I just installed the 5.01 Lollipop update on my Note 4. After the update the Notification sound is the default sound. I have changed it to another sound on my SD card and it plays fine, but when the notification comes in it still plays the old tone. Any ideas? I have tried changing it on the messaging app and in the sounds/notifications menu to no avail. I have also verified the tone is available on the SD card in a folder called Notifications and is playable.

I have the same problem. Must be a bug. I had to individually change the notification tone for each app..

Have already tried changing it for email and text messaging with the default messaging app. Even with the sound settings in the apps it still doesnt change.
I haven't tried to change the email app yet but I did change the message app and it did work. I had to select the actual tone I want to use. Using the default setting for some reason doesn't work.

I have tried using the default setting and manually selecting the tone I want in the email app and the messages app with no luck.
Works on mine. Maybe a pain but I'd try doing a factory reset. Could be cause of a difference in the two file systems (kit Kat & lollipop) . I've noticed you can do just a reset of the phone with out wiping data. Might wanna even try that.
Before doing a reset, try booting into recovery and clearing cache partition first. Do this a few times with a reboot after each one.
Good Luck
Potential Fix
I was experiencing this same issue after upgrading my Note 4 to Lollipop yesterday. I tried changing the Android notification default to another sound and then back, I tried changing the sound through the Message+ app's settings and then back, but nothing seemed to work.
What eventually worked was going into Samsung's Messages app, setting it to be my default SMS app, changing the notification sound (through Messages app's settings) to something other than what it was on and then back to my desired sound, and finally switching my default SMS app back to Message+. It now seems to be working properly.
Hope this helps others.

Hello everyone. Thanks for all the great help over the years. My settings app crashes whenever I click (tap, touch whatever) the sounds settings category. When I setup my phone Google automatically loaded the "Rings Extended" app which I used to use on my old phone, but doesn't support ICS yet. It worked for a few days, but would never save my ringtone and notification sound settings. Now it just reports that "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" whenever I try to go into the Sound option. Any ideas what I can do to fix it? FWIW the phone is unlocked and rooted, but still on the stock image.
Any hope for this problem? Are the configuration settings for sounds stored in a text file somewhere that I could change manually?
Same here!
I had this problem a little while ago and I'm trying to remember the circumstances and how I resolved it. Iirc, it happened after I used rings extended to set a ring tone, causing my sounds setting to crash. What I think I ended up doing was using ES explorer to select one of the standard tones as the ring tone and that fixed the crashing.
Hope this works for you.

Well I seemed to have worked around the issue. I installed a sound profile app from the market then used it to change the ring and notification tones. After a reboot for good measure the sound settings are working again. Hope this works for you too.
So the other day I decided to start running CM10 and it's pretty awesome. Significant differences and running smooth for the most part, but I have realized I am not getting notifications that I should. Texts and calls are fine, but when it comes to Facebook notifications, Twitter updates, Emails, etc... I get nothing. I have all the correct setting on the apps to notify me as I always had it but for some reason it's not working now. Any suggestions? Anyone else have this issue?
Have you checked which audio files it's using for the notifications you're missing?
Your default notification audio file may be set to "silent". That's happened to me before. I just change it to an actual audio clip and it's fine from there on.
CM10 has no problem notifying me of facebook, etc.
Attached is where it says "silent" at the top.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I checked that on all the apps and specifically set ringtones that work so they aren't on silent. I'll look more into the phone settings but as far as the notification tones go I set it up so it's not on silent.
I'm not getting Twitter notifications at all even though they're set to enabled... I get Facebook ones, it only vibrates though. I'll have to check if it's on silent.

Some Facebook notifications come through now, but no Twitter updates at all. It can't be the app considering it worked fine on stock. Also, anyone know how to get stock navigation on CM10? It wasn't there when I installed g-apps and it's not in the market.
CM10.2 same issue
Hi!
I got same issues, some of my app don't sent me notification since i have tryed CM10.2.
Can anybody tell me what's wrong?
I 've checked my sound and apps setting and they're ok...
So???
I had done probably one or two too many dirty flashes, so this morning I decided to go ahead and flash and wipe data/cache. The performance increase is pretty noticeable so I'm glad I did it.
I've got about everything back the way I had it and went back to begin setting my sound profiles back up. At first, I went to set my phone ringtone setting and it wouldn't play. I found the problem was that it had kept my old profiles and found a post on XDA developers that said to delete and recreate them. So I did that and now the phone ringtone selector works perfectly.
However, now I'm going in and trying to set the notification sounds. Setting them works flawlessly (in that when the application has a notification, the correct sound plays) but there's no preview (when the list is open and I select the sound from the list- it won't play). I have set one and tested a notification from the app group and it works, but I was hoping to change some and can't listen to them.
I've cleared both caches and run fix permissions hoping for something easy but no go.
Any ideas?
About a month ago I screwed up my phone and had to LGNPST it for the first time. I'm not even sure if this is the moment this problem appeared but it may have been the start of something. Before that, I was running a JB CM build with a GPS lock issue that I never got around to fix and decided to fix it before I flashed a Kit Kat rom. That lead to a bad stock-based flash which then lead to the LGNPST fix. I then flashed to a different stock-based rom, updated PRL and obtained a GPS lock, then flashed a few different roms before settling on the offical CM 11 rom.
Somewhere after the LGNPST I ran into problems with the sound volume settings being completely ignored and this issue appears across multiple roms. I'll have the settings set to silent and it'll still play some odd sound whenever I receive an sms. When I try to change the sounds, nothing plays when I am previewing the sounds and if I select one the settings will crash. The ringtone files do exist in /media/audio/ringtones and they play correctly in Apollo. I have also downloaded Zedge and used it for setting the sounds inside the settings screen and it does not play the sound when previewing and crashes when I select a sound. Setting the ringtone inside of the actual Zedge application does work for the notification ringtone, but does not work with phone ringtone (it does appear to be changed in settings, but no sound is played during calls). Furthermore, when I attempt to set the sound in Hangouts for either SMS or regular hangout messages, it does not change from "Silent" but does not show any crash messages or anything.
In a possibly related note, every time I flash a new rom it will get stuck on activation until I just skip it. However, data services work completely fine. I have no problems with making calls, 3G/LTE, sending and receiving sms including pictures.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Dammit. I'm a long time lurker on xda and I should know better. This post was meant for the sprint troubleshooting section. I decided to try searching this side to see if the issue was experienced/resolved here and forgot to switch back for posting. Can an awesome mod possibly move this to the sprint troubleshooting section?
Hi everyone
I was wondering if someone could help me with this. Thing is I didn't want to upgrade to lollipop but the phone started restarting by itself, freezing and a screen with "facebook has stopped" or "google services has stopped" will appear constantly in the las few days. I had to perform a factory reset and when I did, the phone upgraded by itself to lollipop. Everything seemed to be working fine but now even I assign an specific notification tone for each contact whenever I receive a whatsapp message it will not work and the standard notification tone will sound instead. I was so used to identify whoever was whatsappin' me just by the notification tone and now I can't. Do you know if this is a common issue related to the lollipop upgrade? or does it have to do with the factory reset and I might need to uninstall/install the whatsapp app? If this has todo with the l upgrade it will be so frustrating because nowadays nobody on the world actually calls but texts and it is more useful to have an specific notification sound for each texter... Thank you guys
