[Q] no phone ringer using Phoenix Rising 4.1

My husband updated my AT&T Galaxy S to Phoenix Rising 4.1. It has worked great for a week now that he is out of country my ringer for the telephone doesn't work. It notifies me for texts, email and voice mail but not when the phone rings. He has to text me to tell me he is going to call. I have gone through every setting that I can think of. I'm thinking I must be missing one???

Check these settings : SILENT MODE: (make sure its un-checked), VOLUME: (make sure incoming call volume is up) and PHONE RINGTONES: (make sure you have a ringtone selected and not set to silent) To get there press MENU >SETTINGS >SOUND. If you have any music stored on your phone you can use "Music Mod" (free app on android market) to set songs as ringtones. Its easy to overlook some of these settings sometimes. Some of the things that has vexed me the most have been right under my nose. I hope some of this helps, if not, you may have to re-flash your ROM. (piece of cake) Good luck.

Get handcent sms from market

all i can find is handcent language packs, but anyway, why do i need an app for my phone to vibrate

The app is an alternative for the stock messaging app and it has its own vibrate settings.
The app's full name is "Handcent SMS"

This was also driving me nuts. Until just now since I finally figured it out. You just need to open up the messaging app itself, hit the menu button, and click on messages settings. Make sure the vibrate option is clicked and voila, we have vibrate.
This is different from the notification vibrate in the regular settings menu.

Just as Duffey1 said its a separate setting in the app itself. If you want more control such as the vibrate pattern then you will have to install another app from the market or rom such as liberty3 that has this built into the SMS app.

i think my problem was different, because i did check the settings in the messaging app itself also the one in sound settings and even though it was enabled , it still wasn't working, i did end up fixing it though, i downloaded an app called sound manager and enable vibration in there and now even after uninstalling sound manager, my sms vibration still works
i actually had this happen to me twice, both times when switching ROMs, and both times sound manager fixed the problem

Email Notification Sound

okay this maybe a dumb question but its sure is annoying. Whenever i get an email the phone led light start to blink and the Email Notification Sound play like it should, but after 10 minutes it plays again and again. Like if i don't touch the phone it will ding every 10 minutes.
Its not an event reminder or alarm as email sounds are very different then anything else and only happens when i don't touch my phone. Like i got an email late last night and it kept dinging all night long until i unlocked the phone and cleared the notification.
Its super annoying, It just play the email notification sound and then let the led blink for 10 minutes but not play notification sound sound every 10 minutes.
Does anyone know how to stop this?

Open you HTC mail client (app drawer and select Mail), hit the menu button > More > Settings (then select your email account) > Notification settings
Now you can uncheck Notification sound

Will it still ding when i first receive the email, I want the sound to play the first time but not every 10 minutes.

Unfortunately, this will take out the sound altogether.

yeah thats what i thought, you guys don't find this weird about the phone?

not sure about the native HTC email program.. but here's how to achieved what you're after using GMAIL appz
/ open up Gmail
/ menu button
/ More-->>Settings-->> Account Settings-->> [email protected]
/ Scroll down to "Labels to notify"
/ select "inbox" then a pop up notification settings box will appear
/ There is an option at the bottom for "notify once"
That will do it
when a new email arrived... you'll get a notification... you get to choose to have SOUNDS/VIBRATE...etc
and subsequence mail arrival won't have any more sounds

Just curious what ROM you're running that's giving you this issue?

I sent an e-mail to my G-Mail account. When it came it, I left it alone to see what would happen. As described in another post, the alert sound occurred only one time. The LED flashed for a while but eventually stopped. I confirmed that the G-Mails allowed a once only notification.
I have had situations occur, but not always, where I will get alerts from both G-Mail and the native HTC e-mail app. However, it did not occur this time. So, I can't say for now what the native e-mail account will do.

I'm running stock ROM and have not had consistent email notifications. I have it set to sound every time I receive an email. But I may hear it only once for several emails and then once for every email received. I may also get a sound for emails that I don't seem to have received.
Just one of those things.

I'm running stock rom and using the native htc email app

Not to mention, it gets frustrating after habitually only reading the SMS from the lockscreen notification.

Any way to change the email notification sound?

Changing it is specific to the application you are using. Check the settings for the application in question. I'm using the Gmail app. The settings for each account has an area for changing the sound and frequency.

Was this issue solved?
I have the same problem with my HTC One S...

For a regular (non-gmail) account (which uses the stock Mail app), I could not find where to set it's specific notification sound... BUT, everything else has its own notification sound setting (GMail, WhatsApp, Text Messaging), so I just go into phone Settings, Sound, and pick a notification sound there (which will play when I get an email in my regular mail). All the other apps have their own sounds assigned, so I guess technically, my Mail has its own sound.

It is under personalize click the sound tab email is there

SNAP. That is so simple. I suck. LOL

Also under the mail app you need to go under settings notification and check the box that says play sounds too

No push notifications from texts

Hey, my wife has the xperia tl, completely stock, and upgraded to latest update. Recently, the push notifications for text messages have stopped, so she doesn't know that she has any texts unless she opens the stock texting app (she doesn't use non-stock texting app). All the settings in the texting app are correct, and I've spent some time on Google, but can't find anything. So, asking for help on this.

I am not sure if I understand you correctly with "push notifications". But if your wife's phone has Extended Standby function enabled, reminder notifications are actually not working.
You may consider giving Smart Notify a try (Google Play).

No status bar notification, no indication at all that a new text has come. Facebook and email notifications work fine.
Extended standby is not enabled. Smart Notify, even with correct settings, does not alleviate the problem. Other ideas?

If you place a Contacts Direct Message shortcut on your screen, does it show the no. 1 when a message has been received from this contact?
I am a noob, so don't expect anything from my input, just ideas regarding things I'd try.

was having a texting issue myself latley with a TL. Did a master reset and everything is working perfectly again. just make sure to back everything up

[Q] Notification issues

Note 4 rooted, with newest update as well, running Nova. Using the default SMS Messaging app
4 issues I have been having.
1.) When I get SMS, the notifications in the dropdown won't go away.. even when I am in that person's SMS chat.. I have to swipe it away. This happens randomly.
2.) When I am chatting with someone on SMS and in the dialog screen, the phone does not vibrate or have a sound alert that lets me know they replied. I have put down the phone a few times not realizing that a reply had been sent, but my eyes were not on the screen to be alerted to it. If the screen is off or in another app, then I get sound and vibrate alerts.
3.) When I get a few new SMS backlogged, instead of showing me the names of my contacts texting me, it shows me their phone # and messages in the dropdown.
4.) This is random.. I got a call from my gf this afternoon, and before it pulled up my contact info for her (from my gmail contacts list), it pulled up her full name like a caller ID from back in the day.. Her full name is not in my gmail and her linked email is a hotmail address(but that doesnt have her full name either). Why did this happen and how can I have it for other people that arent contacts in my phone book?
The first 3 items are probably bugs in the Messaging app.. I think I remember #4 being offered by T-Mobile as a paid extra.. but I am definitely not paying for it.

I'm just having issues getting Gmail notifications to come through. Even when enabling notification through label settings.

#4 is probably the Tmobile NameID app. if i recall, there was a notification on my phone after the first bootup about a free trial or something. it displays caller ID for all numbers, supposedly, even for "unknowns" and such. since i disabled all the tmobile bloat ive not seen it come up. if you turn off the program in application manager it should stop working.
