Volume problem - General Questions and Answers

Hi
I know this might not be the place to ask this question but i think someone might know. I have a zuk z2 (Lenovo z2 plus). I'm on AOSP Extended rom and it's great. But i have some struggles with my personalised volume / notification settings. I'd like to not get a sound from a notification but have it vibrate, but i DO want to have my ringtone volume on. I can't figure it out, the aosp extended is off course based off of stock/Pixel/aosp Android. Please help

Under Sound in the settings, there should be an option to change the default SMS and notification tones. The first one on the list is none. If you select none for SMS and default notifications and have a phone ringtone selected, then you should get the results you are looking for.

Notification sound won't change

I've gone into the settings and change my default notification sound from Cloud to anything else but it won't change. I can select any other sound but when I get a notification it still plays the Cloud sound.
I go check under setting and it is set to the other sound I chose but it still plays Cloud only.
Any thoughts or ideas
change in individual app's settings: email, text, etc. It held changes after doing so. Main sound settings should, but for some reason don't.

What apps in this behavior occurring in? All apps? One app? Be specific please.
It's happening when I get a text message or E-Mail notification. I set the Notification sound under sound settings and it always plays Cloud instead of whatever I do choose.
I found the setting in Messages to set it for the sound I want. My bad. Thanks for pointing me right way...
I'm having the same problem.
I have the main notifications sound in the setting main menu to clouds for example, I'm using K9 mail and I have the sound for incoming mail set to something else, but when new mail arrives I get the main sys sound of Clouds. I tried setting up the stock email client and had the same result. The Text message sound plays different, but not the email.
Anyone know?
I was able to set both in their own apps. Messages & G-Mail the sound settings were there. It is now working on mine. I just failed to find it at first.

Text message notification sound

I am on infused 2.1.0 and have a question about sms notification
I cannot find anywhere an option to change the text message notifcation sound.
The one that the phone uses now is too short and very hard to hear even with the volume jacked.
I LOVE this phone and glad I got rid of my iphone but the sms notification is just so very poor in terms of sound quality compared to the iphone
thanks for the help
Messaging uses the default notification sound if I remember correctly. From your home screen tap the Menu button then tap Settings > Sound > Notification ringtone then select something that is louder. Trust me. The phone comes with plenty of ways to get your attention
thanks for the post. Notifications will allow me to change the sound for say an incoming email but there is nothing that will allow me to change the one for a text????
Not with the default Messaging app. It's coded to use the "global" notification ringtone. If you want to pick a specific notification sound for your SMS messages you'll need to use a different app for SMS messages (which will give you A LOT more features than the standard Messaging app anyway). I like Handcent SMS but other people seem to like Chomp SMS too. Give it a shot. The apps are free and easy to use.
ok are you using the infused ROM? when I go to notifications, the sound I choose is for email but the SMS is totally different !!!!!!!!
Nah, I'm using CM7 at the moment. If I'm wrong that's my bad but I coulda swore Messaging used the default notification ringtone. If Messaging actually uses its own settings for a notification ringtone it has to be somewhere in Messaging's settings menu.
Open up the stock messaging app. Press menu, settings, scroll all the way to the bottom, and the last option is select ringtone.

Theres arent application to give you notifications. You can customize notification icons if your savvy enough but it would definitely require rooting your phone. Sound profiles can be set through system settings and application specifics. Hit thanks if i helped and try searching more if you didnt already. Odds are someone on here is experiencing the same thing as you
I didn't understand your question properly..
But if you are asking an in-call notification application, search for 'SMS Popup' in Market. You can fully customize your notifications and also you can set in-call sound notifications..
Hope this helps..

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****.

Question Google messages cannot change default notification sound P7P

I have searched on the site and don't find this issue. Despite everything I have tried, I cannot change the from the soft, default Google Messages notification sound. I have even tried changing individual sounds on a person by person basis and that doesn't work. I have gone into sounds and notifications in settings, also tried by going into the Messages app. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Easy way just get Zedge and add new sound through that

I can change the system default with no problem but the default per contact is a fail, so I feel you. Same with other alerts, like my Google Cameras. Wil lNOT set a different alert sound than the system default

I can't even get the default to change. I have tried everything I can think of. Sounds and notifications, in the app itself, just can't figure it out and this is my 4th Pixel.
There are two locations for "setting" notification sounds for Google Messages as well as "default notification sound" UNDER "Sound and Vibration"!
Now if both of these are set to the same thing then everything will work OK. However, if the default location is set to one sound and the app setting is something else...then it's a toss up as to which will take precedence.
So here is my suggestion for two possible solutions.
Under settings>Sound and vibration>Default notification sound>My Sounds and select NONE. Now you can go to the messages app itself and tap on your avatar in the top right>Messages settings>Notifications>Other notifications>Sound and choose whatever sound you want. This will give you the sound you want for any messages you receive in the messages app. However, this will leave any other type of notifications such as a calendar reminder with NO sound (unless you assign one specifically to the calendar in the same relative manner as you just did with messages. I chose the calendar as an example because once you dig in and find the notification sound set for your calendar it is probably set to "Default notification sound" which you just set to NONE.
The second possible solution is to change the default notification sound to what you want and the messages app to the same sound. This will ALSO make all the other notification type sounds the same as in the previous calendar example.
Now you can always set the calendar to some thing different and it MIGHT work as you set it despite the default being set to something specific and it might not.
So of the two methods I have suggested the one that should work the best is to set the default notification sound to NONE and then go into each individual app that may give off a notification sound and give each one what you want. I hope this helps!
I am able to change my default sound to a different per app basis by going to profile picture and then clicking on message settings and select notifications then selecting behavior sound and more and from there select incoming messages then choose your sound for your messages. This is how google messages does it

Thank you for the detailed write up. I tried both solutions but still nothing. I even took this one step further and tried to sync the two with the ring sound so all three would be identical. However I can't do that because none of the tones in the ring match notifications or message sounds. I don't know what the glitch in my matrix is, but this is frustrating as heck. This isn't my first rodeo, and I refuse to believe I have some special P7P that prevents message notification modifications.

Can you share a screenshot of the "Behavior Sound" screen? I don't see that as an option on my P7P. Thank you for the response.
Here you go
Oh I forgot 1
I'm sorry I put it kinda step by step I just put it the way I would like to see it
Please let me know if I can be a further help to you
I also do not have a setting called "behavior sound"?
I wonder if it appears due to a particular setting or because of the model number of your P7P?
Here is a YouTube video telling you how

It is so weird, after playing with settings for days, yesterday I started hearing my phone doing the notification for when out Ring cameras detect movement. Since I don't always check the video right away, it took until this morning to understand now my message notifications have started using same ring tone. What is weird is I set that tone during the time of this conversation. Huh...
