This is a problem that plagues every WM6 ROM so far. For instance, receiving new emails *always* defaults to 'flash LED for 5 minutes' after a soft reset.
Even modifying the registry works for a while, but something changes it back again.
Could someone please figure this out?

I did a quick test on my Prophet.
No matter how I change the setting in Sounds and Notifications, it will still "remember" the modified value on my machine after soft-reset.
No problem on my device.
same here no sounds problem
The same with me! no sound problems
floepie,
Do not use stylus for softreset.
Try to do softreset with any programms for reboot. psShutXp do it correct.

I always reset holding the power button and never with the stylus hole.
If I set 'receive new email' to a sound, the setting will stick for some time even after a reset, but after a day or 2 or even 3, the setting will always return to 'flash light for 5 minutes'. Try it with the 'receive email notification' yourself!

The setting does stay put even after a reset. However, after a day or even a few, the setting will always return to 'flash light for 5 minutes'.

sounds bad...
just check my machine again, it still keeps my yesterday change, and i will keep my eye on it.
BTW, have you tried the latest PDAViet ROM? Probably it has solved this issue already.
it's not an issue,you are doing something wrong
I have the same Problem... After a few days there is no notification for new SMS. Then I can change the options withaut any effect. Only solution is a Hardreset.

The same problem here using wm 6.1. Reminder and Text Message notification settings get lost after a while. Any idea?
Using some programs (eg, the latest Opera 9.5 betas) may disable notifications.

and enable the notification for sms delivery.
Hello all,
a version of opera doesn't disable notifications?
Thank you.

Only Operas betas (as in, the ones direct from Opera.com/mobile) disable sound, and it may be only on some devices.
You should be able to use the Opera builds extracted from Diamond/Raphael ROMs with no issues.

I indeed use Opera 9.5 Beta. Will it just be fine to uninstall Opera 9.5 or do I have to manually correct some settings?
Thanks in advance.
By the way: How did you figure that out?

I think the latest build of the beta may have fixed it...
I worked it out as when I installed Opera it broke the sounds, and then, looking at Operas site I noticed there were some bug reports involving sound issues...
Uninstall, and then reset the sounds/notifications to how you want, and it should work.

Out of curiousity l3v5y, why do you not like java? use too much ram? or you just prefer to have a clean device?
I am looking for a simple app to automatically schedule my phone to be silent (no notification, no vibration) except for phone calls during the night, with different schedules for weekdays and weekends.
What is my best option?
Thanks
See if there's a version of "Sound Schedule" for Froyo. On 2.1, it does pretty much what you ask for $3.
Actually I just installed and set up timeriffic. Seems to do all I need, I'll test in the next few days. And it's free.
Yep ^^ i was going to suggest timmerific! Locale is another good alternative
I use the free version of Audioguru. Timeriffic's user interface was too confusing for me.
I was going to suggest Tasker. It can do that and a whole ton more.
I also vote for Tasker
I'm going to check out timmerific myself. I'm a Tasker lover, but my wife has zero use for Tasker but her freaking SMS and Email notifications drive me nuts all night, especially when she puts the the phone on the headboard.. blleep bleep bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
In case anyone else has trouble finding it (from the spelling ) here's the appbrain link:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/timeriffic/com.alfray.timeriffic
I have my custom battery profile to turn off data after 15-30 mins and that does the trick at night without having any apps. Might want to look into that.
I use an app called Profile. I have a weekly schedule to adjust volume, bluetooth, wifi, notifications, etc based on time. Has worked flawlessly for almost a year, with plenty of updates & added features.

won't let me post a link, because I haven't posted enough. Sorry.

Another vote for Tasker. Although I'm not sure I'd call it "simple".

Thanks to everyone for the vote of confidence re: Timeriffic.
We love hearing your feedback. For the poster who thought it was a bit confusing, as we look to make it better your thoughts are encouraged. We realize it can always be better, though in most cases it runs silently with no need for an interface other than occasional adjustment to a profile. Looking forward to hearing from everyone.
And thank you for using and sharing our little app.
As I said in another thread, I get a lot of use out of "Good Night!". You can set it to receive phone calls only and even narrow it down to who can call in. Set it to happen during certain hours and certain days of the week.
Phone Schedule
I wasn't satisfied with available apps, so i decided to write my own app that would do all the volume/wifi switching and other stuff automatically according to my own schedule. Several weeks ago i uploaded "Phone Schedule" to google play. It's free and free of ads as well.
Another Scenario
OK, I would love to find a way to turn off all notifications, with the exception of one app. My wife has a weather app installed and wants to use the weather alerts for that app at night but we don't want any other notifications coming across. Is there an easy way, or app, that will do that? I've not been very successful at figuring this stuff out in Tasker. Tasker looks extremely useful but the couple of minutes I get per day to look at it, I just can't get what I want to work.
Thanks
+1 for Tasker
I have mine set on silent at night, but I've also got a list of "VIP" numbers set up that it will allow through.
That's fine, but I'm not talking about cell numbers. That's a different ballgame all together, IMHO.

I think you may be confused. I was replying to OP question.
Just saw this on Gizmodo, it's called Profile Valet. Basically you can set up your system to change based on location or time. Need your ringer off at work, set the time for vibrate only. Want your wifi to come on automatically when you get home, set it for that location. It does more (Dispaly, Sound, Wifi, and Bluetooth. Location, Time or manual. Check it out here...http://gizmodo.com/5728106/app-of-the-day-profile-valet-for-android . I just installed it and will report back. Oh and it's free.
this was one of the main features on the g1, now having a mental block on the name of the app way back then.
It was locale it use to be free also but now they charge 9.99

Doesn't Tasker do the same thing only better? It's a little more complex, but once you figure it out it can do some crazy stuff. I personally don't use any of those features much anymore. Never really seemed to help me 100% of the time. I do miss the old G1 free Android Market launch titles. It was so fun to watch the platform grow.
I haven't used any other app like this nor do I really have a need but I have seen some on here asking for something like this. I tried it out and the UI is real simple and straightforward, couple of clicks and you have different profiles set up and hey it's free which is always good. Strike that! Almost always good.

Yeah tasker does the same there's even a tread on here to share your tasker set up but thats a paid app also . I miss my g1 also got it when it first launched my things change
the interval on the gps check for location profiles seems to be very long. i left a given location to have my wifi on and it stayed on about a hour and a half after i left that place. maybe i have to set something up to turn off wifi once i leave the place?
Hey,
So I've heard some pretty good things for Tasker. I like the options available, and the configuration seems very detailed and customizable. I've searched on these forums, but some people say that it caused their phone to freeze, and they had to re-flash their system. I'm not sure if it was because they added some stupid setting, or if Tasker genuinely messed up. Does anyone have any input they can add?
i love tasker. been using it for about a year now. i have set up several different tasks and automations....excellent app
I have no issues with Tasker, though I'm barely scraping its potential. Basically using it with Minimalistic Text to give me weather, missed calls and missed SMS notifications.
used it on my captivate for a year and now my S2 for the past 9 days. been very solid. i do some cool stuff. for example:
1. plug in phone between the hours of 10pm and 7am do the following:
phone says: silent mode on
then it does the following:
silent mode on
system, media, incoming call, notification volume all go to 0
when i unplug or go outside of the time window it says silent mode off and reverts back to my original volumes.
2. location based sound settings
when i leave my house it turns wifi off and all sounds up. when i get to work it turns wifi on and all my volumes to half so i dont blast people while in a meeting.
3. paging
at work we use sms as a pager. when u send something to ur att txt email address it comes through as 410 something something. so whenever i see a 410 number, it turns all volumes up, plays and repeats a sound 3 times, then puts the phone back in the state it was. i.e. if at night silent (see item 1) and if during the day whatever location based profile i was in.
basically, tasker is bad ass. it has a big learning curve. i am a programmer so conditional based logic comes more natural.
Very stable here.First time using it, there is definitely a learning curve but out it's quite logical and obviously powerful.
Used it on my Captivate and now on the SGSII, absolutely no problems. I just use it for turning on my Wifi when I'm at home, turning auto-rotate on when I turn on my browser and turning GPS on when I open up maps.
Tasker has been stable on every device I've used it on, including this one. It just may be my best paid app. Expensive (in comparison to other apps) and complex with a learning curve, but the immense functionality and potential make it worth it.
logic ?

Bla Bla, if it all came so natural you should set the phone to silence mode instead of setting all volumes to 0, its more logical.
I have Tasker... but I'm still trying to figure it all out. I'm new to android and to Tasker... I would LOVE to find a tutorial or a list of really useful "tasks" and how to set them up.

If set wrong it will murder your battery ESP. Location services fyi. Other than that it's the ultimate customization tool.

I been using it for about a month now. Love it. No problems what so ever. If u need to turn GPS on or off u need to download "secure settings" from the market and integrate it into ur tasks. This app is bad ass. Worth ever penny IMO.

Before the ota I used volume ace for managing my profiles. I'm on call.moat nights and I am able to just have it ring, and everything else is silenced. I have tried quick profiles, toggle profiles, profiles etc. Everyone I am having the same issue. I set a profile and after an incoming call.comes in, the profile goes back to something else and all my notifications are audible again. Frustrating at 3 am when I get an email from sams club and it wakes me up, thinking its a call for work.
So my question, does anyone know of a profile app that I can set specific profiles to have certain things ring and others vibrate or be silent? It was possible with volume ace and gingerbread.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, in ICS, Ringer and Notifications are linked together.
They are unlinked on CyanogenMod9, but not on any Sense ROMs.
The easiest workaround is to set the notification sound to be a silent mp3 file.

Okay, that is completely idiotic. Is that actually in ICS or is it something HTC did?

You could set the mail app when to check for mail overnight. Change the off peak times to when you would be sleeping, and have it set to manual to check for messages. During the day from 7 am to 7 pm are my peak times and it's set for push. Off peak is set to manual. I have no need to auto receive emails at night. If I think I'm going to get one I need, you can check manually. This won't work if you use the native gmail app, but you can add your gmail through the HTC mail app.
Just a side note, I use handcent for texting and I've discovered (never knew it before) that you can set individual tones for specific people when they text you. That was one thing I missed from my blackberry. Not anymore
