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 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!
The subject basically says it. I can't find a tutorial for my specific phone the Sprint Samsung Transform. I have downloaded my songs, trimmed them down, created the ringtones folder on the root of my sd card, and dropped the mp3s in there. went back to phone settings sounds and notifications. changed my phones ringtone, that worked. now i want to change the sound the plays when i receive a new text, but i cannot find the option to do that on the phone. am i missing something or is there a hack or anything that will enable this?
i found a sort of fix for this. change your notification ringtone to whatever you want your text message ringtone to be. the only problem is it makes that same sound for every notification. most noticeably when you plug your phone ino the charger. thats the best ive figured out tho.
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.
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!
