I've tried a few different apps and selected different sounds but they aren't playing. Any ideas why?
Because you're on vibrate?
Kidding of course. Try seeking out your own notification sounds online. Down load them as mp3 files, plug in your phone, then drop them in /media/audio/notifications ringtones would go into /media/audio/ringtones....this is o n your internel storage, btw. They should then be applied in the usual way.
Much better options are out there online vs market apps. Just google "notification tones"

I don't follow, I just want to use my built in notifications. For example i'm using trillian for an instant messenger and want to use my Facebook pop tone. I select it and all the other tones I tried as well, none of them play.
It's actually not playing any notifications, in my sound settings I have the volume i'm sliding up and down and still didn't make any sounds
Strange. Is the phone stock, rooted, etc?
Have you recently run an update?
And last, does it make any sound when you receive a call?

Hi everyone, I'm currently unlocked and running the latest CM9 by jokersax. I usually set my phone to silent overnight, but I need to find a way to have a certain number always ring, regardless of the silent setting. I've tried a few market apps like SemiSilent and Selective Silence but they don't work. I don't know if it's the phone or ICS causing them not to work. Does anyone know of a way I can accomplish this? Thanks!

I use Tasker, but it's got a hell of a learning curve. However, you can set it up so if a call comes through from a specific contact it will temporarily turn the ringer volume up, then turn it back down. If you're genuinely interested, I can help you out setting up a Tasker profile to do that. Otherwise, not sure what else does what you want.

Night ringer... its in the app store works great you can set up to 5 different contacts and it will also let those contacts texts to you come thru also if you want.
Please try Automateit
Try AutomateIt available on google play and customize it as per your requirement.
Select a silent ringtone as default then just edit the contact you want to ring loud with another ringtone, done.
Does any one use custom notifcations for their phone and notice that it cuts short? I have the "Cloud" sound from the Galaxy S 2 but I notice it doesn't play the sound completely. I also have the "Gamma" sound from sense and the phone doesn't completely play that either. When I play either of the sounds from the Sound Player app it plays completely but when I receive a new text it cuts the sound short.
i'm having this same issue
Has anyone else at least noticed this? This is very annoying :\
Same issue, my custom notification ringtone would cut off. I posted it on another thread. The only fix is using zedge for now which was recommended by another user.
***The zedge experiment didnt work. Notification ringtones started to cut off. :/
Ok now it's working again. Extremely confused!

Has anyone tried deleting the threads? Cause I noticed mine doing this too I have the Canadian version but I noticed it only does it for the people I text a lot but with other people it doesn't do this. Let me know if that helps? Maybe using a different launcher with a texting app would be better

Hey! I think you're on to something. I sent myself a text from my Google voice number and it played the full sound clip. I had my friend text me (I have 200 messages in that thread) and it cut the sound short when I got the text. I wonder what would cause that though...
Same problem here.
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?
I hope they fix that.

It was a decision by Google for ics.
That's why we have cm9.

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

I use audio control 3.00 in the play store but well worth it

Also a Free lite version

there's also ringer control. only difference is not able to adjust speakerphone
Hello.
I'm using a German version of the Galaxy S3 with stock 4.1.1 ROM.
I own it since few days, coming from iPhones and I'm still learning how to use it.
One very useful thing I've found is the blocking mode. I use it at night to stop notifications sound and to permit only my family calls to go through.
Whatsapp notifications, though, are still coming through and I'm forced to manually reduce the notifications volume to zero.
Is it a bug or am I missing something?
I've tried setting the blocking mode with both time range and "always", but no differences at all.
Thanks.
I was woken up this morning by whatsapp messages, so if anyone has an answer it'd be appreciated.
I am having the same problem.. i think the problem is with whatsapp itself it must be a bug as when u go to notification settings the "ringer" whats comes up as default tone not the notification tone.
hope this get resolved quick! i have emailed whatsapp but got standard email template... delete app ... reboot re install ..etc
No one has a solution?
I have the same problem but a month or two before it did worked. I guess that maybe an update of whatsapp has disabled this. It very annoying waking up because of that horrible whatsapp noise.
Update
Just installed JB 4.1.2 and the problem is still there.
So it seems to be a Whatsapp problem, and it's a very stupid management of the notifications.
The notifications should be managed by the system and if the system says "shut up" ALL notifications should comply.
For me this is a point in favor of iOS.
P.S.: not a fan boy of course. I own both devices and it's normal I compare them.
WhatsApp uses a different method to sounf notificiations, this is why it can sound notifications even playing music (other apps would mute/pause the music for the notification)
I guess someonr could patch WhatsApp, my smali knowledge isn't that good to do it myself.

I understand, but if Google implements a kind of "do not disturb" mode it should know that some apps can use music as notification sound and block that too...
Problem lies with whatsapp. I did mail them about it, no response :/ m forced to put my phone on silent always :/

[SOLUTION] Blocking Mode WhatsApp Sounds
First of all, I do know that this is a fairly old thread, HOWEVER, it is still the first result on google for "blocking mode whatsapp", so i figure this is where people look. So i hope you will forgive me.
I have found a solution to the very annoying problem which many people seem to suffer from.
I have found a way to include the whatsapp sounds under the android blocking mode.
You will need the LightFlow app, (which i believe is a must have app for the S3 anyways (OP said he uses a s3)).
after you got light flow:
1: In What's app:
- disable notification sounds for incoming messages(not in light flow, in whats app). set it to silent or disable at all
2: The go to light flow and:
- enable sound notifications for whats app
- set what ever notification sound you would like to have for whats app when blocking mode is NOT enabled
- under Sounds-->Volume control method-->tick "Android standard notification volume"
Now it you enable blocking mode, it also blocks what's app sounds and if blocking mode is disabled, everything is normal.
hope that helps....took me quite a while to figure it out.
edit: oh and i do not have any affiliation with the light flow app or their developers!!! i just used it for changing lights and came across the sound feature by chance!!!
its a shame. other blockers block it, why can't the native JB also do it?
furstrating. didn't want to install another software on the phone when the block mode works so well, except for whatsapp of course.
Does this exist with 4.2.2 as well?

Yeah, I've got a Nexus 4 on 4.2.2 and the issue is on that as well. It's a problem with the way whatsapp handles notifications, not the Android firmware version.
Thanks Tyler D for the solution, will be testing this later today.
I am experiencing the very same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S4 running 4.2.2.
Do you have any news? I tried to email whatsapp support a few days ago but I am still waiting their reply.

Hello, after a full day of googling, messing my device up, and headaches - here I am.
Before I go any further it would probably help to explain my device configuration. I have a galaxy player, which has no mobile data or cellular capabilities (essentially a phoneless galaxy S), running unnoficial cm9 ICS. Because cm9 hasn't been optimized for media players, I still have the phone features such as the dialer built-in.
My goal is to get google voice working with the sip feature on the cm9 dialer. Through the help of pbxes.org and trial and error, I have mostly succeeded. The one minuscule yet painfully crippling issue I have is the ringtone doesn't play when I receive a call, even though it vibrates and shows the call screen normally. Now before you ask the painfully obvious; YES I tried setting a new ringtone, NO my device isn't in silent mode, and YES my volume is turned up.
I haven't tried a data reset yet, but that is last resort as I have no way to nandroid. I was wondering if this is a bug with cm9 or ICS in general, or a device specific issue I have. I would be so thankful if anyone that has experienced this and possibly found the solution could share it! Thank You.

You know I do use a third party app but to have this ability would be kind if awesome. Right now I use groove ip but have the dialer would be cool. Have you tried with another dialer or do you not want it?

I have looked at other dialers but none of them have the sip capabilities. I also tried some sip clients like sipdroid - which rang fine, although interestingly simplecsp fails to ring just like the stock dialer. I am thinking it is a bug with our cm9 since system ui sounds also seem to not play.

There is no settings with in settings that allows you to put the ringtone so you might have to do it the way I did it. The way was is you have to download zedge and find the ringtone you want and then download it and then it hit set as and it will ask you what you want to set it as and set it as your ringtone and it'll work

Hmm, I have no problem setting ringtone.
I have made several important discoveries;
The reason the system UI sounds don't work is because the system volume is set to 0 and can't be adjusted in the system settings, but I used AudioManager to turn it up. Now system UI sounds work fine but still no ringtone.
Another discovery is when I set poweramp to not pause for incoming calls, I hear the ringtone! It plays over poweramp, but this is a huge clue to my problem.
