I tried to avoid the 4.4.4 update with a vengeance, but VZW forced it despite my saying NO< NO< NO....

A few things changed for the better, but for me, the SMS Notification Sound is gone.

The LED lights up, but no notification sounds period.

I had restarted the phone several times for other reasons, so that ought to be taken care of.

I decided to go through a complete reconfiguration of the phone's default settings for every notification sound thinking that maybe, just maybe they needed to be "pushed again" to "fix it". Kind of like VZW nullifying our Voice Mail and not telling us that it will go away.

None of that made it give me the Chirp Sound when a message came in.

Okay, just maybe after a new configuration has been done, it does not take effect until you Restart the Phone??

Nah, couldn't be.

But it was............ I did a restart once again AFTER having gone thru the configuration settings, and now the birds are chirping again when I get an SMS.

Just throwing this out there as a General FYI kind of thing.
 
I went to settings, sound and notifications, notification ringtones, and selected anything but "join hangout".

Messenger notifications back to normal.
