Has anyone had notification sounds go missing from the menu? My emails stopped making a sound this morning and when I checked the sound it was set to is no longer in the options. It just had a number set rather than whatever the sound was.

There is a sound that goes off faintly during a call when I get an email or a text. How do I change what that sound is? I can't seem to find it in settings. Maybe I'm looking past it? Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Start - settings - Sounds & Notifications - Notifications tab
There you can pick the sounds for any of your event notifications. The default one you hear is "Alert-Glass1"
Thank you! I hope that does it. I already have all of that set though. Perhaps what happened was that I got something other than a text or email that I haven't changed the sound for yet.
I have a random notification sound on my phone and I can't figure out what it is. It's like a "reverse doorbell" if you can picture that. Instead of DING-ding, it's ding-DING...so low ding to high ding. When I go to my phone there is nothing in the notification area.
I don't have a ton of apps installed, about 3 pages worth when I pull up all of them.
I feel stupid for not being able to find out what's doing this, but I'm starting to get frustrated. Thanks for any help!

Try this: Go to into the Sound settings of your phone and navigate to the notification sound setting. Go through all the sounds and find the sound that matches the one you are hearing. Note the name of the sound and then go into each app that has a notification sound and see if any of the apps currently are set to that notification sound.
Or this: Turn off all notification sounds for all apps that give notification sounds (email accounts, calendar, SMS apps, etc). Confirm you no longer hear the sound and then one by one start enabling notification sounds for each app. Hopefully you will be able to pinpoint which app is making the sound.
Hope this helps!
Dingding
Did you check to see if your gmail account had notifications turned on? Mine kept making that ding-ding noise until I figured out how to disable it.

Ha, I was hoping to avoid this (going through each app) but that's what I did. Turns out it was Yahoo Mail. I turned off the notifications at the top of the screen, but they hid the notification "sound"! Thanks for your help!
If I receive emails or have calendar event come due while on a call, I get the notification sounds playing in my ear while I am trying to listen to my caller. I cannot find a way to disable these sounds while I can connected to a call. Am I just missing something or is this a limitation?
I don't think there is. It is super annoying. It happened to me last week on a very important business call. I got several notifications while on that call and couldn't hear some of what the person on the other end was saying, it was loud enough that I thought even maybe they heard it.
Yes! Thanks for bringing this up. I'd love to at least make them quieter! I've had friends who tend to send multiple messages; I keep getting multiple alerts during a single call. It's very distracting.
Settings - System - ringtones and sounds - just untick what you don't want and choose "none" to any email, voicemail, sound alert.

That will just turn those sounds off all the time. That's not what we want. We only want those sounds off or a lot lower while on a call.
During a call the notification sounds are extremely loud and very distracting.

I guess that is not an option given the weird missing features WP7. (ringtone customization, ability to change volumes separately, having the ability to quickly choose between ring + vibrate, vibrate only, do not vibrate nor ring at all)
Changed my default notification and ringtone sound to one that I downloaded. It plays fine when I select it in the Settings --> Sound --> Ringtone/Notification. However it does not play when I get a call or a TXT. And yes, my volume is up.
On a side note, I am so ticked that I cannot set the ringtone and notification volume levels independently!! I cant stand the wait for ROOT so we get some good ROMS

Maybe a dumb question, but have not installed any type of profile app right? I use profile apps so I can quickly change to different setups for night, meetings etc.
Well I do have Sound Manager installed. Since the ringtone and notifications is tied together right now, this app is mostly useless.
I did verify that sounds were turned up. Once I selected a sound that is included with the phone everything is fine. really a pain.
I just installed Fulmics 6.1 onto Lg G3 D855/16GB.
All working nice except I lost notification sounds in Next SMS.
I don't get any sound when new ones arrives, if don't catch the screen that lights up for the sneak preview of SMS I miss the new SMS.
I tried to set the sound in both handcent > settings > notification as well as in Android settings > sound and notifications.
I am not in silent mode, yet notifications are still not playing sounds.
Any ideas?
To clarify things, I am not expecting this to be Fulmics causing this. More that now that I got both android 6 and fulmics 6.1 at the same time the GUI changed a lot and there might be other ways to adjust notification sound then what I have found.
I've tried all the settings I can think of.
I started out with Android settings, making sure notification sound was enabled.
Then I chose to set special sound for apps, and chose next sms.
To be certain I changed to the sound to a mp3 file in my download folder.
Still no sound.
Went into next sms > settings > All > Notification & Reminder > Notification settings > Notification Sound
Here I can see the sound has changed to myfile.mp3
Still no notification sounds.
Browse and google for answers and find a page telling me to reverse all things in sounds and notifications to NO SOUNDS. Well I tried, I even tried to follow the program and reboot for each change I made. After several reboots I eventually got to the part where I again chose to turn on notification sounds, and did the final reboot. Puh. STILL NO SOUND when I receive sms/txt.
I've almost pulled all my hair from my head in pure frustration, I can't walk around missing txt's because my stupid phone suddenly don't give me notifications. Try to tell that to your boss, no you see my phone don't give me audio notifications when you text me. Sure my boss wont buy into that.
Pls help.
