Anyone use textra? I have noticed I cannot get it to be silent. I have my phone in priority notification mode and messaging isn't set as a priority but Textra still plays the sound. The only way I can silence it is if I go into the app and choose silent as the ring tone which isn't ideal. Is this happening to others?
I still haven't found a texting app that honors priority mode completely... They all seem to make noise if I am reading a text from someone and then get another message from that same person.
That's bother me too.
I've just received an SMS notification during a work meeting at full volume although my phone was set to DND mode.
(BTW you shouldn't have posted in a Nexus 6 section since it's a more global issue (Textra on Android 5 and greater)
**EDIT**
According to Textra changelog it's supposed to be fixed since version 2.25:
"We now honor Lollipop NONE | PRIORITY | ALL notification settings"

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me.
Textra uses its own database setup so it can over ride the default notification settings. Only way I found was to change the app settings.

I get a double notification sound every time i get a text message. The first sound is the one i chose in handcent. The second sound occures 1 second after the first, and its the default notification sound("look at me").
Ive tried unchecking everything in the default messaging app. Ive tried going into settings>sound& display> notification ringtone> silent. Restarting phone after setting these things. And still no fix. I still get the double notification sounds. The 1st i want. The second default sound doesnt go away.
Before I made this thread i did research around the web about this and tried every suggestion. I still have the problem.
Any other suggestions?
also: my phone is not rooted
Wow. Never heard of that... I really don't know what to say.
Root.
Go to messaging app, settings, then just UNCHECK notifications. That should be it. I've had tons of Android phones and use all kinds of 3rd party SMS app, and have no issues.
Make sure you don't have some other SMS app or message notification app also running giving notifications. (missed call, sms popup, chompsms, trackball alert, sms count widget, etc..)

Yeah "nothing" is checked in the default messaging app.
I tried to install chomp to see if it was handcent and it did it with chomp too.
Edit: I found the issue!
Thanks for suggesting about looking for any app that had anything to do with messaging or ringer tones. It was a rarely used app i have called "ringo pro"
I changed the appropriate settings and now everything is fine.
Thank you
I hope this is ok to ask here.... Is there an app or feature that can make the phone light up or make a noise if I have a voice mail? I've looked and so far nada. I don't always just pick up my phone and am hoping I can find something to prompt me too.

There is also an app on the Market called Missed Call that I could never really get to work right. You can set it up to provide a notification for a missed call or SMS using sound and/or vibration at a preset frequency (every minute, etc.).
The one I have used is NoLED, also on the Market. It puts a lighted icon on your dark screen indicating that you have an SMS or a missed call. Not quite the same as a voicemail notification, but hey you can't have a voicemail unless you missed a call.
EDIT: NoLED now includes a voicemail notification icon. Not sure if i just missed it or if it's a new feature; the app just updated recently.
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.
Okay, so since I'm having a few kind of big issues, I thought I'd start a list. If anyone has any solutions, please speak up! Yes, I'm rooted, but that's it. I'm running the stock ROM, and these issues existed before I rooted.
1) Silence mode doesn't work. I can get it to go to vibrate mode only by using the hardware keys; setting it in Settings or through a toggle doesn't work, despite the icons showing in the status bar. When on Silent, the phone still vibrates (and sometimes makes sounds still). This is a pain at night, however, since I've gotten Vibrate to work consistently using the volume keys, I put "Do Not Disturb Me" on my phone for night, and that properly silences the phone. The bonus there is I can schedule DND times.
2) I can't save incoming pictures from MMS. In Messaging, I'm not even given the option to, but I use Chat Heads anyway through FB Messenger. When I open an image there, I'm given the option to save it, but I get an error every time that it can't be saved. It's kind of frustrating.
3) Google Photos Sync doesn't work. It's checked in my sync settings, but unlike every other Android device I've owned, online albums don't show in Gallery.
Okay, the picture saving issue is related to Facebook Messenger. I'm seeing the same issue on my LG Optimius G. However, it doesn't look like you can save pictures using the stock Messaging app anyway, so I installed Go SMS Pro to open MMS messages if I need to save photos. I had to turn off it handling SMS and suppressing other apps' notifications, but now I have a workable solution to that until Facebook updates Messenger.
For the record, I've heard from an app developer that there is a firmware issue with many HTC devices that prevents them from switching volume states correctly when the device is playing audio streams like music or podcasts. In my case, this prevents Locale from silencing my phone when I get to work because I'm always listening to podcasts in the morning when I arrive, so the state transition fails, and I have to manually change it after stopping my podcast.

Hmm, I could see that, but it fails even if I'm not doing anything with the phone.
After the OTA, I'm still having the silence bug when using a toggle or WidgetLocker, but I can successfully get it to truly silence using the volume keys. I'll take that, especially since I don't think that's a bug everyone's experiencing anyway. Still not getting online albums in Gallery.
-Can't share files via bluetooth, theoption simply isn't available in the share menu
-All received messages play as slideshows, and not in full screen when clicked on
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't get any sound or vibration on SMS receive. I do get a notification icon at the top of the screen, but it's all silent. I'm using Chomp SMS and had a play and tried the following:
Switching to the stock SMS app has no effect.
Checked media volume and it's fully turned up.
Turned any battery optimisations off
Checked DND and it's turned off.
I'm on weekly xiami.eu 9.5.16 but had the same problem on 9.4.1.
Any suggestions gratefully received....
Cheers
Just a bit more on this. Whatsapp works fine and I just tried a notification maker app here:

Vibration works, but no sound so I guess it's a wider issue.
Duh answered my own question. For Chomp SMS you go into:
Settings/Manage Apps/Chomp SMS/Notifications/Allow Sound
I wonder how it got turned off lol.
Cheers

Hello
I have no sound on notifications from Messenger Signal. The tone is standard, which cannot be changed either. Ask for an apology for my bad English (Google). Who has problems with signal. Thank you in advance.
