Messaging notification ringtone doesn't always play - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

My incoming mms notification ringtone doesn't always play completely. I use the whistle one but it usually sounds like more of a whimper. Once in a while it'll play the full ringtone but often it'll cut off abruptly, sometimes not even playing at all. I've missed getting messages due to this. I've tried using different ringtones all with the same outcome. They sometimes play completely, but mostly they don't or not at all. Is there any way to fix this?

Once you've reached your 200 text limit or w.e you set it at the ringtone cuts off. Try deleting your messages and it should play the whole ring for you.

If you use zedge to assign sounds you will not experience the "cutoff" issue.

Try un checking that setting in the Messaging App? The "Delete Old Messages" one

Use zedge to assign your notification sounds.. Then you won't have the issue...

This didn't work for me. But the cleaning out message thread did (for now).

thats to set up the ringtone.. i went throu there several times.
i had set up my ringtone but still when i get a call it just beep one time and then it stays on silence
That is unusual, if your phone is new maybe you should exchange it.
It very well can be a dud of a phone....
Could try a factory reset.

sound goes off by itself

i love my S3, but this is driving me crazy. for no reason the sound will stop working for notifications, and or feedback. I triple check the sound levels and other settings and everything is on, mute is off. sometimes it will not notify and just vibrate for like 20 seconds.
The only way to restore it is to powercycle the handset. This is so stupid im thinking of factory reset. I also checked for updates and there are none available. Please help!!
Thanks
I don't have an answer but I can confirm I have the same issue.

If you have your text message limit set to 200 messages and you receive number 201 from someone the notification sound will get cut off because it has to delete a message and it doesn't have the brain to do 2 things at once. I found this solution in the Verizon forums. If this is your issue then be sure to thank them.

(Q) Random Noise

my phone keeps making a noise like a notification but nothing is there its like a two tone sound "ba duh" happens like 3 to 5 times a day seems like a notification but nothing is there no led flashes, nothing just noise. Anybody can make anything out of this?

two tone sound, i guess when sits there just now started happening never has occurred no app changes no change in use as in daily basis of what the phone goes through. i never heard it while do anything but i do too much anymore on my phone txt and calls and some game apps thats it though.
You will probably have to pull a logcat and look at it immediately after the beep occurs.

Is the beep a familiar notification sound? Is it your default notification sound?
Does having your phone in vibrate/silent make any difference?

[Q] Messaging notifications

Is there a way to assign different notification sounds to individual contacts? I have the stock messaging app. Maybe through another app?
I use Handcent, which gives you full capability to customize notifications based on contact. I tend to have my phone on vibrate only most of the time, but I customized the vibrate pattern for a couple key people, for example.

Anyone ever notice if you just swipe away a new txt message in the dropdown, within a few minutes you get the same notification? You always have to open the txt message, then jump back out. I find this a pain since it tells you in the notification almost all message txt anyway. Does anyone else have this issue?

Always had this issue since ICS. Recurring notifications have always been annoying.

I thought so. Had a similar problem once. Just stopped randomly on a new flash of a ROM.

SMS sound not playing

Hi everyone...
Got my s4 yesterday but I noticed the notification sound never plays when I receive an SMS...works for email, gchat but for some reason never for sms. I've tried doing a hard reset, going into sms settings, going into sound settings and nothing...Any ideas?
There is notification on sms setting menu too. Did u check that?

Yeah went into sms menu and checked it and unchecked it, changed sound still doesnt work
Mine stopped ringing after i installed handcent. Uninstalled it and it started working. Then I installed ninja sms and same problem. I'm guessing you can't have another type of sms app or it will stop the notifications from the stock messaging. Which is pretty weird since I've never had that problem on any of my other phones

I was able to fix it by just doing another battery pull which is weird cause i did it before but oh well as long as its fixed...I'm using the stock msging app
