Long story short, I changed my text message sound to Pulse Beam as soon as I got the Z Fold3 in August. I cracked it, and got a replacement mailed to me in early February. I transferred everything, and it was pretty much a success (for the most part).
So last night I wanted to change Pulse Beam to something else. I went to my Messages, Settings, etc. and changed it to something else (let's use Nebula as an example). Well, I hear the Nebula sound when I press it, and see that it is set. I exit out, and when someone texts me, it's still Pulse Beam. I go back in Settings and see that it's still on Nebula. I have tried about 10 different sounds (even from Zedge) and while it appears to be working (let's me set whatever), it's still the same old Pulse Beam when someone texts me.
Now, I can still set individual text messages and that will work (say I set Joe to Nebula, it will be the Nebula sound when he texts me), but that is a pain. I don't want to set 200+ new contacts.
I don't know what happens if someone not in my contacts texts me, but I'll try and find out later today at work. Anyway, how weird is this? Any ideas?

Have you tried clearing data and cache on the message app?

Edit: It's all good now. I was changing Message General Notifications instead of New Messages. Always the easy fixes lol.
Yes Android has changed notification sounds so the are linked to notification events instead of settings inside the app.

Can't Access Sounds Settings
Even after a hard reset on my Dash I can't access my sounds settings. I can access all other settings except this. I am pretty stumped. I think I am going to try the htc rom unless someone else has an idea. This has me concerned though as the hard reset should have fixed it. It also pretty much locks up the phone when I do it. I can answer calls and such, but I can't open any programs.
Whelp, I tried the update and still no dice. Phone has been great until now. This actually really pisses me off. I can't deal with not being able to change sounds.
Finally figured it out! It was trying to read the memory card which had a movie on it and use the movie as a ringtone option. I still don't know how to turn that off, but at least I know how to be able to change sounds when I need to.
Thanks !!!!!
... for this tip. I already hard-resetted my device twice. I don't know why this happens, but now I know what to do.

No sound for Reminders (T-Mobile WM6)
Hi,
I just installed the new WM6 ROM on my Dash, and the Reminders will no longer play a sound, only vibrate. From Settings->Sounds, changing the sound for reminders does not play it like it does for other settings (Ring tone, New e-mail, etc.). The Menu->Play option from the screen will not play the sound if Reminders is selected.
Anyone else running the new ROM having the same issue?
I am -- thought it was because I was trying to use my own sounds, WMA files that worked fine on WM5. After reading your post, tried changing the reminder sound to anything built into ROM, and found it to be as you described... Hmmm... Maybe it's 'final release candidate' ROM?

Me too!
Ack, I thought this happened because I had been tweaking the registry since I upgraded. If my memory serves me correctly, the alarms worked just after I upgraded, but then they stopped working after I did registry tweaks for several different things. I'll have to go back and remove the changes one by one to see which one did the dirty deed.
Here are the changes that I remember making:
Disable the slider sounds: /HKCU/ControlPanel/JogBar/Settings/EnablePlaySound
Used SetJogBar to re-enable the Joggr functionality
Made the change to enable Voice Command over my BT headseat:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule
I probably did some others, but am not remembering them right now.
B0gey & Chaz: did you make registry changes before you noticed the reminder function stopped working?
C.
I did, but couldn't tell you if it worked before I made these changes, as I hadn't tried changing sounds yet.
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI] (this doesn't work in WM6)
--"AttachPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox\\Attachments"
--"PropertyPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
--UseJointStereo set to 0
The only one that seemed to be sound related was the bluetooth change, so I put it back to 1 to rule it out as being related, no change.
I'd be more inclined to think a registry entry to have an effect on all sounds, not just the reminder one?
I haven't touched the registry (or modified any sound settings) at all. I noticed it this morning when a reminder was set to go off and instead of hearing the sound I expected it vibrated.
******* Fix Is Here *******
I spent about 2 minutes in the Registry and found the offending registry value...
Go into the following Key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Reminder\
and set the 'InitVol' value from 0 to 2
You will have reminders again, without reboot
I sure hope they aren't launching with this firmware
Thanks... worked, but '2' is a different volume than the rest of the stuff in my Default Profile, looks like you can go up as high as 5? I did, seems to match. Odd there isn't a way to control the Reminder volume level without going into the registry. The Profile volume settings had no effect on it.

Yes, it looks very much like a bug. The profile volume settings should change that, but apparently don't in this version.
mine work fine. I just checked my reg setting and it wasn't 0, it was 3.
I changed a couple settings in my Normal profile and that's it - all from the menu.

Woot...that worked!

Hey guys, first post here of many hopefully.
Been following this thread from near the beginning and have finally got my hands on a HTC Desire via Vodafone Twitter deal
Absolutely love this phone and it's the envy of all my friends which is never a bad thing. I'm constantly discovering new things which is awesome and I'm pleased I came and saw the Android side.
Anyway, I've come across a problem.
When receiving texts, I've noticed that the phone will not vibrate. I've made sure that vibrate setting in the Messaging settings is green ticked and that Notifications is ticked. But still not working. It works when i'm rang just not when texted.
Have tried using Handcent messaging app but had the same problem... What can I do?
Thanks guys
I've had the same problem since I got mine two weeks ago.
Have you resolved this in any way? It's bloody annoying!
Hmm, strange... seems to work on my phone ok.
Since you have already tried Handcent, try the app "Sound Manager," from the Android Marketplace. Use "vibrate settings" toggled "vibrate whenever possible," and it see if that works.
Other than that, backup your data and try a hard reset (also try without SD card inserted) to eradicate any potential software bugs.
Tried sound manager, still no help.
I can get calls and notifcations to vibrate when on the normal profile and set them to vibrate, but on my normal profile I want sound only, so have vibrate turned off. When I change to the vibrate only profile, it will only vibrate for calls and not notifications.
Check out this thread too.

I bought my Moto360 a few days ago, and I love every bit of it but one thing.
The way I have my email set is to alert me once for each folder/label (gmail). This way, when I am in a meeting, and get 15 emails, I get the alert for the first only, and not each email. This is specifically important because I have a folder setup to receive emails from various cameras and security system components in my home when I am not there, however, my wife works a floating schedule, so on the days she is home, I get a few hundred. This wan't a problem as I would only get one alert, and then the count would just continue going up, but no further noise or vibrate.
Now since my wife is home most of this week, the Moto360 goes off every other minute with email updates from my security system. This is particularly annoying, and I'm sure it has an impact on battery life.
Is there any way to change this setting? I don't want to block these alerts all together, or the application. I would just like the same settings I've been accustomed to with gmail.

So Gmail on your phone only alerts you once, but the watch alerts you each time? I would have thought that the watch would only alert when the phone does, since it pushes the alert to the watch...
Or am I not understanding?
That is correct. The watch vibrates for each and every email, and lights up. Gmail vibrates/alerts only for the first unread email in each folder, then just counts for each additional email with no alert.

Never mind...
What was the end fix, would like to know?
I haven't found an end fix yet. I would like to, so my watch doesn't go off in the middle of a meeting every 5 minutes, but for now I guess I am just living with it.

You can disable notifications for Gmail on the watch, then download Lightflow from the Play Store and use it to push notifications for Gmail to the watch. It allows you to make notifications that are very customized, including the option to limit them. Just play around with it.
It probably won't do exactly what you want, but will be much better...
I use it like this:

That may be an acceptable work around. I'm downloading lightflow now, and will try it out for the next few days.
That's didn't really get me anywhere near where I wanted to be, as it was trying to overwrite alerts for every single application. I'll live with it as it is right now, considering the battery seems to be lasting long enough anyways. Last night, I went for a 3 mile bike ride, and the batter lasted from 6am to 10:45pm, and I was listening to google play music via BT headphones half the day (from my phone, watch was remote).
It does come with a bunch of alerts pre-installed, but you can simply delete them or just fahgettaboudit...
Strange problem:
After i booted the Oneplus3 (with OxygenOS 3.0.2) i get no ringtone when someone is calling me.
After deep research i found out that moving the "silent-slider" up and down again (forcing the OPO3 to switch from "all" to "silent" back to "all" again), ringtones do sound again.
Anyone else?
Ah, found the solution on a different (oneplus) forum.
Its a bug.
Solution:
Put notification-slider to: "Priority only"
Go to settings -> slidersettings.
Go to Priority-settings
Change Messages to "from everyone"
Change Calls to "from everyone".
Put slider back to "all"
Strange bug. But this should solve it, for now that is.
Ringtone issue
I have just the same problem and contacted Oneplus. They told me to perform a hard reset, although I told them moving the ¨silent slider¨ up en down solved the problem, but only for a short period of time. So I did as they told me, which of course took me a lot of time, and after a few hours again there was no ringtone for incoming call. So I have send them another mail on friday and am waiting for a reply.
After moving the ¨silent slide¨ a few more times on fridaynight, the problem did not reoccur over the weekend, but I just don´t trust the phone in doing what it should do: ring when somebody is calling me

The workaround @stoerebink has posted should work. Please try it out. I had a chat with a Support staff who mentioned that the fix is coming in next update (probably 3.1.4).
I take a deep bow. So much honor from my simple discovery.
Thank you, thank you.
BTW: I use 3.1.3 (the beta of the forthcoming 3.1.4) some days now. I'll let you know if the problem is gone. Haven't had it yet, which is hopegiving.
I have to say thank you as well. Your solution has made the ringtone sound ever since.
Now slowly I start to think the oneplus 3 is maybe not so bad after all

No ring tone after alert slider tiggle
Problem still persists on OOS 3.2.1.. Come on OnePlus.. Missing important calls here.. Please fix alert slider bugs

Same here. I was about to post a thread about this. I am on 3.2.1 and I keep missing calls and incoming texts because the notification sounds just randomly stop working. Switching to "Priority Notifications" and back to "All Notifications" solves the problem for a little while but over time the issue comes right back. I've also noticed that occasionally I'll get the "Priority Notifications" notification next to the cell signal indicator in the status bar, even when the slider is set to "All Notifications".
It's quite annoying.
No ring tone after alert slider tiggle
I too face this issue from time to time (on 3.2.1). At times if the Alert Slider toggle doesn't work, post making changes suggested by stoerebink, and toggling the alert slider between the three settings, I reboot the phone, which seems to temporarily solve the issue.
Hope Oneplus comes up with a fix for this soon.
In my case all sound gets disabled (media player, notifications, alarm, ring tone). Haven't tried the slider trick..usually reboot the phone, but it's getting on my last nerve...not a fun feeling going to bed, not knowing if the alarm will wake me up for work.
Now people at xda have started to talk about bugs in OP3...these have been discussed numerously in oneolus forums but the oneplus team is not doing anything about these issues.
Model A3003. OS version 3.2.8;latest version updated yday. Ring vol has become silent. Done reboot, changed priority setting to anyone for calls n messages, changed ringtone, tried every single thing. I changed the settings to vibrate for calls. Even that doesn't work.
Since Wileyfox migrated from CyanogenMod to plain Android they have allowed a really annoying bug to creep in: SMS alerts are played at full volume in the earpiece during an active voice call.
Apart from being super annoying it might be dangerous in some cases as depending on the volume of the chosen tone, it might damage someones hearing.
Our device is running the stock 7.1.2 ROM which is the first release in which we noticed it.
In previous release, and almost every other device we can think of, the SMS alert during a voice call is either a simple pip or nothing at all.
Are you affected by this too? Have you found a solution (apart from a custom ROM or new phone)?
There seems no way around this in the phone setup and it seems to us that WF need to fix it. If you agree then please take a look at this FB post and vote it up - it may be we can get an update issued:-
https://www.facebook.com/officialwileyfox/posts/1872330073078309
Thanks for reading.
SOLUTION: SMS Alert during voicecall.
For anyone interested we have found a solution: Replace the stock messaging app with Google Messages.
This can be downloaded from Play Store here:-
Google Messages
It seems the stock messaging app somehow gets around or ignores the "Override Do Not Disturb" setting as shown in the attached screenshot.
Hope this helps. :good:
