[Q] No notification ringtone? HELP! - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I am not getting a notification sound when text messages are received. It only vibrates. I've gone to settings, sound, enable notification, selected which one i want and still nothing. Even D/L handcent and i still dont get sound. In handcent i was able to test my notification sound, that works. But when i get messages it only vibrates. Help!!!!!

This might be an "is it plugged in?" answer...
Go to Settings -> Sound -> Volume, and make sure the Notification volume is turned up.

Check your Notification Volume in Settings, Sound, Volume.
Something kept setting mine to zero until I installed Quick Settings from the Market. It has an option to let you keep the ringer and notification volumes the same.

Wolf, you SOB, you did it!!!!!!! Many thanks, my brotha!

Often my kitty gets a hold of my phone and pushes things, lol

I gave you the same answer in General. Don't post the same question in two places.

I searched General. Didn't find anything. And, it wasn't me who posed the same question twice.

Okay, my bad, I guess. I know I answered the exact same question in another sub-forum just before coming to this one, and the avatar looked the same.
I can't find it now either, so either I'm crazy or someone deleted the thread.

No worries, my brotha. Thanks for added support

Are you using gmail app? When you're selecting the notification the option for silent is 2nd one down, not in alphabetical order!
my god, so simple...
thanks so much for my and my spouse's nights!
Yup I know, I missed it until today when I was answering another post (the flaws and annoyances thread) some one had posted that it was possible. I double checked and there it was right at the top!
Anyone know how to do this using the mail app? It worked fine until I flashed the oxygen rom. Now my only option is to silence all notification sounds, which is not ideal.

[Q] Need help with ringer please

I have searched around and cant find an answer. the ringer on my pone is not working all the time. I keep getting missed calls while the pone is sitting next to me so I know its not sounding. I am on stock rooted. I do have advanced call blocker and alarm droid but have had them for a long time and never had a problem. I have frozen them to see if it helps but I dont get alot of calls and If I ask someone to call of course it wont do it. you know how that goes. I also have made sure the flip to silence is not checked and did toggle it to be sure. Would appreciate any input.
I will be sure to hit "thanks"

Try to go to settings,applications,,manage applications, all, settings, and clear data. That is going to force closed the settings apk maybe that fix your problem.

Last resort, perform a master reset.
Do you see a missed call message or just the VM? Are you using a default, built-in ringtone or something personalized?

I am actually using a custom ringtone. I have a "audio" folder that I use to replace the stock sounds. I never even thought of that but I dont see why it would work sometimes and not always. The text and every other notification sound works fine and always, its just the phone ringer that I am having problems with. I do see a missed call on the lock screen, and I checked to make sure I didnt have any blocking on any contacts. I have no special ringtone for any contacts, everything there is set to default. Do you think if I assign a special tone for certain contacts that would help? Ill give it a shot just to see. Thanks
i use ringdroid, and zedge
Try using rings extended, it lets you select any music file on your sd or phone as a ringtone

[JB] Notification vibration issues

I've been reading a bit into this and it seems a few people are having issues with the way Jelly Bean handles notifications and vibration.
With ICS, my phone only vibrated when it was in VIBRATE from the drop down menu (imagine!). If I had it set to SOUND, sounds would play whenever the phone rang/beeped/clicked/messaged/emailed/facebooked, but would NOT vibrate.
If I wanted the phone to sound AND vibrate I would check that box under Settings>Sound>Ringtone and Notifications.
Now with Jelly Bean, my phone plays sound AND vibrates (even if this is unchecked in Settings>Sound). I can disable this by unchecking "also Vibrate when notified" under Messaging>Menu>Settings>Notification Settings, but if I do the phone won't vibrate for ANY text notifications, even when the phone is in VIBRATE.
This is driving me crazy. I only want the phone to vibrate if I can't hear it.
Has anyone else run into this and/or figured out a work around? I feel like these are all a bunch of toggle switches and the right combination of them will allow me make the phone operate how I want it to. :\
(shameless bump)
No one has experienced any issues with the notification system overhaul, eh?

I've noticed something odd - after an unknown/random amount of time of using my phone, when I cycle through the Vibrate/Mute/Sound on settings (in the notification window), the phone will vibrate when it gets set to Sound. Previously it would only ever vibrate when it's set to Vibrate. If I reboot the phone this issue goes away. I'm wondering if some app that I had opened has a notification setting where it always vibrates, even when the sound is on.
I have this issue. Not annoying enough yet to look for a fix though. I hipe I dont get a bunch of texts tonight haha

It's driving me crazy! I love the improvements JB has brought but I'm seriously thinking of going back to ICS because of it!
This could be patched with a hotfix I'm sure. Smaller things have been!
Thank you for your post. I have the same problem and waiting for a fix...i wonder if jb 4.2 has a fix?

I would like to know this too.
Go throught the settings of the gmail app. Is not hard to find

I meant when it's in vibrate mode. My Gmail will vibrate even if I tell it not to in the settings. In fact, every notification vibrates when on vibrate mode. This was not the case with my galaxy s2. I hear this is a jb thing.

Seriously not trying to be a **** here.. but.. "Vibrate mode" .... umm... its supposed to vibrate when android gets a notification UNLESS the vibrate flag is not assigned to the notification via the app.. (usually an option per app)
Now you are saying, in vibrate mode, it still vibrates even though you have the vibrate option turned off in the Gmail app?

Dude, all I am saying is that before on the galaxy s2 only apps that were told to vibrate would vibrate EVER. Didn't matter if it was silent, vibrate or sound mode. This has changed in the new version of Android and it is plain annoying to me since I told the app not to vibrate so I would like for it to not vibrate. The apps that I told to vibrate I would like to vibrate-- nothing else.

Thats what i was saying in my second part of the post, if you have the Gmail settings open, and under "notifications" you UNCHECK "vibrate" it is still vibrating? Cause it shouldn't. That setting is global for all sound modes.

Yea I unchecked it. It happened on my stock ROM as well as Wicked and DeathStalker. This is the bit of research I did a while ago. I'll have to hunt through that thread to see if it was fixed somewhere.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785800
The only reason I care about this is because I only care about texts or phone calls at work. Emails and FB or whatever are irrelevant to me and thus I don't want to vibrate on my desk or pocket...Just a personal choice, I guess.

yeah i understand exactly where you are coming from. I have a question, when you adjust the volume using the volume rocker buttons, does your notification volume change too?
---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 AM ----------
I just odin'd back to stock wiped my data and can confirm that there is NO vibration when receiving any notification that has the "vibrate" option unchecked.. Don't know what your issue is. Gotta be a conflicting app. Do you use light flow at all?

Interesting. I had stock and I was sure Gmail was still vibrating when vibration was turned off. Were you in vibration or silent mode? I do not use lightflow, though I was thinking of getting it since this phone seems to have RGB LEDs.

I'm not sure what to tell you guys. I flashed stock and tested this and it does not vibrate.. so it's gotta be your ROM or something you guys added or changed.

im on the build number JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL...its the stock that came with the phone. only thing i changed is rooted..but i still cant seem to figure out how to turn vibrate off for notifications in gmail. i already unchecked the vibrate option.
I can back this clame up since I was on 100% stock and it did the same thing.

Question regarding notification settings on the phone.

Hello i'm new to this forum and new to Samsung, so this is a question that i have that i have to ask because i can't seem to find a solution. I don't know if its a bug or not.
So when i bought the phone i set it up to fit me with various settings and changes, however one setting that can't be changed (or it changes itself back to default) is the notification settings for a specific app.
I use telegram and i get a notification from time to time. So i decided to mute the sound and to turn off the vibration from the notifications menu in the phone for that specific app. But the problem is that the settings stays like this for only 20 minutes and then it resets itself to default i tried to change it again and again and it keeps resting. I tried it changing it even in the app itself, but again i keep getting a sound and vibration notification.
What i'm doing wrong? Am i doing anything wrong at all? Or is it that the phone is buggy?
Try modifying "Sound and Notifications" inside Telegram instead of phone notification settings
