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!
hello everyone, I am new here and doesnt know a lot about root/rom stuff.
so i got someone to do a full root on my sprint htc hero, decided to change rom to crunchysoft 2.1.6. then later updated to 2.1.7.
I am having problems with ringtones, I seem to not have any other options for my default ringtones.
when i go to settings - sound n display - phone ringtone = my options are just "silent" but it actually makes a ringing sound.
how can i get other ringtones? also, when i get a text msg, its just vibrates. i already when to the setting on the sms and tried to change the notification sound but it too only has "silent" as an option.
any help is appreciated. thanks
lbrwrx, I am having the same problem. I just flashed the csrom last night and couldn't get my notification sound to work. Also, phone ringer just has one ringer option. I love this rom, but I need sound for my text messages. Anyone?
Rookie here too trying to learn more. Have you tried htcevohacks.com? they do other phones too.
I still couldnt find anything. I am also experiencing a lot of forced re-boot with this rom. Im gonna try to look for another rom or go back to stock.
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.
Hi guys,
Need some help or advise here, I usually use google now to set my alarm, however the alarm tone for this morning is not my desire tone that I usually have. Unless I manually set it,
I was on cm 14/4 and I tried to nandroid back to 16/3 nightly and is perfectly well.
I did a factory reset and is still the same(alarm set from google now will not sound my desire default tone which i set earlier)
Any one occur this issue too?
Have you reset the default since the problem has cropped up? Usually stuff like alarm and ringtones get reset to factory settings with new roms because it can't find the specific audio file.
Hey can anyone successfully change there Twitter Ringtone to anything else?
I change my ringtone in Twitter>Settings>@youraccount>Mobile Notifications>Ringtone
And when i go back in it reverts back to Defaul Notification Sound.. immediately
Never had this problem on my previous devices..
I have tried Reboots, Clearing Data, Reinstalling
Twitter ring tone doesn't even work for me no matter which one I choose, only the vibration does
Well I that sucks... at least I get some sound..
Anyone getting notifications? or Custom Ringtone?
Still nothing i just did a Factory Reset still no custom ringtone and now no notifications
