Re: why do bells keep going off

Hello.
A recent blow to the head?

OK, sorry.

If you are new to a Samsung, there are a variety of places a bell or notification sound can be on by default, unfortunately.

Sound Settings, Sound - Samsung aplications for Call, Message, Email, S-Planner; Google Calendar, EMail app, Gmail app, other email apps, Play Store, alarm, any app, where do I stop. Try to go to settings on the app or email menu.

I don't think people are harassed for long though. It's not as bad as I make out.
We can take you through ones you can't find, i.e. without a notification icon as well.
I think sliding the Notifications slider in Volume should keep most quiet to start with.

I also think I am forgetting more obvious advice, so you should get more ideas.
