For some reason, I don’t get any notification sounds when I receive messages via Google voice. This is my only text service.
I have checked all the settings and even the settings within the GV app. The volume is up all the way.
Yes my speakers work perfectly, but I’m just not notified with a sound when I get a message.
What’s wrong?
Rebump. Quickly getting buried.

My TP2 stopped making any notification of incoming text messages or e-mails. I thought that incoming e-mail/ sms was controlled by the sound control, and that when we turned single volume off, we were setting one volume for ringing and another for system.
Silly me, I thought that System was e-mail and SMS message. But it looks like it is only things like low battery. Am I correct?
Where the heck is the control for e-mail volume. Also, I am trying to make distinctive rings for some individual e-mails. I have been able to go into an individual contact, edit contact, and then go to ringtones. But will that give me an individual ringtone when they call, or can I also get an individual alert when they text or e-mail me.
Then net of my problem now is that e-mail reception is silent. Then when I get the sound back I want to know if it is possible to get individual alerts.
Thanks.
Settings>Sound>Advanced>
make sure Events and Program Notifications are checked.. and go into Notofications and go through the pull down menu and make sure new email and new txt and new mms have sounds selected and checked "play sound"
Thanks. I did not make it deep enough into Notifications.

I am noticing that when I am on a phone call my alerts are silent. The phone will vibrate when a notification comes in (for example a text message) but it will not play my alert tone. This is a problem because if I have my phone on the charger while I'm talking I won't know if I receive a text message until I get up and check my phone. Does anyone know a way to make it so that I can hear my alerts when I'm on the phone?
Do you have the alerts tone volume turn up
Settings* sounds* volume

yes I do. like I said, I can hear them fine when I am not on the phone, but when I am on the phone they are silent. I am used to still being able to hear my alert tones even during a call, so this has been very problematic.
For those they may be interested in the resolution: After doing a little bit of digging I found out that the lack of in-call sound notifications seems to be a limitation of the stock android app. Because of this, I was forced to use a 3rd party application for my text messaging. I have installed Handcent and is providing me with in-call sound notifications for text messaging.
I have tried a few notification apps, like LedMeKnow ... and there is a thing I can't find: voice message notification. Most apps do missed calls; issue is that there are technically missed calls the phone is not aware of: when it's out of network. Some providers send SMS in this case. When the other party leaves a message, you get a message icon.
All I want is a LED + vibration reminder when this icon is on. And I can't find any app doing this.
Not sure this has been asked before, but I was unable to find anything, so if this has been answered, please direct me to the right thread.
I receive message notifications from Whatsapp on my Gear 2, but nothing when I get a Whatsapp call, only a 'missed call' notification afterwards if I do not answer. I could not find any way to enable this. In fact the same thing happens with Skype, I receive message notifications but no call notifications.
I assume there is nothing that can be done, any ideas?
The Gear 2 Neo doesn't catch the calls directly, neither from What'sApp nor from Skype. The Gear Manager can only catch the after-call notifications when What'sApp and Skype generate them on the phone's Notification bar.
Until these apps support Wearable's from within the apps or at least generate a notification event when calls happen, you will have to live with that .
I have problems with the do not disturb settings. When activated, Apps are still able to play a sound if a notification comes in.
My configuration is
Media in do not disturb turn silent > on
Exceptions:
Notifications - blank, no option activated
Message and Calls - only from favored contacts (with stars in contact app)
At my old Samsung S9+, I had similar settings and it worked like it should. Even as example, when a favored contact sends a whatsapp message, sound plays. When a normal contact sends a message, whatsapp was silent. And no notification sound from other apps.
Do I have a misconfiguration or is something wrong with the DND?
