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 a problem with my sms receiving tone. Even if i chose tone when a SMS arrives, it doesn't make the tone, it only vibrates. what shall i do?
I know this is a stupid question, and I feel stupid for actually asking but
When you go into Settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification Sounds -> New message
You don't have it at the top Vibrate "Only" at the top have you ?
I said it was a stupid question.
no i have it in normal mode and i have also choose a tone for the sms but again doesn't make the tone sound. when somebody calls me the ringtone is working but no sms tone
I have the same problem, but my Leo don't even vibrate when i have a new sms....

Did you change your manila language using bsb tweaks or chnging registry values? It's know issue and only known (to me) solution, is set the language to its original ROM language.
I have the same problem, mine does not even vibrates it started when i added a new ringtone to \windows\rings" tried to set it as new text message tone but could not find it on the list, put it back to its original tone and the problem started no sound for the new sms
i did not changed any thing related to language or any tweaks my phone rom is what came with it from factory added only the official hot fixes
plz help
I have the same problem, only I dont use any mods.
Problem Solved, xZdenis
I had changed the language on the registry, and now I put the old value on it and it sounds now...
I guess that I will wait until a Rom Update will be avaiable on French to change the language and do not have problems.
Thanks a lot for your help
Someone should seriously sum up all the issues which can/will occur when changing the language in Manila (HKEY\CU\MUI\CurrLang). Sucks.
Most likely, there will be a reference to 1033 somewhere that has to do with the SMS not being played, 1033 is the original language and when changed, the system wont find that specific key which has the languagecode which is entered under the above regkey.
[Edit]
Wasnt 1033, but maybe this one: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Settings\Ringtone\0409. Maybe create another key with your languagecode (in hex) and copy everything from 0409 to ex 041d (swedish). I havent tested because Im too fed up wiht all the issues that derive from changing the language in manila, but maybe someone could try it?
Have no idea on what "CHome" is, but it was the only reference to 0409 (except for the same key found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Settings\Ringtone\0409) i could find... so its just a thought.
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
Hello guys!
Last night, I set a custom ringtone for a contact via 'People'. I noticed that the effect it has - Calls and Whatsapp notifications from this contact now uses the same custom ringtone which I set yesterday. When I tried to set it back to 'Default', I noticed that there's no 'Default' option in the list of ringtones available. The ringtone which was default can be selected but that would results in Whatsapp ringtone to use that one too instead of its own default ringtone, which is a different one.
Appreciate it very much if someone know how to actually reset contact ringtone back to default? Its driving me nuts!
Thank you.
In settings--->sound--->phone ringtones set it to sense simple
Sent from my HTC Butterfly using xda premium
sometimes ringtone sounds does not show up....... rings like in silent mode...... I am using CM 13 Nightly..... Any solution guys ??
same
Same problem with me also, smbody plz any solutions
Hey.
Go to settings==>system profiles==>
Check if it is selected as silent or default. Check it to default.
Even in default there is silent ring mode. To change it, go to its settings and scroll down to system settings where you can find the ring mode.
I too had the same problem. Couldn't solve it and the store where i bought the phone said i had to replace the phone's ringer. I accidentally solved it myself the same day.
Hope this helped.
