I have the GMail app, HTC Google Talk (IM) app and Messages app.

When I first got the phone messages and IMs were coming in with an audible notification. Which is what I wanted.

Then, one night at about 2am, a Google email came in and I also got an audible notification!

I managed to disable notifications for new emails. But now I get no notification for new IMs either. Text messages still fine.

Can someone tell me how to set the phone so that IMs and texts notify, and emails don't.

I have done:
Talk > MENU > SETTINGS >
IM notifications ON
Ringtone Selected

But it doesn't work -- it's as though the settings for GMail are linked to those for Gmail IM and are overriding them.

Many thanks.
Alan

 

Thank you, El Presidente

Somehow -- maybe some fiddling worked -- IM notifications seem to be back. But I'll remember your reply and come back if it happens again.

Cheers
Alan
