I have a Verizon S4--actually my second one due to a charger issue--and I have had this problem with both. The notifications don't sound when I get a text message. I have checked all settings (I am not new to Android or Samsung phones). If I restart my phone, the notifications work again--vibrate & sound. But after a day or two, the sounds stop playing again--only the vibrate works when I get a text message.
I am using a ring scheduler to silence my phone during work hours--I have tried two different ring scheduler apps with the same problem. For the first day or two after a reboot with the scheduler turned on, it works fine. But then stops working. All other notification sounds work fine with the scheduler and don't have this problem. However, if I uninstall these apps it doesn't have this issue. It leads me to believe that the ring schedulers are causing this issue, but they are so handy! Does anyone use one and not have this problem? If so, which one and I will try that one?
I have also tried a fast reboot app but it doesn't work. I have to do a full restart to make the sounds start working again.
Any ideas?? Please help!
Thanks!
