Motorola Droid X :: Custom Incoming Email Contact Alert
Sep 13, 2010
I switched to a Droid X from a BlackBerry. On the BlackBerry, not only could you set phone and SMS custom alerts and ringtones (in addition to custom ring profiles for certain contacts), you could also set email alerts.
So for example, if my husband emailed me, it would ring a custom alert for his email, not just for an email to that particular account. That meant I didn't need to look at my phone every time got an email to see who it was from. (I have a web-based business and I get literally hundreds of emails every day.)
On the BlackBerry, not only were there custom inboxes for each email account, there was a "universal" inbox. There doesn't seem to be a function exactly like that for the Android (I tried adding my Gmail accounts to the one there, but it keeps defaulting me back to each Gmail box).
Is there an app for this?
I have Ringo Pro for my custom sms and call alerts, but an email alert would be a lifesaver. There are a lot of BB converts to Android (and I'm sure more to come) who would gladly pay for an app to handle this. So far, it's the only thing I can see where the Droid X doesn't beat the BB.

Is there any way to turn off all sounds except for one incoming number? I like to have my phone completely off by when my ex wife has our son, I'd like to keep it on just for if she calls. Is this possible?

I'm picking up a Droid tomorrow. How is the call vibrate? I constantly missed just about every call on my Eris.

I have no idea what I did. My DX will not ring for incoming calls. It will only vibrate. I've set ringtones and nothing happens.

For historical reasons (from when I had a LG VX-6000 before I upgraded to a smart phone), I have several email notifications that are sent to my phone by way of <my number>@vtext.com. This is the Verizon email-to-SMS gateway that has been around forever.
The default 'Messaging' app is smart enough to extract the email address from these messages and look it up in my Contacts list, so it shows up as from the proper contact.
I have been looking for an app to alert me with a different tone depending on who sent me the message. I have tried 'Missed Call' and 'Ringo'. Both will let me assign an alert tone to a contact, but when one of these SMS messages is received, both 'Missed Call' and 'Ringo' show the message as from '6245' (which is 'MAIL' transposed with a telephone keypad). As a result, it won't look up the proper alert tone because it won't extract the sender's email address.
Is there a better solution? I could have these messages sent to my Gmail instead, but the Gmail app won't play different tones depending on the sender.

I want to change the sound I hear when receiving a SMS message. I have successfully downloaded the BB sonar sound that I want to use.
I can't find the place to set the custom tone.
I see the list that the dx provides but no custom option.

So I have something like 470 people in my Google Contacts under "All Contacts" and only about 60 under "My Contacts." I like it that way, because then my Droid contact list isn't full to the brim with people whose numbers I really don't need at the touch of my fingertips. That being said, however, it would be very cool if somehow the "All Contacts" section of my Google Contacts could be used to identify incoming phone calls.
For instance:
I want my Brother's phone number in My Contacts so I can call him.
I don't want my ex girlfriend's Stacey's number in My Contacts because I don't need to call her.
I still have my ex-girlfiend's contact info under "All Contacts" because there's no reason to delete it outright.
I would, however, like for my Droid's caller ID to tell me that the person calling me is "Stacey" instead of "unknown caller."
Am I asking too much? I know I could just add everyone to "My Contacts" and that would work, I just don't necessarily want 500 people in my Droid phone book. It's unnecessary. Or even apps that do this?

Is there any way to black list a contact from your incoming calls and messages? I got someone who will not leave me alone no matter what I try.. any way to block them entirely from my Droid without getting Verizon involved or having to change my number?

I have 2 questions though.
1 - how do I change the alert notification for my calendar? Originally it was just the standard alert. When I view the settings there was the option to use the standard droid alert of use a ringtone. So, playing around I cheeked use a ring tone. It brought me to a directory(?) or folder with 4 songs that I had downloaded using railio(sp) ringtones. Now that's the only place I can get to for ALL alerts and ringtones. Even for my contacts it goes to the 4 songs I downloaded from railio ringtones and I can't navigate anywhere else.
I have gone into manage applications and uninstalled the ringtone program, but still can't get out of that spot for my alerts and ringtones. It's driving me crazy!
2 - My contacts have multiple entries for one person.
How can I delete the multiple entries for a contact? When I edit the contact information for a person I see 3 - 5 duplicate entries for one contact. When I first got my droid I synced with 2 google accounts - I didn't know what I was doing --- so, the information under one contact is repeated many times.

Something's missing. I've failed the setup. Incoming gmail should produce an alert of some sort, and it's not happening. I haven't found the button, switch, trigger, or ?? to do it.
The mail is on the phone, but new mail should alert me. It doesn't.
Obviously, it's part of google's IQ test - and I didn't pass.

I recently updated my eris to 2.1 and I really like it. The main thing that is currently annoying me with it is that when I am on a call, it still vibrates when I receive a text message. I like that it vibrates when I receive texts just not while I'm on the phone. How do I change this 'Phone Only' preference? 1.5 always just had a little beep or sound for the notifier never vibrated?

I have been looking to try to choose one of my ringtones for notification confirmations as well as received calls. All that I have found are the OS ringtones for those 2 operations. (ringtone: DROID)
I have found how to choose from my custom ringtones only for individual contact. how I can get my ringtones to be seen or where to place them so that the Droid sees them?

I thought the groups were a good idea, but when I select sms or email, it doesn't work. Does it work for anyone else? When I click on send email to group, my gmail opens up with no contacts in the send to field.

When an Android phone receives a call it automatically checks if the call exists in its own contact database. I was wondering if there is a simple way to access that information. I have a PhoneStateListener that performs certain actions during a ringing state, and I want to check if the incoming caller is in the contacts list.
Is there a way to do this without going through the Contacts ContentProvider?

I made a custom alert dialog box to be displayed at the end of my game so that the player can enter its name to save it. The problem is when I call show() on the dialog appears but it's not vertically centered! It's a bit lower than it should and no matter what properties I set in the xml or when using setGravity().
I think it's the same problem as stated here: http://bit.ly/9tk0ld
but no one gave a proper answer. code...

I Bought my HTC Desire two week ago. Loving it. A question though. Under each contact, if you enter the person's birthday, does the phone alert you with an alarm when the person's birthday is here? Is there any settings I need to do? Or does it sync with the google calendar?

I originally had an incredible but my fiance like it so much I swapped with her for the original moto droid. Well before that I had no problem putting custom alerts for email and text messages. Well now I have my own Incredible and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it again. Was something changed when the update to froyo went through or something? Someone help me out...I can't stand the preinstalled sounds.

Please be kind, i have tried searching before posting and i seem to be as good as a chocolate fire guard. I have the samsung galaxy s and i installed hand cent sms (or something like that) which was good when it didn't freeze. My problem is, now that i have installed it i am now no longer able to assign a custom text alert as i had before, i have created a folder in the root and when i go to messages, settings, select ring tone i have the ones that came with the phone, plus option of default ring tone, can anyone help this stupid individual out. Also while your reading this novel and thinking "you really are useless" Is there anyway to find out WHEN people have sent there texts, it only shows the time it arrived.

How could I best send a message using the Android from an external email address to the user's email address or SMS?
For example, when the phone senses acceleration, it sends a message from youdroppedme@gmail.com to the user's gmail account.
I would prefer to use the core API, if possible. I am also considering using a web server as a go between. What is the most elegant solution?
