So my mom and I both got ourselves an S3 and she keeps complaining about the notification sounds.
Basically there's the ringtone, and then there's notification sounds for EVERYTHING including SMS. What she wants is to have a tone for SMS and another for calls, and the rest of the notifications silent (mail, facebook etc.)
I couldn't find an option to separate sms tones from the rest, so I'm at a loss.
I hope you can help me, as google proved to be utterly useless in this case
edit: A fix that does not include going into each app and making it silent. She has no patience.. at all.

You could use Go SMS, and set up the sms notification on there. Then make the default notification for everything else to be silent in the system sound settings. Works for me.

I did consider that, but the lack of patience and hate for something that's different (She's a former apple user -.-) might get in the way. I'll ask her though. Thanks ^^
Even better, as Go SMS has an iphone theme which will make it look just like what she's used to!

To have a separate alert tone for each you need to set the tone from inside the app itself, I.e open up your sms message app press menu key press settings scroll to the bottom where it says notifications and simply alter it from there. Hope I've helped you.

This is my second GS, and I never paid attention to it the first time, but now I am getting annoyed with it. Every time I receive a Text the phone plays 2 sounds as the alert. I've tried changing the notification sound, but it still plays the default sound plus my selected sound. So it plays the selected sound first, then the default chime right after.
Anyone knows how to make it stop doing this?
Are you using a 3rd party text app like Handcent or Chomp? If so you need to turn off notifications in the stock sms app.
No,
I'm using stock msg program.
I have this problem too. I only use the default messaging. I used to have hand scent but I deleted it and I still have this problem. Also I get two notifications on my bar and one of them stays there even after I read the text. Annoying!

Does anyone know of a way to turn off the notification sound when a text arrives? I don't mean the Text Messaging app notification, that's already off so there shouldn't be any sound but everytime I receive a text I still get a sound and vibrate which is coming from Settings > Sound Settings > Notification Ringtone (not the Text Messaging app settings).
If I use a 3rd party app (e.g. GoSMS) for texts I get double notifications, even when I turn off notifications for the stock messaging app. If I turn off the notification sound in Settings > Sound I don't get any sound at all.
Any ideas anyone? Hope you know what I mean, sorry if I haven't explained very well.
Grab and use the App "Simple sound profile widget" from the market.
That is one of my all time favorite Android apps ever! (plus its easy to use and free)
Hopefully that should help you out. If not, it's still a must have App anyway...

Thanks for coming to my assistance (again!) ccrows
I tried that app but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem, but really glad you mentioned it, it's definitely a really useful app to have.
It seems the stock android sound/vibrate notification is activated for any alert, in addition to whatever alert the individual app (i.e. text messaging/goSMS/email) uses, and I'm unable to separate them. I either have no notifications or two notifications
Is everyone else's phone the same? When you get a text message do you get two notifications (but not two messages)?
Many thanks
[EDIT] Problem solved, I feel like such an idiot! Every time I send/receive a text my carrier sends me a message with an update of my monthly allowance. I turned that off via their website and now no more double notifications. It was their message that was triggering the extra notification at the same time as the text messages.
Hey,
I like stock SMS app but one thing is a bit annoying - I like to have SMS delivery reports but I'd like to set for it other sound or mute it...
I set SMS sound, but I'd like to mute notification (SMS delivery) tone. As far I know I am not able to do this? Any hack perhaps?
Other SMS apps like Go SMS, Handcent I do not like, so they aren't being taken into consideration

Wha? This isn't hard... Open Messaging app, Menu > Settings, scroll to the bottom.
I wrote it would change SMS tone too which is pointless ;]

Yeah, I missed the part where he was specifically asking about just the delivery notification tone. Sorry OP.
I have recently moved to an S3 after years in iPhone land. Its been mostly great, the S3 is a way more open and powerful platform. However a coupe of small things are driving me nuts.
All I want is my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time for incoming calls. Vibrate and play a tone when an SMS is recieved and neither vibrate or play a tone when an email is recievied (but still pop up the icon in the notification area). Seems simple enough, but it appears to be impossible on the stock phone. The only setting covering vibration in the Sound menu is "Sound and Vibration" but if I tick this the damn phone vibrates for all notifications, even if I have the notification sound set as "Silent".
The most frustrating thing is that is seems vibration settings per app used to be there in the S2, but have been removed in the S3. Now the Messaging and Email Apps do not have a specific vibrate option, rather it is all controlled with the global "Sound and Vibration" option.
My other annoyance is there is no easy way to control the brightness from the notification area (with out installing a crappy app). Once again it appears the S2 had a slider right on the notification pulldown, but for some reason this was removed?!?
I have used up all my Google Fu and have no answers. Can anyone suggest how to do these seemingly simple things in the stock rom, or suggest an app or even rom that has these features.
Thanks.

You can fix that in the messaging app settings. Messaging -> Settings -> Notification Settings. Tick Notifications and then select a ringtone. If it is still not working then its a bug, try rebooting the phone.
Regarding brightness control, try the app Quicker in Google Play

Thanks for the suggestion.. it gets quite close to what i want if you use the status bar shortcut. Just wish it could put the slider *right on* the status bar.
I think that saying it's a mess is a bit melodramatic. I have mine set up exactly as you describe. Maybe you need to play with your in-app settings a bit more ...

Is anyone else having problems where your phone freezes for a few seconds when you recieve a sms while the phone is in use?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
If i were you i'd do a factory reset.
Before i got my phone i had heard issues where notifications either wouldnt appear or would appear even when there is no text and various other issues regarding sound etc
So to make sure i didnt get any of these issues as soon as i got my phone i didnt a factory reset straight away and i haven't had any issues.
I've set my phone to silent and vibrate. The SMS notification vibration duration is annoyingly long on the S3. Is there a way to shorten it?
I use volume control + pro, and everything is good.... Give it a try

I have exactly the same problem. Since i get a lot of mail every day, it's annoying to have vibration enabled, but disabling it in global settings disables it also for SMS :/ I don't think there is a way right now to leave it enabled for SMS only.

Same here, I set up mine almost exactly as he describe and no problem at all.
So after all this discussion, has anyone figured out how to disable just the vibrate alert for the stock email app? I still want notification in the taskbar, just no vibrate.

No problems at all. As has been said, you need to set your notifications in the in app settings, not the general sound settings on the phone.
To start, go into the phone settings and select sound, and then for notifications set it to silent. Leave sound and vibration as checked.
Then use your in app settings to set you sound and vibration for notifications. I haven't used the stock email app, I use the gmail app. You have to go into the settings for each individual app, but you can set a custom notification sound and vibration for each account. I tested this with two of mine, having vibration on for one and off for another then sent some mail. It vibrated for the account with vibration on, and did not vibrate for the one with vibration off.

OK, just out of interest sake I set up an email account using the stock email app and while it does have custom notification settings for each account, it does not give you the option to disable/enable vibration. So, to me, it appears you can not turn off the vibration in the stock email app without turning it off for the whole phone.
I would assume your only choice would be to use a third party email app if this is important to you.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I'm on stock everything and it works fine. Only thing I had to do is install an app to get some specific mp3 ringtones I had made. But I do have the option for different types of vibration for different contacts or groups, the silent mode works and the custom vibration also works.

1. Pull down the menu where you see notifications and can switch wifi gps etc. Off.
2. Enable the notifications by scrolling to the right and finding the ( ! ) logo.
Vibration is now activated again. Had the problem myself my girlfriend kept asking me how
So I just moved from an EVO LTE to the Note 3 and I'm having a very annoying issue with the Vibration/Notification setup. Previously I had my Evo setup to only vibrate when receiving a call or text message. The note 3 however will vibrate for everything (a call, a message, an email, etc).
Basically I don't want my phone to vibrate when receiving an email (Gmail, using Gmail App). At the same time I like the phone to vibrate when I receive a text message. I tried in phone/settings to turn the "Notification" vibrate level to 0 and then enable the Vibrate in Handcent but no dice, the phone will then not vibrate when receiving a text. I also double checked that the Gmail app is not set to vibrate on notification.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I would like this "fixed" as well. I want vibrations for text and phone calls but not emails when i vibrate mode.
I found this. Maybe a DEV can look at this and see if it can be changed to how it use to be?

You can change this under Gmail settings. Uncheck vibrate.
Open Gmail
Hit the Lower left menu button
Click Settings
Click [email protected]
Click Inbox sound & Vibrate
Uncheck Vibrate

...handles email notifications better than what is described here. The Note 3 is at the top of my list...I have multiple gmail accounts...and this 'news' is not music to my ears. I'll be watching this thread carefully.
I remain interested in this thread...can it be verified that a stock Note 3 can be set up to ring for calls, vibrate for emails, and chime for texts/messages?
Never had any issues with notifications from gmail. Only apps I have set to vibrate, vibrate. I used to have that issue with the EVO LTE actually where I couldn't get gmail to stop vibrating. But it definitely doesn't vibrate now.

Hello everyone! I too had this problem. I solved it in a way that ONLY removed the vibrate from emails. Emails still made a sound (like I want them to, but you can make them soundless), and texts still vibrate and make sound. I'll put the solution first, then background below (background can be important because different carriers have slightly different Android builds).
To solve:
Open Gmail app
Click the menu button softkey (in case I have the name wrong, I mean the button to the left of the physical home button)
Click Settings. Here, you should see General Settings, [a list of your gmail account(s)], and About Gmail
Click on an account, it will open to another menu
Click on Inbox sound & vibrate (third option down for me)
On this new menu, look for the following two fields: Sound (leads to a "choose file" option); and Vibrate (a checkbox)
Quick side note: You may have discovered that unchecking Vibrate doesn't actually turn off vibrations. We need to go deeper.
Look at the Sound option. Does it currently say Default ringtone ([your notification tone]) ? If it does, that's the problem.
Click on Sound, then choose the sound you want from the menu (as opposed to leaving it on Default ringtone)
Leave Vibrate unchecked (because everyone likes specificity in their instructions)
Repeat for any other accounts you have
Enjoy the return of a calm pocket
This way, it should still play sounds when sound is enabled, but will never vibrate. My conjecture as to why this happens: the "default ringtone" is not simply just a ringtone, but also now has the vibrate inherently attached to it (if vibrate is enabled for texts). This is also probably why we cannot change the way the texts vibrate.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and am on Verizon in Oregon (in the off chance that states have different rollout dates). Before the update, which occurred this morning, my gmail notifications were set up to play the Bubbles sound (one of the stock options) and not vibrate at all. If the phone was in vibrate mode, no sound or vibration would occur, though it would still put a notification in the toolbar.
After the update, SO MANY VIBRATIONS! All of the things were vibrating. And while that isn't the only grievance I have with this update, it was the one I fixed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot , thanks , thanks , thanks , you are the best men , your are the one THANKS :laugh::highfive:
