I just got my V60, having migrated from a V40. I used LG Switch to copy my files and settings over and by and large it worked well.
I had a number of apps that no longer had specific notification sounds on the V60. All used the "default" sound. Those apps are Ebay, Facebook, FB Messenger, and Snapchat. I was able to get the app specific sounds to work on Messenger, Ebay, and Snapchat by uninstalling and reinstalling.
Facebook however won't play the Facebook ding, it still uses the default sound. I have tried changing the sound settings under Settings menu, but I can't select the Facebook ding, only the sounds preinstalled on the phone, or the "default" sound. Now, if I go to the Facebook app and go under push notification settings, I can select the ding sound and all is well, however the system notification settings trumps the app notification settings.
I cannot uninstall Facebook, as I have an ATT V60, and Facebook is part of the system bloatware. I can only disable it. I have disabled, reenabled, reupdated, and have had no change. What am I doing wrong? What is the correct solution?

Is there a manual method to change notification sounds? Like a prop edit, or other change? I want to set individual sounds (email, sms, alarm, etc...), but the Sense 3.0 version I'm using only has a single setting for all notification sounds.

most apps with a notification feature will let you set a unique notification sound within their settings menu (I know Gmail, stock SMS, Facebook, G+ and at least my alarm program do this)
Yeah, I got sms and alarms figured, but there's no way to set an email notification sound.

which email app are you using? it's possible with the gmail app, it's just kind of hidden
go to settings --> account settings --> (select the account you want to change, if you only have one account it will be the only one listed) --> labels to notify (at the bottom of the list) --> (select the label you want to set a notification sound for)
I have one personal and two work accounts synced to my phone, with different labels synced for each account, and different notification sounds for each label. honestly...it's maybe more confusing than useful at times ("was that the ringer for my personal priority inbox or my secondary work account's receipts label?") but it's possible.
then again it might not work that way for other email apps, I wouldn't know!
Thanks for that, but I use the stock email app, as I have both a gmail and Comcast account, and I don't want to have to open two different apps to read email.

aha - in that case, I have no idea.
I suppose you could forward your Comcast emails to your Gmail account if you're really desperate for different sounds, but that might be more of a pain than it's worth too.
I have latest FB app, turned on all notifications but I don't get any push notifications. Gmail and messenger notifications are working. I have nova Launcher Prime and missed it plugin installed. What could be a problem?
You rooted? If so, possible causes are Greenify or PowerNap.
Not rooted

may be the notifications are blocked, see in settings-> sound and notification-> application notification
Missed it plugin seemed to have problem with certain apps
Also, check if you're using STAMINA mode and if so, whitelist FB Messenger.
Hi,
Think the Outlook app get bugged on the latest 142 software version, Have a Mate 10 Pro, BLA-L29, (C432)
After installing the Outlook app everything works fine also the led for in-coming mail, it's blue.
Also can change the sound within the Outlook app for in-coming/ out-going mail, so the screen pops up for selecting another sound, if I leave the standard Outlook new mail sound or set another doesn't matter to prevent this issue.
The problems start after restarting the phone, no blue led anymore and also can't select another sound anymore, it goes then to the notification settings, like you do with setting/apps/ notifications.
For out-going mail I can still select another sound.
Tried all possible and checked all settings regarding notifications and permission etc.
Anyone else have this issue or a solution..?
Thanks
Yes, I just got off the HiCare Chat with Huawei, it's a know bug with their EMUI. Tried everything possible, no luck. Sorry!!!
Hi,
installed the Facebook app on my brand new Pixel 3, and want to mute the in-app sounds. I'm looking for an option in the app's Settings menu, but can't find anything.
Then I'm looking online for some support, and find out that this can be set up in the Settings menu, under Media and Contacts. Unfortunately, this option is not available in my app. Tried cleaning cache etc, reinstalling the app - still no change.
Anyone have the same problem? Is it Pixel/Pie-related? Or just something related to my FB account? Please help, it's very annoying to not be able to disable this app's sounds.
I've also reported the problem within the FB app, but there is no response/feedback.
I'm not on the Pixel 3 but I did notice this issue on my S9+ after I had to reinstall the app. The "Media and Contacts" settings menu where that was located is completely gone. I'm guessing maybe it was a mistake in the last update that rolled out? Regardless, it is VERY annoying that I can't turn off the app sounds. I have no idea why they are even turned on by default anyway.

i am trying to set a separate notification sound for incoming email in Gmail for ny A52 5G.
in the Apps setting, i select Gmail, then Notifications and then Mail.
when the window opens, it shows underneath Sound the system default. uf u tap on that, it loads the Ringtones for Phone app. if I download a sound file, it will not let me set it for only Gmail.
i have also tried to download a sound file from Zedge, but can not assign it to the Gmail app.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Google has removed this feature from their Gmail App. Those bastards

So, I have MiXplorer and when I hit "Sound" it asks to complete either using SecSoundPicker or MiXplorer.
I then navigate through MiXplorer to the folder my ringtone is located and select it.
It should work then.
Good luck!
found the solution!
Iuninstalled the Ringtones for Phone app and tried it again. This time, The option to use Sound Picker spp was displayed. chose that app and selected a sound file. worked perfectly.
I was unaware that I could uninstall the Ringtones for Phone app.
Thanks to everyone who responded.
