[Q] Any others with this issue (ringtone/notifications)

---

Ok.. So I bought the wife the SGS2 as she had been waiting for it since the kid through the captivate in the toilet ;D well i did the root method and then just put cognitions new rom on there.. I do not know if she was having the issue "stock" as I don't know that she put zedge on it and it was working . wife i saying it was happening with stock as well.. anyway.. the issue is.. i set (she sets) the ringtone and notification to something else.. I have tried stock and tones DL"d from zedge and no matter what I change it too.. it continues to just do the default tones.. her notification is that whistle sound and ringtone is the samsung one (i think) default..

any know why they are not changing and any solutions??? also.. she is notificing that no notification sound is being made when something comes in like and email and what not.. any ideas on that?? is there a setting im missing on her phone or somthing for this one?

thanks for any help

Hmm, I'll try to look into this later this week (going out tonight), but I do recall that notification tones for email seem to not work. However I may have just not heard it.

SMS and Google Talk notifications do work normally for me, same for ringtone.

My SMS and email notifications wont change for me either.. I change it in sound menu and still get that annoying "whistle" with every text!!

BTW I'm stock..

Ive noticed that you have to change the notification ringtone on the SMS application separate from the general notification ringtone in settings. Access this by hitting the menu key while in SMS app. I believe email notification tone would be accessed the same way.

This is correct. I did the same thing and now my notification sounds are as customized

This is the same as the Captivate (stock roms) -- you have to be in the application (messaging, email, gmail, etc) and change notification tones there.

This is how it's done.

thanks a lot guys..

i did notice this morning I heard her notification message was saying her new one.. however, i noticed that it was only when email was coming in, the text was still the whistle.. so I will go in and try to change as stated above and see how this goes.. again thanks.

this also helps as a friend and his wife still have the captivates and his wife had this same issue and it was "HIGHLY PISSING" her off :P so much she wants to get rid of it and get one of those ancient "phone" only type phones hehe

edit:

confirmed.. does work. for some odd reason, you go into text/sms app and when you go to settings, sure as s*!t it is set to default as the "whistle" ringtone and not default in which I would think it would default to what ever you set as the standard notification one.. going into gmail and it stocks to default.. so thanks again, working for her now..

Another 'gotcha' for ring tones if you point your ring tones at the internal SD/ external SD and then use usb storage mode to attach those drives, you'll get some sort of weird notification sound that's not any of the normal ones if a notification arrives while it's mounted.
