Disable boom notification/ top notification ingame - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

hi, currently on my HTC u11 which I got yesterday.. Was wondering is there a auto hide notifications when I'm playing games or idling? Espacily when I'm playing Pokemon Go or in ig, the boom sound will show up and it's quite annoying.. Even when listening to music.. Is there a way to disable that or just autohide the notifications bar when idle?
Edit: basically when there's sound on an app it, will pop up..

+1 with also like to know how to do this.

yeah it seems like there's an option to remove it in Settings -> Sound & Notification -> Notifications.... and there's a list of apps and also system apps that we can silent from going to notifications.. just that i dont know which one is the boom sound :/
i pressed and hold to make it 'show silently' but it still on top there its quite annoying

As far as I know, without compromising your security by unlocking the bootloader and such, to reprogram the inner workings of android system, the only way to rid ourselves of this little ahole that the HTC programmers are seemingly not allowed to let us get rid of...is to use Bluetooth. As I recall from my most recent wired headphones, it remains at that time.
So get a bluetooth speaker for every room you listen to music in, and a pair of bluetooth headphones and you all set
What I find MORE irritating is the inability to change the white a$$ notification on lock screen to transparent. I guessed a theme might solve it. But I don't know how to design the notification strip on a theme. All I ever done was just set icons and wallpaper and stuff.

Is there a way to turn off ALL SOUNDS quickly?

I don't see why there needs me to so many choices when it comes to sounds. There's
Incoming call volume
Media volume
System volume
Notification volume
Is there a way to set the sound option to actually turn off/on ALL the sounds? Or at least group the Incoming call volume, system volume, and notification volumes together? For some reason, even my notification volume goes way down if I try to turn the ringtone volume down through the rocker yet it won't go back up unless I manually do it from the settings. It's a little annoying, this is the one thing from Apple that Android would copy. Running Infused v2.2.3 by the way.
Have you tried the sound button in your notification bar?
That turns off everything with 1 button.
Kinda obvious lol
Edit: it turns off all sounds except media volume.

Thanks captain obvious but I would like it to turn off sounds from apps too. It's annoying to have to always put the mute on in games.
There's also the problem of sounds from notifications changing too. I want those to always be synonymous with my incoming call volume.
There are plenty of apps that can lock volumes togheter. Search for sound in market. Dont remember any names

I like Simple Sound because you can place a quick toggle Widget on your home screen...
If you're feeling fancy, you can use Llama and it will do location based toggling

[Q] Push notifications and vibration?

Hello,
I noticed that push notifications from third party apps do not make a sound or vibrate. Is there some way to make them do that (or is that something the third party app has to force?)? As it is right now, push notifications are useless for me, most of the time as I don't notice them when the phone is in my pocket...
Err.. Dude, only if you set to not vibrate. Push notifications, actually, vibrates a lot. And though I hate that, there is a sound too. The same sound to all apps, still, it is a sound.

If you're not aware of this, There is a setting under Setting -> ringtones+sounds -> All other notifications.
By checking this option, you can receive sound or/and vibrate for all apps notification accordingly.
Yes, of course most of the third party apps will have the option to select either sound/vibrate (like IM+). If they don't have, alert will be done according to your settings under ringtones+sounds.
I'm getting sound/vibrate alerts from my apps. Are you referring to this or something else??
oh, I have disabled this option because this results in sounds on pretty much anything. Error message -> Sound, I will give this a whirl maybe it's what I need to to :-/
EDIT: Indeed, enabling this setting makes toast notifications make a sound and vibrate, but it also makes system notifications make the annoying default.wav sound. I have, however, disabled this sound now using the registry so I have the best of both worlds.
That's great! But I've live with annoying system notification since my device is just dev unlocked.

I can not seem to turn off the Speaker.

In a meeting kept getting IMs, and the watch beeped every time. It was distracting and I was annoying people in the room so I pulled down the settings and clicked on the speaker icon. The symbol is now the speaker with the line through it but the sound is not Disabled !!!!!!
What can I be doing wrong ? In some situations it is inappropriate for the watch to make sounds but I can not turn sound off.
hello,
never happen to me, I will investigate and if possible give you feedback.
regards

Not sure if you are new in android. Android has 3 volume for adjustment. You need to control them one by one. You mute the media volume, but you will still get sound from notification, or ring.
Check out more audio option in the option menu, not the quick slide down icons.

It also has One Setting to turn the Speaker On and Off. This is what did not work yesterday.
Turn the Speaker off at the meeting on again when it ends. Easy if it worked
Looks like the App "Feel the Wear" was causing this issue.
The developer updated the app and now turning the speaker off mutes notifications.

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****.

iOS to Android hope there are fixes

Just switched to sony Xperia from iOS. Couple things driving me batty but I hope there are fixes.
I have notification sounds on, but when I'm watching YouTube, listening to music or on TikTok, the media fades and the notification sounds loud which is so annoying and I don't care to switch to do not disturb or silent every time I want to use one of those apps. Is there a way to have the notifications automatically silently pop up when consuming media https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/ .
The qr scanner in the notification shade only opens black and doesn't use the camera when open - is there a way to fix this
The speakers and the microphone are TERRIBLE, I am getting constant complaints from whom I am on the phone to - is there a way to fix this?
Thank you

First of all, Welcome to XDA!
I don't know much about Sony devices and I also don't "i" anything, however, the Android operating system, in general has some settings and features common to most devices.
The notification thing, yeah, crazy right? Crank up the volume on your favorite tune and PING! We shouldn't have to "fix" it, anyways, you have some options:
In your settings, open the app drawer to all your apps, and tap through Settings/Sound & vibration
You can adjust the volume levels for media, call volume, ring & notifications and the alarm. It can be tedious though, I use the Do Not Disturb feature. You can do more than just turn it on and off:
[Based on my Google Pixel 7 Pro, Stock Firmware]
Beneath the "Turn on now" button, first option is "What can interrupt Do Not Disturb", People | Apps | Alarms & other
You can create schedules, set a duration for when you tap the QS tile, and even keep hidden notification hidden. It's one of the most used features on my phones.
I only allow what I consider "HIGH Priority", family and work, everyone else can leave a message. I use Amazon music, so it and the Google don't get along too well, I *think* with other services you can connect with your device "assistant", or whatever AI it has. I don't know Sony devices, did I mention that?
As far as your hardware (cam and speakers), I don't know what to tell you other than the Google Pixel has the best cam experience and most Android phones have crappy speakers. There are some audio mods around here though, they can do wonders for some devices.
Best of luck and I hope you don't go back to iOS,
Nepo
