Forgive the book, but hopefully this helps some of you.
May 2018 I bought a samsung galaxy s8 and I set up all my notifications the way I wanted and at first was happy. Then there came an update, so I did the update. Then I realized that my "Messaging" notification sound was set as the regular system default sound instead of my favorite dewdrop, so I went into the Apps section, selected "Messages/Notifications/General Notifications & New Messages/Sound" and changed it to "dewdrops". For those of you that dont know, you can set the "Importance" for both "General Notifications & New Messages". Originally I had the importance set to "Urgent" for my messages.
...you need to stay with me here...
So after the update, when I would first get a message, the notification would be the default system sound instead of my "dewdrop" sound. After much poking around and looking for where I went wrong, I found a couple of interesting things as well as a bug.
Interesting thing: Like I said, instead of 'dewdrop' when I got a new message, I heard the system default but then after the initial notification, I would hear 'dewdrop' as a reminder that I had a message. Weird. One app giving two different notification sounds eh? Upon further poking, I realized that the initial / first notification is considered an "Urgent system alert" with a high priority, therefore it is using the "default notification sound" instead of the "messenger sound", sOOOoooo I went back into the Apps section, selected"Messages/Notifications/General Notifications & New Messages" and changed the "Importance" for both "General Notifications & New Messages" from "Urgent" to "High". Now when I get a new message, I hear my favorite "dewdrops" instead of the system default.
Bug: It appears that when I first got my phone, there was the ability to go into "Settings / Sounds and vibration / Notification sounds" and that you would see three options to set the "Default notification sound", the "Messages notification sound" and the "Calendar notifications" sound. Here is where I originally set all three of these to the system default. Today (after the update) the screen that shows the three settings is now gone and is replaced with one simply sound selection. I no longer have the ability to select individual sounds for "default" "messages" and "calendar". The example shown in this youtube video shows what it USED to look like at marker 00:26 which is now gone, and instead you go right to what is seen at marker 00:34.

Hey,
over the past few days my system messages disappeared. Actually I have no exotic software installed.
One week ago the standard system message showing the incoming call disappeared. so i just installed s2u2, since it is a better notification for incoming calls anyways. I configured it as i needed and it showed calls and sms with preview.
now the incoming sms system message also disappeared and also the xperia panel and s2u2 don't show new messages anymore. What is left is the little icon in the taskbar....
Is there any way to bring the notifications back, or should i rather hard-reset?

go to settings > sounds & notification
make sure for the desirable notification, you have set "display on screen" on
Sorry if this seems like a couple of daft questions but I can't seem to find them out myself.
1) Is there a way to make the notification sound different for a text and an email. Right now if I receive either I hear the same sound, with the number of emails I get a day I tend to ignore it which now results in my not seeing I have a text till a couple hours later.
2) Is there some way to see how many texts and calls I've made over a set period of time? All the phones I've had before would give totals for me which I could then reset but I can't find that in this phone. I've downloaded an app called Phonalyzr but it doesn't do what I'm really after.
on the first point, go to Messages, press Menu --> Settings --> Select ringtone
same for email
hmm i dont seem to be able to do that. When I change the notification sound in either the messaging app or the default phone settings it changes in both. I dont have the option to change it in mail (I use activesync btw).
Its very annoying to have the same sound for both.
The notification sound set in the main phone settings will be for anything on the phone that you haven't set a different one for.
If you then go to messages and in the first messages window with "compose message" at the top, press menu / settings /scroll down to notication setting and choose select sound - you can then choose a different sound for messages.
There's currently no option to choose a different sound for gmail or mail as far as I know.

but when i open my Gmail, Menu, Settings, i get the Choose Ringtone option....first is Default Ringtone, then others :/
You are right Suisen - Thanks - Meant the HTC Mail one, but of course you can change the gmail notify to a seperate one. I just not done it on my Hero.
With most progs, if the app itself allows you to select a sound it'll have its own, but if not, it plays the one you choose in main Phone settings.

Cheers for that, now I know when to actually look at my phone when it makes a sounds
I have done a bit of searching for this and I am having a difficult time finding a solution to my problem.
My problem is, I can't access individual notifications anymore.
I have the HTC Pure, (hence why I'm here), when I touch the top of my phone, the black bar on top with all the icons, to access the notifications section, I am able to see the new notifications, like alarm, message sent, and any other reminders. I can highlight each one, but it no longer pops up the chosen notification. I can't individually see whats new and delete them after, the only way to clear the notification region is to hit "Dismiss all"
I have the original rom that came with AT&T wm 6.5, there are only two programs that I have installed that I can think of that MAY affect the notification section of my phone.
The BKalltabs manila 2.1 wvga - which just lets you put up a picture for all the tabbed backgrounds, rather than just homescreen
The HTC hotfix for text sms - for the pure phone rather than the tilt 2 which was mentioned in this forum
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580679&page=2
I feel that this hotfix which "stops" the message sent notification in reality just prevents my notifications from working correctly - I say this because the "message has been sent" still shows up in the notification area...just doesn't pop up anymore.
Sorry for the long message, thought I would try to make it as detailed as possible.
Thanks for any and all help

So I did the "upgrade" that TMO put out on their website for the HD2 and now I do not get the popup message window when a new text comes in. Before the upgrade it my phone was dormant and I had a new text message the display would come to life and a box would display at the bottom of the screen with a preview of the message (in addition to the normal audible notification). Now the display comes on and the audible notification occurs but there is not popup box anymore. Any thoughts?

Go to settings...sounds and notifications....notifications..go to text message and put a check in display message on screen
Thank you for the reply zelendel. My menus do not have that exact string. If I go to Settings I have a Sounds & Display option, which has the following options - Profiles, Volume, Ring and Notifications, Display and G-Sensor. The only place in these menus that I can alter the text message is teh sound that plays. I do not see a checkbox.

Ok sounds like those are the manila style settings. In the settings there may be a softkey marked all settings and that should take you to the WM settings. if not then disable sense and then goint settings and that should give you the WM settings as well.

Wrong "settings" area. When you're on the settings tab there, click "menu" in the bottom right, then "all settings", then "sounds and notifications" On the 2nd tab ("notifications"), pick "Message: New message" from the first drop-down, then you'll see the check box you need.
Thank you Phunk! That was what I was missing!!!

No prob...it was the same place zelendel was referring to, but HTC did nobody a favor when they created a 2nd distinct set of "settings" and kept the name the same
Yeah sorry I disabled the manila settings thing long ago and forgot about it.
Issue resolved.

I'm running android 5.0 on my nexus 7 and I got this weird sign of a circle with a line through it and I can't seem to remove it.
Anybody know what it is ?

Here you go...
(With Lollipop, Android finally has a proper " Do Not Disturb" mode, something OEMs have added to the platform themselves for years. Integrated into the volume controls are buttons to control incoming notifications. You*can pick between categories of "All," "Priority," and "None," for allowed notifications, and you*can set the device to revert back to "All" after a certain number of hours have passed.
"Priority Notifications" can mean several things depending on what you set as "priority" in the settings. It can be set to allow only notifications from contacts, only notifications from*starredcontacts, or notifications from anyone. There are also toggles to include "Events and reminders," "Calls," or "Messages" as priority notifications. There is also a schedule-able "Downtime" that will automatically turn on*priority mode at certain times and days of the week. Now when you want your phone to automatically shut up at night, you can finally set it to leave you alone*while still allowing really important messages through.
The current notification mode is displayed in the status bar. When the mode is set to "None," a "No" symbol (a circle with a line through it) shows up in the notification bar. If it's set to "Priority," the symbol changes to a star. "All" is considered normal and doesn't get an icon. No matter what the mode is, all notifications are always listed in the notification panel. These settings just control alert sounds, Heads Up notifications, and notification LED flashes)
