Yes. Go into the gmail settings and find the notifications settings. If I recall correctly, it takes a little bit of drilling down to get there, but you can set a mail notification there. Geri O

Okay, point being, everyone but him gets your messages and he's getting everyone's messages but yours... Hmmm... I think this is going to be a network thing, not a phone thing. Both of you need to call your respective carriers and report the problem to Customer Service. Geri O

I just looked through this on my Droid X2 and it's not as straightforward as it used to be (but what will, now that Steve Jobs as resigned as CEO of Apple?  WHO SAID THAT??? Yes, I know, he's remaining as Chairman of the Board. Ooh, this was more like a topic skid!... ) Okay, back to business...   You can see if this applies to the Droid 3 as it should be similar because both are Gingerbread. I'm listing the procedure for the Droid X2.   Open Gmail, then hit the menu button (there should be one of those on the Droid 3, too, at the bottom left of the face of the phone. I don't know if it's a hard or soft button).   A set of options will open and select "more", if it's there (I hope it is, otherwise, this post just got really short). You should now be able to select "Settings". This choice should be at the top of the list. Now select your account (whatzename@gmail.com).   Here is where it gets weird. Pressing your account name should open a page full of options. Scroll all the way down to "Labels to Notify" and press it. A box will open with two choices, Select "Inbox". A box called "Notifications for Inbox" should open.   Whew! From here, you can turn off or on notifications, select a "ringtone", oddly enough and select "vibrate" options.   That's a mess. I really hope this helps and good luck,    Geri O

directmedia wrote: Droid is new to me. All my previous phones, there was always a way to choose a notification. Meaning, if you receive a call, Missed call, you can "set" the phone to audible let you know. Same for a new voicemail or new text message. The Droid X doesnt seem to have any other way to tell me of "missed" info. other than a blinking light at the top of the screen. Which means, you have to visually look at the phone for a green light blinking, v.s. Previous models I've owned their were ways to set audible tones, so I could hear the phone trying to tell me misssed info? Does anyone know of a way to "set" audible info.??? Please advise. thx ACW There are none.   Of all the things to skip over in a phone OS, I mean, really?? The missed call/text notifications?? Oh well, there are solutions available.   Search the App Market for an app called "Missed Calls". It will, as the name implies, allows the user to set notifications for missed calls and texts. There are other apps that do the same thing, look at the ratings and reviews.   There is a text messaging app called "Handcent", that in addition to totally blowing away the stock Android app in every way, has missed texts notifications included.    Both apps are free.   Good luck,  Geri O
