For some reason, I'm not getting notifications of text messages when my screen is turned off. Neither the actual audio or the vibrating. It's sporadic; sometimes it works just fine. But it's becoming a problem. I have xdaShutdown, but I'd hate to have to use that every time. I haven't even tried it to find if it makes any difference because it's just not a good solution. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I'm going to go ahead and email HTC, but I don't have much hope for that.
Thanks,
Andrew
Just wondering if this was a common occurance? When my phone is on a lower volume at work, I've noticed when I get messages the notification sound doesn't always play. The phone still vibrates and I've made sure its loud enough to hear, it just doesn't play until I restart the phone.
Anyone else getting this?
Currently everything is stock apart from using Nova launcher. (haven't had it long enough to start playing with ROMs )
ive noticed this sometimes, but i think changing it from the message/emails settings will fix the issue
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???
So this just started a few days ago, I noticed that the notification sounds stopped working. Locking the phone stops making a sound and all notifications are silent. Watching videos and incoming calls are audible however.
A reboot fixes the issue, but it returns soon after.
I didn't install any new apps recently. Updated some, but nothing new.
Any ideas?
Same thing happened to me upon upgrading to 8.1 If I reboot it solves it for a little, but shortly afterwards no notification sounds again. Not sure if anyone has found a solution or are having the same issue?
Same exact problem here. Very annoying. I'm thinking of trying a factory reset.
If you do a factory reset let us know if it works, I've been thinking the same, if I do I'll let you know.
I thought I was the only one having this issue. Randomly comes on and off.

I checked the sound settings after updating to 8.1. All of them had changed to silent or something else you couldn't hear. I reset every sound, alarm, ringtone, notifications, etc.
I have to do this after every update. This is due to the fact, that I use the factory image to update.
So, I think this happens when I use a bluetooth device.
I notice that after I disable Bluetooth after using a headset for a bit, that the sounds stop. Anyone else can test this theory out?
You may be on to something. I use the bt with my car everyday. Noticed the same thing.

After 8.1 on my pixel XL notification sounds have stopped working. I determined that it has something to do with the bluetooth. After connecting bluetooth and then turning it off that is when the problem happens. But, oddly enough, notifications sounds do work again when bluetooth is turned back on and connected....but stop again after bluetooth is turned off. A reboot fixes the problem but it happens again once bluetooth is used and turned off again. Please fix it Google.
Same for me but I only lose the Google Voice text message notification and a reboot fixes it.
It happened to me connected and not connected to Bluetooth. It would also happen to calls as well, missed some important phone calls because of it.
I am having the same problem. I'll check to see if BT connectivity is the trigger.
Same thing happening to me.. I use bluetooth daily too.
I am having the same issue. Any fixes? Has Google acknowledged?
Still happening with me. I have to reboot every few days to fix it. Very annoying.
Happening to me as well, specifically for text notifications. Sometimes the sound is triggered, sometimes it isn't.
I rebooted more than a week ago and it hasn't returned and I use a Bluetooth headset and Bluetooth in my car daily. I haven't gotten the January security patch, wondering if they slipped a fix in there?

I was having the same issue. I think it started after one of the security patches. I contacted google's support. they had me put it in safe mode and then see if it comes back. I did that, and it seemed to not break in safe mode. In theory, that means it is not a google issue, (Im sure they will play it that way) but Im not sure if it is caused by bluetooth, or something else. Anyone having the issues using a smart watch connected to it?
This is very annoying. I am still having this issue that started shortly after 8.1. Notification sounds stop working. A reboot fixes is it but the problem comes back shortly thereafter,,sometimes within 24 hours. Interestingly, the notifications still work while bluetooth is connected...not sure what to make of that. I am loathe to do a factory reset but if anyone has done it with success please let me know. Thank you.
Same thing here. I'm contacting Google regarding the issue. I've noticed a similar symptom since I've been using an android watch:
my watch gets notifications on time but my phone doesn't react. When i clear the notifications from my watch, my phone sets off multiple notifications in a row. Example: text, text, email, email, email, email, email, text, calendar. It's very annoying.
Now my phone makes no notifications. I've changed all notification sounds to full volume, I turn off bluetooth completely and my phone only vibrates for calls and doesn't make notification sounds or turn on the display as they come in.
While connected to a bluetooth device, the notifications come through that device but nothing or vibrate only on my phone.
Hi all,
Hoping someone brighter than me can figure this sound issue out.
THE PROBLEM:
Half of my sounds don't work, rendering my phone useless in the current state. As the title says, Ring, Notification, & Alarm sounds do not work. You know, as in the important stuff that makes your phone, a phone? And makes you wake up in the morning? None of these respective sliders under Sound & Vibration settings make any noise when making adjustments. By contrast, my Media and Call volume sliders DO make noise when adjusting. And sure enough, once on a phone call, I hear things just fine (Call). And YouTube, Spotify, et al. (Media) also work just fine.
Because some sounds work but others don't, this has to be a software issue, right? This would be easy if it was hardware and 0% of sounds worked, but nope, it's partial.
BACKGROUND:
This pixel 3 xl is relatively new to me, but has ran A10 and A11 with a few different ROMs with 100% of sound working flawlessly. But out of nowhere, sounds suddenly stopped working correctly as described above. And it didn't occur immediately or shortly after a new rom flash or update or anything like that. Just stopped working, months into a well-running ROM.
I've tried a couple different ROMs now to fix the issue from a completely clean install (/format data + flash latest google factory image as 1st step) but none have fixed the issue. Specifically, pixeldust (A11) and evolutionX (A11) were my latest troubleshooting attempts with no avail. Pixeldust was the ROM that was formerly working and then after months of 100% sounds working, suddenly stopped.
It's odd that searching throughout the ROM threads that no one else seems to be having this issue. Again, this would be easy if it was a hardware failure. But that doesn't explain how it works for Youtube/Spotify but not for other things, so it has to be software.... I think?
I figured I'd start a thread here rather than start posting in each and every ROM I've tried to troubleshoot this. Thank you!
This might not be relevant because I'm using stock Android on a Pixel 4a but my notifications have gone silent and this report was the only similar search result I found. I tried changing the notification tone and none of them played a short snippet so I'm wondering if the problem is there.
I have not found a solution for this issue.
One thing I noticed recently is that when I'm on a call using the regular "earpiece" or whatever it's called (which works fine), if I switch to speaker phone, I can't hear anything. I have to switch back to the non-speaker ear mode and I can hear the call again.

I think I may have finally found the solution!! Sometimes it's the simple things in life that work, rather than reflashing a billion different ways that finally gets things working again.
In this case, I simply cleared the cache and storage for the 'Sounds' apps under Settings -> Apps & notifications -> See all apps -> Click 3 dots in upper right corner -> Show system. Then, I deleted cache and storage for TWO apps, both called 'Sounds' with 2 different icons. I'm not sure which is the system app and which is not nor do I know if clearing only one of them was necessary, but this is what has worked for me and has survived several restarts thus far. Good luck!
