So when im talking on the phone and i get a incoming text message or email you drag down the notification bar and it stops ringing NO not my phone it keeps going until the entire ring-tone is done. Normally this is not a problem when your ringtone is 1-3 seconds long BUT when your ringers is an entire minute+ long its a HUGE problem cause you cant hear what the person is is saying with loud music coming through the same speaker....Ive been keeping the tones short lately but this problem needs to be addressed......The only way for the music to stop is to let it play all the way through or restart the phone ive tried opening the message and i tried deleting the message nothing works but those 2 options can some1 help btw im on fd26 but this has been a problem since i can remember at least build fd19.
The issue appears to be that a ringtone has been assigned by default for notifications. If this is from a custom ROM load, it should be addressed (clearly) with the developer, not here in the Q/A section.
The only thing you can do to correct the problem for now is to change the notification sound for each app (and the default one as well) to a proper one.
im on a stock rom so im not sure if its a bug or just my phone issue.

How long is the ringtone as you call it??? Is it a song? Or the default tone?

What do you mean you tryed shorter? Just use the default text alert to see if it carrys on in a loop? If not already tried this?
The .wav or .mp3 will not stop untill the sound plays out if it is long.

Yes i do but what is the prognosis please be a bit more specific on what is wrong when you use the default message tone.
Stylez, is it just me, or are you completely confused with what the problem is too?
So from what I've read, the message tone starts, doesn't loop(start over), but it never ends. So has it grown artificial intelligence and refuses to stop when it reaches the end? and just keeps making up new tones so that the party continues on and on and on....
I'm totally misunderstanding the problem here I think
I don't think he understands what you are asking (LOOPING). Might I suggest not using any sound notification at all then. Change your settings to no sound notification. (SIMPLE) or you can try Vibrate Notification - if the vibrate loops too then you will have to turn that off as well. (Looping refers to once the track has reached it's end, it starts over again, and again and again and again................................................. If it is not looping, then the track will stop playing once it has reached the end. A song can be only so long. I have never found a song that lasts forever; however, there are some Pink Floyd Songs that are over 20 minutes. ***DONT USE THOSE***
This is the best I can suggest since I haven't used your device. I have the Touch Elf.

I'm with you on that one, i think he's not sure himself what is going on but we will see?
I'm off to bed will dream about how to sort out the artificial intelligence message ringtone tone thing.
This could be a retoricle thread or could end up in the hall of shame
Hotrod101 maybe i need to leave the terminology @ home surely everyone know what a loop is??? so if i ing what's it do???
Alright guys, I think I know what he's trying to say.
I've had this similar problem before.
I think this is what he's trying to say...
1)He set a custom alert,(a song), for his text message.
2)He gets a text, and bingo - it starts playing his selected ringtone.
3)So he picks up his phone, goes to the text message, and wouldn't you know? The ringtone won't stop playing even though he's clarified with the OS that he's acknowledged the message, (therefore expecting the ringtone to stop). Hell, he may even be creating a response to the message already, but the alert still won't stop....
4)So what does he do? He sets a shorter ringtone; shortens the length of the song, hoping it'd make a difference.
5)BUT, it doesn't. Why? I believe this is because that is one flaw in the dash's OS, (if you wanna call it that). Even though you may have acknowledged the new text message, it will stay play THE FULL LENGTH OF THE ALERT you have assigned it.
EX) Phone says, "I have a new text?!, play the designated alert! What? You already know you have a new text message? I don't care mufucka, I got a job to do, and that's play the full [length] alert I was told to play!"
If you notice, the pre-installed text message alerts, are relatively short.
So did the programmers just say, "f-it, we can't seem to make it so the alert stops playing once a message is read/acknowledged, so we'll just install short alerts", who knows.
Ok, I got this now, since you explained it. Let me put this so even mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm can understand.
Hey mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
you have to useeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee a short tone, not a long one, because it will playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy until it finishes the whole toneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............
So use the one of the defaulttttttttttttt tonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnessss if you can't make a shorter one yourselffffffffffffffffffffffff. did you get it mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??????????????????????????????
Don't use long tonessssssss like you like to make long wordsssssssssssss.
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooool?

I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of first timers here who don't know much about electronics, computers, let alone these WM devices; therefore; they are not familiar with simple terminologies, or even basic operations of our devices. We don't know anything about this guy.
I mean no disrespect to you or the individual who created this thread.
but you must have seen some of these seemingly rediculous posts / questions -
Not that this one is rediculous
I have answered some peoples questions (Simple to me) but not to them - How do I install a cab? I downloaded the cab but cannot install it because it is zipped and when I unzip it is is not there? My weather app displays the wrong temperature? (this was a matter of this user having to change his weather settings from Celcius to Ferhenheit.) We are all learning as we go, some of us have been in the game a lot longer then others. Those just starting out (NOOBS as they are sometimes referred as) have to learn somehow eventually. Even those who have years and years of experience and education can get confused, over think things, or just plain forget. Sometimes out of frustration, we cannot see the obvious. That is why these forums are so great. We can ask for help from others who will be objective.
I have never seen this problem before and it may be a legitimate problem (Who knows) It is interesting to me to find out and learn about it because maybe it might happen to me.

Yep i also answered one half an hour b4 this even had to check 2 c if double post, if u want to use a custom sound song whatever? Google Audacity it's free and chop the sound up, sorry answer short, i'm one eyein phone, can't sleep must turn off Dash the light is shining.
I upgraded to 2.2 OTA yesterday. Everything has worked great except that out of all issues, the notification sound for my text message became a very low key pop sound. I attempted to change it various times and tried resetting my phone a couple of times to see if that changed anything and nothing.
The funny part is I can still change the sound notifications for my twitter, so it is specifically the text messaging that is causing a problem. I have never rooted and didn't flash that early froyo, just the legit one yesterday.
Can anyone help me?
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Have you tried a reboot?

By rebooting you mean turning off and turning on? If yes I have many times and tried taking out the battery too.

Im rooted using fresh right now it is built on the latest OTA and I'm trying to replicate your problem. What happens when you attempt to change the sound also where are you changing the sound at in messaging settings or the default in sounds?

When I go to settings/sound/notification sound I click any of the sounds and click ok. (As I highlight any of them it plays the preview sound).
Then I exit and have multiple people text me and it plays a little tiny sounding popping sound instead of whatever sound I picked.
Now I am on launcher pro and attempted changing on regular sense and nothing happened. I'm also using chompsms. (maybe uninstall chompsms?)
I don't know what to do . I turned off the phone several times and also took out the battery. Twitter notifications work fine, so its directly related to texting
go into your messages home screen press menu, press settings, scroll to received messages heading, make sure play notification sound is checked and than select a notification sound from the next option below and select ok

OMG THANK YOU !!!!!!!! You have no idea how frustrated I was with this !
I really appreciate it man.
I was using juggernaut 5.0 and was having a problem with the ringer. It would show a call coming in but no audio ring tone. i checked all setting to make sure it was turned up all the way. i wiped did a fresh install and still nothing. It worked the first few days and again no ringtone. I love the rom fast, stable, and tons of themes. But the ringer just randomly not working is ruining it for me. I tried rebooting calling and again the called shows on the screen but no ring tone. Is this a known problem or does anyone have any tips as to what is causing this or how to fix it? Any help would appreciated.

I would also try to reassign your tone. Just pick the same tone again and save it.
as crazy as this sounds you choosing the same ring tone over worked. its crazy i tried multiple ringtones. but never the same one twice. guess it just needed to be stuck twice for it to stick lol.
At first I thought the rom I flashed on my GS2X was screwed so I flashed a stock rom and found the same was happening. Sometimes when a call comes in the phone does not ring and appears to be in silent mode when it is not?
Anyone know of some 'feature' that may be causing this?

You could try something, and I know itl sound weird but,
Change your ringtone, I had it happen to me a few times when I tested some of the roms on here..
That usually helped for me.
Or simply to you have motion on? Lol if so turning it upside down mutes it lmfao
Go to settings>MOTION>turn over to mute xD
And if that is it, I'm not gonna pick on ye, my buddy was wining about the same thing couple months ago n it was that, he got it for a few weeks.. I had my fun..
Thanks. I use phoneweaver to automatically change ringers and volume levels based on location etc and I think the settings aren't 'sticking' properly. I have never had issues until now on this phone. I noticed when this app changes the screen brightness even though the new value is shown in settings it has not actually changed. Maybe the same thing was happening on the ringer? The last time a call came in with no ring I quickly rebooted without changes and it rang when I called the phone so who knows...
I'll test further.
OK this problem has been bugging me. Its started a few weeks back and i thought when i updated to 4.3 it would go away. But no luck.
Here is the problem. I have a Samsung S3 SGH I747M on Rogers was on 4.1.2 stock rom rooted. Now im on 4.3 stock rom rooted.
My phone keeps changing the notification/ all volumes on it own to very low. I can hardly hear it. I reboot my phone and its back to normal and all volumes are were i set them. Now i did notice that when it does go very low all my volume sliders go to the max position but everything will be very low.
Its driving me crazy. I have uninstalled several apps that i thought might be causing the problem but nothing seems to fix it. My next step is to do a factory reset. Which i really don't want to do as i have my phone set up the way i like it.
I'm hoping some of you phone gurus out there can help me find this annoyance.
Thanks.
Wow. No reply's. I guess nobody has had this problem before. Ill keep looking.
My volume dips occasionally, but I'm on pacman Rom with viper4android installed. In my case it happens when viper decides to randomly crash.

Did you have any audio mods installed ? If so then that might have caused the problem because to fully uninstall those you have to remove some of their system files or if they changed your build.prop you might have to undo the changes.
Other than that im not really sure what might be causing it.

I have the same issue. I uninstalled Ram Booster and disabled Power Savings Mode. Problem still exists but volume change is much less. Also ,it happens exactly when screen turns off. Factory reset did not solve it for me.

I just started experiencing this issue as well. Never noticed it before as I always had my phone on silent for school but now that im on vacation I turned the sound back on and I can't hear the locking and unlocking sounds unless the phone is right next to my ear. The keyboard and the basic touch sounds are very quiet too. Wondering if you managed to fix this problem ?

Hey Florad77,
Yes i did manage to fix it. Tasker is the culprit. Its not playing nice with the 4.3 update. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and everything was working fine. No volume changes. Then i set up some tasks, simple ones like turn off my Bluetooth when i leave my truck etc. And low and behold the sound issues came back. It must be when tasker trys to run tasks that it F,s everything up in the phones settings for sound. I just uninstalled it again and i also removed secure settings as well. Here is a review of Tasker from google play with the same sound problems.

Sound notifications don't work... After the recent update, notifications stopped playing sound files, unlike always. A power related task keeps firing when it's not supposed to. 4.3.yuga.pac

I hope this fixes your problem. Mine is work just fine now after the uninstall.
Volume issues fixed.
OK. I was still having the problem even after deleting most of the apps i thought were causing the problem. But had no luck fixing the volume issue. I remembered my son saying he has had a problem with his phone not connecting to the Bluetooth also but his had a different error. So i asked him what his issue was and he said every time he tries to connect he gets an error saying "unable to play during call" So i googled his problem and found the answer and it fixed his Bluetooth error. I then checked my own settings and changed it also and if fixed mine.
So If you use text plus go to settings and unselect enable incoming calls, and that will fix the unable to play during call error when using your music player over Bluetooth. And like me if your also having volume issues after connecting to Bluetooth it will fix that also. Make sure to reboot your phone after the change.
I hope this helps somebody as this problem has been driving me crazy for months now. I was so close to doing a factory reset and re flashing the rooted 4.3 rom again.

The problem with the volume that you are facing is because of a secret call in the background via Hangouts.
Basically Hangouts connects a call with someone in the background without user's interaction and phone goes into call mode.
And in call mode volumes are adjusted appropiately as it should be in a normal call and all the sounds come out of earpiece.
If you turn off Hangouts, you will not get this problem again.
Hit Thanks!, if it helps
