Keep losing text message sounds

have played with every settings, last night I had it working again for aobut 10 text and now no sounds again.

only big changes I did was pay for the link2sd license pgrade key.

I am rooted but Im rooted with the stock rom.
 
Did you make a backup of your stock ROM with a custom recovery?
Have you tried Volume Ace (it needs to stay on the internal storage)?
 
I backed it all up on root, played with setting more last night, same as night before, and it making noise again.

starting to think the "sound" I keep trying to use text tone 2, which I have always used, that file is messing up. It plays when you chose a tone for text but it will not play when you get a txt. but other ones seem work but my brain is trained for a said sound, ill wake up then or soon after if I hear it awake or not.
 
What do you mean by: "Backed it all up on root"?
Making a nandroid backup of Stock ROM in a custom recovery is the only way that will work. The backup is stored on the SD card in the clockworkmod folder.
This folder is what I copy to computer, just in case.
If you have something that starts messing up, all you need to do is go to custom recovery then wipe and format everything but the SD card and restore nandroid backup.
 
Try Volume Ace, but you will probably have to restore your backup.
You can also install the picasticks overclocking kernel to help smooth things out, or just install the resurrected bumblebee (Froyo ROM) or the MiRaGe (Gingerbread ROM).
Save your stock ROMs backup though.
 
making triple copies of everything now, syncin data, contacts n such....

gotta reread and re familarize myself with how ya do it all.

I member once I did it, wow was that easy.

but done forgot so its scary again ;)
 
bought Volume Ace, loaded and it showed my notification was set on vibrate, yet I got that turned off all over the place.

maybe a setting got stuck some how, will test more, good thiking though.......
 
If you have to restore your nandroid backup:
Go to custom recovery. Select all wipe options in main menu.
Go to advanced section and wipe dalvik cache. When done hit back button and then select the mounts and storage section.
If a partition show "select to unmount" do so (you can't format a mounted partition).
Now format everything but the SD card ( if you partitioned the SD card, select to format the SD ext).
Now go to the backup and restore section. Select the restore option. Select the nandroid backup you made. Go make something to eat (will take 7-10 minutes to restore).
When it's done, select the reboot system now option. Wait 5-10 minutes for first bootup.

Note: Before starting make sure you have a nandroid backup on the SD card in the clockworkmod folder. The nandroid backup folder should have a funky date/time number.
 
kinda oops but maybe not, I grabbed the backup I did just after rooting it. So I didn't go all the way back to stock.
 
If you didn't make any changes other than rooting it before making the backup then, that's just what you need.
If still having problems let me know, I'll walk you thru how to flash/install either the Resurrected Bumblebee (best Froyo ROM, also already overclocked to the best CPU settings), or the MiRaGe (best Gingerbread and best ROM developed for the V so far).
 
Fingers crossed, dunno if I need to OC, maybe under clock, all its used for is checking email and texting anymore.

but did change a few things up, I did have 5 email account all with ringtones set up for when mail arrives. Making my phone make noise often. Might have pissed it off over time.

But wont know if its working right for a bit. [ gotta let text come naturally n see if it stops making noise]
 
The best battery off charge times are with a CPU setting of 480MHz min and 768MHz max.
Stock ROM-stock kernel can only go to 600MHz max.
 
Ill take those detailed for dummies Bumblebee directoin now, sound is gone again.

only big changes or update was link2sd plus and titanium back up update march 5th
 
Another slight delay.
Personally, I think you will greatly benefit from installing the MiRaGe ROM and the 20110828 Gapps (Google applications). Link2SD works the best with this ROM.
Question: How big is your SD card, and the partition? Also what is the partition format (ie fat32, ext.4 etc.)?

Edit: Time is 12:17 AM in Florida.
I really need the SD card info so I can make sure you have the right size partition for the size of the SD card, and the right format for the partition according to the ROM you plan on installing.
For a better understanding of my concerns read the 1st and 2nd post here: http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?p=5605457
 
gonna give go sms a try for a test, and use a wav file on SD, sort bypass all the system stuff.
 
Your partition is too big for your SD card.
I have a 16GB SD card and Link2SD works fine with just a 1GB partition. I have over 85 apps linked.
20% of 8GB is still only 1.6 GB.
Too big of a partition means corruption of SD card is just around the corner.
If you flash the Resurrected BumbleBee the partition needs to be formatted to FAT32, which is where you should already be.

no way see link2sd 2nd partition on the pc to back up, not even in the phone does it show up, how do you back it up?
 
Install a Linux OS.
You can split your hard drive partition, Windows on one half and Linux on the other.
You can put Puppy Linux on a Flash drive or micro SD card as well. That way you don't have to do anything to the hard drive. The best Puppy is LazY Puppy.
 
That wasn't fun, SD holder/adapter kept making the mini SD write protected, when it was not locked. Had to find another to get it done.

Had a live CD for ubuntu 8.04 laying around.

down to 1 gb for llink2sd, still testing go sms, have not lost sound yet though.
 
That's a really old version of Ubuntu. Puppy allows you to see and save info. It allows you to create a save file. The save file can't be any bigger than the amount of RAM you have.
You need to check out LazY Puppy. The best Puppy out there. All run from a flash drive or SD card.

Note: Try putting a spot of superglue on the tab/adapter to keep it from sliding back when inserting it into computer.
 
my main PC is still window 2000 pro, using opera 6.01 right now. Though FF is needed for some sites. does everything I need.
