Notification sounds not correct

I thought I posted this earlier this week, but it's nowhere to be found, so here it goes again. I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7, but this problem started with my iPhone 4S and has continued. All of my notifications play the correct sound, except for Facebook and Twitter. When I receive a Facebook notification, no sound at all plays (except for when I receive a Facebook message). This started after I did an iOS update (not a major one) on my 4S. I have the sound for Twitter notifications set to "Tweet," but it plays the "Tri-Tone" sound instead -- which was also the case on my old iPhone. I have gone in and changed the settings to a bunch of different tones, then back to the ones I want, but to no avail. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hey, were you able to come up with ANY info on this problem?
i have had this problem since i got my iphone5 in february/2013, and its continued onto my new iPhone5S.
The best i could come up with, through research and first-hand experience is that the "Facebook" and "twitter" tone options DO work, but only when it is an OUTGOING action YOU PERFORMED (ie a tweet that YOU posted, or a facebook post that YOU posted)
and since newer iphones have facebook and twitter integration, The facebook and Twitter tones also work for facebook Chat/messages that you receive, and twitter direct/instant messages that you receive.
As for the other types of notifications that you get from facebook and twitter (ie. Wall posts,being tagged in photos, twitter mentions/@replies, or notifications from people you are following{if turned on})
:::these notifications seem to fall into the same category of MOST notifications from ANY App that you download from the app store.
It seems thats MOST apps do not have a specific notification sound programmed, and ANY notifications that you have selected to receive are carried out with a "default" Apple Notification tone (which appears to be the classic Tri-Tone).
I have arrived at this conclusion because in the Settings->Sounds menu, only Device Functions are listed and thus able to have their Tone Changed.
ALSO; in Settings->Notification Center, You will notice that when you click on the various 'apps' listed:
*****'Stock' Apps (Messages, Phone, Facetime, Reminders, Calender etc.) have sub-options to change the name of the 'Sound' 's Tone (which appears there)
*****while ALL OTHER Downloaded apps only have a sub-option slider/knob to turn the 'Sound' either 'ON' or 'OFF'
Since there is no option to select a 'Tone' then it is safe to assume that the activated 'Sound' is the Device's default tone.
THEREFORE...if there is no options -WITHIN THE APPLICATION ITSELF- to change the Sound or Tone of their Notifications...the question/objective Now seems to be: How can we change our Device's default Notification Sound?

I've had exactly the same problem! Also the silent button on the side isnt working either. Calls seem to be ok, but emails sms facebook, none of those sounds work. Have you found a solution?
No I haven't. The difference is that my silent button is working and even sound when receving and email or an sms's. My issue is the sound of the notification of the applications. For example facebook, F1Live24 ..

Email notification sound not playing

I have 2 email accounts synced to my phone. One hotmail and one from my offices exchange server. I only get notification sounds from the hotmail account and not the other. I need the notification to play for the outlook exchange account. I have notifications turned on and a sound selected. Why is it only playing for the hotmail account and not on the outlook exchange account? How can I fix this?

Leave the one you have setup for your hotmail account alone since that one is already working for you. Go through the steps listed below for your outlook exchange account and see if these steps will work for you.
1.From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located in the lower-left).
2.Touch Mail.
3.Touch Menu.
4.Touch More.
5.Touch Settings.
6.Touch Notification Settings.
7.Touch Email notifications.
Email notifications are enabled if a green check mark is present.
8.
Touch the desired notification.
Notifications are enabled if a green check mark is present.

Q10 Notifications do not correctly follow timezone

Hi, I'm on model SQN100-3 version 10.1.0.273 on Exchange infrastructure with no BES. When I travel between timezones, the notifications get all messed up. For example, if I create a calendar entry for 1pm EDT while in EDT it creates it in the calendar fine. If I stay in EDT, the notifications happens appropriately. If I travel to MDT after creating the calendar entry but before the notification time, when I get to the new timezone, the Q10 adjust to the new timezone and all calendar entries reflect the appropriate times (as they should). Unfortunately my notification comes two hours late. It seems the notification system is not correctly managing the timezone changes. The opposite is true. If I create a calendar entry while in MDT and then travel to EDT, the calendar adjusts, but the notification comes 2 hours early.
I travel every week and notifications are consistently wrong. This week I will try manually setting the timezone instead of using the automatic timezone setting to see if the symptoms persist. I expect they will.

Hi adventureboy,
Sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue with your Calendar notifications.
If you create the appointment using your local device Calendar (as apposed to your Exchange one) does the same notification issue occur?
When you are creating the Calendar appointment, are you manually changing the Time Zone to reflect the time or using the device Time Zone to create the appointment?
Thanks!

Mail notification sound not working on iphone

My email notification sound doesn't work until I open the mail app. THEN I get the sound. Using iPhone 5s - iOS7, of course. Any ideas?

Settings>Mail>Fetch New Data>Select mail account you would like>Select Fetch
View Fetch schedule at the bottom of the previous page, select time (longer time preserve battery and use less data).

Smooth radio sound not correct

Anyone else have this the sound on smooth radio stuttering, the sound is fine on all other channels.

Hi Daniel,
Is this still a problem? Sounds like the speed of your connection is causing this. Did you try and run a speed test?

Email notification sound not working

I own a iPad2 wifi. I have added my yahoo mail business account to my iPad. The current Sounds settings in my iPad is Ringer and Alerts ----> ON; Ringtone ----> Alarm; New Mail -----> ON and other settings such as Sent Mail, Calendar Alerts are in OFF mode. But I don't hear any sound alert when ever I receive an email. Do I need to need anything more to hear the sound. Appreciate your help.

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Notification Sounds Being Delayed

Since I've installed Mountain Lion I've been having a problem with my notification sounds not coming through. For some unknown reason my notification sounds will stop working. Like reminders and emails. Even the sound when an emal is being sent from the Apple mail app (the swooshing sound). But then when I plug in my external speakers through the headphone jack ALL the notifactions sounds and sent emails sounds come through the speakers. It's like all the sounds get buffered and are waiting for me to connect my external. Has anybody had this issue? It's done it on both versions of Mountain Lion.

I have this as well, it's very weird. I updated to 10.8.1, rebooted, repaired permissions, and it is still occurring.

I face alot of problem with all version of ios that suck
if your product like that agian there will be no ios user it only android user
IF you only hear vibrate, then turn the switch up to ringer using the side control. You probably have it on silent or vibrate.
If you're using a case remove the case and make the swtich.

Google Voice txting not making a notification sound while talking on the phone

Does anyone else have the problem when you recieve a new txt message on google voice, you don't get any kind of notification sound while talking on the phone? The only way I ever get notified is if I turn the screen back on and see the google voice widget new txt message. I have tried different things to no avail. On my old nonsmart phone, I had regular txting and it always notified me with a beep every few minutes until I checked the txt message. Is there a way to do that at all with the charge and google voice? Thanks.

It's on 4G LTE I am getting all of the txt messages, except I am not recieving any sound notification when I am on a call. Do any of the verizon employees or techs have any suggestions? Everything is all set up correctly, and it notifies me with a sound just fine as long as I am not on a call.

No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

SMS Notifications Do Not Work (no sound, just short vibration)

My notification settings for SMS and MMS messages appear to be ignored. I have them set as an audio tone, I have the volume all the way up and I have the vibration set to 'long'. When I get an SMS message, why do I only get a *very* short vibrate and no audio?
I have done this:
1) Open Messaging
2) Touch Menu --> Settings
3) Scroll down to Notification settings
4) Ensure "Notifications" is checked
5) Selected a sound in "Select ringtone" (I selected chirps)
6) Ensure "Vibrate" is checked (description says "Also vibrate when notified")
7) "Message alert repetition" is set to "Every 2 minutes"
8) Ensure "Preview message" is unchecked
I never hear chirps, I never get repeat message alerts, I only get a very brief vibration.

That's odd skywayman! Let's work together to resolve this notification issue.
Have you installed any type of 3rd party messaging or ringtone applications? Let's test the SMS notification sounds while your device is powered up in Safe Mode http://vz.to/1aTnew1. If the notification works correctly while in safe mode, then we know that an application is blocking the notification sound. If you can pinpoint the problem application, just uninstall http://vz.to/19qgKl4 and retest. If you cannot pinpoint the application, I would simply hard reset http://vz.to/177eLkN the device to start it afresh. Keep me posted with your results.
