Hello!
I was wondering if there is an app that would allow to play a notification sound until the notification is checked. I get a default, short sound for my calendar notifications which I often miss so I want something that plays a sound or repeats the notification sound until I check the event. It's for the HTC EVO 4G.
I've tried searching around and tried apps like "missed call" but I have not found a solution to works on the calendar.
The closest app I found is called "calendar snooze" but instead of playing the notification sound until I check it, it reminds me for every minute or so with maximum of 5 times (can be customized and more options are available in paid version). So wondering if there is something that just simply plays the sound until the calendar is viewed.
Thanks!

Forgive me if this is posted somewhere else, the search isn't working, says to try in 20-30 minutes. I tried again after an hour and no luck.
So, for some reason, on 2 roms (CM7 and a Sense rom), setting a notification sound in the Facebook app (and in a theme'd facebook app), I don't get the notification sound. I see the notification appear in my status bar, but no sound. I've manually set a sound within the app (defaults to silent for whatever reason). Not sure what's going on, but any insight would be appreciated......
I've gone into the settings and change my default notification sound from Cloud to anything else but it won't change. I can select any other sound but when I get a notification it still plays the Cloud sound.
I go check under setting and it is set to the other sound I chose but it still plays Cloud only.
Any thoughts or ideas
change in individual app's settings: email, text, etc. It held changes after doing so. Main sound settings should, but for some reason don't.

What apps in this behavior occurring in? All apps? One app? Be specific please.
It's happening when I get a text message or E-Mail notification. I set the Notification sound under sound settings and it always plays Cloud instead of whatever I do choose.
I found the setting in Messages to set it for the sound I want. My bad. Thanks for pointing me right way...
I'm having the same problem.
I have the main notifications sound in the setting main menu to clouds for example, I'm using K9 mail and I have the sound for incoming mail set to something else, but when new mail arrives I get the main sys sound of Clouds. I tried setting up the stock email client and had the same result. The Text message sound plays different, but not the email.
Anyone know?
I was able to set both in their own apps. Messages & G-Mail the sound settings were there. It is now working on mine. I just failed to find it at first.
I've been searching around the web and have not found an answer to this problem. Regardless of the phone being on silent, vibrate, or even do not disturb, text notifications still interrupt the music that is playing. It happens with Google Play Music, Pandora, and Spotify.
I downloaded a couple apps to manage media and notification volumes individually, but one didn't work at all, and the other simply muted the notification but the music still lowers for a second, as if the notification is still occuring.
Can anyone help me out? This is quite frustrating.
Please, and thank you for your time.
Update: I noticed this only occurs with a headset plugged in or connected via Bluetooth. When using the phone's speakers for music playback, notifications do not interrupt the music.
Workaround: I managed to find a slightly more bearable solution. Here is basically what I did.
1 - Download third party texting app for play store.
2 - Assign new text app as default.
3 - Go to Settings -> Apps, find stock messaging app, and disable all notification settings.
4 - Modify new text app notifications to vibrate only.
I don't know if some of these steps are excessive/unnecessary, but I'm tired of tinkering around so much, so I'm settling here. I hope this can help someone that finds themselves in the same situation. Again, I do not claim this to be the best solution; just slightly less bad.
problem:
"Android Messages" app uses "Default notification sound" instead of "Message received" sound.
the app was configured to have all the available notification types enabled (only "Other notifications" is available in the Notifications Category).
i've also checked and made sure "Android Messages" app has enabled all the "App permissions" (Storage, SMS,etc) and also "Other permissions" (Home screen shortcuts, Show on Lock screen, etc)
the native "Messaging" app behaves like expected. it plays the adequate notification sound
reproduce with:
1) set "Android Messages" as default sms messaging app (instead of the out-of-the-box Messaging app)
2) configure 2 different sound for "Default notification sound" and "Message received" sound in "Sound & vibration" settings menu
3) arrange to receive a sms (notification)
4) assert that "Default notification sound" was played instead of the expected "Message received" sound
questions:
is this problem being experienced by anyone else?
is this a known problem?
does it happen with all third party sms messagin apps?
SW version:
ROM version - Global Stable ROM
MIUI Version - V10.0.4.0.PDGMIFH
I'm pretty sure this is just a sound that works with the default messaging app only
for the time being, it sure looks like so
thanks
Yes. It's common. Xiaomi removed our ability to set custom notification sounds. Any third party app uses the default sound. It's quite annoying actually.
yeah.
skype, slack, gmail, etc, all sharing the same notification sound, sucks big time
Using something like MacroDroid, Tasker or setting a sound with Feel The Wear (only if you have a WearOS watch) could be something to consider in the meantime, I hope Xiaomi add this feature back in though. It's very annoying.
I have searched on the site and don't find this issue. Despite everything I have tried, I cannot change the from the soft, default Google Messages notification sound. I have even tried changing individual sounds on a person by person basis and that doesn't work. I have gone into sounds and notifications in settings, also tried by going into the Messages app. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Easy way just get Zedge and add new sound through that

I can change the system default with no problem but the default per contact is a fail, so I feel you. Same with other alerts, like my Google Cameras. Wil lNOT set a different alert sound than the system default

I can't even get the default to change. I have tried everything I can think of. Sounds and notifications, in the app itself, just can't figure it out and this is my 4th Pixel.
There are two locations for "setting" notification sounds for Google Messages as well as "default notification sound" UNDER "Sound and Vibration"!
Now if both of these are set to the same thing then everything will work OK. However, if the default location is set to one sound and the app setting is something else...then it's a toss up as to which will take precedence.
So here is my suggestion for two possible solutions.
Under settings>Sound and vibration>Default notification sound>My Sounds and select NONE. Now you can go to the messages app itself and tap on your avatar in the top right>Messages settings>Notifications>Other notifications>Sound and choose whatever sound you want. This will give you the sound you want for any messages you receive in the messages app. However, this will leave any other type of notifications such as a calendar reminder with NO sound (unless you assign one specifically to the calendar in the same relative manner as you just did with messages. I chose the calendar as an example because once you dig in and find the notification sound set for your calendar it is probably set to "Default notification sound" which you just set to NONE.
The second possible solution is to change the default notification sound to what you want and the messages app to the same sound. This will ALSO make all the other notification type sounds the same as in the previous calendar example.
Now you can always set the calendar to some thing different and it MIGHT work as you set it despite the default being set to something specific and it might not.
So of the two methods I have suggested the one that should work the best is to set the default notification sound to NONE and then go into each individual app that may give off a notification sound and give each one what you want. I hope this helps!
I am able to change my default sound to a different per app basis by going to profile picture and then clicking on message settings and select notifications then selecting behavior sound and more and from there select incoming messages then choose your sound for your messages. This is how google messages does it

Thank you for the detailed write up. I tried both solutions but still nothing. I even took this one step further and tried to sync the two with the ring sound so all three would be identical. However I can't do that because none of the tones in the ring match notifications or message sounds. I don't know what the glitch in my matrix is, but this is frustrating as heck. This isn't my first rodeo, and I refuse to believe I have some special P7P that prevents message notification modifications.

Can you share a screenshot of the "Behavior Sound" screen? I don't see that as an option on my P7P. Thank you for the response.
Here you go
Oh I forgot 1
I'm sorry I put it kinda step by step I just put it the way I would like to see it
Please let me know if I can be a further help to you
I also do not have a setting called "behavior sound"?
I wonder if it appears due to a particular setting or because of the model number of your P7P?
Here is a YouTube video telling you how

It is so weird, after playing with settings for days, yesterday I started hearing my phone doing the notification for when out Ring cameras detect movement. Since I don't always check the video right away, it took until this morning to understand now my message notifications have started using same ring tone. What is weird is I set that tone during the time of this conversation. Huh...
