I do not think this was an issue with stock GB KJ6.
Running Valhalla Final right now.
I've done plenty of searching and apparently there's an option in the volume settings along the line of "Use incoming call volume for notifications" -- it's not there, nor do I ever remember seeing it. If this issue is unsolvable, I guess I can live with it or just take my ringtone to Audacity and quiet the file down so it's not so loud.
What I'd like: A medium-volume ringtone, or even a quiet one. A very loud "Get my damn attention" notification tone.
What I expect: Turn notification volume all the way up. Turn ringer volume to just level one or two.
What happens: Low ringer volume = Low notification volume. The sliders are there, the checkbox for "Use incoming call volume for notifications" is not.
Long press the search button (or magnifying glass) on the bottom of your phone. I know on stock and VB it pulls up the menu where you can set volume levels separately for notification and ringtone among other volume levels.
You can also go to settings - sound - volume and set it there.
I hope I haven't misread your 'What I expect' but I think this should accomplish what you are trying to do.
Just saw I posted in general instead of Q/A. My bad. Also, on Valhalla Final and Stock, holding the search key pulls up voice activated searching. For me, at least.
But even when I do just that, set notification to high and ringer/incoming call to medium or low, the notification tone plays at the lowermost setting, in this case, the ringer/incoming call.
Found out it's the same on CM7 with my sister's Moto Sholes, so maybe this is normal?

This is also what I see in Valhalla final and Stock KJ6.
The issue here is with Notifications at 100% and Incoming Calls at ~20%, the Notification tones are at the volume of the Incoming Call volume.
bad flash maybe? or a third party app perhaps?
I tried notifications and ringtone set at different levels adn it seems like its working for me
Or maybe fix permissions.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Moving to Q&A
Posting it in the general was a genuine accident.
Will try the permission fix now, though I doubt if that'll do anything.
Seems to me that the toggle is hidden but it's enabled. I'd like to know where that setting is stored and manually change it.
Edit: Fugget, I'll just deal with it and make my own call tones later.

Is there any app that can have the phone ring on silent for some callers, and with volume on for some? For example when I'm sleeping, if my friends call I want it to ring on silent so it won't wake me up (but not block the call, because I still want to see the entry on my missed calls), but if my mom calls I want to hear it ring so I will wake up.
perhaps:
h t t p : / /
ringomo.com/android
.php
customize specific ringtones for every contact
otherwise create a "blank" mp3 you use for some contacts
Nice idea with the blank mp3

That would be a lot of work to set up every night, lol. I want something quick and easy that you can switch on and off.

I realize this is an older request, but we just released a new application, CritiCall which does exactly this. It allows you to turn the volume off at night and still receive calls from specific people. Just set them as "critical" contacts and the app will override the volume settings and let the phone ring for those contacts only. It will remain on silent for everyone else.
You can even set up groups so you could have your family set as a group that will ring your phone 24 hours a day Then you could have another group for friends or co-workers which limits the times it overrides the volume to between 8AM to 10 PM or whatever times you want. You can customize the times for each individual or for each entire group.

or Click Here from your phone.
Paid version is $0.99
or Click Here from your phone.
There are also features to let you adjust the volume that it rings as well as an automatic resume feature. Obviously there are times you can't have the phone ring, but you can turn CritiCall off and set the time for it to turn back on automatically. This works great in case you turn the volume down for some reason and you forget to turn the volume back up - you don't miss important phone calls.
If you have any issues or comments/suggestions, let us know at [email protected]. We want to know what features to add - we're already working on an on/off widget and also having CritiCall work for text messages too.

AutoRing - review here.
Uses a white list approach.
I was looking for the same thing coming from a BlackBerry and I found Bedside:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bedside-(night-clock)/net.geekherd.bedsidepro2
I love it. It uses a whitelist so you just set up who you want calling/texting (which are seperate) and only those will ring through. It has a widget you tap to activate/deactivate so it is pretty simple too.
I use Toggle Settings pro, and it works well for this sort of thing!
I found this app while googling for ways to disable increasing ringtones on my Note 3, Dunnow why Samsung Doesent has an option to Disable it in the settings!
This App does not require Root and works flawlessly!, i am using it on my SM-N9005 and GT-i9500

Once Disable Increasing Ring is downloaded and installed, it runs in the background and automatically equalizes the volume of the ringtone and makes it consistent. The app very small in size and is lightweight. Since it runs in the background, it is never identified and neither does it obstruct any running tasks.
When Disable Increasing Ring is installed on your device, it requires no further configuration or user inputs. In fact, as soon as the app is installed on your device, it starts working right away.
The only downside of using this app is that it displays its icon in the taskbar indicating that the app is running in the background. However this icon can also be disabled by going to the Application Manager in the Settings window, selecting the Disable Increasing Ring app from the displayed list, and by unchecking the Show notifications checkbox that is available right under the Force stop button.
Google Play Store Link:

Not so interesting with this app since, the notification is quite annoying since it is displaying blank gaps between others notification icons. I was tried to disable the notification through settings but it will appeared again every time when I reboot my phone.
My recommendation is HandyPhone - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.sydorov.handyphone&hl=en
Just turn on the Enable ascending ring option in your HandyPhone. Then select maximum for your "Initial ringing level" option. No need to root and no notification in the notification menu.
Besides, you also can increase your "initial ringing level" to higher volume instead of let your phone ringing up from the default volume.

Thanks for this app. Works well, and much less annoying than having the notification
I posted this in the Pixel XL forum as well.
So I just recently noticed that I cannot adjust the volume while on a phone call. The volume buttons trigger the slider, and the slider moves, but the volume does not change. Also, the volume slider doesn't go all the way down. It stops at about the 15-20% mark. Here's a screenshot of the volume slider as low as it will go:

After some searching, I found a PIxel User Community post on the same topic, and posted there as well: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/phone-by-google/P0Lc5nX-Huk
I also found a news item from last summer, describing a similar problem with the Nexus 5: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Goog...l-bug-brought-on-by-the-latest-update_id83468
The following description from back then is far too much like what is going on with my phone to be a coincidence:
"Some of the issues that users are complaining about include the inability to adjust the volume during a call, even though the slider does move. Another complaint found on the AOSP Issue Tracker includes one from a Nexus 5 user who is unable to move the volume slider under the second lowest position."

So, is anyone else here having the same issue? Any ideas on a fix?
Have my phone since 15th of Dec and haven't yet seen this issue. Were you just talking on the phone normally by holding it to your ear?
Yes. It was too loud, so I tried lowering the volume, and nothing happened. Pulled the phone away from my ear, and watched the volume slider go down, but no volume change happened.
Now that I'm aware of it, I check all the time, and this happens on every call now.
Mine definitely adjusts the actual volume. Are there any apps or mods you have installed that could interfere with this?

Not that I know of. My bootloader is unlocked, but I have not flashed a custom recovery or rooted. I'm just running stock, with BL unlocked. Not sure what app or apps would cause this issue.
Hello guys,
I'm wondering if is there a way to stop the sound volume changing made by notifications.
I'm explaining better: in any mode, with or without sounds or vibrations, when I'm listening to music or watching some stuff and I received a notifications, for example by WhatsApp or email, the sound becomes lower for a couple of seconds and then return to his previous volume. That's very annoying.
Do you know if there's a way to stop this behavior?

Go to Settings\Sound and Vibrations\ and look for Ascending Ringtone. This setting starts sounds low and raises them as it continues

I've tried it, didn't work, it keeps interruptions
To completely stop notifications from interrupting, you have to disable the notification related to the app.
Settings\Status bar and notification\Manage notification. Select your app and go through available settings. Experiment until you find what you're looking for.
Yes I've tried all the settings, nothing changed. Don't know if it's a bug.
Vivo with Oreo 8.1 does not support separate ringing/sound volume alarm form sound alarm notification.
You have to wait until Pie version arrive that add that useful separation.
Here's how sounds volume works on Pie.

Easiest way is to enable the silent mode from control manager while anytime you are watching videos and don't want the notifications disturb you.
Hope this helps!
Hi, my Pixel 3a is making a sound whenever there is a notification, although I have set the phone to vibrate (even in the do-not-disturb mode!). I have used Android phones for the past eight years, so I think I am pretty familiar with all the little things with Android, but I am just confused to hell about what is going on. I checked a few settings, and they look okay to me (which means that it would behave "normally" on my old phone). I have media volume set to non zero, but that should not matter as I understand.
I think if I turn off app notification sound in individual app's notification settings it should work, but obviously it is a daunting task that I do not want to bother.
I wonder if you can offer some advice. Thank you.

Yeah this confuses me as well. The only way i found was to tap the notifcation symbol again so it turns to the bell with the line through it. But then theres no vibrate either

I still have the notification sounds under the mute mode (and was again waken by a sound at 5am this morning). I suspected this may have something to do with Google Assistant, and while I am not 100% sure about it, I tried something and it worked for me: I turned off "notification access" (Apps & notifications > special app access, or via search) of "Google" and some other apps, tried to trigger notifications, and the phone vibrated/stayed silent as expected. I turned them back on, and everything still works fine. Hope they do not com back.
You may want to give that a try.
EDIT: DO NOT turn the access back on -- it may fail after you reconnect to your Bluetooth headset.

There is a thread for it now:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe..._bug/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Since these notification channels were implemented, the whole way of the notifications being served got upside down and confusing. R&D forgot at 7.0 already that android is a phone os, some people don't have time to granularly tune each and every app and set the sound and vibrate and other bs.
Same here, Facebook's notifications can come with a weird sound even if I cut off any sound...
