Email notification driving me nuts!

**andonakis** · 05-09-2011, 01:47 PM

My email notification is changing on me constantly. I change it to a different sound and it keeps going back to the droid sound. I can't believe it. I'm like laughing out loud out of frustration. So this is what I did to the suggestions I found searching for an answer.
1. I set the android sound to default, like one suggested.
2. I put the sounds in a separate folder called notifications in the root the sd card, like another suggested.
But still no success. The sound mysteriously goes back to the droid sound. Sometimes a few days later and sometimes sooner.
Does anyone have any solution to this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please clarify how you are changing the "email notification"?

I go into my bellsouth.net email, I go into email settings, I touch notifications, I than touch on select ringtone, than I choose my ringtone and touch ok.

Is it a custom ringtone or stock? If custom did you create a "Media" folder >Audio>Notifications?

It's custom. So create a "media" folder than an "audio" folder than "notification" and than put them all in the notification folder?

Yes, that's how mine is setup and it works perfectly. I have all my Blackberry notifications (imported) in there and they all show up.

On your X, go to Settings > Sounds > Notification ringtone > pick one (you can add to your available selections as per above)

Then, Settings > Sounds > Volume > Notification (set to whatever level you want)

This should take care of your issue.

Thanks. I will try this and see if this works.

I don't see where this would take care of the problem I'm having. The notification I set for my email mysteriously disappears and sets itself to the droid sound. Sometimes after a few days and sometimes after a few hours.

So, you're not gonna try it?...

If you are rooted, copy ringers to System / Media / Audio / Ringtones with Root Explorer and reboot resolve issue and then set ringer through email notification settings option,
