Since I've installed the latest RCs and recently the final, I haven't been able to use a custom ringtone for calls. Strangely enough, I can select it and have it set. Notification ringtones work too, but when I recieve calls it always rings with a generic default ring. I've tried several different programs: Handcent, Ringo Pro, System, etc and none of them will get it to work. I downloaded Zedge but I can't find the ringtone with it. I also read somewhere that deleting a file called .nomedia will also fix it, but I can't find that either. Any ideas?
So noone else knows then? It seems like I'm not the only one with this problem.
I got a similar problem, but mines just vibrate with no sound. And it only does it for the phone calls. Everything else works fine. Haven't had any help yet!

Hi all,
it's a few days that my new htc hd2 doesn't vibrate and doesn't ring when a sms arrives. It's seems to be occasionally and not always.
I've noticed that seems to be bound to data connection. When data connection is active, I have no vibration/ring.
I'm not sure... I can think it's maybe a problem due to Photo Contacts Pro.
I've installed the last version, 5.50
Someone can help me?
Thank you!
No one can help me?
I'm having problems after installation of 5.5 also. In the previous version of Photocontact Pro I had it setup to play the Sportscenter theme whenever I got a notification from ESPN. Never, ever was there a problem. All my sms tones don't work anymore on this new version. Now it just plays the windows mobile default sms tone. I would revert back but I like the slide to answer. I'm using a Treo 800w. Hopefully somebody can help us get a fix for this.
I dont have that software installed but I have the same problem, sms tone intermittently working/not working. I think its a bug, I've seen others complain about the same issue.
Bagheero,
Quickest way to get an answer to your problem would be to deinstall the software you think is the culprit. If you get SMS sound and notification back then you know you will need to do some tweaking in the settings of that software when you reinstall.
If it's not the problem then install BSB Tweaks (can be found on here) and use the relevant settings to turn on notifications.
Use this to find it...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all.
Let us know how you get on.

although I defined all alert sounds (sms, email. missed calls etc.) to give an alert still when I receive any of the above the phone is silent. need to mention that I chose a different alert than the default (different sound)
any ideas?

Hello!
I have had the same problem after I updated to the next available rom provided by HTC.
I have tried several things and experimented with the different sound formats.
I noticed that I still got a sound alert in standby mode for my mail account and wondered why I didn't get the same for my sms.
Like you I customized my sounds with soundfiles from the internet (like effects and stuff that I copied directly to the \windows\rings directory .) And I noticed a big difference between the sound I used for sms (WAV) and the sound I used for mail (mp3).
So just for the fun of it I tried converting my WAV file to Mp3 because I couldn't find the same sound file in that format.
And what do you know... problem solved...
I yet again recieve sound notification in standby mode for sms.
I don't know if this is something that occures due to the upgraded rom but it works for me.
Maybe it's an idea you'd like to try. I was very frustrated by this problem and spent an entire evening on trying to fix it. So I have invested a lot of time.
Maybe it helps you to.
Goodluck,
Joey
solved by upgrading rom
the opposite happened to me when i upgraded the rom and now the defualt sounds are playing for everything.
so what I do is just leave the default sound and won't choose other sounds since i dont know if itll remain ok or itll go mute again and I don't fell like hard reseting again...
thanks anyway for your help - I'll remember your offer if ill need it
and by the way, mp3 ringtones that i added are working fine..
check out the new update on HTC's site it is specifically for this problem!
Hi everybody, i have a very big problem
I bought a HTC Touch 2. Very cool phone, works fine, looks great BUT... when i want to change the SMS or MMS ringtone to my own, it doesn't work... no sound, no vibration...
I try it: send an SMS from an other mobile, and it doesnt work. I get my sms, but the phone dont alert me (no music, no vibr.) another problem is: i choose the: sound and vibr options, BUT when i save this and go back the menu, the phone change automatically to ONLY VIBR... but it doesnt work too... (U know: settings, sound, and the bottom (alert sound, not the special) and new message -> vibr on-off. its only appear when i set an own ringtone)
If i choose a basic ringtoone, its fine, dont change automatically to only vibr, i can change it to every option, BUT it doesnt alert me too...
summa summarum: SMS-MMS-Email alerts doesn't work on my mobile. No music, No vibr.
HARD RESET done: doesn't help
I hope somebody can help me.
Love 'n' Peace
(And sorry my very bad english )
Pls help me, im afraid that my mobile is faulty
everthing is okay, only the ringtone is bad.
Incoming call works fine with my own ringtone.
Nobody?
have you tried different mp3's?
I tried everything, its doesnt work. No sound, no vibration...
only incoming call is okay
sorry, I was wrong, I didn't read correctly.
I think SMS sound only works with .WAV files.
have you tried this?

Well i dont know what the basic sound format, but i think they are wav. And the other problem is, my phone dont vibration, and is set on. (Its only SMS)
So i don't know when i received an SMS, only the Green LED lights on the top
I haven't heard of this prob before.
have you logged a call with HTC?
No, i think there isn't Hungarian HTC corporations., so i think i go back to my service and i hope they solve my problem..
but thanks a lot.
My rooted nook color doesn't play any notification sounds. I only used manual nooter on my 1.2 nook, updated all the apps and installed a bunch too. I can't figure it out. I used root explorer to check out OnTheHunt.ogg and it plays fine. Games play sounds fine. Settings show notification volume on max. My volume is on max. It is not muted.
Example - Gmail won't play notification sounds. Settings in there are ON. My test with Gmail Notifier produced same results. Tried changing the ringtone too. Any thoughts?
I'm having the same issue, and tried a ton of different apps with no success. Also scoured the web for a solution but haven't even stumbled across anyone else with this prob until now.
Audio Won't sound!
I too have the sae problem:-
My XDA Atom wont play ANY sounds! But the settings show that the volume is maximum. However, when I turn on the radio sound plays on all the applications except the calls. Any solutions?
same problem, no answers...
Have the exact same problem. Spent days searching the internet and no answer. No one seems to have this problem either.
Re-flashed original Nook 1.3 firmware, de-registered device and cleared all data, registered device, updated to 1.4.2, and rooted Nook. Should be a complete clean install, but notifications don't work in Talk or GMail. In the settings in "Notification settings" the "Select ringtone" is grayed out. I can select a ringtone anyway, but still doesn't work. Everything else works perfectly, Google Play... software installs, etc.
All I want is to send messages to my wife's nook and chime when a new message comes in. That's the whole reason I rooted this Nook.
If someone might check if they receive audible alerts with new "gmail" / "talk" messages that would be helpful.
Thanks!
