the bottom. From there you can turn off widgets, activate new ones, and change the display order.

  • Can you disable the camera from the lock screen? iOS8.0.2

    I have a brand new iPhone 6, updated to iOS 8.0.2 and my friends like to steal my phone and take HUNDREDS of photos and that takes up a lot of space. And my question is: can you disable the camera option on the lock screen only. I know you can do it with restrictions but I don't want to loose full camera options. Just from the lock screen. Thanks!

    I agree with the don't let them steal your phone part. But these friends aren't the friends that they sound like. Plus, this wasn't very helpful. But thank you for the "response"
