No notification sound - Desire CM7.1 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having a small problem with notifications on CM7.1.
Ever since the upgrade to 7.1 I've noticed that I do not get any notification sounds on any of the "Google" apps. These include Talk, Gmail and SMS. Whatsapp does have sound.
I had a look at the following thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300333, but that problem seemed to have sorted itself out.
I have also tried the "sdcard/notifications" solution given on another thread, but still no luck.
Does anyone have an idea what can be wrong and how I can go about fixing it.
Any help will be appreciated.

[Q] Contacts app FC on 351 and 354

hi all I am posting this as an "official" question in this section because it's a known issue and it's not been resolved. this issue was briefly (and by that I mean "very few replies") discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055407
I am wondering if anyone has come up with a solution or some more hints.
to sum things up:
- in a threaded sms conversation, upon sending AND receiving a message the small contact pictures (both yours and your interlocutors') flash one time (like if they were reloading: you can briefly see the grey android default "no picture" icon meanwhile). this didnt happen on elder builds, and when it happens the phone lags.
- it can happen from time to time that after this strange reloading the pictures won't load anymore and immediately after this, the app will loose sync with contact names too: you'll end with phone numbers anymore like if you had an empty phonebook.
I have found the culprit to be not the messaging app but the contacts app. when this happen, i "just" need to go back to home and tap the contacts app. sometimes it just displays a black screen, sometimes i get a FC message about com.android.process.acore. after pressing the FC button the app will restart and both contacts and messaging will return working normally (although still with the weird reloading thingy).
as far as things go it seems that
- hard resetting / wiping data does not help
- removing and re-adding the google account sync does not help
- it happens on 354 too
- not all users (very few, it seems) are affected by this
- there is no weird backup & restore voodoo procedure implied in the affected streaks
the small amount of users affected by this issue leads me to think we are, in some way, doing something wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated really. thanks in advance folks.

I've the same prob. i was thinking it maybe from my rom (simple streak 1.2) but looks like its not.
yeah it seems to be an issue related to android 2.2.2 (I didn't have this problem on stock 318 rom). I have done some more tries yesterday but I didn't come up with a solution. I even tried to desync google account, remove all contacts etc, and create a new test contact with random picture, well as soon as I insert the picture the problem reappears.
I forgot to mention it in the op but go sms pro seems unaffected.
Contacts app in StreakDroid 1.9.1 does this as well.
I'm going to try and roll back contacts.apk, contactsprovider.apk and mms.apk from stock 318. I have checked the filesizes and they actually are slightly different.
well tbh I am 99.9% confident I will end up having to reflash my phone but oh well..
i'll report back!
EDIT: so here's the news. replacing apps didnt work. ROM 360 is still affected by the issue.
back to the drawing board...

[Q] Notifications during call in CM7

First, let me say I did search for this issue and couldn't find an answer. I saw that one user had asked the same question in the original CM7 nightly thread (not the twice weekly), but never received an answer. Sorry if it's been answered elsewhere.
I'm running the latest CM7 nightly from Sam3000, although this isn't a new issue. While on a call, SMS notifications play through the rear speaker, causing the person on the other end of the call to hear it as well, interrupting them. I've dug around all the settings on the phone itself and can't find a fix.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there any sort of flashable mod to change this? I'm using the stock messaging app, as I actually prefer it to GoSMS and the like, but if using a 3rd party app is my only hope then so be it.
Thoughts?

[Q] Google Voice/Samsung Assistant not working on Omega v32

Here goes. I have the 4.1.1 Omega v32-XXDLJ5 ROM with Siyahkernel v1.7rc2 on my I9300.
Now the problem is, the ROM was working perfectly without any hitches, but today when I tried using Google Voice app, the voice failed to take my input and kept asking me to tap the microphone icon onscreen. I can see that it is registering the voice (with the visual representation surrounding the microphone icon), but there is no feedback. Upon checking further I found that the same issue is with Samsung's Assistant as well. It is not providing any feedback.
Unfortunately that's not the end. I also found that the dictation in messaging etc. of Google voice isn't working either. So, basically, they all are listening to my voice but not providing any reply/feedback.
Same issue had happened to me before 10 days. At that time I had felt that I might have tweaked with some setting somewhere which resulted in this issue (did a nandroid restore to resolve it). But this time around, i haven't done anything which would have caused this issue.
Can anyone help me to find the cause of this issue, and if anyone knows what/where the fault is, your help in resolving this issue will be appreciated.
I know I can reflash the rom/restore the nandroid backup, but it also means having to re-install everything/some from scratch, which is a pain. And also, those don't identify the source of the problem. And this being the 2nd time, it might very well be repeated a 3rd or more number of times.
Did you try fix permissions in CWM.
I have the CWM 3.60, but i get a notice that this ver of CWM should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer, so, various options have been diabled. Maybe that's why I don't have the fix permissions option. Any idea about this?
NB: Found the option in CMR and it fixed the issue right up. Thnx a lot buddy

[Q] CyanogenMod 9 (Arco's BETA) GT-i9001 - Gtalk Voice call issue [Logcat attached]

Hi all,
Already posted this in the general forum section, but I guess this is the more appropriate one.
I loaded Arco's CM9 port on my GT-i9001 a couple of days ago. Everything works great, except for voice chat apps.
When I voice call someone in gtalk, I can't hear anything and the other party can't hear me. Even though I end the call, it seems to get stuck and sound won't work at all on the phone until I reboot.
Attached is the logcat for when I make a voice call in gtalk.
When I loaded Arcos CM9 port, i also loaded the gapps from the link specified on his thread.
Also, a similar issue occurs with skype, when I call someone, we can hear each other for a second or two, then it also dies.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks.

[Q] How to Silence Notifications While Listening to Music?

HI all,
Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, I did search this particular forum and found another similar thread, but didn't want to revive a dead, old thread. Instead I wanted to be more detailed.
I just got the Z2 and love it, but while listening to music I am still getting notification sounds from Hangouts, GMail etc. The handset is in silent mode and the default notification is set to "None" and yet the sounds still play, they don't play when I am unplugged as normal, only when listening to music.
I am running the latest .313 release. If anyone can help that'd be great, if this is a bug and Sony haven't fixed it I will send them an email. At this point I would happy with an Xposed module at the least as this is frankly a really annoying bug that makes no sense at all.

there is notification setting inside gmail and hangout and lots of other apps
so u need to change that setting ...
:good:
So, I have done that for now and it seems to have stopped it, but this is stupid behavior on Sony's part. I just came from a Nexus 5 and this was not the same on the N5, if my phone was silent, that was it. My phone wouldn't play me sounds at all. Sony however, think that even when I am in silent, I should still be notified audibly when I am on the phone and listening to music....
Anyway, thank you for your little workaround! I will send their support line an email, maybe if enough of us do it they will fix this stupid behavior.
Tom.
