Twitter notification sound?

[xArgieboy]

Hey guys. I recently got my first ever Android phone some days ago. I set up a new launcher, all the settings and everything is fine. Except for Twitter. I went into Twitter > settings > my account > notification sound and selected the one I want, but every time I get notified, the "default notification" of the phone comes up that I set (basically the one for texts I think it is). Do I have to do it a different way or is Twitter's app problem? I already tried reinstalling it, still no solution. Thank you very much

Same issue here. I change it, but when I back out of the menu it goes back to default.

Just upgraded to a new phone and while i was able to do this on my old phone I notice now I cannot (maybe its a bug in a recent version of the app and I just set it on my old phone before the bug appeared?). Any solution for this? I tried wiping data and reinstalling twitter, no use.

Twitter needs to fix this ****. I wonder if people updating from a previous version don't have this issue because their settings carry over. It may only be an issue for new installs that are trying to change their notification from the default.

I experienced this when moving to the Galaxy s6 from an older phone and setting everything up from scratch. I've noticed a lot if not all of the complaints on forums about this issue are from people with s6's so its possible this issue is only affecting that model phone?

I have a GS6 Edge but hasn't try changing the notification for twitter.
I'll change it later today and will get back here to let you know how it works.

Confirmed, it will sound with the default notification sound.
That's weird!

Same problem here on my Xperia Z3 with 5.1.1. Really annoying!

hi. a workaround is to set the default sound as the sound you for twitter then give all the **** that actually works their own ringtone

 

[MaccaBird]

Still not fixed. Very annoying

Just got a Note 5, I have the same issue! Beyond annoying!

Just upgraded to an S6 Edge+ and having the exact same problem.

I've noticed this detail: when I select the notification ringtone that I want and press back to return to the previous settings page, the following message appears briefly at the bottom of my screen:

"In order for the feature to work smoothly, login verification notifications cannot be turned off."

Assuming the message is related to whatever is causing the sound setting to not work, I have no idea what it's actually talking about. I can't find anything relating to "login verification notifications", and searching Google for the exact phrase turns up nothing - maybe posting this comment here will change that, at least.

Here's a screenshot of the message. Again, this flashes for just a brief second upon returning from the Ringtone select screen:

The problem is there is no OK/Cancel button on the sound dialog box. My wife has a Note 4 and she has an OK button on this setting and is able to select a different sound.

My Note 5 doesn't have an OK button and backing out is the same as canceling.

This is my wife's Note 4. It has an OK button. Same version of Twitter that I have.

Galaxy S6 Edge+ user suffering with this too. VERY annoying.

There isn't supposed to be an Okay button. You should just be able to click the Back arrow at the upper left next to Ringtone.

 

[oddtay]

Maybe, but it seems to work on my wife's Note 4 that has an OK button.

That's peculiar. Other apps allow you to select ringtones without pressing any "OK" button (it's just saved by pressing the Back arrow).

So is this a Twitter App fail, or a Samsung OS fail, or an Android OS fail?

 

[oddtay]

All the reports I've seen are from newer Samsung phones so I have to wonder if it's something Samsung has done.
