hi i am not getting my notification ringtone when i am sent a tex message i have done the easey things (still not working)
thanks
Maybe 1st post your Android version and maybe a screen print of your settings from Messages would help. MESSAGE > MENU > RINGTONE SELECTION
Could also be that the messages volume is at zero level, check volume in Audio Profiles.

Is there an option i can set so that when im using windows live messenger and someone messages me my phone would vibrate of make a sound. It does sound and vibrate on the first message but after that I have to keep looking at my phone to see if the person im chatting with has message me. Because once the conversaion box is open all it does is blink, not make any sound This is very annoying. So if anyone knows a tweak or an option i have not come across to fix this problem i would greatly appreciate your help.
Have you tried to set the notification in Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds and Notifications?? Tap the Notifications tab and set the sound file you want for "IM: New instant message". Be sure to also check the box "Play Sound" to enable the notification sound to play.
I have read and searched, read and searched and read and searched. For some reason I can't change my notification ringtone for nothing. I can't even use a different stock one.
Someone please help!

Yeah, what this person said. There should be an option to change your notification sound there. You can also change, for example, your message sound by hitting the menu button when you are in the message app and then click on settings, notifications.
Something to help you that I posted in another forum.
Default Notification
Your DEFAULT notification can be found in settings > sound
or personalize soft button > notification sound > default notification
Message Notification
If you want to change the MESSAGE (sms/text) tone you would think that you could just change it from personalize soft button > notification sound > message, but unfortunately that does not work. Actually it will most likely do nothing. If you want to change your message notification then do it through the message app.
If you use HTC Messages as your messaging app: Open "Messages" then hit menu button then settings then notifications then notification sound and choose your message notification here.
If you use Handcent as your messaging app: Open "Handcent" then menu button then settings then notification settings. Here you can select a sent notification and a fail notification. But select notification settings one more time and here you can select your message notification sound.
I would think GoSMS is setup the same way. I don't have this app so I cannot give details.
Email Notifications
Your Default Mail app gets its notification sound changed by personalize soft key > notification sound > email. Make sure notification sound is turned on in the settings of the Mail app itself.
You Default Gmail app uses your default notification sound as far as I can tell and cannot be changed separately.
Alarm Notification
Alarms can be changed with personalize soft button > alarm or where you configure your alarm. A separate custom notification sound can be set here for individual alarms.
Calendar Notification
I don't use the calendar. As far as I can see, you can set up notification sounds through the personalize soft button or by going to the calendar app and changing the notification sound in its settings. Because I haven't tested this yet I cannot say if the personalize soft button way actually works. May be redundant just like the message notification sound and does nothing. So to be sure change it through the calendar app itself.
Ringtones
Ringtones can be set numerous ways. Through the personalize soft button or settings > sound > Phone Ringtone or By selecting the menu button from the home screen and selecting ringtones or by selecting your tone with the HTC Music app and selecting the menu button and then set as ringtone.
Contact Ringtones can be set when editing contacts.
Missed calls are visual notification only and Voicemail Notifications use your Default Notification sound.
Note: At what locations can your ringtones, notifications, and alarm sounds can be found?? If using an app to select most likely the tone can be anywhere. You will be allowed to navigate to your custom location. If using an HTC sense menu then you will have to have your custom tones saved in a special custom folder. On the root of the sdcard create these 3 folders if not already there. Ringtones, Alarms, Notifications. If you download the tones from HTC Hub first it will autocreate these folders for you so you don't have to create them yourself. You can now put your custom tones in each folder.

guys i have little problem on my lg optimus 3d when someone send me a message not ring any tone .. i have select the different tone but nothing happen and my phone is not on silent other tone work prefect but message tone is not working any solution please
Try downloading a free ringtone maker from the android market (some do tones as well) and see if that works.
how did you setup the sms tone?
go to messages (eg from homescreen by clicking the message icon), press the context key, select settings, and scroll down to "Select ringtone".
also check the sound/volume settings:
main menu > sound > volume > uncheck the option "use incomming call volume for notifications" if its active, and than you'll see another bar for Notification. select the maximum and press OK. try to send an sms to yourself and see if you'll get the tone.
No matter what I set under Settings > Sound > Notifications > Notification Sound my One X plays back the same sound whenever I receive an SMS. Is there somewhere else to change the sound or is this a bug?

open the messaging app
click the menu button
settings
NOTIFICATIONS
change to whatever you like.....
any app that has settings and notifications, likely has its own sound settings so you can customize apps so you know what alert it is
Thank you!
Im used to know that when i lower my volume or set vibrate, everything will vibrate, apps, calls, text, etc.
Am I doing something wrong?
I also have this
I'm not sure why but I have this issue, and to add to that, I cannot change the volume of my ringtones. Its either full blast,vibrate, or off. I think its a simple software issue that can be fixed with a future update.
Settings > Sound > Volumes -> Link ringtone and notification volumes.
Toggle that option.
