| Re: system notification ringtone won't stay set to silent | JeffTheRef | 12/25/11 5:13 PM | I sure have. I have a Droid2 Global (Verizon). The problem was more pronounced for me. Google+ not only kept screwing up my notification settings, it was also screwing up the ring tones (general phone ring tone and the mp3 tones assigned to specific |

| Re: system notification ringtone won't stay set to silent | Toby S. | 12/27/11 1:30 PM | Jeff, is your phone also rooted? What ROM are you using?

| Re: system notification ringtone won't stay set to silent | JeffTheRef | 12/27/11 2:00 PM | My phone is not rooted.

| Re: system notification ringtone won't stay set to silent | JeffTheRef | 5/15/12 7:49 AM | There has been no change as far as I know. I reached out to Toby S. on his Google Plus page (if I recall correctly, at the time he was a product evangelist for google), but did not get any reply there. I have not put the app back on my phone even tho |
