Text vs Email Notification

Is there anyway to have a separate ringtone for text messages and email notifications and if so how do I set this up.
Regards,
John

Hi John -
Yes, it is quite possible to do this.
By default the phone uses a single "notification" sound that is set by clicking Menu -> Settings -> Sounds -> Notification Ringtone.
If you open the text messaging application, and click Menu -> Messaging Settings -> Select Ringtone you can specify an "override" of the default notification sound.
Additionally, if you start the email application and click Menu -> Email Settings -> Notifications -> Select Ringtone you can specify an "override" of the default notification sound.

Why can't I set my downloaded .dm ringtones as text and email notifications?

I have an HTC Incredible 2; I paid for and downloaded several ringtones from the Verizon store, two of which I wanted to specifically use as the text and email notification sounds. I then had the already discussed problem of not being able to find the newly downloaded ringtones immediately, but from the postings on here and the Adriod forums, I followed the directions to set up the folders titled Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms on my sdcard, and moved the downloaded ringtones into their respective folders. When I opened up the Personalize menu, under Sounds I was immediately able to find the ringtones I'd placed in the ringtone folder, but my phone wouldn't recognize the ringtons I'd placed in the Notifications folder.
I downloaded the app Zedge, downloaded specific Notification sounds (.mp3, and they work). I also downloaded .mp3 ringtones and then moved them into the Notifications folders, and THAT worked. The problem seems to be that these are .dm files? Is my phone unable to read .dm files as Notification sounds? Or is there something I missed? Something else I can do?
I looked all over for software that will convert .dm files to .mp3, found a suggestion calling for the deletion of a couple of the lines of code from within the .dm file using Notebook ++, but that didn't work. I don't remember seeing anywhere in the store that these ringtone files come in the protected .dm filetype; that many players will not be able to play them, and that I won't be able to use them for notification sounds?
Ay one have any suggestions? Verizon: am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Usually when you purchase ringtones from the Verizon store, you can only use them as ringtones. Since you have a smartphone, an app would be the best bet. You can find almost any song you're looking for in a free ringtone app, there's no need to purchase them.

Why am I all of a sudden getting all my text and email notifications in Spanish? How do I change back to English? Can't find in profile settings?!

elliew,
That's a great point! If all other messages and apps on your phone are in English, the preferred language may need to be updated on your account. If this is the case for any of our customers, just reach out to our customer support team at 800-922-0204 or http://vz.to/1vsIHJq .

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

Receiving text and email notifications while on call

While I'm on a call, I receive text and email notifications (by a sound and a buzz). Is there a way to shut this off, as it's annoying when there are multiple messages coming through.

Sure; go to settings > sounds and set "new text" and "new VM" to off.
Of course this turns them off ALL the time; your only choice ( I am sure there is a hack for this oversight out there somewhere, though)
This is not a business class smartphone ; its an iPhone.

After upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4S except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried rebooting?

Following upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4s except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried a wipe and reinstall, I've tried hard rebooting, I tried erasing all of my music and reinstalling it, I checked my Do Not Disturb, and I tried the AssistiveTouch mute button. Nothing. I can't even play music through bluetooth or headphones. Can anyone help please as its driving me mad!

I experience this problem too. I am using iPhone4 and just upgrade it to iOS7. And now I can not make outgoing call. I checked all the setting, and nothing wrong. I even replaced my sim card with the new one, still can not help.
I read this link

and I try dial *#31#, it help, but not permanent solution.

Is there any way to turn off text and email notifications during phone calls?

The notification is very annoying when I am on a call. The person I am speaking to can hear when I get a text or email. Please help!

It should but I haven't tested all types of alerts yet. If it doesn't you can contact them. I contacted them about 3 weeks ago mentioning that it would be wonderful if they were able to add the mute feature during calls. They responded right away and said they'd work on it. I got an email from them earlier today letting me know about the new update. I have to say, that's what I call service! And I don't see any other App quite like theirs.

How can I direct alert sounds ( text mgs, email notification, etc ) to the phone speaker instead of being forced to hear it in my headset?

Before getting an iPhone 5s, I had a Blackberry. I have a Bluetooth headset that I like to use. On the blackberry, it would route call audio to the headset, but all other notification tones ( text message alerts, email alerts, etc. ) were heard over the phones integrated speaker. Now, when I pair the headset with the iPhone 5S, all sounds are forced to go to the headset and I have no flexibility to redirect them. This is important, because my headset is a pre-paired UC headset that simultaneously works with my PC. So, it is not always in an active state, rather it is listening for audio to come from my PC or my phone. This setup worked fine on my two year old blackberry. Why is the iPhone not able to offer the same flexibility??? Is there an app that can manage the sounds and direct them to the speaker instead of the Bluetooth headset?

No, iOS does not offer that option. You can offer Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

I dropped my iPhone in water for about 30 seconds. The sounds and everything works fine, and I'm getting all text and email notifications however the screen is black. Also, I can see water that is stuck in the camera. I have the phone in a bag of rice

Dropped my phone in water. Sound and vibrations are working but screen won't turn on. I can see a little water in the camera. I currently have the phone in a bag of rice. HELP! :)

Leave it in the rice for 6 or 7 days changing rice even couple of days.
If after that it still doesn't work take it to Apple and purchase an out of warranty rteplacement for it.

Vonage email notifications and Apple Mail client

Vonage provides a very nice feature in which, as soon as someone leaves a voice mail message, Vonage sends out an email notification to up to five different email addresses, in addition to sending a text message to a cell phone alerting you that someone has left you a voice message on your Vonage phone. Besides getting just a text-based email notification, you can also opt to have Vonage attach a .WAV file to the email it sends to those email accounts you list in your account settings page on the Vonage web site. I think this is a great feature, because I have my iPhone set up to receive the text message, and I also configured my email accounts to receive the email notifications together with the attached .WAV file, so I can listen to the recorded voice mail messages right on the iPhone, without having to dial in to a Vonage number, or go to the Vonage web site to listen to the voice mail via a computer.
While the Vonage email notifications with the attached .WAV files arrive just fine in my mac.com and my aol.com email accounts, those same email messages are NOT being sent to my the roadrunner.com email account provided by Time-Warner cable, my Internet Service Provider.
When I brought this matter up the tech support people at Vonage, they theorized that the roadunner server might be blocking receipt of the emails sent by the Vonage server. However, the problem does not seem to be related to roadrunner.com, because those email messages actually do reside on the roadrunner server. I can see them all right, but only if I use a browser and check my messages via their Web Mail application. For some mysterious reason, my Apple Mail client is NOT receiving those messages, and I have no clue why that would be so.
Does anybody know what is going on here? Shouldn't Apple Mail be able to retrieve all the messages on the roadruner server? What could prevent Apple Mail from being able to do that? And, is there anything I can do to make those email notifications —with their attached .WAV files—show up in my Inbox in Apple Mail?
Since I thankfully receiving those email notifications at my mac.com and my aol.com accounts, this is not a mission-critical issue for me. It is merely one of one technical curiosity.

To close out this thread, about all I can say is that the issue does not seem to be related to Apple software or to my Internet Service Provider. It is a Vonage issue that can only be fixed by calling Vonage tech support and getting their programmer/technicians to do whatever it is that they to do on their end to configure their Vonage email notifications to function correctly. If something sneezes, as it did in regards to my account, then Vonage tech support is the first place to call.
I'll consider this issue "answered" now.

Text/Email notifications won't clear

I was having issues with my text/email notifications not clearing on the dock and was told I had to do a factory reset. So i did that and I was still having the problem after i set my phone up again. I found that once I went into the Developer Options and chose the option "Do not keep Activities," so I unchecked that box and it fixed the problem once i got a new message or restarted the phone and haven't had that problem since.

I don't have all the things that you list.
I have:
Actions
Receive email notifications (or not)----which I chose & hope that that works.
Bookmark this
I have already checked 'no' to all emails, which is NOT what I want. If there are more comments to my questions, I would like to see them, but there is no option for that. I have 2349 emails, certainly not related to MY question. (And I am NOT shouting... trying to make a point.
How can I keep up with what is going on in the Apple Support Community if I say NO to all of the emails?
And why can't we copy or cut & paste here????? If one copies or cuts it won't allow paste. It gives only options ot insert links & such???
How do you people keep up with this community IF you don't get a gazillion emails?
Thanks.

Different Ringtone Notifications for Text and Email

I would like to assign different ringtone notifications for texting and email, and if possible, different ringtones for each of my two email accounts. I need to see texts immediately, but not emails. Am picking up the phone 50 times a day so I don't miss a text, critical to my work. Could do this on Bb Storm, but can't figure out on Incredible. At a minimum, I would like to shutoff notification for email, and just get pinged for texts. Thanks!!

Well,
The default notification tone that you set in the Settings->Sound is for the default tone in the generic e-mail account and all other notifications. If you use the Gmail client, you can set your own personal ringtone in it's settings (Menu->Settings). In the messaging Application you can also set a custom notification sound from there as well (Menu->Settings)
As for different e-mail accounts using the same e-mail application, I don't think that is possible with the in stock app...tho I am not totally sure I haven't use it like that before.
Hope that helps!

Text and email sound notifications...........no options?

Incredible2 is my first smart phone so maybe I'm missing something here. Can't I customize the text and email alerts with my own sound or am I stuck with the options that are on the phone? Even with the volume turned up all the way I can't hear any alert unless the phone is out of my pocket and sitting right next to me. Any suggestions?

You can set a custom ringtone for text messages, email, gtalk, gmail, etc. by going into each app, press the menu button and select settings. There will be an option to change the ringtone.
For your own custom ringtones, place the mp3 or audio files in the following on the sd card. The "SD carddrive" is the root of the sd card or drive letter when it is plugged into the computer.
SD carddrive:\media\audio\ringtones
SD carddrive:\media\audio\notifications
SD carddrive:\media\audio\alarms
Once the files are in those folders, the phone will automatically found the files and list them in the ringtone selection list. You might have to reboot the phone to force a rescan of the sd card.

Email notification - Ok/Cancel text in the email

Hello ,
I am using oracle BPM 11g , have configured Human Task to send email notification to owner of the task .
Email gets sent correctly but in the body of email i am getting text as "OK/Cancel" (at the bottom of email )
Not sure how to remove this as i have not changed anything on email side ,just using default setting of Human task email notification .
Thanks
Rupesh

The patch 13335504 is in conflict with patch 14020440. So patch 14020440 solve a more critical bug in the ADF framework. Do know a workaround to mask this OKCancel without applying the patch?
