Differentiating Notification sounds

[quantumiq]

Just had a quick simple question regarding notifications. When setting my notification sounds i have the following options

default notification
message
calender
email

I understand the last two, getting notification from calender or email but what falls under default and message? Is message limited just to SMS or does it also include like gtalk and other "message type programs?

Thanks!

I believe "message" refers to SMS/MMS. Default pretty much refers to anything that isn't SMS, calendar or email. I don't remember what GTalk uses.

FYI, these are just the defaults...usually you can also go into the individual apps and set "specific" alert tones...these are just the "defaults" for when an app has no other notification settings established. Your best bet if you want Google Talk to have a specific ringtone (for example), is to go to Google Talk, go into the settings, and change the notification sound.
