In my settings from home screen under personalize i goto notifications sound.
I set them all different but they all play the default notification.
Any work around or is anybody else having this.

So you can set them to different sounds.

default
message
calendar
email

I have them all different but they all play the default.

I generally set the main notification sound within the settings menu and that's it. I set the other notifications (G-Mail, SMS, Google Voice) within their own menu's. For example, go to G-Mail > Menu Button > Settings and change the notification tone within there.

Note: I've heard you cannot create a custom tone for basic e-mail.

I had this happen when I changed the main ringtone, it set everything to that and had to go into each app and change the setting that way

it seems in the gmail accounts I can change tone to a song but not hotmail. I down loaded astro file manager(free) added songs to a file I made (notifications) on the sd card ,just like file for ring tones and put a song in there and gmail will let me pick that song for my choice. I dont know why the hotmail account settings doesn't show the notification sounds to choose others

That's one of the complaints about this phone and I believe HTC Sense or even possibly Android in general. You can't change the notification sound for an e-mail address not associated with G-Mail.

I did not get mine to work with the above post, i did get it working by opening up
the message folder and then - menu / settings / notifications for mms/sms for one of them . Then scroll down to voicemail and notification sound.

change them both in there:
just make sure you have on the root of your
sd card a folder named

Media


inside of the media folder have 3 more folders named


alarms
notifications
ringtones

put the sounds or ringtones you want for sms and mms and voice mail
in the notifications folder

put sounds for alarms for alarm clock and calendar appointments in alarms
and ringtones in ringtones

I was able to change my email sound to its own(by going into email then menu/ settings)

I was able to change my message to its own sound,
but its the same as voice mail.

And change the calendar sound to its own.(by calendar/menu. settings)

Still trying for separate sounds for sms, mms and voice mail.
Its still the same sound for all three. (messages)


I also changed the notification settings from home screen paint brush icon
in bottom right corner to match what i selected in the individual
application menu settings.


Hope this helps.

Rather than start a new thread. Is there a way to set custom SMS notifications per contact with this phone? I cant seem to find the setting.
