I posted this exact same thing over on XDA, but I thought it important to make sure my AC brothas knew about it too...
I have found a weird bug that I can't seem to find reported anywhere else. I'm fully stock, fully updated, rocking a custom tone, but that's just an audio file so that probably doesn't matter. I did, though, delete it, redownload it, switch to defaults, everything along those lines before stumbling on one last guess.
Okay, here's the bug. The notification tone gives only an extremely short portion of the notification before going silent.
Solution - and tested - The person you're getting that messed up tone from has reached it's limit of text messages stored on your phone. Simply delete the text messages and you're golden.
Theory: Educated guess here, I think the phone receives the text, sets off the notification process, then does the deleting process. When the deleting process is triggered it stops the tone. Having less than maximum texts gives a full notification.
I actually had 2 people on my phone at full messages, both of them were getting partial tones. Now they are, one at a time deleting the texts, receiving texts and giving full notification alerts.
