Is anyone else having an issue in which notification sounds stop working after about an hour after the Xoom was booted?
I have rebooted it several times and keep having the same issue. After about an hour, the notification sounds no longer play, but the notification light will still blink. The clock alarm notification sounds still work at all times though.
I have tried changing the notification sounds on the apps but it has no effect. When it happens, all app notification sounds stop working. The only unaffected app is the Alarm Clock sound.
Reason (Bug found):
Ok, so after a lot of testing. I found what causes this bug.
I have 2 gmail accounts that I use for mail. So I set up 2 GMail Widgets on the home screen. One for each account, obviously. The problem happens after both accounts have received mail and the mail is accessed through clicking on the mails in the widgets to bring up the full gmail client. It doesn't matter if the accounts have both received mail at the same time or hours apart.
I did find that as long as you never open gmail through the widgets, the notification sounds keep working. I sent myself mails about once an hour to both accounts for over 8 hours using gmail on a PC. During this time, I simply listened for the notification sound after each email was sent. Every one worked perfectly, until after I opened the a mail item in each of the gmail accounts on the Xoom using the widgets. Then, I no longer received the notification sounds.
Now during all the times of testing, the notification light always works. Regardless of the notification sound. Also, sound within applications were never affected. However, when the notification sounds stopped going off due to this gmail widget bug, none of my applications notification sounds worked anymore.
After the notification sound bug kicks in, the only way to remedy it is to shut down the tablet and reboot.
Reason found and put into post above.
I have the opposite happening to me. My light won't blink on Gmail notifications but the sound works just fine. I've done multiple reboots too. Good find on what may be causing the bug though.

I am currently experiencing this issue but I dont have two gmail account widgets and after a reboot I still do not get any sound notifications.
I do have a gmail and an email widget. Perhaps I will remove both and reboot.
I am running Team EOS 3 (latest nightly)
Thanks
Any one having this issue once their hangouts app gets upgraded. I get the sms but i have to open hangouts to see it. I also disabled my lightflow notifications for hangouts to see if that was the issue but still no change.
Recently flashed CM11 m3 and having a strange issue. It seems like unread emails (gmail app) are setting off a notification sound every 30 seconds or so. I'm not talking about new emails setting off notification sounds, its existing unread emails. If i swipe off the notification from the tray, they stop, until I get a new email, than continues with the excessive notification sounds again. I looked in the gmail app for a setting for this, but cant find it. I see an option to notify for each new email, but not continued notifications for email. Any ideas?
I've noticed recently that my Previews on Pop-ups is only working for text messages, it has stopped working for Whatsapp, BBM and Gmail, the Previews on Pop-ups is set to on for all the apps but still not working, anyone else with this issue?
Looking for option, how to turn off notification sound and vibrations while using my phone.
Especially while using exactly the same app as the notification.
- happens with:
- Facebook Messanger
- QKSMS
- Facebook Pages Manager
- Instagram DM's
Anyone?
Thanks
