Incoming Text Message Sound Changes Spontaneously - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched all over for this, but cannot seem to find anyone else having this particular problem, so I am curious. Sorry if this does not apply to you.
Here we go:
First of all, has anyone else noticed that their incoming text message notification sound gets changed occasionally to the default WM one (not the SE one) without you doing anything to change it?
Second of all, if you answered yes to the above have you noticed any correlation between the sound changing and a wired headset getting plugged in?
I am curious because I have been having this problem and I think I might have found the trigger. This has happened on every ROM (R1,R2,R3,Itje's,valkery's) I have ever flashed, so I do not think that it is a ROM specific bug. I dont know how many people use the wired headset that came with the X1, but surely if this isnt a ROM specific bug I am not the only one having trouble with it.
Is anyone else having this problem?

The same thing was happening to me, I wasn't sure why it was doing that either. I guess it wasn't that big of a deal so I decided to keep the original default one. Kind of sucks that it does that. If anyone has a solution to the problem let me know!

the only time i notice this is when i remove my memory card. As i store my ringtones on there if i remove it and a text or call comes through the X1 will default to the standard one.
Once i have reinstalled the card i can select my tone again.
does this help?

glad to hear I am not the only one.
I can understand why it would do that with the memory card removed and the sound file no longer preent, but maybe that bit of information can help us find out the real issue.
I will do some digging, as I am pretty proficient with these things. Thanks for the input guys.

I noticed it used to do that on my old X1i... it wasn't that it would randomly change the sound, it was that suddenly the sound I was using would disappear! I had to re-copy the sounds back on to my phone every other week, and I had no idea why it kept disappearing

I noticed this problem on my X1 as well.
Not sure what triggered the change to default tone.

do you use a wired headset?

I've noticed the tone changing to the default "beep" when i receive a message whilst i am on a call. Then i have to manually change it back to the one i had before.

I have the same sometimes, and also my auto brightness and optical joystick settings are changed occasionally. dunno why, but it doesn't happen very often.

I had this happen the other week. I wasn't touching the phone other than having an sms conversation over the course of a few hours with the phone going into standby between sms's. All was going well with my normal sms tone and then suddenly it changed. I hadn't touched any other settings or added or removed anything. I don't know if it is related but a couple of days later, the sound went to half volume through my speaker until I rebooted.

I don't think taking out the memory card is the issue. I've had the tone saved in the phone memory so I don't think it would be affected if I eject the memory card. I'll have to test out the wireless/wired headset to see if that does anything once I get my phone back from repair. It was supposed to come in yesterday but didn't, hopefully today.

Never happened to me.
May happen due to changing the placement of the desired sms tone in the device's memory (changing the folder).

mine has just started doing this in the past week, weird....

This happens to me every time I start SKTools, it's weird.

Hi guys
it happens to me as well...

Hi
I get this too. My sound file is saved under windows folder on the device. Can not pinoint it to an act or happening on the phone which triggers it.

This has happened to me as well. I have noticed, everytime I turn the volume off, the ringtone changes.

I had the same problem..But..
I installed a trial version of panoramic phone genius and SPB MS3.01 and later replaced phone genius with SPB PHone Suite and S2U2.
Now this no longer happens. The sound would change especially after I reset the phone (turned off and then on). Now this no longer occurs. Hope this helps.

Reminder rings on previous reminders, not any more configured

Hello,
I have a problem with the reminder function. The phone reminds me on times which aren't configured but were in the past. I first thought thats a problem of phonealarm or pocketzenphone, but this time, both tool weren't installed and the problem appears again.
This occures on any ROM i installed, at the moment Faria's 3.3 V2, but also superrom 1.1 had those problems...
Does someone knows something regarding that problem? I don't know where the problem could be. But I know that I'm nerved because of the reminder rings at any times I ever configured...
You may need to provide some examples on your problem. Eg, when you set it and how long before it went off, etc
You may want to scan it using 'check notification' by 'scary bear'(?) .
Hm, it's not really reproducible. I have three reminders on, e.g. 06:00, 10:00 and 18:00 o'clock. And now it rings always additionally at 10:30. This time was configured sometime in past. But: I have configured also other many other reminders at other times, they don't ring. So, not all in the past edited reminders are popping up, but some.
I'm not sure what you mean with
"You may want to scan it using 'check notification' by 'scary bear'(?) ."
but I will have a look et the board, what it could mean
OK, I found the software, checking it currently... thanks!
I found on his page also the tool: Notification Clear Fix!
The description tells me there's a problem with old notifications... that's my problem...
OK, I found the notification 10:30 in that tool... and other too!
what does this mean now?!
there must be a problem with this app clock.exe. hmmmmm, strange, when does that happens and why...?!
If your phone get distrubed in some way (eg software hang, weird softreset) it will mess up the notification queue. That's the fix the messed up one. just make sure you don't hang your phone too much.

SMS notification problem (yes I've tried to search already)

Hello, hopefully someone can help with this problem. I have a Tilt, stock rom, nothing cooked. I have the HTC home, advanced config, and kaisertweak programs. I've searched for hours but I can't find a fix. My Tilt makes no noise or vibration for an incoming text message. The pop up doesn't come up either. The only thing it does is light up the screen and the icon changes on the home screen. All settings are set to work, start>settings>Sounds...., and advanced config sms delivery notification>enabled. Again, I have searched for a couple of hours and can't find a solution. I tried several cabs, wm6 sms fix (or something like that) and also the reg fix threadingdisabled and nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks
What are you running in terms of ROM and radio? Could be a radio problem.
Everything is stock. I haven't changed any ROM or radios.
I've got the same problem as you. It's only ever with incoming texts, everything else works fine. Many a time I've thought that I'd figured out the source of the problem but it just keeps coming back.
i've also discovered today that with mms messages the alert works just fine, it's only sms causing a problem. i'm going to keep trying, if all else fails there is always a hard reset.
Looks like a hard reset has fixed it.
Sounds like you had the same problem as me, which is the SMSAvailable key in the registry was set to 0.. No idea why this should be if you havent done anything to your phone. If it happens again load up a reg editor and search for that key and make sure its set to 1
I recently had this problem and my key is set to 1. After like 5 or 6 messages the sound will just stop working for SMS. I'm on CUSTEL 2.1 and never had any issues. This just popped up the other day.
I have no software that manages ringtones or anything like that.

Kaiser ringer randomly swithces to vibrate! HELP!

This is my first time using this site and it's great! I'm sorry for any stupid questions I ask that may have been answered somewhere else already. I have the ATT Tilt/HTC Kaiser 8925 and love it...recently the ringer randomly switches to vibrate. It does it sometimes when I'm using the calendar/appointments and sometimes when I haven't even touched it. I've seen tons of posts on HTC Home versions that affect it but I found (then lost) a thread that said something about about a Registry Edit you could to to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated or any other thoughts that may help fix this. I keep missing calls and it's driving me crazy!! Thanks so much!
i haven't searched yet, but mine will switch to any level, i keep it on vibrate while at work(Kohl's) and today it switched to loud while in my pocket and i didn't realize it till my VC started to read an extremely long text in front of my boss. fortunately he thought it was the coolest thing ever but he said it will never happen again or i'm fired(ass hole) but yeah i will post what i find when i search later

Thanks so much for your help! Yeah, this is driving me crazy..pretty much every time I'm using the calendar/appointment fucntion, it switches automoatically to vibrate from ring and vibrate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!!
Are you using a stock ROM?
Unless people have had the exact same problem, it's going to be hard to help you without more info on what software is on your device.
If it does happen to be a random occurrence, a hard reset usually fixes it.
i have a similar problem with my tilt
i have noticed this hapening on my tilt which is running duttys latest rom. its only been happening in the last fed weeks.
ive also noticed that sometimes the phone will ring for a couple of seconds then go into vibrate mode as well.
i found my problem to be the settings in spb phone suite. if you have any profiles set etc if you change the system settings spb phone suite will automatically change them back after like 10-20 minutes. hope this is a help to some people. but i was about to go crazy till i sat and stared long and hard at my phone and realized what could also be the problem. i no longer have the issue!
i think this happens when your profile is set to automatic... it takes your status from your calender (if you have set it to busy in some meeting) it will switch to vibrate and if there is nothing for you in the calender it switches to the normal mode.....
I had the problem, then I flashed to L26 v6 and no more problems.

*Dumb question, but how and where do you SET your PROFILE? There's tons of options on the phone, but I don't know of anywhere to change something that says profile from automatic to something else? Any info. on that would be great and I'll try your solution. I'd rather not do a hard reset if I can help it. Thanks!
Having the same issue. Saw this post:

Looks like this might be due to HTC Home. It appears there is an update / fix:

no sound when receiving a message

I really love the phone except i`ve got the same problem as i did with the Diamond 1. When I receive a message the sound doesn`t go and it doesn`t vibrate but the green LED does flash. The second I turn on the screen using the standby-key it vibrates AND I can hear the ringtone. It drives me crazy. I didn`t have this problem the first couple of days I had the phone. I haven`t installed anything on the phone yet. Are there more people that have this problem?
Maybe it's a problem with other software? Does this happen directly after a hard reset? Mine plays a sound upon receiving a message...
have the same problem. but do not know if this started when i changed the melody for the message to one that is on the memory card.
have not tried hard reset yet to see f it helps
Do not store ringtones on the memory card, when the phone goes into standby it turns off the SD card interface to save power. The same goes for any programs that you want to keep running in the background when the phone goes into standby.
i face the same problem.... likely is the ROM problem..
not only that bluetooth also have some problem...
Are you using any call blocking / filtering software? Just a thought as I had the same issue after installing Magicall.
The device is as clean as a whistle
I haven`t installed any 3rd party software of any kind. I believe it is a flaw in the software. Perhaps this will be fixed a the next rom-update.
I also have this problem now. Yesterday I got an important SMS, but did know about it until 30 min later when I clicked the standby-key. The wierd thing is that this does not happen all the time. Usually I get notified within a few minutes of a new message. I do not have my sound files on the storage card. Any ideas how to solve this?
I get this problem too, and its rather annoying.. you could try setting the phone to wake on SMS, however, depending on your lock settings, it will probably wake up unlocked even if it was locked. I like my phone to be locked at all times unless I unlock manually or I get a call ONLY.
The reg key is
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent=0
Craig
Edit: if you go into Sound -> Notifications -> Messenging: New Text Message and ensure "Display Message On Screen" is unticked, it stays locked when a msg is received
i have this problem but with a hardreset solve my problem
Im having the same problem, ive got all the alert tones saved in the phone memory and have tried a hard reset too.
The reset improved things but still getting some messages being received without the alert sound being played, im assuming its a fault as several people are having the same trouble.
I got exactly the same
It seems that the problem only occures when you're not in the home screen. When i'm in the front (home) screen the sound works fine. But if i'm in the contact look (personalized look) its silent.
Can someone confirm this?
The same problem also with vibration....
It must be a softwareflaw, i can`t wait till HTC gives the first rom update...
Does somebody know how long it took before the first rom for the diamond 1 came available after its release?
I've only used Radio 3.44.25.27 from the new HTC Asia ROM for a day so I can't be sure, but the random problem of no audio/vibration alert that I used to face with Radio 3.43.25.19 seems to have gone away.
Having the same problem except mine plays the tone but doesnt vibrate!!!
Any news about this topic?
I had this problem also until I enabled SMS wakeup as per craiglay's post
These things should be fixed by HTC if u ask me. Workaround is great but I;ll wait till a hotfix is released

Won't stop reverting back to stupid AT&T ringtone...

I'm sure everyone hates the stupid AT&T ringtone, and if you don't you should. About once a day my phone reverts back to that abomination of a ringtone, after I have changed it to a different ringtone--one that doesn't make me want to pile drive my phone into the concrete.
It's as if it wants to spite me because I can find no apparent reason why it's doing this.. I've tried a couple of things: 1) restarting the phone and having someone call me when it starts back up (this ended up not being the cause) 2) letting it lay around for hours and then checking, which sometimes ends with relief that it hasn't chosen that satan-conjuring jingle, but sometimes not..
Anyone have any idea what in the blazes is going on?
I've noticed it happening to mine on occasion, too, for no apparent reason.
Are you using a different stock ringtone? Or one from your sd card? If you remove you're sd card for something or connect via PC, it can happen. It could also happen if you use an app that accesses your sound. For instance, it was happening to me when I used handcent messenger. It's a great app, but once I uninstalled, it stopped happening.

I was using the one called "Modular Light"--pretty sweet one... I'm not sure of any app I'm using that needs to access my sound settings.. What I'm trying now is a custom sound set that I created by going into the personalization menu.. so far today I've received 3-4 calls and it hasn't chosen enrage me with that smut.. we shall see...
Looks like you found a solution.
Mine gets reset back to the default "AT&T ringtone" sometimes, after reboots or connecting to PC via USB port -- very irritating.
Is there a way to disable the default "AT&T ringtone" using a temp root?
