[Q] Ringtone and Voicemail don't work! - General Questions and Answers

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!

PhoneAlarm SMS: no sound notification

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!

Notifications Tone Question

Does anyone know what the Notifications ringtone under the main setting in sound and display affects? I changed it around, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. If I change the notification ringtone under messaging it works, same with email. Just not sure what the main one does.
Any ideas?

Notification sound won't change

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.

Really weird ringtone bug.

Everything was fine until I realized I cant change my custom ringtone anymore. Whatever ringtone I set the custom one would ring even though it showed the other one is selected. So I deleted the ringtone and then was able to change it.
However only after a little while the phone just stopped ringing, the default tone seems to be silent and whatever I put it wont change. I put back my custom ringtone, rebooted, then deleted all the custom ringtones again and yet I am unable to get my phone to ring.
I have tried setting a ringtone through playerpro music player as well but to no avail.
The notification sound comes as normal. I am running stock unrooted 4.0.4. What should I do?
Figured out the problem. There were some specific contacts that did not have a ringtone assigned to them and my own second phone was one of them from which I was doing the testing. I was using a profile scheduler app previously and in that I had put some of the contacts on the whitelist to allow them to call me even on silent mode. So it was the app which was controlling those contacts and even after uninstalling it the settings hadnt defaulted.

Nexus 5 - Android 4.4 Kit Kat Hangouts Custom Ringtone?

I love using this phone so far, but the one thing I can't stand is I've changed my notification ringtone to the proper one, but hangouts doesnt use it at all. Im assuming hangouts wasn't integrated fully and thats why it doesnt use the notification ringtone as the proper ringtone. Is there a path to the ringtone that hangout uses?
I have no problem backing up that ringtone and replacing it with my custom ringtone. I've had to do this before for earlier versions of android and for iOS. I just need to know where to look.
I will have more time when I get home but tonight will be a long day at work so if anyone see's this and can answer it, I will appreciate it greatly.
Thanks,
Sikh
Ok so the option is actually under settings under the hangouts app. Its Hangouts App > Settings > Sound.
I wish it would be in the actual sound settings like all of the other sound types (Phone, Notificaiton) but oh well.
I love consistency, so I looked where I thought it would make sense and then figured it wasn't implemented. But I went back just now and looked in the settings of the app and realized its right there.

ok, you've found where it is... anyway in this menu you can set it to use the system default so you can change it on system setting and make it change even in hangouts.

You were correct, there is actually no setting to edit the ringtone for voip calls in hangouts through google voice. It sucks.
You could download Zedge.
The bug still exists in Hangouts app 3.0 released today that prevents changing to a custom ringtone. The default Hangouts ringtone is too quiet. Google is such a sloppy software company these days.
How have you guys NOT noticed this yet? The vibrate tick box registers (it turns it on & off), as tested by incoming calls. But changing to any ringtone does NOT register, always ringing with default sound still. Bad Google, very bad, after about 6 months since Hangouts + GV integration in sept 2014, this basic feature is still missing.
If I (or anyone with basic programming skills) had access to the Hangouts source code, it'd take less than an hour to find & fix.
