As many of you may have expirienced after switching to Rickys ROM (not that the loss of vibrating txt aalerts wasnt worth it) I have found a solution. Though I am not sure it will work for everyone i fiddled around with the settings alot until i got it to work heres wat i did...
STEPS
1. If u have SMS Bubbles uninstall it ( I know this sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do)
2.Go to
>>Settings
>>Sounds
>>"New text message"
3.Now change the sound to one that you do not use for any other alert reminder etc. Do the same for "New E-Mail". I used a custom sound.(I kno you're probably wondering why you have to change the sound and to be honest idk why just beer with me)
4.Go to
>>Settings
>>Profiles
>>"Vibrate"
5.Once on "vibrate" click menu
6.Press edit
7.Go to Notification type and select multiple vibrate.
8.Enjoy your phone will once again vibrate when you have a text
I am not sure if all of the settings have to be identicle like i said this took much dabbiling to achieve but it works for me hope it works for all of you as well. Good luck!
mine never stopped working...interesting.
bubbles maybe?
some ppl have the problem some dont im not quite sure why. Did u ever install SMS bubbles?

i just picked up a Dash yesterday... so far im likin the phone and itll definitely hold me off till i get my tilt.. anywho... today while i was on a call i recieved a text and midcall my txt alert tone started playin and i couldnt even hear who i was talkin to any longer.... i didnt find anything in the settings to stop that so im guessing there might be a registry edit or something to fix that... is there one or was that a one time error that probably wont happen again?
noone has the same issue? its extremely annoyin now.. midcall the phone just starts playin my sms alert tone really loudly..
Dont know, happens to me all the time but never seen a fix
best thing
the only thing you can do to stop that is to put your msg tone on vibration. Hope this helps
theres a setting in accessibilty, then goto in-call alert and just turn it down or off

I'm not sure how to fix your problem( other than smashing phone against the wall), I was just curious if your keyboard was sticking?

How long is the ringtone as you call it??? Is it a song? Or the default tone?

What do you mean you tryed shorter? Just use the default text alert to see if it carrys on in a loop? If not already tried this?
The .wav or .mp3 will not stop untill the sound plays out if it is long.

Yes i do but what is the prognosis please be a bit more specific on what is wrong when you use the default message tone.
Stylez, is it just me, or are you completely confused with what the problem is too?
So from what I've read, the message tone starts, doesn't loop(start over), but it never ends. So has it grown artificial intelligence and refuses to stop when it reaches the end? and just keeps making up new tones so that the party continues on and on and on....
I'm totally misunderstanding the problem here I think
I don't think he understands what you are asking (LOOPING). Might I suggest not using any sound notification at all then. Change your settings to no sound notification. (SIMPLE) or you can try Vibrate Notification - if the vibrate loops too then you will have to turn that off as well. (Looping refers to once the track has reached it's end, it starts over again, and again and again and again................................................. If it is not looping, then the track will stop playing once it has reached the end. A song can be only so long. I have never found a song that lasts forever; however, there are some Pink Floyd Songs that are over 20 minutes. ***DONT USE THOSE***
This is the best I can suggest since I haven't used your device. I have the Touch Elf.

I'm with you on that one, i think he's not sure himself what is going on but we will see?
I'm off to bed will dream about how to sort out the artificial intelligence message ringtone tone thing.
This could be a retoricle thread or could end up in the hall of shame
Hotrod101 maybe i need to leave the terminology @ home surely everyone know what a loop is??? so if i ing what's it do???
Alright guys, I think I know what he's trying to say.
I've had this similar problem before.
I think this is what he's trying to say...
1)He set a custom alert,(a song), for his text message.
2)He gets a text, and bingo - it starts playing his selected ringtone.
3)So he picks up his phone, goes to the text message, and wouldn't you know? The ringtone won't stop playing even though he's clarified with the OS that he's acknowledged the message, (therefore expecting the ringtone to stop). Hell, he may even be creating a response to the message already, but the alert still won't stop....
4)So what does he do? He sets a shorter ringtone; shortens the length of the song, hoping it'd make a difference.
5)BUT, it doesn't. Why? I believe this is because that is one flaw in the dash's OS, (if you wanna call it that). Even though you may have acknowledged the new text message, it will stay play THE FULL LENGTH OF THE ALERT you have assigned it.
EX) Phone says, "I have a new text?!, play the designated alert! What? You already know you have a new text message? I don't care mufucka, I got a job to do, and that's play the full [length] alert I was told to play!"
If you notice, the pre-installed text message alerts, are relatively short.
So did the programmers just say, "f-it, we can't seem to make it so the alert stops playing once a message is read/acknowledged, so we'll just install short alerts", who knows.
Ok, I got this now, since you explained it. Let me put this so even mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm can understand.
Hey mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
you have to useeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee a short tone, not a long one, because it will playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy until it finishes the whole toneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............
So use the one of the defaulttttttttttttt tonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnessss if you can't make a shorter one yourselffffffffffffffffffffffff. did you get it mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??????????????????????????????
Don't use long tonessssssss like you like to make long wordsssssssssssss.
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooool?

I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of first timers here who don't know much about electronics, computers, let alone these WM devices; therefore; they are not familiar with simple terminologies, or even basic operations of our devices. We don't know anything about this guy.
I mean no disrespect to you or the individual who created this thread.
but you must have seen some of these seemingly rediculous posts / questions -
Not that this one is rediculous
I have answered some peoples questions (Simple to me) but not to them - How do I install a cab? I downloaded the cab but cannot install it because it is zipped and when I unzip it is is not there? My weather app displays the wrong temperature? (this was a matter of this user having to change his weather settings from Celcius to Ferhenheit.) We are all learning as we go, some of us have been in the game a lot longer then others. Those just starting out (NOOBS as they are sometimes referred as) have to learn somehow eventually. Even those who have years and years of experience and education can get confused, over think things, or just plain forget. Sometimes out of frustration, we cannot see the obvious. That is why these forums are so great. We can ask for help from others who will be objective.
I have never seen this problem before and it may be a legitimate problem (Who knows) It is interesting to me to find out and learn about it because maybe it might happen to me.

Yep i also answered one half an hour b4 this even had to check 2 c if double post, if u want to use a custom sound song whatever? Google Audacity it's free and chop the sound up, sorry answer short, i'm one eyein phone, can't sleep must turn off Dash the light is shining.
I upgraded to 2.2 OTA yesterday. Everything has worked great except that out of all issues, the notification sound for my text message became a very low key pop sound. I attempted to change it various times and tried resetting my phone a couple of times to see if that changed anything and nothing.
The funny part is I can still change the sound notifications for my twitter, so it is specifically the text messaging that is causing a problem. I have never rooted and didn't flash that early froyo, just the legit one yesterday.
Can anyone help me?
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Have you tried a reboot?
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
By rebooting you mean turning off and turning on? If yes I have many times and tried taking out the battery too.

Im rooted using fresh right now it is built on the latest OTA and I'm trying to replicate your problem. What happens when you attempt to change the sound also where are you changing the sound at in messaging settings or the default in sounds?

When I go to settings/sound/notification sound I click any of the sounds and click ok. (As I highlight any of them it plays the preview sound).
Then I exit and have multiple people text me and it plays a little tiny sounding popping sound instead of whatever sound I picked.
Now I am on launcher pro and attempted changing on regular sense and nothing happened. I'm also using chompsms. (maybe uninstall chompsms?)
I don't know what to do . I turned off the phone several times and also took out the battery. Twitter notifications work fine, so its directly related to texting
go into your messages home screen press menu, press settings, scroll to received messages heading, make sure play notification sound is checked and than select a notification sound from the next option below and select ok

I had the auto correct problem, too. I don't know if its from me tinkering with the settings, or because I rebooted, but it eventually went away and i never saw it happen again. I'm assuming it's a bug of some sort.
I also can't get keypress sound on the ICS keyboard to work. I have it enabled in the keyboard settings, but I don't hear any sounds when a key is pressed.

Keyboard sound is tied into notification sounds if that makes a difference to your situation at all..
Help ..My phone is rooted..stock rom
for some reason when i am receiving a call ..the phone rings...but nothing shows on screen...i cant even answer the phone..
the only way to answer right now is to open phone app...
What went wrong? Did i delete something? Does anyone have stock phone apk and is it possible to put that back on my phone?
Did it work okay before you rooted the phone?

Yes no problems before
The best solution is to un-freeze the apps that you have frozen and then see if the problem still exists.
Depending on how you rooted, you can reload the stock system and kind of start over, but you should really check out the phones functions good and make sure they are working before you start changing stuff.
Always freeze apps first to make sure you aren't creating problems as you go and with the memory this phone has on it, chances are you don't need to actually delete anything.
Doing a lot of READING about what people are finding, how things react, how to do things like flashing back etc... is always useful rather than jumping in and just start blindly making changes.
Keep a record of what you changed so you know how to unchange it.

Yes i do have Xposed installed..Not notify
Im thinking i did delete something because when i checked those settings the box was NOT checked and i dont know how that happened.
BUT this did not fix the problem...When i am not using Nova launcher a minimized Ringer will pop up when i am called that i can maximize.
I also found a file on my comp that might be the issue ..its called Call_Keypad_bg (or something like that)
How can i put the file back into com.android.phone?
Anyone able to help?

Your posts are very odd. Sound like there is a lot you are not telling us. Sounds like you did much more then just root. With the info provided I would say you need to odin back to stock as we are missing a full accounting of your customizations.

Will flashing back to stock trigger KNOX? I do not have custom recovery.
Can you link an OP for the procedure so im sure not to brick .
