    When I get a text, I get Navi from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time saying "Hey, Listen!"

    My email alert is the alert sound from Metal Gear Solid.

    I'm a huge nerd. I'm proud of my sound scheme!

    This wouldn't work for me but only because I have friends that would text me non stop so my phone would be all like "Hey, Listen!" "Hey, Listen!" "Hey, Listen!" "Hey, Listen!" "Hey, Listen!" an then I'd want to stab it like I wanted to stab Navi in the games. I mean I'd be trying to break all the jars in the room or cut down all of the grass and she would be like "Hey, Listen!" and I'd be like, "Hey, I'm breaking/cutting things at the moment, be with you in a bit." but she would just keep on saying "Hey, Listen!". But serious props for having that as a sound. I think the chest opening sound would be funny too.

    Love the idea of the MGS alert sound! Might have to steal that :p.

    My phone is on silent most of the day at work because it is frowned upon to even bring our phones to our desks. But I just use stock sounds found on the iPhone I change it up from time to time. I haven't really looked into custom sounds because my phone is on silent so much. My dad's ring tone is the duck quacking on the iPhone though. He set his iPhone ring tone to that and sometimes answers his phone by saying "quackline!" I love that weird man.

    Yeah, as far as updates, go, it will show it in the upper left corner of the status bar. U bring the bar down, click on the updates, and it goes into the app's updater. It only happens every once in a while, so you dont necessarily have to do it right away. took me a while to get used to the smartphone too. But I love it. If you have netflix online streaming, you can get all of that on your phone. It is pretty cool.

    My text message notification says HEY BEAUTIFUL, YOU HAVE A TEXT MESSAGE. Got it from an app called Zedge. I have Sprint as my carrier.

    Mine is a simple sound that came with the phone. At work I put it on silent/vibrate but the vibrate doesnt work anymore so its just silent and sad.

    If you download games apps, it only uses data to download the game. It doesnt use data to play it. Just so you know you wont go over. I have metro, so I am only limited on speed. I get 2.5 g at the 4g speed, and once I hit that, I go down to 3g. Verizon doesn't have an unlimited data plan, so make sure you keep an eye on that. go over, and you will regret it. At 4g, it is sooo easy to do!

    Stock LG sound for Texts. Sounds like a Waterdroplet/chime.

    My ringtone is the Imperial March from Star Wars. : )

    I hope this isn't against the rules of posting and to clarify I have no affiliation with the following site, but they have great ringtone and text message alerts and they are all free. zedge dot net

    I've downloaded all sorts to my iphone. Enjoy.

    I am starting to feel like I might need to break out my N64 and dust it off to enjoy OoT again. Sure I could buy it again but why? I still have my system and games. /shrug

    If I got more texts, I'm sure I would have the same reaction! No pot would be safe! lol

    I had the chest open for my email for a while. It got old after a while, so I changed it to the alert. It makes me jump every time, but it's over quickly. I don't even need to break out my cardboard box anymore!

    Your dad sounds like an interesting character. My dad answers his phone by saying "Joe's bar and grill!" His name is Tim.

    Song and vibrate.

    I have certain songs for certain people so that when they text/call I know who it is without looking.

    Ha! Awesome! Heads up, friend's request coming your way. :p I have seen some of the best MGS costumes at a couple of cons that I went to awhile back. Every time I saw someone with a cardboard box sneaking around it was too funny. Your dad sounds interesting too. Good thing though, interesting people are the spice of life, it gets boring without us.

    Vibrate.
    When I get texts, it's usually a text "conversation"
    the noise (any repetitive noise, actually) annoys the hell out of me.

    I'm notified of all my texts by a short little chirping thing.
    And like others have said, if it's an ongoing conversation, I put it on vibrate. There is only so much chirping I can take in 10 minutes.

    Bagpipes playing for most of my texts. Different songs for different people, so I know if I really need to look at the texts.

    Vibrate, or a song or movie clip + vibrate, depending on where I'm at.
