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!
I have it ...so im happy, now i need to tweek it so it works well.
Conversations..anyway to turn it off, i would rather just have recieved messages in the inbox and sent messages in the sent folder, i hope its possible ?
Im running csdevctrl so will see how that works, only reason im using it is i ride my motorcycle and dont want the phone answering itself in my pocket.
Think thats it for now ?
Oh and best player for movies ?
Oh and message alert tone, why cant i use a custom one ? i mean..i can use an mp3 file for my ringtone but only use the standard poo'y sounds for the message alert.
Sorted the message alert tones, just copied which i would like to use to My Documents and it shows up in the sounds tab now, so its set as the message alert .
need help on the others though.
I am running CM 76 and for some reason my sounds in games, my alarms and playing music work just fine, but when I get a text, email, notification or a phone call, my phone won't play those sounds, regardless of which tone I choose. It won't even play the sound when I go to preview them in the Sounds list. I click on them and it just selects them, but won't play them.
I have no idea what to do, I have tried rebooting and reloading the nightly, and a few other nightlies and still NOTHING!!!
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!
i know throw it at the wall with a nolan ryan curveball, then after the pitch hulk smash it then they should come back on,just like that! and u have to do it in that order......just messin wit ya bud go to cyanogenmod settings and find sound make sure it isnt silent then go to regualar settings and try the same....oh wait i see u get other sounds with text etc, dude try a fresh install but before that make a backup so u can revert back if the fresh install does nothing

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
