I use it for my work email notification. I find the sound annoying so I figure it's perfect for letting me know that someone at work needs me.

Howie · November 14th, 2009, 09:42 AM

lol
I still have it set but my Droid stays on vibrate for all notifications

Clark20ry · November 14th, 2009, 10:02 AM

I have it for the Text notification. I get to many emails from work to have it for email notification...

Barbara · November 14th, 2009, 10:05 AM

For text messages I downloaded the clip from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: *zinging arrow* "message for you sir" Even though I'm not a sir. I still think it's funny.

centurion · November 14th, 2009, 10:20 AM

I still use it cause I think it's awesome!

will_m68 · November 14th, 2009, 10:43 AM

I still use it, and boy do I get some looks when it goes off.

thebooch · November 14th, 2009, 10:57 AM

I have an R2D2 sound that I have been using for years. I find it fitting.

aaron5610 · November 14th, 2009, 11:00 AM

LOL I do as well. Don't know how much longer ill keep it though. For the time being its still cool.

Jacqueline · November 14th, 2009, 11:02 AM

I am using it too. Also using the Droid ringtone. I will change it when I get bored with it, but for right now I like it.

DroidPower · November 14th, 2009, 12:07 PM

DROOOIID!

T0LLPHR33 · November 14th, 2009, 12:16 PM

i use it for updates...its pretty funny it creep-ed out my nephew the other night...it was pretty classic seeing him jump off the couch...

wsbsteven · November 14th, 2009, 12:18 PM

Droid.....

hanano17 · November 14th, 2009, 12:18 PM

I'll probably keep it for email or something, maybe voice mail.

Thumper · November 14th, 2009, 12:29 PM

I have it for all notifications right now.....I love it........but for ringtone I installed the app ringextender and set music files for all my contacts, personalized. When my wife calls, it plays our wedding song, All of my Love by Zeppelin.

listen to the default ring tone. It's in there.

Hyperdyne 120-A/2 · November 14th, 2009, 01:13 PM

I use it for all notifications. I use the "New Player" for my ring tone.

@hanano17: Where'd you get the transformer noise? I'm thinking that might be cool for texts.

GrandMasterB · November 14th, 2009, 01:17 PM

I have it set for all my email accounts. I did have it set for everything for a little bit but that got confusing real fast

First thing I changed. And my wife just about made me return the phone when it made that noise on hers. Great phone but I don't know why all of their marketing is towards teenage boys.

/I'd also really like to get rid of the HAL eye when starting up.

Same here. After the VZW media blitz, I don't need to hear it anymore.

You're welcome

spectrrr · November 14th, 2009, 02:45 PM

I got a good laugh out of it for a few days watching people go WTF every time it went off. After that I changed it to something less obtrusive. It amused me though

t4bz · November 14th, 2009, 03:04 PM

Kind of scared the crap outta me the first time I heard it. Wasn't expecting it.

MotoDroidHelpandInfo · November 14th, 2009, 03:04 PM

I use it for emails only. Still trying to find a better sound though.

doomedromance · November 14th, 2009, 05:39 PM

I used to use it for everything. It makes me laugh every time I hear it. I love my MGS codec and enemy alert noises too much though so I've moved back to that. I think "DROOID" is still set for Google Voice notifications.

Legacystar · November 14th, 2009, 05:55 PM

i reall ywish i could change the alert for installing apps cause i have a startrek "program loaded and ready" sound

Nope, same here. I'm using the Farnsworth ring tone from the show Warehouse 13.

Here it is in MP3 (zipped)

DrDroid · November 14th, 2009, 09:29 PM

I still use the "Droid" sound on new messages alert. I love it.

Barbara · November 14th, 2009, 09:29 PM

I have the Droid tone set for my work email. I leave my phone downstairs at night. For several days my goofy dog was barking in the middle of the night and waking us up. In the morning I would have a couple of emails that had come in overnight. It dawned on me that the dog was barking at my phone when it would alert due to the incoming mail. I silence it at night now and have been sleeping peacefully with no middle-of-the-night barking.

thanks... i appreciated it.

johnlgalt · November 14th, 2009, 10:10 PM

I have changed my default call notification to a 1:30 snippet of the Pump Panel Remix of Confusion by New Order from the Blade Soundtrack, and my default email notification to a 30 second snippet of Blade from the Blade soundtrack. Although, what you said about making it a conversation piece makes sense - I think that I'll change the email notification to DROID again, as that is much shorter (and if the screen is locked, by the time I get it unlocked to stop the notification, a good bit of Blade has already played out....)

Well, at least you now know that your dog will help warn you when the invasion begins.

DroidPower · November 16th, 2009, 06:05 PM

does anyone know how or that sound bit can be made with RINGDROID app

Good job! I use the guitar solo from Whole Lotta Love for when my wife calls. Everyone else gets ELP's Fanfare for the Common Man except any calls from work get Star Wars: Imperial March.

But I still use the Droid sound for incoming emails.

And the tone I have set for my daughter is an old school Cylon raider saying "Presenting his Eminence, our Imperious Leader" (I took poetic license with the gender issue and decided not to care. It makes my daughter laugh and one of my greatest pleasures in life is hearing my daughter laugh.)

If you have the music on your phone, you can play it and while it's playing, hit the menu button and there is a choice to "set as ringtone". I thought about getting ringdroid but it just seems like there are other easier ways.
