Charging sounds - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't get rid of the charging sound even with GravityBox. If I rename/delete/replace the original files in the system folder, it starts playing my selected ringtone (even no sound which would fix the problem except I can't hear the phone ring).

You could record a silent audio file and replace the charging sound with the silent audio clip

As I said, when I use anything apart from the original ogg file (including a silent ogg file), it plays the ringtone that has been set. It's almost like the sound is signed or something

I looked arround here and there but there insnt much info on how to achieve this.
There may possibly be a mod somewhere that lets us do it that is xperia spesific.

I thought I'd solved it with permissions, but I was wrong.
It was a coincidence that I'd set either the ringtone or notification tone as silent.
The stand-in charging sound will be whatever you most recently set in ringtone or notification tone.
To get around this, I've set GravityBox up with ultimate notification control to default to what I want and custom for each app that is silent or uses a different tone.
I then set the notification tone as silent in the settings app, but this won't change anything since GravityBox overrides

how to mitigate notification sound playing music?

Hi everybody, someone know how to reduce notification sound playing music?
Everytime I get scared by big notification sound volume when I listen the music
Set ringer volume to zero.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Yes but in this way I can't know about incoming calls or messages!
I remember in cyanogen there was an option to reduce notification focus sound
Ok so you are listening to music and someone sends you a text message. What is the behavior you want??

I want the sound message not so high like music volume!
Image to listen music at high volume and an incoming message arrive and you listen something like "BOOOOONG"
But I don't wanto modify notification sound volume because when I stop to listen music I want the volume at maximum (nexus s external speaker is not so strong)
In cm7 under cm settings you can lower ring tone and notification tone while music is playing. Works great for me
ahhhhh...........gone todash..............
Ok, but I have Oxygen and I want to stay with this.
Is there any other solution?

Notification sounds stop disrupt media playback

Currently notification sounds stop the music playback (beats on/off doesn't matter). Is there a way to stop it from doing that? I feel like when I initially got it (1.83 I think) it didn't use to, but since then I have moved on, so I don't remember.
Has anyone found a way to make it stop doing that? The only work around I found is to mute the ringer volume first and then start playing audio.

the notification sound is doing what it is suppose too, you can mute or disable notification sounds then your audio will not be stopped down side would be you will have to check your phone for text, emails etc.
Really? In my previous phone it would mix in nicely with the notification being lost than the music. That way the music wouldn't cut out completely.

The music cuts out during notifications on the stock ROMs (1.73 and 1.85) same as for all 3 HTC Android devices I've owned.
If it blended in to the music, you might not notice it, depending on the volume and ringtone used.
Just turn the ringer volume down. I wouldn't mind it except it doesn't pause the music so there is a few second gap in the song.
Ah. I see. This is my first HTC android.
Thanks

Notifications pause music when using Spotify

How do I stop the music from pausing when a notification comes in?
I don't want to mute notifications. With my HTC Evo, it would reduce the volume on the music, but keep playing it.
Is there a system setting for this?

When you listen to music just put your phone on vibrate, you still feel the notification but it doesn't mute the music. I use Spotify so I know this works.

Thanks for the tip. This will work when I'm using it at work. But at home, I have my surround sound system connected to the phone via bluetooth. So I have Spotify playing on the surround speakers and it's annoying for it to interrupt the music - but I still need to hear the notification when I'm in another room.
Any ideas?
I have never used spotify, but this may work. If you have tasker, you can probably make a profile for when you connect to your bluetooth, and make a task which will put your phone on vibrate, but allow you to create a custom notification sound play using a different audio stream (like alarm or media) Some of choices for audio stream should allow you to hear the notification without it pausing spotify.

Thanks. Wish I could try it out before buying. There's no other way?
Late to the party here. Wtf is with the last post date? 1970? Anyways.. *edit, now the date displays correctly. ****in' tapatalk!
Have you tried an app called "sound about" in the play store? Check it out and see if it does what you need.

Sounds sometimes play muted ( music alarms ringontes )

Yep, as the title suggest my N5 sometimes makes no sound when there should be music playing!
It happens with every single music file, not specified to a special one.
It happes in the stock music app, it happens when i get a call, when the alarm clock rings...
Please try out if you got the same error by doing one of the following:
Press next in music app, wait. Do you hear a sound? Do and Repeat.
Set a mp3 as ringtone or alarm and then repeat and repeat click on it in the option menu. does it sometimes makes no sound?
Also confirmed it by calling myself with another phone.
1. call: n5 rang.
2. call: n5 got the call but no sound was playing.
yeah. this is kinda annoying ! Stock N5. (Also my Alarm Clock was 8 minute late once?? Maybe the mp3 was just muted 5times? Dont think so..)
Besides... as we are speaking of sound... does your Titanium ringtone and Argon alarm tone also sounds distored trough the speaker? (Also on low volume!!) Crystal clear on n4 but kinda annoying on n5..
Same here! Just yesterday, I was with a friend who was thinking about buying a 32gb N5, and asked me to demonstrate playing some music for her. I started Google play music, and tried to play one of my many saved albums. To my surprise, I couldn't hear anything. I checked all my sound settings, and nothing was muted. I ended up rebooting the device.
After reboot, everything worked as usual.
Weird!

This is apart from how it behaves for me.
When a song is muted, restarting the song, or forwarding to another part helps!
But hey, it's not cool if the alarm is silent or incoming calls make no sound 3 out of 10times or so.
This happened to me for the first time last night when using the Music app. Song played fine, but no sound. Restarting the song fixed it.
Same issue as well. KitKat has some bugs and that's one I encounter besides others.

Same here I thought it was just my MP3 files whicj were corrupted. A little worried about alarm tings though...that's something I don't want to find out
This sucks

I'll probably return my N5 and stay with my N4 for the time being.
Not because of this problem, but because of the distortion of the speaker (even default ringtones are distorted on low volume).
This is not the *****ing of others, its a real faulty speaker.
Since I purchased my N5 from the Google Play store, what's the return policy? 14 days, 30 days?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hmm, it seems so strange, i have a melody set as ringtone and after a period of inactivity the phone vibrates without ringing!
I'll try setting a new ringtone from the default ones to see if it still happens.
Same here! Got 2 nights in a row where my alarm didn't set off so I almost overslept an important appointment...
Never had any problems with that the first week but today I also got a call where the N5 only vibrated but didn't make a sound at all. Still on stock but looking forward to CM11 to arrive at a reasonable state (including all my loved features).
I'm now trying to convert the mp3 files to ogg and put them directly under /system/media/audio/
It's not a Nexus 5 defect, I'm with a Galaxy Nexus with android 4.3 and it happens to me as well.
ogg helps!?
I *think* using ogg is more stable. When I hit the mp3 when choosing the ringtone multiple times (hammer on it) sometimes the sample will NOT start to play. Using an ogg, I ALWAYS got an immediate response, no mute at all.
I'll watch it the next days using ogg files (and cutted to about 1:30 min) now.
Just to let you guys know: since I use .ogg files for alarm and ringtone I never missed any! It seems ogg is much more reliable...
So I'm thinking about doing a new ringtone app that converts (and maybe allows to cut) mp3 to ogg and use them as ringtone/alarm/notification.

[Solved] Change Volume Rocker default?

I'm on mobile using XDA app and I've done some searching on this but haven't seen a similar thread or come up with a solution. I prefer my Volume Rocker keys to control Ringer Volume by default and I guess Nougat has changed the default to Media Volume. Anyone know how to change the default back to Ringer Volume?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: for what it's worth, anyone wanting to do the OPPOSITE of what I was wanting can start with this app...Rocker Locker

The default when no audio or video is playing is ringer volume

I always knew this to be the case but convinced myself otherwise because I couldn't figure out the issue.
It looks like I have an app installed that makes the system persist as if there's media being played even when the app is in the background (and before you ask...No, the app isn't a video or music streaming app! :silly: ).
