I don't know exactly what you are referring to, but go into your app manager, click on the app, and then press clear defaults. This might work.

There is no listing for zedge under manage apps? Most anything you download should appear there.

He's saying he set the default to HTC. That means he needs to find the HTC app responsible for notification and clear it. OP, you can try clearing defaults on all the HTC based apps, including one's that show up as com.* (where * is a wildcard) You could also try uninstalling Zedge and reinstalling. Or find another app that triggers a similar dialog and then set the default there.

So out of the blue I received a text message and got the standard notification from the sms app, but I also got a second notification I hadn't received before. Its the envelope icon from cupcake I believe, and it alers of unread messages and links to the standard sms app just like the black smiley icon does. Thing is, it doesn't go away after replying or reading and I find it really annoying. Tried installing and uninstalling handcent and chompsms hoping for a fix and nothing. Also defaulted the stock sms app to no desired results.
Anyone know how to stop/remove this?

If you have installed any app for sms "like handcent", then you will have to go to the settings of either one you dont want and turnf off the alerts. That way only one will notify you
Yup. You gotta go into your stock messenger and menu then uncheck notifications.

That's the thing, even by disabling all other notifications, it still shows up. And its I'm using hancent at the moment, that notification shows as well as the second one (which links to the stock android sms app)
Here's how its set up regarding notifications:
Stock sms app: all notifications off
Hancent sms: green smiley notification set up
And still this mysterious second notification linking to the stock sms app still appears.
I had that same problem on my device too. I had to do a factory reset and it fixed the problem.
Make sure you back up your apps before doing it.
Aparently that notification its not from stock. Maybe something else you have elsewhere. See if you can identify the icon and that way maybe you can tell what it is.

Ding ding ding we have a winner. I had to change this for my wife. I don't know why you can't access the sms options through the main beautiful widgets settings. Very annoying. I went through every setting option looking for this!
Been having this problem too, and I have BW. But for the life of me I can't find the BW sms widget??

Or if you're rooted, remove the relevant APK's
Thanks, removing apk's sounds ideal, was rooted until I upgraded to 2.3.3, now gingebreak doesn't work.

try this

should do the trick, did for me
How simple is this?
Settings > "Accounts and Sync:" "Facebook" then uncheck it. Done.
Simple if it worked, i'm looking at the gray icon in 'manage accounts' and still see the F in the notifications bar.

Use gingerbreak on 2.3.2, then OTA update to 2.3.3 (it's still rooted!), kill the facebook apk's..
How do I get back to 2.3.2? I just unlocked the bootloader if that's going to help me any?

Indeed, if autosync is on you will get the facebook notification icon and a "cannot sync" message regardless of the facebook account sync options.
I just removed the account altogether as i don't really use facebook that much, so web based access is enough.
Hmm, I think I just want to remove all of this FB integration off my phone, I just need to figure out how to get back to 2.3.2
You just have to do one sync and then go to settings and uncheck facebook sync. If you never enter your Facebook account it'll keep asking you to enter it. That's how it work for me.

I'm trying to add some new notification sounds to my pixel 2 XL and it just refuses to pick them up. I've placed the MP3s in DCIM/Media/Notifications and they just don't show up. Google search tells me to use a secondary file explorer to select them but I made the mistake a while back and told it to use the default one always and can't seem to figure out how to reverse that decision. Is there some trick? I've tried shutting down/restarting and no go. My custom ring tones showed up fine, but notifications.. nothing.

Can you be a little more specific? Under "Settings | Apps and Notitications" I do not see an app for setting sounds and "settings" itself has no defaults set. In fact it looks like only Phone and Photo's have values set. What exactly should I be resetting?

Search for the apps called "files" or maybe it is "settings storage"
Normally the extra tones are simply stored on the internal SDCard under
/Alarams
/Notifications
/Ringtones
with a root explorer the file path is
/storage/emulated/0/Alarams
/storage/emulated/0/Notifications
/storage/emulated/0/Ringtones

So the internet's suggestion to put them in DCIM/Media/Notifications was the issue. Moving them to just the notifications folder worked.
On a side note I still find the app to remove defaults from. I don't have any thing sound+settings related and Files has no defaults set. So for now problem fixed but wonder why it's not listed.

Using your root browser app. Navigate to: /system/media/audio/ringtones(pic). There you will see the native ringtones on your device. I also change the file extension on my specific ringtones to .ogg, reboot, and they should work. They do for me anyway :good:

Do you mean for the in-app sounds like when you like something? I keep those turned off, so can't help you there, but my Facebook notifications sound is my default sound and my Facebook Messenger sound I keep changed back to the old Facebook Pop sound they used to have it as. I did this in the system settings, not the apps, I believe.
yes when you go jnto facebook setting the push notification sound is "facebook" I want to change it but it doesn't

Where is the sound setting? I know I've found it before, but I can't find it now.
privacy and settings, settings, notifications, scroll down to Push, then sound

Thanks, I wasn't tapping on the Push button before to get to that page. All the tones are greyed out and you can choose a different one, but it doesn't stick, like you said. Weird.
I think it's a Facebook bug

Or a feature.
Facebook wants everyone to have the same tone. That way, its victims will all get a tiny dopamine rush when any of the phones around them have an alert. They then all check Facebook . I've seem it happen.
Anyone know a way to change the default text message ringtone on Google messages? I can set them individually, but that's a pain.
Long press the app > (i) Information > Notifications, and from there you will probably be able to set a default notification ringtone.

No dice.
Not sure if this is what you need. Go to Settings. Then Apps. Go to the app you want and there's a section to change the default sound. I did for a number of apps already.

There are 2 Messages apps. I tried both and the attached screenshots were the ones I changed tones. Hope that helps and I hope that was what you were after.
