PhoneAlarm SMS: no sound notification - General Topics

Hi
I've been using PhoneAlarm for a while but recently it doesn't play any sounds when an sms comes through. MMS sounds work fine and so do all other sounds and ringtones, but sms messages just vibrate.
I have tried changing the sound in the phone sound settings (which works) but when I change the profile in PA it stops working again.
I'm using the latest version by the way!
Does anyone else have this problem too, or a solution?
Cheers,
Joe

Well that was an easy one, just realised it wasn't registered and the trial had expired so alarms were disabled!

Losing SMS & Email Alert Tones

Hi All, I've noticed that a few times my TC has stopped playing alerts for SMS & Emails. I've gone into the "alerts & notifications" page, and when I select the SMS or Email drop down and hit the play button, it still doesn't work. (Standard phone call ringer still works though)
As soon as I change the choice of alert, and back again, it starts working again.
Any idea what's causing it to stop, or maybe hang? I've tried using different tones, but it's still the same; works for a while and then doesn't.
try after changing u,r sound profile.
FWIW, I had the same problem with my Touch/Elf when using an MP3 for alerts. Sounds like a little software bug to me.
jefmcg, I've tried changing the MP3s to WAV but it still happens.
Alipi, you seem to be right, it happens after I've change to silent and back again. It doesn't seem to put the email and SMS tone back to normal volume.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I'm using the O2 profiles app to change profiles, as the HTC home one doesn't allow you to put any additional ones on. I like to have a "sleep" profile, which doesn't beep for SMS or email, but does ring the phone.
Open to any suggestions or workarounds!

Hi,
I have the same problem. But until today I though I´m alone . And I haven´t investigate that it arises after I switched form silent to "normal". Have to look into this as well...
Sorry, but I haven´t got any workaround, maybe someone else...
Pobably dont belong in this thread but i have the exact same issue/problem with my Tmo Wing, everytime i change the sms tone (incoming text) it works fine for the first 5 or so text but after that just goes silent when receiving new ones...a fix or advice would really be appreciated...i have no clue
UPDATE!
Ok, so I'm an idiot!
I thought I had deleted the mp3 versions of my ringtones and replaced them with wav files, but I hadn't. I've since done it, and whilst they do sound slightly different (crap converter?), it SEEMS to have fixed the problem....
...at least I've tried to move in and out of silent a few times, and the tones still sound!
So, guys, perhaps try converting them to WAV and go from there. FYI, my tones sit in the windows folder.

No - for some strange reason, ring tones need to be in \WINDOWS\RINGS, but SMS and other notification tones need to be in \WINDOWS.
Yet Another Update!
OK, so converting to WAV, only worked for a while, it did eventually stop beeping for texts and emails.
HOWEVER... philip gave me a great recommendation of PocketZenPhone, which is much more powerful at managing profiles, and especially on the text and email alerts, ACTUALLY WORKS!

[Q] Ringtone and Voicemail don't work!

My voicemail doesn't work I don't know why it doesn't, is there a QPST setting related to that?
and also my default ringtone will not work period. My messaging and notification sounds work all fine and zedge set my default ringtone just fine. I tried a call yourself app and it does a fake calling myself and it uses the default ringtone I set so it must be the phone.apk right? What would be causing such a weird issue?
Any help would be much appreciated!

[Q] HTC Notification Sound Issue

Hey All,
I have had an issue with my HTC ONE ever since I completed the 4.2.2 update. My notification sounds do not work for SMS, Email, 3rd party apps such as Whatsapp or Facebook. My ringtones work, alarm, music but when i go into notification sounds i can click on any sound and nothing works. Once selected when i receive a message no tone is played. My phone vibrates and you get the notification indicator but that is it.
Does anyone know about this issue or have had this issue? If so how did you fix it.
Thanks,
Derrick

Ringer and notification sound problem

Hello,
Some time ago I bought a Mi Note 10 and I'm happy with this phone overall. Recently, by the way, I noticed a problem: sometimes the phone put all ring and notifications sound at zero, without any interaction by the user. So I miss calls and messages. Has anyone experienced the same problem? Can anyone suggest me a solution? Thanks in advance!
My best,
Fabrizio
Incoming call sound
Hello. I have a problem with my Xiaomi mi note 10. When i have incoming calls the phone just vibrating, but does not have any sound. When i getting sms, messenger calls, notifications everything ok. I tried to put music on every number, tried to make SIM sound but nothing works. I dont hear when someone calls to me. Is it problem with my phone or just settings?
I had the same. Despite everything correctly allowed and set there was no sound for incoming SMS. However I had downloaded a different messaging app from PlayStore. When In reverted to the stock app, the sound worked. I don't think Xiaomi likes other apps although I didn't have the problem on my other Xiaomi phone. Look for setting to allow other apps or revert to stock app meanwhile. UPDATE: I uninstalled and then reinstalled the new messaging app and the notification sound worked.
