[Q] Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 changing text message tone - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I installed Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 on my HTC Desire.
But I can't change my text message phone anymore. Normally, you can simply change it with settings -> sounds -> notification tone or messages -> settings -> notification tone, but even when I changed that it stayed the same.
I also tried Tone Picker from the Play Store but it still didn't change my text message tone. I choose the tone on an older ROM from Cyanogenmod so maybe that's the reaseon?
I really want to change it, because I'm getting annoyed by that sound
Does somebody know the answer?
thx

Open Messaging App
Press Menu
Choose Settings
Then Notifications (It should be checked)
Followed by Notification Settings
Select Ringtone
Done

I already did that, but it still stays the same

Well that's not the thing you said you did on your original post. Anyway, if it didn't work, full wipe and flash again.

Message Vibrate Not Working

I've been running the latest CM7 nightlies for a while now and starting about a week ago, the vibrate function stopped working when I received text messages. I use Chomp SMS and I've changed the settings in there, in the standard messaging app, and in the general sounds category in settings. The phone still vibrates for everything else - games, alarms, phone calls, etc.
Any ideas? I'd rather not have to do a full reset.

Did you change the notification settings in the stock messaging app?
Messaging > menu > settings > notification settings > vibrate > "vibrate always"
Yes I did that. Any other ideas?

Shot in the dark, are you using the notifications drop-down power widgets? I had an issue a while back that when I used those to adjust the volume/vib/silent toggle, it would turn off vibrate in the global settings when moving back and forth between "vibrate" and "all sounds on".
Just make sure that your global settings are correct and then dont change anything then test the notification with an incoming SMS.
Other than that I'm out of ideas.
I tried changing the global settings again and in the process realized that it vibrates now when the phone is set to "silent" mode, but when I turn on the volume again the vibrate goes away. I set every single notification setting I could find to vibrate always so this is super confusing.

Try setting up a notification power widget. And under 'widget buttons' scroll all the way down to 'sound modes' and select one of the options where the first one is "sound+vibrate". Toggle to this mode from the notification pull-down and see if that toggles it. (I personally use 'Sound+Vib/Vib/Silent').
I found that the stock settings and CMsettings often mess eachother up.
I ended up flashing back to a backup from 2 weeks ago - it was worth the time because the vibrate settings are completely back to normal. Thanks for the help, though, I'll keep it in mind for future reference in case this happens again.

[Q] System Vibration Issue

ATT Galaxy S3, Stock ROM (4.1.1) with root.
I can't get vibration to work for notifications in non-stock apps (mainly trying to get it to work in messaging app: go sms).
In sound, I have 'sound and vibration' checked, but the test notification tool in go sms is reporting that "system vibration is off" and when running the test, it reports "Has turned on vibrate in silent mode"
I have tried putting the phone into 'vibrate' mode and 'mute' mode and comparing the settings, and from everything I see, the vibration settings seem to be correct in my system settings, but I still can't seem to get notifications to vibrate.

Try to wipe cache and davlik and fix permissions. It has worked for me before and other times not when this happened. Can't hurt to try it

Wiped the cache from recovery (didn't see an option for davlik, guessing that's for a custom recovery, and not stock?), still no vibration when using Go SMS, and starting to think (after more digging on the net) that it may be an issue with Go SMS, rather than the Galaxy S3.
I may revert back to using stock messaging for the time being (as i'm not getting as many group texts as I was when I started using go sms for that feature) until I can get this figured out or Go SMS fixes the issue if it's something wrong with the app.
Working now
I'm not sure what happened, but this morning I got a text and vibration worked though go SMS. I don't remember seeing an update come in for it, but everything is working as expected now. Woo~

I have inverse issue. I am unable to turn OFF the vibration. Permissions work all over the system except the SMS notification in Go SMS. It won't stop vibrating in any mode and in any case. I have tried all apps but unable to fix it.

At this point, I'm back to using the stock messaging app. After the upgrade to 4.2 or 4.3 (can't remember which) android has native support for group messaging, which was the only reason I was using GoSMS in the first place. I don't know that I can be much more help to you, unfortunately

Hay... I was able to fix this. I actually had inverse issue. I was unable to turn OFF vibration in Go SMS notification. It must vibrate no matter what phone status is.
It is being set here in Go SMS settings > Advanced (tab) > Notification Settings > Default Notification Settings > and look for Vibrate. Check or uncheck it according to your desire.

Were you able to fix it the way I did?

[Q] Some issues with CM7.2

I am facing a couple of issues that I can't find a solution to it, so I thought I share them with you hoping that you can help me solve them.
When I receive an email there comes a notification sound (which is ok ) but if I delete the same message from my laptop that I had just received, the notification sound once again appears. This happens everytime regardless if I receive or delete any messages.
When browsing with the installed browser or Delphin browser, when I want to return to the previous page, it brings me back to the top of that page and not to the place where I was reading that page. The topic I was reading could have been at the middle of that page and I want the browser to bring me back to the same place as I was.
I can't find the place to disable the notification sound, last time I did it was for couple of months ago, I guess it was in: Setting ->Cyanogenmode setting -> and Interface. I need to disable it as I sometimes receive emails in the middle of night and is driving me crazy.
thanks in advance
I dont think you can disable the notifications, but with cm you can set silent hours in wich ur phone will shut up.

But I am sure that I disabled the notifocation once, but just can't find it again

You can disable the notification sound by going into Settings -> Sound -> Notification ringtone, and selecting silent (at the top).
Or go to Settings -> Sound -> Volume, uncheck use incoming call volume for notifications, and set notification volume to 0.

disabled the notification sound by choosing none ringtone.
anyone have an idea for solving two other issues?

[Q] Text Notification Ringtone not working

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question. But, my text message notification ringtone suddenly stopped working. The phone vibrates when i get a text message but no sound. Which means im missing all my text messages. All other sounds seem to be working. This is happening with both the stock HTC messaging app and hangouts.
I've tried different ringtones, I've rebooted and it works for the first text message then stops.
Im using Santod's stock 6 sense rom.
Anyone have any ideas?

In the stock messaging app go to settings>Notifications and see if "play notification sound" is checked. Then in notification sound set it to the preferred sound and see if that works.
If all else fails do a clean install of the rom and you should be good to go. I am currently running the same Rom and on first boot my ringtone in sound settings was set to silent.

Thanks for the reply, everything is turned on as you suggested. I even changed the ringtone back to a HTC ringtone thinking one of my custom ringtones was causing the problem. But no change. I was trying to avoid the reset but i guess that's my only option.

Ringtones settings

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with the sound settings.
When i go to change the ringtone for calls, sms, alarm etc it shows the mp3 files that i have in my phone and not the stock ringtones menu of the device.
I clicked that option accidentally the first time i went in the sound settings, and i can't undo it.
Is there a way to see the ringtone menu again?
Thanks!
