G-Mail Sound Question

(1/1)

kyoo:
Anyone know how to turn off the sound in g-mail without turning off the sound of the whole tablet? I thought using this guy would be just like using my android phone but it has proven to be worlds different so far - most notably struggling without a universal settings type of option.

Actually I figured it out - it's still in settings in the actual g-mail app, you just have to click on youremail@gmail.com to get into those settings and it's all there

Drew:
Are you talking about the keyboard clicks or another sound?

samalex:
If it's like other Android devices it uses the Notification sound which is a global sound used for all notifications, but in Jellybean they added the ability to disable the notification by app which should be nice.

To set this go into your Settings > Apps > side to All > and tap Gmail.  Now uncheck "Show Notifications" .  You won't get any notifications or sounds when a new email arrives, so that may be less than ideal -- but this will stop the sound from appearing.

One quicker way to set it is also to long press on the app in the Notification window, if a notification exists, and it'll bring you the settings page as well to disable the Notifications. 

Hope this helps --
