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!
HI
need some help here, somehow my phone is not detecting any mp3 under system/media/audio/ringtones or notification
i use to do this in order to have any ringtone but now it's not showing up, is there any way to do it???
thanks
make folder "ringtones" in root of sdcard(internal) and put ringtones. Restart phone and you will see your songs.
I see most but not the one I want :S it's weird making my changes.
testing yours atm
flashed fw again, and then moved the ringtone I wanted, worked as I wanted, also your way it's ok but can't use it for sms
thanks
Hello,
the last two days I missed a bunch of calls, then I realized that the ring tone doesn't work. I'am using the CM9 RC2 and until last Tuesday everything worked fine.
The music-player works and a the beep sounds too when I turn on the speaker volume.
Has someone a proposal what's wrong with my phone?
Thanks a lot, Daniel
PS: The vibration-alarm alarm doesn't work too. It must be a software problem! Then I turn the phone off, the short vibration works!
Which ringtone are you using? Sometimes it will change it by itself and not work. Also, if you are using the 'Digital Phone' ringtone it only rings once, but the ringtone 'Pyxis' (I believe) will loop it. Also check that the phone volume is not muted (the phone has a couple different volumes for media, alarms, and notifications).

I set every volume settings to the highest value. Normally the different ringtones were played when i switch them but nothing, only silence.
Mea culpa, it has all been my fault! What a beginners mistake! The last days I tried different NFC automated settings and, don't ask me why, it activated the CM profile "Silent". I would have thought that the profile changes the settings in the ringtone menu too but it hasn't.
2 hours stress because of a little mistake!
Hello, I have a problem with my Nexus 5 (stock) ringtone and vibrate, I also had the same issue on my HTC One, which I had changed to Google Edition.
If someone calls the phone will ring and vibrate for about 1 second only and then it goes silent and stops vibrating, the call is still there ringing on the screen but just no sound or vibrate. This iv very annoying as I keep missing calls, can anyone please help with this issue.
Thanks

Did you ever find a solution to this? My phone has started doing exactly this, and I don't really know how to even begin troubleshooting it.
Yes I did. It was a 3rd party app causing the problem. A call control app that lets you accept and block numbers.....
Thanks for replying. That was my problem too. You saved me going through app by app to figure this out.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there is a fix. I have a two week old Nexus 5 on 5.1, completely stock. I set my ringtone to an Mp3 "song" that I have in my music folder by going to settings/Sounds and Notification/phone ringtone, and selecting ES file explorer to choose the Mp3.
When I get a phone call the Mp3 plays as my ringtone as expected, and stops when I answer the call. However, if I don't answer the call, as soon as the person hangs up and the missed call notification pops up, the Mp3 I have chosen for my ringtone will start playing and will not stop. It just plays over and over. Exact same thing happens on my wife's N5 when we purchased the same time. Any ideas what's going on??
