[Q] Disappearing Notification Sounds/OMEGA v28 ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, just updated to the v28 version of the Omega ROM (was on v27.2 before) and something that I was hoping would be corrected isn't.
I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed that their notification sounds are being reset to nothing after a couple hours. I notice this with the email/sms but not with the ringtone. I will set my sms notification to on, to whatever sound I want, it will work for a couple hours, then, even though the notification is still set to on, when I go into the list of sounds to choose from, none of them are selected.
same thing with the email. I will go in and set it again to the sound I want, but after a couple hours, I'm setting it back up again. It seems like this probably happens almost 10 times a day. Just wondering if anyone else has any ideas of what to do or if anyone is having the same problem.
I'd post this in the omega rom thread but I've been lurking for too long and not actually posting so I'm not allowed in there yet haha.
thanks

sound volume vibrant

Hello all,
I've tried searching via post new similar topic suggestion box but did not find anything.
But my question is this.
my vibrant sometimes randomly resets the sound volumes- incoming call/media/system/notification all of them.
Sometimes they are jacked all the way up sometimes really low.
does anyone have the similar experience? anyone know what's going on?
Thanks!
have you tried either
1.flashing a new rom
2.odin back to stock
So are you saying that for example you go to sleep and the volume setting is at maximum, but when you wake up its mysteriously set to low, then you look at it in an hour or so and its back up to maximum again? Thats how I understood the OP am I correct?
hello,
i'm on bionix 1.3.1 and i've done a fresh install. I ODIN'd to stock and flashed bionix.
Yes that's right, the volume randomly would be changed. It seems to occur at random. I guess I'm the only one with this issue....
I know its a little joke with all our devs who like to set our default sound notifications to silent on the initial flash. Thats what I was originally thinking was happening to you. But I never heard of this problem ur experiencing. I would think if a fresh ODIN & install didn't correct your issue it might be hardware defect, but even thats hard to believe. Good luck!

[Q] Ringtones changing at random?

Has anyone been having an issue with there ringtones/notifications/alarm sound settings changing?
It seems 2-3x a day my ringtone, notification tone, and alarm sounds go back to some sort of default setting.

I have had similar problems and for me it was because the ring tones i was using were on the sdcard and if I got a cal or text while using the sdcard in disk mode it would go to the default ringtone I solved this by copy the ringtone,alarms and notifications that I use to the phone
mines doing it without using the SDCARD as a disk but that makes some sense, I guess ill put them on the internal memory...
stupid problem to have it seems though? ha
I have same problem, my rings was changed sometimes itself. I have all rings on SDCARD, because I have STOCK rom, so I can't write on internal storage. Rings was changed especialy after reboot, but sometimes it was changed during running device. I tried to restore device to factory setting and load all my apps back, and problem is still there. Any advise? Sorry about my english
That's weird, my buddy at work and I have been having the same problem only recently. Maybe the last two weeks. I'm rooted but haven't changed anything for close to a month. My buddy isn't rooted and he has only updated the visual voicemail app.

Random ringtones stink at work
My wife has stock stock stock. She has this issue.
I have rooted stock. I have this issue.
We both use Go Launcher. All sounds are on the SDcard but neither of us goes into drive mode much at all, if ever.
We have many audio files on our phones. Maybe the system is running into a max limit of files?
Also, sounds change on Go SMS, gmail, and G+, as well as phone defaults.
I was in a meeting at work and it switched randomly to the iphone default ring (didn't even remember I had it on there). I let it ring because couldn't be me...I don't have an iphone! Yeah, it was me. I was the jerk with the ringing phone.
This has happened only within the past month or so. We have had our E3ds for a year or so.
I will never again buy anything with Sense or without very solid, and very open kernels. This phone screws up really simple things. Multitouch stops working sometimes, the phone reboots at random sometimes, and now the ringer switches at random? Man, a Nexus sounds nice right now.

[Q] Doesn't play SMS/ring tones through?

Hi,
My S3 is acting up. The first 24 hours it was okay, but out of the sudden it has developed a habit of not playing SMS and ringtones all the way trough, it plays only the first ½ second.
Tried selecting other SMS and ringtones, with no change. Restarted / powercycled the phone. Check that no other apps are running (taskmanager)
What might be wrong?
Getting the same problem as you my friend
I believe others are having the same trouble as us. . . .
One solution was to make the vibration last longer as it might be the problem.
I made a new vibration pattern but this only happens with a call.
Hopefully someone will find a solution soon . . . It doesn't always happen which is more worrying.
Yea, this is exactly the same issue. I don't use vibration with sound enabled though, but it seems different how long the phone plays the tones. If i select the "KNOCK" sms tone, it might knock 1, 2 or 3 times - randomly.
Got the same problem defo seems like a bug I'm sure Samsung will be releasing bug fixes soon

Just reset my phone. SMS and ringtones seems to be working fine again - for now... I'd hate to do this every 24 hours.
BUMP. My SGS3 just started doing this earlier. Has anyone found a better solution than resetting the damn phone?
tried above suggestion of making a new vibration pattern and it seems to be working. will update thread to confirm if fix is permanent.
update: only a few hours after the supposed fix, it's acting up again. sigh.
Mine was doing the same. Found a solution i think... copy the desired tone eg ur .mp3 into all folders such as ringtones, media > audio > notifications, notifications folders. It must read from one of these folders but not sure which one so i copied it into all n tested a few times by getting some1 to sms me and it worked. Hope this helps out. Don't know why it started doing this all of a sudden though
Ok that wasn't it...but now found another thing. If u have the option in msg settings 'delete old msgs' n u have reached your limit, when you have received a msg from that person which the limit he been exceeded, the tone won't play or it will only play for one sec like mine. 2 options to fix this: 1) untick that option or put a higher number in woohoo

Help ... Random sonar notification noise!

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked, i didn't see anything in the forums specific to this, but i have a random sonar type noise that goes off every so often, probably about 10-15 times a day in fact, annoying at night, it has no notifications or any indication what it could be.
It started when i updated to 4.0.4 with I9300XXLG8 and the Siyah -s3-v1.5rc1 kernel. I had installed and tried the AOSP jelly bean, didn't like it, did full wipe and reverted back to 4.0.4, but had installed the latest modem and kernel.
after this i restored all my apps and settings from my backup and i was happy. since i did this i have had random sonar noises that didn't happen before with other firmware, and i have no idea what to do to stop it.
Is there any way to find out what notification sounds are assigned to which programs? or could it be something to do with the kernel?
has anyone else experienced this?
no worries if nobody has any suggestions, there are worst things that could happen, its only an annoying sounds every now and then, but any help would be appreciated!!!
Paul.
bump!
Weird lol, try a factory reset, if it stops then probably it's some kind of app, start installing apps one by one (or 10 by 10) and try to pinpoint which app is causing the sound.
have you checked if you have nfc active? i had a similar situation on my phone and it would play a notification sound randomly (i assumed randomly, but it wasn't).. only a few months leter i realised it only played that sound when i was holding the phone and my wallet together.. i happened to have a card with an nfc chip from my football team..
I checked all that stuff, nfc is off, even while airplane mode is on and there should be no network activity, it still makes the noise, there is no set pattern either, I did want to try and avoid a full reset, but ill have to try it out, maybe if i do that ill try the latest JB leak.
thanks for your responses guys!.
Paul.
Figured it out in the end!, it was a HTC animated clock widget i had installed! it made a notification noise every time the location changed!!
deleted and noise now gone!..
Does anyone know where i might be able to find a good HTC animated clock widget that has a smooth flip animation?
i tried a few and dont seem to be getting any joy! I have it on my work phone which is a HTC Wildfire S. i like that clock.

Problems With My Device - Please Help

Hello all. Ive seen a bunch of the threads of people talking about issues with their device, but I've found a few weird bugs that I haven't seen anywhere else, so I wanted to see if anyone else has seen these/knows a solution.
Before I get started, I have a 32GB WiFi only N9. I installed that first firmware update that you get when you start the device, and nothing else. I have NOT rooted, installed a customer kernel, unlocked the bootloader, nothing. My current build number reads as LRX21L.
1) Heads Up Notifications. I don't get them. Period. This was a Lollipop feature I was really looking forward to, and no matter what app it is or what I'm doing, they don't give me a Heads Up popup. I don't think I did anything that would turn them off, it's just weirding me out that it's not happening. Is there a toggle somewhere that controls it?
2) Flashlight Toggle. I love that we finally have this, but the weirdest thing happened recently: it vanished. Like just totally up and vanished. I've only used it a few times in the week I've had the device, but I've never even touched the Cast Screen toggle and it's still there. Honestly, I used the flashlight toggle less than 24 hours before it vanished. How do I get it back?
I'm inclined to do a factory reset and see if it fixes these issues, but I wanted to check with you folks first. I also feel like I'm forgetting a third thing, if it comes to me I'll add it to this post.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry to hear about your problems. I'm also not receiving heads up notifications. I have notifications set to "always interrupt", but have never received a heads up notification.
I still have the flashlight quick toggle, though (located under "invert colors").
I'd flash the 21Q factory image. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and flash it manually. If you still have problems it could be a hardware issue.
