Does anyone else have this issue?
I'll be doing my thing, living my life, and all of a sudden I'll get an email or SMS and my SGS2 running CM7.1 will randomly decide to play an MP3 instead of my chosen messaging tone (which is Link collecting a rupee).
It usually changes it to a specific song I have on my phone, but once has changed it to a different messaging tone I had used before.
I can then manually set it back to my link collecting a rupee sound but a day or two later it'll decide it wants to play "Take This One From Me" by 'It's True'
I can't seem to pin down why It's happening though.

Hi all,
There doesn't seem to be an option to switch off repeat notifications. Whenever I receive an email and I don't read it immediately, I'll get a repeat notification sound every 5 minutes or so until I acknowledge the email in some way.
I have looked to no avail, so am hoping that someone can point out where this option is. I have set up quiet time from 10PM - 7AM, but this isn't helping outside these quiet hours.
Hope you can help.
Thanks..
I think its a gmail bug. Except for me I get the messages report in winmo. Even if I delete them they come back. Fu!$&ng annoying. Even though I don't use winmo, I still see them if I have to do a restart or something
I've never bad this problem at all...

I'm using an app called Improved Email. Not syncing to Gmail, but internal mail app grabs corporate exchange, improved mail to another exchange server and also a hotmail account. Still don't see an option to disable the repeat notifications..
Are you having this problem with Gmail, or a different mail app? Because there are a few bugs ive noticed with the Gmail app like mattfmartin said. Sometimes I wont receive an email in WM but the moment i boot up into Android i start getting notifications from old & new emails.

Hi, I don't use gmail at all. I don't have a problem receiving email either, its just that when I do receive emails the notification sounds keep sounding every 5 minutes until I go into the mail application and read them which I don't often have time to do so the repeat notification sounds become quite annoying after 15 minutes or so, especially at work where they annoy other work colleagues as well.
my phone beeps one time, then the orange light stays on until i check it..
this must be build specific.. perhaps post in the build thread.
I dont use gmail either. And I get the notification repeats for everything. It's especially annoying for voicemail, and it doesnt matter if I have new voicemail or not, I check all the messages and then the notification comes back 5-10 minutes later, then I check again and there are no new messages... It's just annoying really though, not that big of a deal...
Before I switched my ace to CM7, Heywire worked fine. Now that I switched roms, it keeps giving me a wrong ID message every time I put the right password countless times. Can anyone tell me something about this? Or is it something to do with the rom? If so, how does this happen?
Or as an alternative, does anyone know any other international texting apps? I'm using textplus but it doesn't give me a phone number and a lot of people had my Heywire number.
Any help?
Alternative? Use whatsapp. Low CPU and memory footprint.
WhatsApp is a messaging thing basically. I'm talking about just texting. WhatsApp only lets me contact those that have WhatsApp installed and not a random phone number.
I switch ROMs a lot. And the way I want my ringtones set up, currently takes a lot of effort.
I have about 50 contacts. I usually set 5-10 of them with a specific ringtone.
But what I would REALLY like, is there to be a generic ringtone for "all CONTACTS" and then another ringtone (Default) for NON-CONTACTS.
So if my phone rings with the default ringtone, in theory, is someone I don't know or has never called me before. But I don't want to filter out all unknown callers, because sometimes I do still need to answer it for a noncontact.
I'd just like to know when I hear the phone ring.
Now in the past, I've gone through the effort of setting a ringtone for each individual contact, but when you reflash your phone at least once a month, this feels like it's more effort than it should be.
I feel like it should only take a simple app or mod that'll go
IF CONTACT IN DATEBASE: Ringtone A
IF CONTACT NOT IN DATABASE: Ringtone B
Is that really so much to ask?
But my efforts to search the market don't leave me with anything like this in app form.
I've also tried contact groups. But that requires you to have duplicate contact entries. The ones loaded into the phone memory and the ones sync'd from your google account. Which is pretty much just as much work if not more.
Because;
I could simply export them to a card file, import them to phone memory and set the groups in a bout 5 minutes. But then if I don't want to see all the names twice (which I don't), I have to go into each contact and select "join contact"
Which is about as bad as setting a ringtone per contact.
Perhaps I'm a little too OCD. But I'm OCD and also an obsessed geek who watches too much Stargate SG-1 / SGA, and I take the Gate = Phone analogy a little too far.
So my ringtones are this:
Noncontact: [SFX] Unscheduled Off-World Activation.] What have we got? [We're not sure ma'am, we're not receiving and IDC] Defense teams standby! Lower the shield! [SFX]
Generic Contact: [SFX] Off-World Activation. Receiving IDC. [Lower shield/open iris] [SFX]
Specific Contact: [SFX] Off-World Activation! Receiving [X-Person's] IDC! [Lower shield/open iris] [SFX]
etc etc etc.
PS. I have an Epic 4G (keyboard) on Sprint. Currently running latest official stock build, however I just came off of ACS ICS 5.5
and am considering reflashing that or going back to FrozenSyndacite 1.2
I have wanted this ability since custom ringtones have existed and I have yet to find a phone application that has a ringtone for "unknown caller". All I can advise is ask the developer of your favourite 3rd party phone app to add it. I filed bug reports with Google during cupcake and donut and they were never addressed.
Cheers!

Hi guys
I have a very annoying issue. I am on android 4.0.3. I set up my contacts to show only phone contacts as I always have. I had sgs2 before so this is just another unit.
So, I setup a contact picture for one special contact and I can see the small thumbnail next to the name. Ooook. Now, when I call or get a call from that person the photo doesnt show. Just the regular samsung calling screen. Never happened with another unit.
Second issue is with the ringtones. No.matter what song I setup for a contact, phone only plays the general ringtone.
I dont understand what is happening. I dont want to use a 3rd party app, for such basic function.
Any idea is welcome. Thank you!
Okay, I am having trouble with only ONE of my contacts not playing a sound when I receive a text from him. Everyone else it goes through, but it's driving me crazy that his texts don't play a sound. I've tried looking through his contact information to see if there was anything in there, tried making a new contact file for him, checked my notification settings, but I can't figure it out. My sound plays for every other person in my phonebook.
This problem is also not phone specific. I had this problem on my Amaze, but bought the N4 last week, and it doesn't play the sound for this contact either.
Has anyone ever come across this? I can't stand it!
