Oreo messed up my phone?!

Hi all,

Since the Oreo update for my htc 10 (Europe) some stuff has happened to my phone.

So before the update I had a different notification for different apps, now that seems pretty impossible..
I had a different notification sound for Whatsapp and a different one for messages but now I can somehow only choose the default sound ... ?!
Same for the Gmail app (and others), I can only choose the default sound notification.
I already deleted and reinstalled the apps so that didn't help!
Also when I had a notification pop for the low battery it had this sound;


now it's also gone and I can't seem to find it anywhere.. ?!

I know I'm nitpicking here but it would be nice to have everything back to order as it was!
Could someone help me with these issues, I'm kinda lost!
 
Full OS upgrades have been known to cause these problems but the Play Store is there to let you get exactly the experience you desire. Start with a third-party launcher.
HTH
 
I swear I'm going to switch my sim card back to my US Unlocked HTC 10 someone this week and experience what it's really like. Just got to find one of those sim remover thingies I'm always misplacing.
 
But some of these problems are not intrinsic to Oreo. For example I'm running Oreo (on a different device) and have no problem changing WhatsApp notification tone (one of the specific problems). It's conceivable that the HTC 10 update has a broken sound picker, but it's also possible that it's some incompatibility between data from the old OS version and the new system (which can happen with major updates).

I hate to suggest this, because I know it's a pain, but have you tried backing up and resetting? Or maybe just clear data for one of the affected apps (after backing up) and see whether that fixes it.
 
Sorry for the REALLY late respone!

I did reset my phone.. good and bad news!

It did fix my problem for messaging and whatsapp, but now somehow my gmail app doesn't want to select an other notification sound.

What to do next ? :thinking:
