there might be an app acting up, just repair it with SUS or PCC

Update Service (SUS)

thanks uliwooly, this notification problem occured when i intalled Viber app. then i looked into your suggestion that "there might be an app acting up", thats why I uninstalled that app and rebooted my device, and guess what! notification tone started sounding. thanks for the helpful suggestion. anybody facing this problem, should uninstall viber, skype etc to rectify this problem and may wait for sony to rectify this problem pertaining to these apps.

sorry to say that but again my phone notifications tone are not responding, the phone just only vibrates whenever new message comes or there is something to notify. The problem creater was not that app, that is this ICS upgrade. In GB i had no problem whatsoever but after upgrading i have been in a big mess. tried updating my software with SUS but still the same. Switch off n on makes it(notification tone) work but only for 30-40 min. it is disgusting to switch off your phone in every 30-40 min. Sony please help, Please fix this bug. I am really a big diehard fan of Sony.

Even I have the same problem.

Sigh, Its irritating to restart the phone every 2 hrs !!.

I think this problem is for everyone no matter how you update the phone to ICS. I first updated through the PC Companion and the  notification ringtone was not working. After reading the forums, i updated thru the Sony update Service. The notification ringtone seem to be back for a while and after sometime suddenly stopped. It works for a while after we restart the phone and suddenly it goes.

Please provide an update to this soon.

We are unhappy with this. My phone is just 3 days old and i am not at all happy with the kind of bugs it has. Apart from the bugs, its a good phone. With the bugs fixed, it can be a better phone.!

Any comment on this from Sony Support folks?.

Its very uncomfortable for the users!!.

I also ended up having the same problem of no sound on SMS alert and other alerts after the ICS update..The problem is with the software...Sony needs to release a patch or firmware update immediately to fix this issue or many other users will soon be getting the same problems in their devices...

People are still updating their phones you know and the problem will become apparent with more users switching to ICS
