Android 6 notification problems - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a HTC One M8 and I tried to set a custom txt and email notification but for some reason. My tone is checked but not used. The app says it is using the default but when I go into the setting it shows my tone.
Please can anyone help.

can I set a custom ringtone for text messages

ok my first Atrix I could do it. I can not find where to do it. It is only showing my the regular tones. What am I missing? Where can I put a custom ringtone for text message. I am using the standard text with the phone.
Thanks

Here's how I do it:
Install GO SMS
Set the default notification sound in Settings (Android NOT GO SMS) which will be your email notification sound now.
Turn off notifications in the stock Text Message app
In GO SMS set the notification sound to whatever you like.
This way you have one sound for email and another for text messages.

[Q] Unable to change default sound

Is there a way to change the default sound to something other then the pre-loaded HTC sounds? I was able to change the phone ringtone to a song on my sd card. When going to settings, phone ringtone there is a new ringtone button which let me choose whatever I want but when I go to the default sounds I do not have that option. The only option I get is, get more, which takes me to the HTC hub. I tried ringdroid and made a ringtone but it don't show up. I also installed tone picker but it doesn't show up either. Another strange thing is, I am using handcent and have a mp3 selected within handcent but when I get a text it uses the default notification instead. Anyone else having this problem?
I had similar issues. I used HTC Hub to download a new ringtone package, and found out that it just over writes everything I may have had selected.
I've had to go in and redo my ringtone and message notifications a few times, mostly after I hook it up and enable SD storage on the computer.
If I have someone call or send a text message while its hooked up as storage, it changes EVERYTHING back on mine to the stock sound settings.
Ok what i did with mine was use astro file manager to take whatever mp3s i wanted for notifications and copied and pasted them into my notifications folder which will be located in your media folder,open astro click sd card then click media then audio then notifications and paste whatever you want to hear for notifications sounds in there then when you go to your list they should show up and work like a charm.
I think I did that with a file manager and it still didn't show under Notification sounds. You need to hit set as once the desired file is highlighted and set it as a notification that way.
Use Zedge. Its a free app and you can select it as default instead of using system. Works wonders!

Menu --> Personalize --> Notification Sound
This is where you can change the default notification sound as well as the sound for the email app, the messaging app, and the calendar.
This took me awhile to figure out. A new feature of Sense 3.0. Possibly introduced in Sense 2.1. Not sure. But different than the EVO either way...

[Q] No notification icon for sms

Hi
Having some problems when receiving sms messages, I don't get a notification icon. Im currently using Handcent but if i use Go SMS i get the same problem. I've gone to the stock message settings and unticked and re-ticked the 'receive notifications icon' but still no joy.
The strange thing is now and again the icon will decide to pop when I'm actually in the message.
Spec,
HTC Desire HD
Android version 2.3.3
Sense 3.0
Software No 1.24.401.1
Kernel Version 2.6.35.13-RCMIX-3D-4.3.3-CFS-g2c9e9c8
This has happened to me in the past and i had to format to sort it out.
Any ideas?

You can change your general notification alert tone, and also specifically your messaging alert tone. Perhaps you changed your messaging alert tone specifically, then changed your general one. Check in the settings of your messaging app for an alert tone there.

Voicemail - Setting your Notification Sound

I know voicemail notifications have always been a problem, or at least on the HTC phones that I've had in the past. I just got the DNA this week. There is the usual option to set your default (system) notification sound in the sound profiles under main settings (Menu/Settings/Sound/Notification Sounds/Default Notification). But, there's also an option for setting an individual notification sound for your voicemail in the voicemail settings (Voicemail/Menu/Settings/Voicemail Settings/Notification Sound). However, when I set/apply my sound file for voicemail notifications, it still uses the sound file that I have set for the default system notifications.
Does anyone else have this problem, or know of a solution?
Thanks!

Does anyone else have the same problem as me? Using separate sound files for Voicemail Notification and Default Notification?
All my HTC phones lose Sense once I get them (unlock and s-off within the hour I buy them and put an aosp based ROM on), and I have never encountered this issue in any AOSP/CM ROM I tried.
