Does anyone else have a problem with their xperia using the default system notification sound for ALL notifications instead of what is set for each app? For instance, snapchat notifications always use the system default instead of the sounds that snapchat specifically is supposed to install and use. It's really annoying as I've gotten inconsistent results trying to set custom notifications for specific apps to use and some refuse to use the custom settings. Is it something I'm doing wrong?
I have the XQ-BC72 version of the phone.
I apologize if this has been asked before, my search didn't pull up anything in this realm of use case.
Thanks.
Can't speak for Snapchat as I do not use it. However, I have different sounds set for different things and they all work as expected. Do you have a separate "notifications" and "ringtones" folder? If not then you need to create each one in the root of the device and place all the 3rd party sounds you want to use in the proper folder. Now in settings you can choose a default notification sound which will be used by default by all your communications apps UNLESS you go into each apps settings to choose a specific one. If for some reason you continue to have issues try to choose "none" for the default notification sound. This way you will have to choose a sound for each app or else you will not hear anything.

Been running 10.1 for about a week now and am loving it. Unfortunately, my first beef with this ROM just popped up and I'm hoping someone out there can help. When selecting a tone for a new alarm (or just setting a ring tone for that matter), I'm prompted to select from the stock system sounds. I know when I first flashed to this ROM I could select to use a set of sounds as my default and am fairly certain I chose the extended bank of sounds. Why limit yourself, right? At any rate, I went to manage applications and can't reset defaults because the button is greyed out and unselectable. The non-standard set of sounds is still in there as evidence of both my alarms going off with the sound I had been looking for and, in addition, I can still see all this "missing" tones when I open up Astro File Manager and go to /mnt/sdcard/system/media/audio. At this point, there are folders for alarms, notifications, ringtones & ui, ALL of which contain sound files...the ones I'm in search of. How can I reset this? Did a nandroid backup when sounds were still accessible and when I reflashed to the backup I was still missing the option to select these sounds. What gives? Help!!
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!

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...

So this is odd. I just got my Note II (love it for the most part), but can't figure this out for the life of me. There seems to be only one vibrate option, and that's in the main system settings > sound. It allows you to choose a vibrate pattern or create your own. If you go into the dialer (phone app) you can also set a vibrate pattern from there. Problem is the two are linked. If I change the one in phone it changes the main settings and vice versa. The messaging app has no such option, therefore my call and text vibrate patterns are always identical.
This is kind of annoying. I'd like to just use the stock messaging app. I have Handcent installed right now until I can (hopefully) find a fix for this, because that takes care of my problem, but it's not exactly the workaround I was looking for. Is there any way to fix this?
Hi all, one thing bothering me is the inability to set individual notification sounds, I have discovered how to do it for email but I cannot set individual sounds for other apps, so my Facebook, text etc are all the same, it's annoying me. Is there any way to change this, either a setting I don't know about or a good free app.
Many thanks
For some reason I noticed the device does not vibrate for any type of notifications.
SMS, Email, Calendar etc.
Anyone know how to fix this.
I tried going into setting and sounds , i am only able to set vibrate patterns on ring only, nothing for sms or notifications.
is there an external app or something we can do to fix this?
let me know

Hi @rinnycoop121,
First and foremost, are you certain that all of your vibration settings are correctly set?
First, check all of the following sections within settings:
Sounds & Vibration (Vibration & Silent)
Make sure that "Vibration" is on
Sounds & Vibration (Sound Effects and Modes)
Make sure that "Default notification sound" is set to a sound you can adequately hear
System > Accessibility (Vibration & haptic strength)
Make sure that it is on for "Notification vibration"
Then, for each app you wish to change the notification settings for, do the following::
Go into the "App info" (Settings) of the app, select "Notifications", and then make sure everything you want is checked.
You would do the same thing for every other app where you want notifications to appear.
If the previous procedures did not solve your issue, there is an external app that you may utilize. "BuzzKill," which specializes in notification automation, is the one I'm most acquainted with. According to the Google Play store, BuzzKill "allows you to see the notifications you want to see when you want to see them and filter out those you don't". I suppose "BuzzKill" may be the answer you're looking for to solve your notification issue.
