New Email Notification - Droid

[SSHGuru]

I don't want my Droid to make a sound on a new email - I get too many.

I'd like to to vibrate and there is an option for that - but it WONT STOP vibrating until you read the message - equally annoying.

Solution please?

Go to either your Gmail/E-mail/Microsoft Exchange program press the menu button and then go to settings. You should then be able to fix it there.

Fix it how?  I'm not sure I understand.

>Click on your Gmail icon on your screen

>Hit menu key (second touch button from left)

>Click settings

>Select Ringtone

>Choose silent

Keep "Email Notifications" checked if you want to see that you have an email on your menu bar.

This won't work on my non-Gmail account. Every time I set it to silent,it reverts back to default ringtone. Any Help?

[RedReiter]

I have the exact same problem.

If I change the notification ringtone, go back to home screen, go back to email and check settings, it shows the change but once the phone goes to sleep, or whatever you call it, the tone reverts to the droid default.

Thanks,

RR

I had the same problem when trying to switch "Check Frequency" and after about 20 minutes of troubleshooting, I figured it out.

Do not use the home button to exit any settings menu...USE THE BACK BUTTON after changing a setting.  Keep pressing the back button to exit.  Using the home button does not seem to save what changes you made.

Try it, then go back to settings after you exit and see.  It should work.

I'm finding out the Droid has quite a few of these idiosyncracies that you have to learn.

They're not all "idiosyncracies".  After trying to change the notification alert (which failed), now one of my accounts notifies me of new mail every 10 minutes (my setting for sync freq) even though there is no new mail.  There are other bugs but I'll save those for another thread.
