[Q] Froyo update notification sound problem

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?

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

Notifications!

I'm having a notification issue I was wondering if anyone else might have experience with. I use handcent, and I'm getting double notifications for some reason. I've used it for a long time and know how to turn off the factory settings, and they are! I just don't understand why the damn white envelopes keep coming in and two different tones when the notification us clearly turned off.???

Are you positive that the receive box for the default MMS app is unchecked? Double check, also try clearing defaults. This is all I can think of as of the moment

EVERYTHING is unchecked, I'll try clearing defaults though.

I even thought about just removing the stock messaging app, but I read some where that will cause problems.

No notification blinking light for SMS/MMS

Hi guys.
Am running a stock Evo 4g, and when i receive text messages, the notification light does not flash. Iv made sure to check that is checked on in the settings menu, but for some reason more often than not ive an unread text message (SMS) but the notification led does not flash. the notification light flashes just fine for all other alerts, eg gmail.
also, am using the built in sms app. no third party sms/mms apps installed.
what gives?
regards,
asmd.

Did you check in the messaging app settings or just phone settings...I'm not sure but there might be something in there that has it turned off...I can't confirm cus I'm running miui and my settings menu is different than yours I'm sure

thanks for the reply.
have checked both menus. The setting menu as well as the messaging app menu. cant find anything that could have been turned off to set the notification led not to flash.
regards,
asmd.

googling for this only brings up my own post here at xda!!
wtf?? how can i be the only one with this problem?
am running stock, no root, a couple of games installed, skype, fb... no alternate core system apps. triple checked all settings, and yet it doesnt flash when i receive text messages.
*disgruntled*
asmd.

after a couple of resets, ive got the notification led back again.
really know what i did to get it working or what caused it to stop.
so summary, reset solved the problem. (after 3rd time)

Just so you know, the LED will stop blinking after 6-7 minutes of you receiving a text/MMS/missed phone call....
It's by design. A HTC rep told me it was to 'conserve' on battery power.... LED's don't use THAT much juice...

thanks for the reply.
i knew that.
my problem was that it wouldnt flash at all on receiving a new text message.
but its working now.
wish i knew what went wrong.

no notifications for any app (sms/facebook/email etc)

Hi there!
I am on a DHD Dutch stock version, kernel: 2.6.35.10 / build 3.12.405.1
I have a problem with the notifications: I don't get any! That is to say..I do receive a notification in the bar and there is the flashing LED,m but no sounds. This is for all apps which are supposed to give you sounds (facebook/email/whatsapp/sms etc).
Of course I have checked the settings..I also tried a hard reset, but neither are working.
According to the shop I will have to send my phone, but you can imagine that I don't like to send my phone away for 2 weeks if I can solve this myself. I was waiting for the ICS update and with all the hassle going on for the update (is it coming or not...), I would rather wait with putting a custom rom on it..
however since the absence of notifications is really annoying...does anyone know a solution?
thanks a lot,
Karin

Missing Notifications
I had the same problem back before i put a custom rom on my phone.
i would say just root your phone and flash a rom of your liking. MIUI is nice
that would fix your problem.
with me i think it turned out to be a conflict between the notification settings in my apps and in the phone itself.
in messages there should be settings to change the notification. have you looked there?

I guess i will have to do that if nobody knows a solution...i think it is some kind of bug...in the stock rom...
I have checked my settings, and...resetting to factory settings didn't help to get notifications back, not even for text messages for example...

Notification fix
I know you checked settings.
Did this include opening the message app to the main screen, them pressing menu>settings>notification>play notification sound?
also while in notification settings on your messaging app, choose one of the sounds and is should play as a preview. does this work?
have you set "quiet hours" on your phone?

no , just checked again
damn...so i guess i am going to root again...it is a while ago...my last custom rom was with my samsung i8910 :s

Wanted to let you know that I solved it
First, I have set all settings, being the general settings, specific settings and app settings to ' do not receive any notification'... This didn't change anything, it even kept on giving led flashing although I disabled that....
than I did a factory reset again...after that, all settings were on 'standard', and nothing was working...
Then I changed everything to a custom sound in stead of the standard beep... No luck....
then I did the factory reset again....and than suddenly it worked
Yeah....
(although I am still seriously tempted to root )

Ringtone problems

This sounds really stupid but anyone else having a problem with the ringtone you select staying? I select a ringtone and then verify but every time I get my first call after it goes to dumb Verizon airwaves ringtone. My notification tones stick like normal. Just really getting annoying.
Thanks

Never had that problem ....

Yeahp i had it...seemed to have stopped tho.

I'm still having the problem with the ringtone not staying. Still reverts the VZW Airwaves after first call. I checked to see if I disabled an app to cause this and struck out there. I'm wondering if its do not disturb. I keep it on always and only let contacts call.

Same problem here

Hopefully someone will chime in with why it's happening. Ive run out of ideas.

I saw that someone did a factory reset that solved the issue

Any news?

Mine is still happening. I've been busy working but I may try a factory reset. My phone started bootlooping this morning when I got home from work and put it on the charger. Restarted like 6 times. Lots of bugs

I'm still not having any issues, well except this

I had this issue at first. Do you have ES File explorer? Mine was borked because of that. So i had to disable that from being default. Then it still wasn't working for my SMS only text tone so I switched from Hangouts to Google Messenger, changed the tone then switched back to Hangouts.
When I was doing that Hangouts had the right text tone selected but that wasn't what played. So i used "SMS" as default SMS account vs my Gmail then switched it back the be more organized and it worked. Haven't tried changing tone since so idk if thats needed each time

I'd again verify your not going through a file explorer menu and thats its not the default app. Instead system explorer

Okay good to hear. I'm just going to wait and deal with it since I will be exchanging for a new device. Thanks again for letting me know.

No problem

Been having this same issue on my replacement Note 7, (ringtone never switched to default on my original Note 7). I used Samsung cloud to restore some settings on my replacement Note 7 and that could be the culprit.
I really do not want to do a factory reset as I just spent a ton of time setting my phone back up this week.
I moved the ringtone from SD card to internal to see if that would fix it from reverting. Will see...

I had the issue on my original defective Note 7. Not having it on my new one.

Maybe unrelated, but are you using any kind of audio volume manager? Some of them (like AudioManager Pro) will store ringtone information, so when you toggle modes, the ringtone comes along for the ride (reverting one that you may have manually selected).

I put a brand new ringtone on my internal drive Ringtone folder yesterday and when I turned on my phone this morning, it had reverted back to the Verizon default ringtone again. Any ideas how to get the ringtone to stick other than a factory reset?
