This is an odd issue I've had since day one.
I've defined a notification sound for all incoming events, however, when I receive an SMS text from a certain contact, my phone plays a Led Zeppelin tune I have on my SD card.
Doesn't happen with anything else.
It's driving me insane cause I can't find this setting anywhere.
Anyone else experience this and have any suggestions?

Have you tried going into settings inside the sms app to change it? thats how I did mine.
I'm having the same problem. I've gone through all of the notification settings many times and still no luck.

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!
I am using DCS v15 and even with notification sounds turned on for text messages and emails there is no sounds/beep when messages come in.
I have tried a hard reset and it still does not notify. Only every once in a while does it have sound notification for emails, but never for text messages.
Any one have the same problem?
Anyone have any idea how to fix this or have similar experience?
I've noticed that, for some reason, during the day my notifications won't sound. The phone will vibrate but I have missed calls, SMS, emails, etc. because of this. The phone is DEFINITELY on loud and I am NOT changing the volume in pocket (it happens with or without case). Everytime it happens, I checked my volume and it is all the way up.
Any ideas? PS - happens on any ROM

I had a similar issue that turned out to be due to my own mis-setting of CyanogenMod's quiet hours <.< 12PM is different than 12AM.
In your case it sounds like there is a setting somewhere that is preventing there from being a notification sound. Do you use stock messaging and gmail? Go into the settings for those applications (stock or non) and check to make sure its set correctly. Has this always been true? Have you tried doing a full factory reset? It sucks but its the best way to gauge whether or not you are experiencing a setting issue or if its really a hardware issue. Do your calls ring?

I appreciate the help; I'll check quiet hours. As I stated, calls have the same problem. Notifications are definitely properly configured in their respective apps because I get the sounds sometimes.

In your Sound -> Volume Make sur ethe "Use incoming call volume for notificatons" radio is ticked. Turn ringer all the way up and see if you can hear your notifications.
Okay, so I got go sms, and I love the app so far, but, anytime I try to select a notification from "music", I notice it doesn't play when I test it, or receive a text, but when I preview it, it plays. I mentioned this several times in the go SMS thread, and two updates later, the issue still exists. Any ideas how to fix this, THANKS.
Sent from my rooted, JITed, X10, using my fingers, my eyes, one of my brain's four cores (Take that tegra 2), and Oh, the XDA app.
that's odd. mine doesn't even select the music. after i click OK it defaults back to current ringtone.
Same I also have the same both error ringtone back to default or ringtone in music dont work. And I thought there was something wrong with my SDcard because my ringtone was save in SDcard. It works fine after I send my ringtone to root/../notification sound. But sometimes the ringtone still goes missing, no ringtone just virbation.
Hi everyone.
One real nuisance I'm experiencing is that, whenever I change the ring or notification tone, after a short time they revert to the defaults that were set when I received the new phone. It makes no difference whether I choose an alternative built-in tone or an MP3 one of my own.
It's really annoying because the default ones are so soft and bland that I often don't hear them. Also, how infuriating is it that there seems to be no way to select an MP3 tone except by endlessly scrolling through every single music track I've got stored on the phone. Especially when I've gone to the trouble of storing them in the in-built 'Notifications' and 'Ringtone' folders.
Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

Yes I agree the file system is so naive, it's not as intuitive as Samsung, Huawei, etc. The file system is half hearted at best.

Yes!! Highly annoying and not sure why it's happening or how to fix. I just want to change my ringtone and SMS sounds etc to different system sounds but they won't stick.
