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?

Hi guys,
I'm not really new here but this is my first post. I've been reading xda forums for days now and it's nothing but good info and helpful tips. Just wanted to thank you guys for all your hard work. With that said, my phone just stopped notifying me that I have a voicemail completely. I checked my voicemail box today because my friend told me he left me a message about something. I had 8 new voicemails that I didn't check. I'm running Auto task killer so it kills all apps I've checked when I turn off the screen. Do I need to uncheck something from there for me to get voicemail notifications??? I'm not new to Android but when it comes to knowing what I'm exactly killing, I'm lost. There are bunch of apps running like com.htc.....and etc and I don't know what they are. So if you guys could please give me some help to get my voicemail notification to work I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

You can try to update your profile under system updates then reboot your phone.
i will give that a try. thank you very much for your super quick response.
Still nothing. I'm confused.

Rather than start a new thread...
Just today, I started getting a notification that a voicemail was pending, then that it couldn't be downloaded. I dialed into my voicemail, retrieved the vm and then... the darn notification won't go away.
I went into Settings and tried removing it. Didn't help.
I rebooted the phone. Didn't help.
I called the VM number, made sure there were no messages there. Same thing.
Any ideas?
Using the OTA2.2 and I have installed the OTA VM upgrade/update.
Open your voicemail, - press the menu button - settings - notifications - see if the check mark is on, select a ringtone. Back out completely, reboot your phone.

Should the check mark be in the Notifications box or not?
Should I try selecting a different ringtone??
I unselected the check that was there and rebooted; still have the notification. That seems really crazy to me.
Try leaving yourself a new VM and then check it...

I've actually had two new voicemails since then- they showed up. When I listened to them, it disappeared and then reappeared a minute later.
On the phone w/Sprint right now.

Having the same problem, did you get it fixed and if so please tell me how.
UPDATE: Found the fix in case anyone else has this problem
Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Voicemail/Clear data
- This will wipe out your old Inbox messages but your filesystem will come clean

After about 1/2hr on the phone with Sprint, that was the exact same fix they came up with.
Actually a nice discovery, as that directory has a lot of nice options.
holy bumpination.
instead of hitting clear data you can force stop and reboot and that should fix it.
(force stopping and then clicking on the visual voicemal icon should be ok too)
Waterboy is right! it's much easier and you don't lose your voicemails!
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

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG THANK YOU !!!!!!!! You have no idea how frustrated I was with this !
I really appreciate it man.
Any ideas why this is happening? My notification tone (the old spice commercial jingle) does not always finish playing when I get a notification. Sometimes it plays the entire jingle, other times it doesn't. At first I thought maybe another notification was interrupting it but it happens when I get single notifications. I then changed notification tones and it does it on another one also.
Any ideas?
Try unchecking delete old messages in sms settings.
If thats not it try some other settings. I cant remember the exact fix for sure but it has been addressed a few times on here in the past.

I tried that, it does this for other notifications also: email, RedditSync, calendar, etc.
I have had this happen before as well. Even did a factory reset the first time it happened thinking it may have been caused by something I installed.

Now that you mentioned that, I uninstalled Lightwave LED notifier utility. Lets see if that is causing any issues.
Hey,
My Nexus 7 is acting a bit strange; it is not making system sounds any more. Things like notifications, music and Hangouts video calls all make a noise, but I have noticed these not working:
Keyboard Clicks
Lock Sounds
Google Now Dings and Voices
Touch Sounds
I definitely have all of the things like keyboard clicks turned on. Help?
Thanks!

My first suggestion is to look through your apps and remove any you are unsure about, then reboot. I had the same problem with my droid RAZR and a factory reset fixed the problem. If you go that route and it still doesn't fix it, take it back and get a new one.

I found the issue; it was a lockscreen app that I had uninstalled. That lockscreen changed the sounds, and you had to disable it's System Administrator to get them back.
Thank you!

No problem. Glad it's fixed!
OK this problem has been bugging me. Its started a few weeks back and i thought when i updated to 4.3 it would go away. But no luck.
Here is the problem. I have a Samsung S3 SGH I747M on Rogers was on 4.1.2 stock rom rooted. Now im on 4.3 stock rom rooted.
My phone keeps changing the notification/ all volumes on it own to very low. I can hardly hear it. I reboot my phone and its back to normal and all volumes are were i set them. Now i did notice that when it does go very low all my volume sliders go to the max position but everything will be very low.
Its driving me crazy. I have uninstalled several apps that i thought might be causing the problem but nothing seems to fix it. My next step is to do a factory reset. Which i really don't want to do as i have my phone set up the way i like it.
I'm hoping some of you phone gurus out there can help me find this annoyance.
Thanks.
Wow. No reply's. I guess nobody has had this problem before. Ill keep looking.
My volume dips occasionally, but I'm on pacman Rom with viper4android installed. In my case it happens when viper decides to randomly crash.

Did you have any audio mods installed ? If so then that might have caused the problem because to fully uninstall those you have to remove some of their system files or if they changed your build.prop you might have to undo the changes.
Other than that im not really sure what might be causing it.

I have the same issue. I uninstalled Ram Booster and disabled Power Savings Mode. Problem still exists but volume change is much less. Also ,it happens exactly when screen turns off. Factory reset did not solve it for me.

I just started experiencing this issue as well. Never noticed it before as I always had my phone on silent for school but now that im on vacation I turned the sound back on and I can't hear the locking and unlocking sounds unless the phone is right next to my ear. The keyboard and the basic touch sounds are very quiet too. Wondering if you managed to fix this problem ?

Hey Florad77,
Yes i did manage to fix it. Tasker is the culprit. Its not playing nice with the 4.3 update. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and everything was working fine. No volume changes. Then i set up some tasks, simple ones like turn off my Bluetooth when i leave my truck etc. And low and behold the sound issues came back. It must be when tasker trys to run tasks that it F,s everything up in the phones settings for sound. I just uninstalled it again and i also removed secure settings as well. Here is a review of Tasker from google play with the same sound problems.

Sound notifications don't work... After the recent update, notifications stopped playing sound files, unlike always. A power related task keeps firing when it's not supposed to. 4.3.yuga.pac

I hope this fixes your problem. Mine is work just fine now after the uninstall.
Volume issues fixed.
OK. I was still having the problem even after deleting most of the apps i thought were causing the problem. But had no luck fixing the volume issue. I remembered my son saying he has had a problem with his phone not connecting to the Bluetooth also but his had a different error. So i asked him what his issue was and he said every time he tries to connect he gets an error saying "unable to play during call" So i googled his problem and found the answer and it fixed his Bluetooth error. I then checked my own settings and changed it also and if fixed mine.
So If you use text plus go to settings and unselect enable incoming calls, and that will fix the unable to play during call error when using your music player over Bluetooth. And like me if your also having volume issues after connecting to Bluetooth it will fix that also. Make sure to reboot your phone after the change.
I hope this helps somebody as this problem has been driving me crazy for months now. I was so close to doing a factory reset and re flashing the rooted 4.3 rom again.

The problem with the volume that you are facing is because of a secret call in the background via Hangouts.
Basically Hangouts connects a call with someone in the background without user's interaction and phone goes into call mode.
And in call mode volumes are adjusted appropiately as it should be in a normal call and all the sounds come out of earpiece.
If you turn off Hangouts, you will not get this problem again.
Hit Thanks!, if it helps
