[Q]Disabling fade-in ringtone? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Is there anyway to disable the the ringtone fade-in for this phone? It's the first phone I've ever had that does this and I personally prefer my ringtones to play at full volume whenever i receive a call...I tried playing with ringtone apps to add a few seconds of silence to the beginning of the ringtone, but it's just not the same. I've also tried the 'volume locker' app and it's not what I'm looking for. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

+ 10 for this, I hope there is a way?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

ditto the +10 I too would like to know how to prevent the fade-in. I make my own ringtones, if I wanted it to fade-in or fade-out I would include that in the tone

Count me in, I was disappointed with the fade in...

hmm
just a thought check over in the optimus thread. since alot of the framework for their overlay is still there i wonder if it was an option in settings of their overlay but is just sitting in the framework with no way to modify it now.
i havent ported my number over yet from my verizon phone so im not sure i have gotten more than 1 call so i never noticed this.

[Q] Unlink Ringer and Notification Volume in ICS?

Hi All,
I haven't been able to find a way to unlink the notification volume and the ringer volume in stock-ish ICS (I generally don't stray from pete's ROMS). In GB it was easy, cause they had separate volume sliders. I'd prefer to have my ringer go off much louder than my notifications so that I hear it, but still get faint little audible notifications when I get an email or text or whatever.
Do other ROM's have this functionality? Is there a simple workaround? Or is this something that would require a mod?

Yeah this annoyed the heck out of me also, for some reason they removed this functionality from ICS ... I have no idea why.
It annoyed me so much I wrote an app to work around it ... I just released it on the market mere hours ago!
Check it out, works a treat -

Much more development and features coming to make it easier and better to use.
My question -- Open Kang Milestone 3 now has the ability to unlink notifications, but I like to play with other ROMs. (I love Gummy and always come back to it.) Is there any way to extract that ability and present it as a standalone fix? Or will devs start including that as standard in their roms now?
BTW, I've downloaded Sloppy's app and it works great, lets me keep my ringer on at night but turn off all other notifications. Also, he's very responsive to inquiries. The paid app is worth it.

There are people complaining all over the internet about this, but only 255 people starred the issue in google code.
Come on, star the issue and "push" google to fix this.

or
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23202
Yeah this is annoying and totally non sense. I hope they find a way to restore it without having to wait for all rom devs to implement it or having to download a (paid) app that consume memory (even if very little)
Peter Alfonso has this implemented in his roms now, so I'm all good. I switched to cyanogen before Pete had baked it into his ROM, but I had the same experience I always do with cyanogen. Smooth at first, but then deteriorates to laggy, slow and unusable in a couple weeks without a fresh flash. I starred the issue on Google anyway though...it's pretty whack.

Wonder app...and it works on ICS. I can now have my ringer volume on high and the text and email volume to silent. COOL.
"ICS Enhanced Ringer Control" get it on the silly named "Play Store"
I'm using RezRom and it works! Yea
Try Audio Control, it's by far the best volume management app in the Google Play store. There is both a notification and ringer volume for ICS or Jelly Bean.
Really helpful developer too.

[Q]Separating sound levels?

Has anyone figured out a way to make it so you can set different sounds to mute (example just notifications, which are tied to ringer, stupidly) without the sound profile for the entire phone changing to silent? If I set ringer to silent, everything but alarms and media are silenced, which is ****ing annoying. If I want everything silenced I'll set the silent profile mutt self. Really all I want is a way to control the different sound levels like an adult who knows the difference between ringer and notification volumes.
I've tried multiple third party apps, they are all limited to the way sound are handled natively, and can't override the auto-silent mode setting. I need a root solution, like a modified settings app, but unfortunately no one makes those for odexed ROMs, and I'm in stock T-Mo US...

Quick settings in the store. Used it for ages. Works perfectly for that. Only thing is that ringer and notifications are still tied together. But that's ICS, so you don't really get a choice.

Yeah, noticed that. Was going someone fixed it like in AOKP. But it might not matter for long since I'm having AOKP withdrawals, so I'm probably going to flash it soon. I was trying to stay as close to stock as possible but there are just too many little things about sense that irritate me, and now this.

Ringtone/Notification Volume Question?

I have tried to search for this but haven't really found any solution. On my previous android phones when I go into work or somewhere that I want my phone on vibrate I would just simply hold the Vol Down key until it goes to Vibrate and everything would be silenced (ringtones, notification tones, etc.) but when I got phone calls, text, etc it would vibrate.
For some reason on this phone when I do this it doesn't control the individual "Notification" volume, so I have go in and manually control that myself. I guess for some people this might be useful to manually control them individually but to just quickly silence the normal things like ringtones & notifications. For me personally it's quite annoying to have to deal with them on an individual basis.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out on this!
I'm also curious about this. I do the same thing. I put my phone on vibrate when I get to work which silences the ringer but if I do something else (I often play ads in Viggle for bonus points) that volume is untouched and must be silenced on its own...
I'm using CM10 currently. Not sure if this differs between roms.

Is there a settings / sound / volumes / link ringtone and notifications check box?
I haven't had either issue. If mine is on vibrate that's all it does, if silenced it's all silenced. Hmm.
Have you guys tried using a widget or the notification toggle?

Thanks Romman0! That option is not available, but just your keyword of "link" enabled me to find an app that does exactly what I needed! :good:

There is a setting in Cm10 that links ringtone and notifications

Would anyone be interested in a widget for this? I could get right onto developing it if there's a demand for it.

[Q] Rings once, then is silent

Searched here and on google and found nothing helpful to my particular problem. I am currently on a TeamEOS 4.4.4 ROM (7-11-14 nightly) and also had this problem on Cyanogen 10.2.1. I have my default ringtone set to silent because I work nights and get a lot of calls but there are very few people who I want to be able to wake me up, those people all have a ringtone set in the contacts section. None of them ring more than once. It's once, then silence, it doesn't go to voicemail after that - the rings on the caller's end are normal, and the phone continues to act like it is ringing with the little animation and it vibrates, it just doesn't make a noise. With the default ringtone set to a ring it rings as it should. What is the deal with this? Note: They aren't custom ringtones, they're stock with this ROM, custom ringtones that functioned as they should before I rooted function incorrectly now, so it is not the files themselves. Fresh install/reset does not help.
Are you having this issue on sense? Also, double check volume controls. They aren't consolidated so maybe the ringer specific control is off

It's with sense or whatever manages notifications in the ROM, I haven't used an addon app. I checked and it's certainly not the volume controls.
Well then try an RUU. I've never heard of anything like this
Ages later and with a newer ROM and it still does this. Nobody else has this problem?

Notification sounds not working.

I have 2 apps installed, WhatsApp and Ring Doorbell that are not giving me sound notifications. For me the volume on this device is not very loud. I work in a noisy environment and need loud volume. My last phone (Note 5) I did that sound mod changing the volume xml file and used very loud notification sounds (mp3) and it was perfect. So I took those sound files from the Note and put them into the Mi 10 Ultra in Ringtones folder and set them. Since then I get no sound notifications.
I did some digging and found an app 'Hidden Settings for MIUI' and set it to 'play sounds', but that didn't fix the issue either. I'm completely new to MIUI and am all out of ideas. Its strange, but when I open the phone, the WhatsApp notification sound beeps to let me know I have a message, but I have to open the phone, if its sitting in my pocket I get no notification. Ring Doorbell is not working at all as far as notifications go. Nothing. If someone who knows MIUI could give me some help it would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: shouldn't have wasted my time
That's it for me. SIM out and back to my Note 5. Great phone but the software is atrocious, if I had of known the nightmare this would be I wouldn't have bought this phone. So now it goes back into its box where it will stay, 6 months 1 year I don't care, until there is an alternative to using this absolute mess that MIUI is. A real shame, but something as simple as a couple of apps really is the deal breaker for me. Maybe I'll sell it? Global ROM? Who knows ....but for now its a useless device that can't even run a couple of apps? That is as bad as it gets. Its privacy settings are the worst I have ever seen. Disguised as 'protecting you' but in reality its the other way around. If I wanted to be locked out and locked in and locked down I would have bought an Apple iPhone. Xiaomi makes good phones, but their MIUI software is the worst I have ever seen. I would not recommend anyone buy this device.
I actually was facing this problem and found out a fix. You just have to turn vibration on. For some reason some apps don't make a sound if it doesn't have vibration on for notifications.

I have Ring doorbell and Whatsapp working (sort of) as sometimes they are delayed.
I had to change settings/notifications/ring and set rules for notification as important and also make sure all notification settings are on
Then fo to settings/apps/manage apps/ring and make sure Autostart is on and set permissions to make sure the bottom 4 are set to green ticked. Then make sure restrict data usage set to WLAN and Mobile data and then set Battery Saver to No restrictions.
Hopefully it will work after that. Do similar things to other apps that may not be making notifications correctly.
PS I'm using China ROM
So I had this issue and figured out a sure way to get sound notifications working.
You just have to turn vibration on in the subtype of notification for said specific app. If you don't want vibration on all notifications for that specific app turn it off otherwise.
Here is the thing that helped me with the same notification issue! Just google "xiaomi mi 10 ultra notifications" and in the top 5 links you'll probably find an article from:
theunpopulartraveller. It explains the settings, and they need to be accessed by pressing and holding the app icon ^ app info.
Don't give up, try and you'll get the sounds from needed apps back. And ye, actually now I find the way Xiaomi did it much more convenient: I just turned on notifications for 2 apps, and all the rest are silent, while previously I had to turn off all the rest of the apps (much more than 2, definitely) not to get disturbed by all the bull****.
