Notifications

[illichai]

Hello all,

I recently downloaded a sound file onto my computer, and transferred it over to my phone to have it associated with notifications - all of that seemed to work successfully. However, now my phone will sometimes use the default notification sound despite being instructed to use the sound file, both (as a result of using sounds in Light Flow Lite), or nothing at all. How do I fix this so that the Yoshi sound I installed is the only notification sound that plays, and to ensure that it plays every time? I'm using Android 4.2.2 on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello and Welcome to the Forums we're glad your here.

There are occasions when the default notification will play like when your phone is hooked up to the computer. The only way I know to gaurantee the song you want as default every time is to use a rooted phone and place the song you want in the /system/media/audio/notifications folder. Again though this must be a rooted device. after putting it in there reboot the device and then choose it as the default again.

I had this issue also when I first started using light flow. I don't know if you are making a similar mistake as me, but this was my issue. For example:

I had the messaging app using Tone A as a notification and I had light flow using Tone A also. So, I would hear Tone A twice. Then I switched to messaging using Tone A and Light Flow using Tone B and I heard both.

The solution was that I had messaging set to "none" or silent" and I had Light Flow do all the alert tones.

(Or if you want to get really tricky...I have messaging alert me with Tone A and then only use "repeat sound" on light flow as a follow up.)

Thank you both! (and thank you, argedion, for the warm welcome). I will start by trying out gtbarry's advice, then proceed to possibly rooting my phone if that's necessary. As a matter of fact, might I bother you, argedion, for more information on rooting?

Have a look here: (Verizon) Galaxy Nexus - All Things Root - Android Forums
you should find what you need to know about rooting your phone.

I think light flow is an amazing app. If you like it and just need a little help feel free to ask. also, the app developer is a member of this forum. Andrew something. (Proudmoore?) I think.
