Motorola Droid: Change Email Ringtone Notification Sound

by Mitch

in Android, SmartPhone

The notification sound my Motorola Droid was making every time I received an email message was annoying. I had to change the ringtone. Here’s how it’s done.

1. Open the Email or Gmail application. You may have to do these steps for both applications.

2. In the message list, press the Menu button.

3. Tap Account Settings.

4. Scroll down and tap Select ringtone.

5. Select a sound or select Silent. Then you can tap Vibrate on the previous screen if you like.

A quick word of thanks…a simple issue, and thanks to you, a quick solution.

I have added two accounts so that I can get notifications when an email arrives (one is yahoo, the other aol).

However, I would like the notifications to be silent since it rings all night long now. How do I set the email arrived notification to silent? Thanks.

Yea I have a the x.. like when I try to choose a ringtone it asks me if I want to choose from my zedge or regular phone ringtones and I go into zedge and when I change it it chages but after I exit out of it all it it just changes straight back to the default.. but if I change it to a different ringtone that came on the phone originally then it will stay that way.. I just don’t get why it wont let me change to my zedge ringtones
