That sounds like an issue with software somewhere. Are you running stock or custom ROM? The first thing Of suggest to do regardless is a complete factory reset. If the problem persists and your on stock ROM take the handset back as its likely faulty.

I have the same problem (plays notification sound for half a second). But a strange thing is that it doesn't do it with all contacts, only when few particular contacts send me a SMS. Notification sounds for Gmail etc. works fine. The problem has been there from the day I received my phone, so probably it is somekind of software problem...
True could just be s software bug, it is running a heavily customised version of android.
Are the contacts all in the same place?
The OP also mentioned laggyness too though.

I've the same problem....
I did little testing. I deleted everything related to one of my contact, number from the phone and from the SIM-card, and all the SMS messages with the contact. Then I add the contact back and surprise, notification sound works fine. Probably have to delete and re-add all the contacts which have a problem with notification sound.

Dear All,
Does anyone know how to adjust some setting to make the text message alert happen more than once?!
It must surely be possible if the inferior iPhone does it!
Many thanks
Go SMS gives you that option and a ton more.

The stock messaging system IS pretty awful. It's a shame they didn't put more thought into it.
I use GoSMS myself. It has settings for setting up reminders.
Is there anyways to have motion work with GoSMS?
Thank you all - I'll have a look at GoSMS
If you want to use the stock messaging service, and you still want to receive motion alerts and whatnot from your phone. I have been using this app called Easy Reminder. It seems to do exactly as I had hoped, it will give you a reminder tone, or vib whenever you have missed sms. There is also configuration for missed calls. Again, this is if you would like to retain stock functionality but just want missed call and sms reminders.
Also one motion feature will alert you when you pick the phone up if you have missed events.

Yeah GO SMS is the one you want:good:
OK, I have searched high and low for anyone having this issue, and have found a few posts that are similar to the problem I am experiencing but not quite the answer I am looking for.
I am a happy Galaxy Note owner, who did the upgrade to ICS through my carrier, which is Rogers, up here in Canada. I am having issues with my ringtones. It appears I cannot switch my ringtone for individual contacts, after installing the update. I am able to choose my ringtone in the contact menu with no problem, but for some reason, it reverts back to the main/default ringtone I have chosen as a general ringer. I am able to change out the ringtone for the phone itself, with either the preinstalled tones, or tones that I have installed manually, I just can't get them to work for individual contacts. Everything was working fine while I was on GB, but no dice on ICS. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried changing the tones to different folders and such, and the ringtones I want are showing up in the ringtone menu but will not take effect, even after a reboot. Any suggestins would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Shad.
stock Contact app?
A friend of mine had the same problem and we found they were using an alternative Contacts app that didn't work. Are you using the stock contact app to assign the ringtones?

Yes, I'm using the stock contacts app. I've tried everything, but I may have sorted it out. It looks like there is something wrong when u do it by the contact menu. I seem to have one working now, but haven't had any phone calls since. I had to manually add it to the media>audio> notifications folder. I hope it works, I should know tomorrow!
Using King Kangers ROM and his kernel. I'm not liking how the text now show as one and two messages. Son if I send a long text it splits it up in different texts and sends them separate. Anyway I can make it stop doing it?
And sometimes I get FCing when I send a text. Its random but not sure what it is.
Lastly, my contacts don't sink with Facebook. Is this a known issue with JB? I have it checked to sync. And the UI is so crappy. Ideas on how I can change or fix this?

Hey,
I'm having an issue and I'm not sure how to debug or where to seek for solution. Sender told me, that she sent me two messages, received reports, but I had received none. This is really hard to pick out, because if sender gots the report then he usually dont send the message again or tell me about it, unless it was an important message. I just installed Ghostly SMS app, but I'm not sure if it is the case, as my SGS should not be missing of ram, and I wasn't doing anything that would be using ram excessively (probably phone was just at the pocket at this time).
Any ideas how to find the source of such behaviour? My sim card is new, and I'm running omega v43.1 with stock kernel.
Thanks
Usually that is caused by your or the sender's network provider and not one of your device's.
I always notice it wheo sending from Germany to Luxembourg. I get SMS' like 8 hours later (if ever) but sender almost immediately gets the notification.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Problem is that I'm not using a lot of sms so it is difficult to catch some regularities in such behaviour. But maybe there is something for which I could look in logcat?
If it's caused by your provider as I suspect then your device does not get the sms. Unless you have access to your provider's logs you can't read them.
I've had people call me on sim cards that were not in a device and have it ring through or Sms that were "received" by devices which were not powerd on for months. So yeah =)

Ok, ghostly SMS just managed to restore 2 messages which didn't show in default messaging app. That makes me sure, that the phone actually receives these messages, so it's not the fault of the provider or sim card.
These 2 messages were received in a different time. After I noticed first one missing, I texted the sender to ask if she wrote me anything else, but she didn't and her answer was also received as a ghost sms. No huge resource consumming apps were running at this point - phone was on the desk with nothing running and screen turned off.
You could try a non-stock Sms app with a priority receiver, such as Go sms.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks, will give it a shot. But do you think that I should keep the default sms app? There's an option in go sms pro that it can handle messages if the stock app is uninstalled - I could do this using titanium backup or something and restore it in case of problems.
Ok, I did two things:
1. Tried installing Go sms pro along with stock message app - problem still occurs.
2. Tried uninstalling stock sms app and making go sms pro the only app which has to handle sms sending-receiving. But honestly I'm not sure about the results... First because ghostly sms is not working in such scenario, so I had no feedback from this app. Second is that nobody told me that I missed some messages and didn't answer.
So I'm stuck again and have no idea what to do. It happens on different network trans-receivers (I mean its not location dependent), also it is not sender-dependend (I miss even spam messages) and it's not sim-related because I had my sim changed. I believe that there must be something with the stock sms app, otherwise there wouldn't be apps like ghostly sms.
I have had similar issues chronically. Likewise found ghostly sms has received some that stock didn't receive.
In past I have found Go did no better. However, I have not rooted and did not remove stock app.
Among "power but non-root users", I don't think of myself as having lots of apps, but compared to more "normal" users, it is a lot. So I suspect that like me, you may encounter more memory issues than you are aware. I regularly run: facebook, fb messenger, accuweather, hacker keyboard, nitro touchdown, stock email (couple accounts), mypod, xabber, business calendar, stock browser.
Another observation though is the bloat that occurs in the messages database. I receive probably 20-50 messages each day that I can quickly delete (from automated monitor system). If I go to settings -> applications -> all, then I can see data and cache size for Messages is perhaps several MB. Clearing these, I then open Messages and it apparently rebuilds the database, as data size now quite reasonable. No messages lost. If I also reboot, it may send messages that it apparently thinks were not successful (sometimes it is correct, sometimes recipient reports it is a duplicate). However, after this, message delivery seems more reliable for a while.
Now, it doesn't take long for the unreliability to return, at least not 100%, so I will continue running ghostly. But with the occasional rebuild, I no longer have the situation where it seems I am losing most of my incoming, which I have seen.
So, it would seem that the messaging database can get corrupt or performance becomes so poor that it is effectively corrupt.
YMMV, obviously, but hopefully these observations help someone find the real problem. This is a very annoying and serious issue.

Hey,
I've almost forgot about this thread. I managed to deal with the problem by removing V6 supercharger script from the Omega rom which I use and it seems that for a few weeks now I havent lost any message.
However in your case this must be something different. In information about messaging app I have that the app takes 4.17MB, Data takes 16kB and cache is 0B. Version of my messaging app is reported as 4.1.2.-I9300XXELLC

I'm using Omega rom too and I have the same problem. I got all SMS with Ghostly SMS. I notice the problem appear after doing a Nandroid restore or Omega upgrade without full wipe. I will now remove supercharge to see what happen.

I tried the same thing (Clear data) for the SMS app didn't help.
Ghostly SMS work.
Like I just mention I will try to disable supercharge to see what happen.
Did somebody noticed that the notifications sound twice e.g. Outlook, Twitter
I've searched along the Apps configuration, I don't found anything related.
Can somebody help?

Yes! It's annoying and I'm looking for a solution to!

I haven't noticed this with Gmail. I'm not using Outlook or Twitter.
I get it with Outlook and Twitter. Had the same issue in my Pixel 2.
My friend has this on his att s9+ but I don't. Why is that?

you mean audio notification starts, and is interrupted by the same notification sounding a few milliseconds (0.2 sec or so) after the 1st one ? I'm having that

Same here. Gmail is fine, but Outlook's notification sound stutters and it is very annoying. I went into google play and left a comment on it. This could be an app problem, an oreo problem, or a samsung problem (or all of the above).

Ah, that may be explainable. In Gmail's settings, there's an entry labeled "Inbox notifications." Make sure it's set to Notify once, and not Notify for every message. If you choose every message, and get two emails at once, it will try to notify you twice at virtually the same time. I don't know if Outlook or Twitter have the same option.
I have it set to notify once
Hi All,
Did anyone find a way to solve this issue?

I had this problem with my S7 Edge, although it began after I installed a modded ROM. Gmail is the only app that gave me problems though. I never found a solution. Hope someone figures it out.
Had the same issue, noticed some people noted that secret folder might be the issue if u had the app in there too. I just uninstalled secret folder and the problem dissapeared, at least in gmail If u don't use Secret folder just delete that app, save the space
Known issue with outlook app and Microsoft still is not able to fix it on Oreo

Have you tried going into notifications for the ap ? Gmail has options to turn off sound alerts. This should stop the double alert sound.
I'm using the Mood text app and have individual notification sounds for different people. It's been working fine for about a month. Yesterday, these dual alerts started where the sound associated with that person sounds but then so does my global notification sound. It's definitely two sounds for every one text and it's very annoying. I didn't change any settings in the app or globally. I'm pretty sure the only change I made to my phone in that general timeframe was installing Words with Friends. Texts are the only app I get notifications for, so I have no idea if other apps would have the same issue.
ETA: Today I learned my calendar notifications also double alert.
Look under accessibility and then notification reminder if it’s on turn it off that work for me
