Just recently my M500 seems to forget to let me know that Ive got a txt message, it seems to be losing the seetings for some notifcations. Txt messages and the alarm sound seem to be only ones affected. I can put the settings back and they work for a little while but then disappear.
Its only been doing it recently and I dont think its a result of installing anything. Any ideas? Its really annoying me.
Just shifted to Android 4.3 on a Nexus 4 after years of using Symbian. Learning loads of stuff and loving most of it.
However there is one thing that I sorely miss:- The ability to control sound and vibration notifications through "Profiles". I installed a nifty little app called 'Settings Extended' with which I can control these notifications quite easily.
The problem is that these settings seem to apply only to Calls and not Text messages.
First off, I have kept the vibration notification 'unchecked' in the stock messaging app because I don't want it to vibrate everytime I receive a text.
Next I change the Sound Settings to enable both sound and vibration notification. Here I expect the phone to Ring+Vibrate for both Calls and Text messages..just like in Nokia phones. Sadly this does not happen apparently because vibration is OFF in the stock messaging app.
So now I'm in a fix. If I enable vibration in the messaging app, the phone will vibrate for new texts even when I don't want it to and on disabling it I run the risk of missing the notification sound or blinking LEDs for that matter.
I have tried 3rd party apps like GoSMS and Handcent where they have an additional feature to enable vibration notification for text messages only when "Phone is set to Vibrate". The problem here is that the phone should be in "Vibration mode" i.e only vibration is enabled and sound is disabled for the app to give a vibration notification on new messages. When both sound and vibration are enabled under Sound settings, no vibration notification is produced.
This is really bugging me. Seems unnecessary complication of simple tasks to me. I have searched the net for a solution and although have found few people having the same problem, I haven't come across a solution yet. So now I turn to XDA because I know that if a solution exists, it can only be found here.
Thnaks to anyone who had the patience to go through this post!
Anyone else getting the whistling notification sound (the default sound) coming from the phone, but no actual notifications on it?
It keeps whistling at me for no reason.
Yesterday evening it was doing it like clockwork every 15mins, but sometimes after 10mins. By night time it was sometimes every 5mins, driving me mental!
I disabled Gmail, Email, disabled most of the funky control functions (like "Air xxxx" and "xxx motion") and it still does it.

I've had some phantom notifications too, but only the odd one. I was thinking it was something to do with my pebble but maybe it wasn't after all.

I have the same issue and its really irritating... Sound notification without any trace of what program is notifying. I have tried with apps that log the notifications , but it does not even show up there. My workaround, put standard notification to "quiet" and set specific other notification sounds for the apps you do want notification from. Could be done in the apps, or in for example light flow app.
Not had this problem yet, been using mine for about 2 days now, the only other apps that I have that would give me notifications is whatsapp and Facebook, maybe something you've installed?
£620 machine needs to work without workarounds.
Looks like I need to reset and install apps gradually.
Check Settings under "accessibility"
there is an option for:
Reminder of Notifications all 5, 10, 15 minutes
turning off
The new gmail does this, since it has tabs for social promotions and forums and.primary and whatnot,it will only generate a notification for the primary inbox but the other inboxes still make a.sound even without the notification. This might be what your experiencing, I get this.on.my HTC one
Possibly even a.combination.of this and the.notification reminder setting

This option is not available on Moto X (VZW). I'm seriously sick of these notifications.
chime sound with no notification.

Hello everyone,
I have a very odd problem with my phone: sometimes the notification sounds don't play when I get messages
This happens only on Whatsapp, SMS (stock app), Hangouts, etc... but when I get calls it works normally - also I can't reproduce the problem on my own so I can't figure out what triggers it.
Both the notification and ringer volumes are attached so there is no way I can reduce only one
I'm running stock 4.4.2 android
Thanks in advance
When an alert, such as a text message, facebook message, or calendar alarm triggers on my Nexus 4 (5.0.1 lollipop, all stock no root), no sound is generated. The LED blinks and the phone vibrates (which is nice) but the audible alert is missing. The ringtone thankfully works, as well as my alarm clock and pandora, so I know that the speakers are operational. I checked every setting I can locate in reference to notifications, including volume settings, notification tones, app notification settings, and so on. Priority and Silent are NOT selected, volume is basically at max, and I have custom tones set up for mostly every app that will allow me to select one. No apps have notifications suppressed. The tones work when I select them in the menu, and the problem does not seem to care what specific tone is used.
The phone was factory reset Saturday (2 days ago) when I switched to it from my last device. Any insight as to what I should check next?
update: i rebooted into safe mode and was successfully able to get notifications when i sent myself a text from another number and an email. google rep recommended i remove apps one by one until notifications work again, since it was seemingly a problem with one of the third party apps. but of course, after i boot the phone into regular mode, it works fine will monitor and update thread if i lose notifications again.
tl;dr reboot your phone before you make a post lol
