About a week ago I was searching for apps for sound profiles. After reading and installing and uninstalling a good amount of them, I came across "Simple Sound Profile" which ended up being the best for my needs....so I thought! It was not doing the commands I wanted it to so I ended up uninstalling. The problem is my "notification sound" will not change regardless if I change my phone to silent or vibrate. It still remains making a sound. I have emailed the developer of the app 3 times with no response so I'm a bit frustrated. Anybody know of a way I can fix this? I really don't want to have to do a factory reset especially since I've seen others with a similar problems, that did not help. I don't want to try any other profile apps since this one really soured me on them. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hello, all. Couldn't find anything on this elsewhere, so...
Was listening to all the raves about Handcent, so DL'd it from the Market on my EVO & have been using it for several days. Pretty good app & seems all the reviews were pretty much spot-on.
However, last night, when launching the app & selecting a message, my phone shut down & power-cycled. Waited on the phone to boot, went back into the app, selected another message & it happened again.
Hasn't happened since, but the only thing I know is different is that I also DL'd the text-to-speech add-on from the Market.
Anyone else experienced this?
Thanks to all the members & devs for their contributions, insights & info!

I wouldn't blame Handcent for that. The EVO (and most HTC phones) have a reputation for randomly restarting sometimes.

Understood. Wasn't really "blaming" Handcent, but wondering if anyone else had the same experience since both times I was using that app & trying to select messages to read.
Never had that happen when I was just using the stock SMS app.
If it happens again you might be on to something, but I've never had any problems with Handcent in 7 months.

Thanks, Biles. I've read lots of posts by users that have had nothing but good things to say about Handcent, which is why I was so surprised. Since my post(s), I haven't had this reoccur.
Something else has happened a few times, however. Intermittently, the secondary characters on the keyboard won't pop up. For instance, long-pressing the "c" for an apostrophe or the "k" for a question mark only results in a "c" or "k" being typed on the screen. The only way I've been able to get it to work again is to PC the phone.
While they're probably not related, I haven't had this happen since the latest OTA update from Sprint, but time will tell, I guess.
Thanks for the feedback.
i can help i had this issue to,my problem was that i set a notfication sound from my sd i even had to re flash what i did was i added all to tones i wanted in media in there respective folders in the rom i hope this helps
I am using Handcent and I dont have this issue...however my timestamp is off and even if I set -5 hours, it still doesnt work
as goofy as this sounds, you might want to try a battery pull. or an uninstall and reinstall of hand cent
I've never had any probs with it either in the month I have used it
are you running JIT on your ROM?
Hello Everyone,
I tried researching this topic but haven't found any with that seem to deal with my issue.
I'm having a very interesting situation going on. I upgraded my phone to ICS, and have done a Factory reset. I have noticed that my Default Notification sound will be set to Piezo Alarm, and my ringtone will to Ta Da. No matter what I change them to, my phone will revert back to these within 24 hours. Has anyone else heard of this? or have any suggestions on what I can try?
Thanks

Glad im not the only one out there, i have this same issue and would like to know if there is a fix for this as well.
I have gone back and tried FLASHED the ICS update via ODIN and still have the exact same issue. Tried multiple Factory Resets and still it reverts. I did a search from my PC and found "piezo.ogg" in system\media\audio\alarms and renamed it to "piezo.old" to see if that makes any difference. I'll let you know if this has any effect.
I've run into this issue with multiple roms (Sky ICS and CM9) although not to every 24 hours, but it just randomly seemed to forget what ringtone I chose and went back to the default one (it would be listed as "Unknown Ringtone). I think maybe it doesn't like that I'm using an MP3 as a ringtone.
Hi people from XDA,
today i tried a few things with my S7 running resurrection Rom with Android 9, which resultet in a boot loop. I tried using unofficial xposed framework and some recommended modules. This Problem got solved with a factory wipe inside my recovery.
After the wipe, i obviously had to setup my system again.
Then it happened: a constant ringing sound was heard, sounding more like a ringtone. I tried killing all background apps and playing around with the sound settings, but nothing worked. I rebootet the phone and it seemed to have solved the problem, until it started again after some time. I checked for malicious apps and all kinds of settings, including do not disturb and other stuff.
What I did find out, was the fact, that the tone was linked to the ringing volume slider/setting.
I would appreciate any help, but nothing like turning off the sound. I want to know the source and reason for it to happen.
I have some new information. The tone is played, when i have unread messages in my status bar. After opening all the messages from the bar, the tone stops. Sometimes its buggy, then it continues until there are new messages that I need to read to make it stop.
Edit: I found the "name" of the tone. i didn't find it under ringtones nor notifications, but under wake up sounds. The name was Argon, but there were two Argon Sounds, which is weird i guess. the lower one sounds more minimalistic and the upper one is the one im currently having problems with. It sounds longer and more like a "happy" tune.

OK so just delete it from system directory.
Such a simplistic idea! Thanks. Didn't thought of that. I'll try it.

Tried it, but it made some interesting things with my phone. Although the file was from alarm sounds, notifications suddenly had "19" listed as a set sound, which was actually nothing. I changed it to "none" and waited for notifications to test it. I think it worked, but i cant remember, because i had some unrelated (or maybe related?) issues. My magisk manager stated, it had no magisk installed, meaning i didnt have root anymore. I tried to reinstall magisk, but that made my device reboot after a specific time after every boot. Right now i'm trying to fix my Rom. Feels bad.
Edit: Rom works perfect again. Deleted the sound file again and it seems to work.
For now my Problem got solved by deleting Argon from the alarms folder.
If I get any more errors, I'll post them.
I'm very thankful for your answer and I hope my explanation of my problem was not problematic.
It has happened 2 times now with my Google Pixel 2, where out of nowhere, the phone makes a very alarming FULL VOLUME airhorn blast sound. One time it was while the phone was resting idle on my work desk, and the other time happened just this morning shortly after I silenced my alarm clock. I'm assuming whatever process makes the sound somehow overrides the volume to 100% as it was loud enough to wake my entire family. Both times there was no visible notification, nothing on the screen out of the ordinary, and I've searched the storage and /system for any trace of such offensive sound effect.
Does anyone know what would cause such a noise? I'd love to track down the sound file and rename a silent .wav or .ogg in its place. It is beyond annoying and alarming. In my panicked half-awake stupor, I managed to save the logs from OS Monitor, but I have no idea what to look for. I've scrolled through hundreds of entries between the timestamps when the alarm sounded, but nothing "stands out", but I really don't know what to look for in this regard.
In looking through the logs, I'm wondering if the monthly OTA update couldn't download due to my unlocked bootloader, and sounded an alarm? Is that a possibility?
Sounds like a prank. Are there any apps installed that you don't recognize?

After the first time it happened I was a bit suspicious so I went through and removed all apps that I didn't use on a regular basis and all games. I ran a few scans looking for malware and such, but it all came up clean. About a month later the sound happened again, so I'm a bit baffled. Unless there is some type of culvert program running in the background disguised as something else, I'm really at a loss.
I recently flashed the monthly update, so if it happens again, I might just go ahead and do a full wipe.
Recently as a safety precaution, I removed nearly all apps the other day. It happened again this morning. I suppose it's time for a full wipe. I'm a bit irritated because I have no idea of the origins of whatever it is, and since I don't recall ever having any questionable apps installed, I'm not sure if one of the apps I use will revive this symptom.
I just got my son an S21+ and the notification sounds don't work. Ringtones work fine and when I go to the list of ringtones every one previews when I select them, but when I go to the notification sounds, I can choose any one on the list and no sound comes out of the phone. I also copied a notification sound file over from my Note 10+ and it plays it in an external app, but not when I choose it in the list of notification sounds.
System sounds don't seem to work either. When I unlock the screen or plug in the charge cord, it doesn't make any sound either. The only system sound that seems to work are ringtones, and the phone actually rings when I call it.
I searched online and checked everything I found and could possibly think of. Since nothing happens when choosing ANY sounds in the notification sounds list, it seems like some sort of android issue. Do Not Disturb is NOT enabled, and all volumes are maxed out. There are no particular apps muted. I don't know if it's a hardware or software issue, but it seems like that part of the system is just broken. The phone did update to 13 as soon as I set it up, so I have no idea if it worked before that. I did a factory reset, cleared cache, and ran the repair apps from recovery, and it still doesn't work.
Just wanted to post on here an see if anyone had this issue and if so what else it could possibly be before I send the phone back and get something else. It is also a refurbished phone which I guess could have something wrong with it, but almost every phone I have ever owned was a preowned phone and this is the first I have had an issue with. Any info is appreciated.
I realize that this was posted 6 months ago but my phone has the same problem and I would like to know if a fix was found ?
I posted on here and a few other forums and got nothing but crickets. I ended up just returning the phone and buying another one and it worked fine. Did you get the phone like that or was it working fine and then one day it wasn't?
