Couple of favors: Spotify and Twitter - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6

I can't get twitter to keep the notification ring tone I choose(I do get notifications). Everytime I set it, it reverts back to "default".
Also, I use spotify, and when I go into settings, equalizer, and make changes to the SoundAlive Eq it does nothing (I have even tried very drastic settings), can someone see if they are experiencing the same on these two issues?

Android - Calendar Notification Sound until Checked

Hello!
I was wondering if there is an app that would allow to play a notification sound until the notification is checked. I get a default, short sound for my calendar notifications which I often miss so I want something that plays a sound or repeats the notification sound until I check the event. It's for the HTC EVO 4G.
I've tried searching around and tried apps like "missed call" but I have not found a solution to works on the calendar.
The closest app I found is called "calendar snooze" but instead of playing the notification sound until I check it, it reminds me for every minute or so with maximum of 5 times (can be customized and more options are available in paid version). So wondering if there is something that just simply plays the sound until the calendar is viewed.
Thanks!

Notification sound won't change

I've gone into the settings and change my default notification sound from Cloud to anything else but it won't change. I can select any other sound but when I get a notification it still plays the Cloud sound.
I go check under setting and it is set to the other sound I chose but it still plays Cloud only.
Any thoughts or ideas
change in individual app's settings: email, text, etc. It held changes after doing so. Main sound settings should, but for some reason don't.

What apps in this behavior occurring in? All apps? One app? Be specific please.
It's happening when I get a text message or E-Mail notification. I set the Notification sound under sound settings and it always plays Cloud instead of whatever I do choose.
I found the setting in Messages to set it for the sound I want. My bad. Thanks for pointing me right way...
I'm having the same problem.
I have the main notifications sound in the setting main menu to clouds for example, I'm using K9 mail and I have the sound for incoming mail set to something else, but when new mail arrives I get the main sys sound of Clouds. I tried setting up the stock email client and had the same result. The Text message sound plays different, but not the email.
Anyone know?
I was able to set both in their own apps. Messages & G-Mail the sound settings were there. It is now working on mine. I just failed to find it at first.

Really weird ringtone bug.

Everything was fine until I realized I cant change my custom ringtone anymore. Whatever ringtone I set the custom one would ring even though it showed the other one is selected. So I deleted the ringtone and then was able to change it.
However only after a little while the phone just stopped ringing, the default tone seems to be silent and whatever I put it wont change. I put back my custom ringtone, rebooted, then deleted all the custom ringtones again and yet I am unable to get my phone to ring.
I have tried setting a ringtone through playerpro music player as well but to no avail.
The notification sound comes as normal. I am running stock unrooted 4.0.4. What should I do?
Figured out the problem. There were some specific contacts that did not have a ringtone assigned to them and my own second phone was one of them from which I was doing the testing. I was using a profile scheduler app previously and in that I had put some of the contacts on the whitelist to allow them to call me even on silent mode. So it was the app which was controlling those contacts and even after uninstalling it the settings hadnt defaulted.

Audible player controls disappeared from status bar and lockscreen, other apps work f

As the title says, my audible player controls vanished.
I had my phone locked in my hand, when i noticed, that my screen was on and i was sort of dragging the lockscreen widget. I had no time to look for it, but 1 min after i realized, that my player controls were gone, and since then i never saw them again.
Additionally, they are gone from the status bar, too.
I tried every setting, i reinstalled audible, i even changed launcher, theme and switched to marshmallow. Still i dont have these controls back. Its enabled in the audible settings of course.
Someone has a clue, what could have happened here?
EDIT:
I noticed now that if you long press a widget on the lockscreen, you can "mute" it. I think, thats what happened.
How can i re-enable such a muted widget?
Not sure what happened, but i have my controls back after various reboots, app preferences clears, audible library deletions and audible re-installs.
I swear i did this multiple times the last weeks and only new i did was deleting all audible audiobooks before i reinstalled audible.
Confused but happy now.

[Workaround] Notifications interrupting media playback

I've been searching around the web and have not found an answer to this problem. Regardless of the phone being on silent, vibrate, or even do not disturb, text notifications still interrupt the music that is playing. It happens with Google Play Music, Pandora, and Spotify.
I downloaded a couple apps to manage media and notification volumes individually, but one didn't work at all, and the other simply muted the notification but the music still lowers for a second, as if the notification is still occuring.
Can anyone help me out? This is quite frustrating.
Please, and thank you for your time.
Update: I noticed this only occurs with a headset plugged in or connected via Bluetooth. When using the phone's speakers for music playback, notifications do not interrupt the music.
Workaround: I managed to find a slightly more bearable solution. Here is basically what I did.
1 - Download third party texting app for play store.
2 - Assign new text app as default.
3 - Go to Settings -> Apps, find stock messaging app, and disable all notification settings.
4 - Modify new text app notifications to vibrate only.
I don't know if some of these steps are excessive/unnecessary, but I'm tired of tinkering around so much, so I'm settling here. I hope this can help someone that finds themselves in the same situation. Again, I do not claim this to be the best solution; just slightly less bad.
