Can't Change Notification Sound in Samsung Text Message App - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

Have tried Samsung, Verizon, and Android text message apps. Can change notification sound in app BUT, no matter what it says in app, the default system notification plays. Changed system notification sound and now get it in message app but also (as expected) everywhere else. This was a slam dunk on my S9. What am I missing?

Additional info -
After posting first message, links to similar popped up. Followed to individual apps in notifications. Two problems. Can't find where I changed default system notification and, having used Zedge in a couple places, I now cannot get to anything but the Zedge app downloads or site. Can't get to any "default" sounds that came with phone.

Got the Zedge thing fixed - I had accidentally set Zedge as default.
BUT, the notification issue persists. It does not seem to matter whether I change notification sound directly in app or thru apps section of settings, I still get only whatever is set in the system notification area !! It SAYS in the app that I have changed the sound BUT it STILL goes to the default sound. Is this a bug in the S10 ??

Missing Market Updates - don't show

I've been using DROIDs since DROID 1, then X, and now Bionic.
I have the issue on my Bionic: I'll get a notification that an App has an update. When I select the app from my notification pane, it opens Android Market and takes me to the My Apps view. However, no apps display as needing updates. (Yes, I'm sure it's a notification to update an app and not the notification that an app has been updated (auto updates)).
I can go through all my downloaded apps and none of them show as "updateable." Sometimes it displays, that there are more than one (like 3) apps that have an update, but again, when I go to My Apps, I can't find any app that has an update - there is no update button only Open and Uninstall.
Has anyone else seen or heard of this issue?
Have you changed the LCD density at all? That gives me various problems. I always have to grab an older version of the market place to update.

I know what you're talking about. I've found when that happens, it's usually tied to a system app or a preinstalled app, such as Gmail, YouTube, or Zumocast.
Annoying.

I concur, I had the issue as well and updating the pre-installed crapware seemed to remedy the issue.
This has been happening to me as well, and it's not always system apps. Yesterday I had the notification in the morning, with no app showing up to be updated. However, I checked the market later last night, and Swiftkey X was showing up. (I had read that Swiftkey had an update earlier in the day, as I recalled when I saw that.)
It could be that the apps are sending notifications before they hit the market, or it could be that the market app has issues. I think it's the latter. I generally used to check the market for updates when I plug in the phone when going to bed at night, and I may start doing that again.
I hate the new market - since the last few updates (when it got its current new look, with books and movies) the market has been pretty crappy.
Same thing here. I get the notification, but there are no apps showing as having update available. If I go through the apps one by one I can usually find some with updates. I also have apps mysteriously disappear from time to time. I went to open Gentle Alarm last night and it wasnt there anymore, I re-downloaded it and it installed and all my settings were still there. Strange.
For some reason, it keeps changing from your default account to a secondary account. I have two Google accounts on my phone; one for personal and one for work. If you go into Market and then hit menu, accounts-you will notice it changed your default account. I haven't figured out why it does this-my OG never did.
Could it, in part, be due to applications that were set to auto-update?

This happened to me this morning, but changing the account showed me the applications that needed updating. If anyone knows why the account changes, I'd like to know!

Wallpapers and notification sounds keep changing

hey guys, so my brothers got a droid 3, and since he lives in wyoming and i'm in NJ, i can't diagnose it in person...
but he keeps having his background wallpapers changing by themselves all the time. he's using stock backgrounds, not SD card images, and they always just randomly change. he said it'll change between two gray type ones over and over. pretty anoying.
he also says his ringtones keep changing by themselves and constantly changes his ringer, notification sounds, and now his email notification makes a sound even though he had that off.
anyone have any idea whats wrong? it's stock phone, no root or anything...thanks!!
It's probably an app.
Ive had the ring tone issue before but never the wallpaper one. To fix the ringtone issue i just factory reset and reinstalled my apps via titanium backup. Hasnt reoccured since.
The ringtones: Thats because everytime you mount your usb cable and access the sdcard the link to the ringtones and notification tones gets lost. Putting these as a root user in system/media prevents them from getting lost.
try it.
what app would possibly change wallpapers? lol

[Q] Issue with recent apps screen

Hi,
I'm having a weird issue when I'm in the recent apps screen. I'm not sure why, but as you can see from the photos, there is an ugly message showing up saying: "couldn't load widget" that specifically only appears when the there are apps present in the recent apps menu. I've had the google search app disabled since I upgraded to 5.0.2, but the message keeps showing even if I re-enable it. Further more, a family member also has the z3 compact and I can see that the google search bar doesn't appear on his phone in the recent apps menu even if it is enabled, so in his case the rrecent app menu on his phone doesn't show any widget whatsoever, regardless of whether he has the google search app enabled or not.
I'm no phone expert so I thought the best place to go would be the XDA forums, so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out how to make this ugly text go away. The only thing that I tried to do, without any results, was to wipe the cache partition.
Thanks
It's just a guess, but I see some mini-widget icons I do not recognize from my phone. Perhaps it has something to do with those?

These are just some additional mini-apps that I have installed. I doubt they'd cause something like this though.
Anyone?

Are custom app notification sounds not a thing anymore for marshmallow?

On Lollipop, I created a folder and shoved all of my ringtones and text tones into it; which is what I sourced from when changing notification sounds. Since I upgraded to marshmallow, it appears defaults and whatnot changed. I didn't notice it at first since as far as my ringtone goes, the system was picking it up just fine and Textra is using one of my sounds--not the correct one, but I chalked that up to some stuff not being saved by smart switch when I backed up before the update--but other apps, like Voxer, are using default sounds when I had them all set up previously as not using default sounds.
"No big deal" I thought, since I could just go into various settings and direct them. However, the folder I created isn't showing up for anything other than for the ringtone; even trying to choose a system wide text/email tone from the settings app isn't picking it up the folder when there was no issue in the past. Am I missing something?
I'm using XtreStoLite if this happens to be a custom rom issue rather than settings being moved around in Marshmallow in general.
I have three folders: Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms. I can confirm that all of my apps can see and use those folders and I've got all of my apps using my customized ringtones.
I'm using the De-odexed stock ROM on mine.

Wierd. I guess it might be an issue with my backup being messed up. Thanks for letting me know that this isn't a 6.0 issue.
Ok, so I don't know what caused the issue, but updating to the latest version of the ROM and factory wiping cleared up the issue. However, I was adjusting the notification tones for my app, and instead of hitting my file manager, I hit "media storage" on accident. And now, not only am I prevented from having the option pop up in the app, I lack the option to choose in any app and all previously adjusted apps have had their notification sounds set to the system default.
Is there any way to reset this without wiping my phone and starting over again? I can't seem to find anything in system settings or app settings.
editisregard, I found the solution.

No sound text messages

Every text I get I have no notification sound also I can't even go into settings> notification just crashes and restarts. I'm on a custom rom but in odd too cause I've never had this issue before. Actually I don't even get sound notifications for certain apps like clash of clans it just vibrates.
