But that was like two or three times out of 30 or 40 messages that I received over this time, of about an hour. And let me repeat - it DID work two or three times during this period of "not working" - all when I had Chat Heads on. The appearance of Chat Heads seems to be at least similarly affected - I usually have those turned off, but I tried turning them on again. And though I had chosen some other notification sound, the very first thing I did was change it back to the default Messenger "ding" ringtone. With ringtones in the existing "Ringtones" folder and notification sounds in the existing "Notifications" folder. I have indeed added ringtones and notification sounds, but I put them all into the device memory, not onto the MicroSD card. Well, the ringtone doesn't seem to be an issue. If anyone has any ideas to send my way, I'd love to hear them! I suppose I'll go ahead and uninstall and reinstall everything to do with Facebook, and see if that helps, but I'm not expecting much from that. One thing I noticed after I cleared the data was that Facebook Messenger showed a row of icons near the top - underneath the "search for Friends" field - instead of down at the bottom, where I had to go into Landscape orientation in order to see the right-most icon to get into my settings. I even went into the Apps settings, and cleared data for both Facebook and Facebook Messenger, and after that, I did get a notification sound - ONCE. So, I'm taking this pretty darn seriously. I have Facebook Messenger set up to also handle SMS messages, so if I can't get the dang notifications to work, it's darn near a "return the phone" issue for me - very nearly moreso than if the phone ringtone wouldn't sound. When I did get the sounds, I did get the sound I had set it up to use. Yes, I've gone through all of the app settings, and everything is set up to work properly. I went back and forth with a friend, and out of a good 30 or 40 messages or more, I might have gotten sounds on two or three of them. Well, I've just spent an hour or more banging away on my S8+, trying to get the Facebook Messenger app to sound its notification sound.
