Hello all -
Title pretty much says all, but I purchased a Razr Maxx HD on Saturday and after getting all my settings straight, I can't help but notice how loud the notification tone is. I've gone into volumes and set the notification to its lowest setting (can't understand why the volume is separated, but whatever), but when I get an email it is still very loud. Does anyone else believe their tone is unusually loud? Everything else sounds good, but I just can't figure out why this tone is so loud.
Lol yes. I came from an X2 and have noticed that the notification sounds are very loud even when on low settings.

Ok good, glad I'm not the one going crazy. Thought lowest volume setting would be good when the phone is on my desk at work. Little did I know the whole office would hear my notification even on the lowest setting....woke my wife up last night as well.

Thanks GoClif - call me stupid but I actually thought something might be wrong because the volume was so high. Glad to know it is normal.
Nah not stupid at all. One of the very first things I noticed when I unboxed mine.

Ya had the same issue with notifications

Not that this will fix your issue.. but I installed the JB leak an have noticed for one the speaker is quieter than when on ICS overall.. and the notification volumes seem to reflect what you would think you would get when setting them to a lower setting.

That's good to hear. I've rooted and installed roms on phones for a few years now (starting with the Epic 4G on Sprint), but I just haven't taken that leap on this yet. The Maxx HD battery lasts so long and the phone seems smooth enough that I haven't had any desire to. Not sure if you even have to in order to run the JB leak, but I haven't gone there yet.
Thanks for that heads up - hopefully that stays when it becomes official.
That's promising. Maybe Moto is aware and will fix it through JB.

I didn't root either the leaked firmware can be installed on a stock phone.. and then if you don't like something you can go back to the official firmware easily.. I am still on the JB firmware and I have no major bugs although battery life seems to be slightly less (still great though)
The leak seems to me to be an early JB build as it is even more "stock' android than the ICS version. The "people" app is stock JB (it doesn't have moto's black themeing applied.. which I actually prefer.) The navigation keys are stock as well.

Guys, I have to ask. How are you adjusting your volumes? Volume rocker or going into settings /sound and adjusting NOTIFICATION volume?
Since our moto device doesn't have the expanded volume control on screen, I go into settings to make the change. Volume is then, not so scary.

Was just gonna say that. So used to volume down changing everything but under sounds.... solves the issue haha.

Hey guys. This phone has been great, but now I've just started noticing this problem. The vibrate is getting progressively weaker. You can even "hear"/notice it when, let's say, the phone is ringing, the vibrate will sort of "level" down.
I downloaded an app to test vibration, and it seems to be random and getting weaker. Also, when the phone rings, sometimes, while vibrating it will "hiccup".
What is causing this? Battery? My phone is perfect except this. I REALLY don't want to go back to stock and have to return the phone.
What rom. And kernel are you using? I thought I was having the same problem but it was because I was undervolting

Absolutely no undervolting here; I can tell you that with 100% certainty. I'm using CM7 with default kernel.
At one point I DID mess with the LordMod kernel and install a UV script, but after that I didn't like it (it wasn't smooth as CM7 kernel default), so I did a nandroid restore to an earlier point when I wasn't using it, so I assume the entire system including kernel included was restored.
Yeah your kernel was restored too. Hold the volume down button for 3 seconds. How weak does it feel?

It vibrates, albeit weakly, and vibrates sort of "rough". It even skips while vibrating. Sounds like it's missing (sort of like when a car engine misfires) .
how do you take vibrate off in all settings I thought I did but when I answer the phone it will vibrate and when I use the calculator
Maybe it needs a tune-up?

It's getting more ridiculous. It sputters like a car that has bad spark plugs (analogy).
I contacted AT&T and they are shipping me a replacement. I will report when I get it.
I had a similar problem with my Atrix except it was the keyboard and haptic feedback that was completely giving out. I hope my Inspire doesn't start acting up, I got it off Craigslist not at&t
Sounds like hardware. I.e , the the little motor that spins the little off-center weight that results in the vibration might be going bad :-(. Hope I'm wrong.

If you're into this sort of thing...
First time ive heard about this kind of problem, sounds like your hardware is getting down. Better get it checked if you still have its warranty.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Update: got the replacement. The replacement works perfectly. It is definitely a hardware issue.
So anyone in the future who has this issue, get your phone replaced!!!
Mine has been seeming to get louder, sometimes when typing its almost overwhelmingly loud.
Ehhh... got lucky...

Since this phone has the biggest notification led ever, it is distracting when I am sleeping. I thought that turning background data off with SmartActions, or data sync off with Power Toggles would help. Neither has worked and I'm still getting notifications in the middle of the night. The only way to make sure its off is to turn off wifi and I don't want to do this because I want to get updates when I wake up. I have a case on so flipping over the phone doesn't really help. Is there another way?
Wow you must be a light sleeper!
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
Yeah it's annoying. If I didn't use the phone for an alarm or need it for work, I'd probably just turn it off when sleeping.
Sent from my Droid RAZR HD MAXX
But what notifications are you getting?
I mean, what app are doing this?
Check this, works great for me.

Hey guys, I really need help... I'm scared for my phones life right now... I'm running aokp now and it's great. Everything is running perfectly until yesterday. Somehow my notification sound turned into that awful tri-tone sound from the iPhone (that's the only reason its awful) and the ringtone changed into that nasty Maramba tone. I've changed themes a few times so the only explanation is themes change sounds or my phone is turning into an iPhone. D: if this is the case there's only one thing to do, burn the phone then smash it by running it over in my truck.

From what I was aware of no because the theming normally just deals with icons and looks nothing every really with sound files
This is where it should be since it pertains to themes

Yes it can. Cm10 uses a cyanogen tone whereas stock at&t uses firefly or something like that. That's not to say it always does, but yes it can.

Hello all. I am the owner of a Motorola Droid MAXX as my signature can testify. It is easily the best smartphone I've owned but there are a small handful of questions. First one follows.
The volume rocker on the left seems to only control the ringer volume. To change the notifications or media volume I have to go to Settings > Sounds. This hasn't been true on all my previous Android phones. Why is this different? Is there an app that I can buy that will synchronize the volumes when I press the hardware buttons? Have others experienced this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sent via Motorola Droid MAXX
Mine's working just fine. Notification volume levels have been tied in with the ringer volume levels since ICS, if I'm not mistaken, and changing the volume in an app that's playing sounds affects the media volume on my end at least.
Mine is definitely not synchronized. Any idea how to fix it?
Sent via Motorola Droid MAXX
Mine is the same as the OP
Sent from my XT1080 using xda premium
Mine also has no option to synchronize that I can find.
I believe there are some apps that have widgets that let you see the volume on the home screen and quick click into the volume change setting. Ill have to go find one b/c its a pain in the butt to not know what level my notifications are at unless I go into settings.

That has done the trick for me. It survives reboots too. Well worth the $0.99.

Its also hard to get adjusted to the vibrating mechanism in this phone. You will rarely hear it vibrate but you can sort of feel it if it's in your pocket.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
Weird, I tested it out and it looks like my notification volume isn't synchronized either even though all my other ICS/JB phones have been. As far as I'm aware it acts like it is though, I'm pretty sure my text notifications at least have been quieter or louder at different times. I wonder if I should let Motorola know or if it's something intentional?
Volume Control in the Play Store works and is free, but occasionally the ringer volume doesn't change the notification--even if linked--when using the volume rocker; but it works flawlessly if you open the icon and use the slider. But not bad for free.
Haven't tried the paid one linked above to compare them. Maybe after work when I have more time.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
My RAZR MAXX has the same as op is referring to. I don't mind it. You have to be in the app to change its volume with the rocker.

It's been two weeks and still no fix for this. What gives?
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
I had this issue with my Bionic also. I don't know why they wouldn't have it synced.
So, in the Gravitybox for JB there was an option to have your navigation keys flash like a notification light, but in the KK version they got rid of that option. Does anyone know how I could get that somehow? I can't find a recent app that will work for this purpose. I just really liked that option.

What's the purpose? There is a notification light on ultra\maxx =) I'd rather look to that direction. Anyway it requires root.
Haha. Well, seeing as though no one has done anything with that notification light, so I think it would be easier just to get the navigation keys to light up. And I am rooted. Haha
