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!
does anyone know how to fix this....thanks in advance
did you set the sound notification to repeat?
it will not let me check the repeat box
same thing happened with mine. i changed to a shorter ring tone
If its a long ringtone it wont stop until it ends even if your viewing the message, so the only solution is to have a very short ringtone 3-5 seconds long
Have you got mp3 trimmer in Programs?
If so, you can choose a portion of the song to use for texts.
It used to annoy me, until I got the T-Mobile MDA Vario IV, and saw the program!!
i'm running stock and i have made two different ringtones and when the phone screen is off, when someone calls me it rings for 2 secs and goes quiet. when i am browsing the web or am on the phone the whole ringtone plays. i am using ringdroid, has anyone had this issue?
I recommend ringtone maker or look around on zedge. It is most likely the apps fault because this is the first thread I have seen about ringtone problem.
I was wondering if there was a way to automatically pause music when you get a phone call. As of right now when I receive calls, the music would pause to allow the ringtone through, but when I answer the call, the music starts playing again. Anyone know any fixes for this? Thanks.
Whenever I get a phone call even when my phone is vibrate it seems that my ringtone always plays. At a low volume though. On messaging if I have it on vibrate when I'm on somebody's conversation and they text me it plays the tone for that. Is there anyway to disable those two tones from going off on vibrate?
