Help Ringtone randomly sets off and cant be stopped

Ever since the ICS update, i get a stock ringtone that just randomly goes off. Sometimes while I'm messing with phone, other times in middle of night while no one is touching it.

Only way to turn it off is by resetting device. I did a factory reset both before and after the update.
 
Ok it appears that when I receive 3 messages in Google Talk in quick succession, the ringtone starts. Will post what sound I use for Talk notification and what ringtone it is shortly.


*edit* Talk notification sound is "Don't Panic." Ringtone that gets set off is "Droid Invasion," the default ringtone. *edit*
 
Interesting. Yet another thing I did not know about Google Talk.

Thanks for the update. So many times a person posts a question, figures it out their self, and doesn't update the thread, so thanks for the follow up.
 
Havent yet figured it out. It happens when i receive more than 1 msg in a row fairly quickly in Talk. I changed both the notification and the ringtone and it still happens. I switched my ringtone to a sound that stops rather than going endlessly though, so I can live with it but still need to fix it.

Im using Lightflow for notifications, forgot to mention earlier. Have looked through it and cant find a setting thatd do this or in the phone's settings.
 
Fixed! For some reason, there are notification settings within Talk itself. It was set to default ringtone. I feel pretty dumb, but didnt expect those settings to be there for some reason. Oh well someone else hopefully can solve this problem in the future now
