Txt message Notification breaks sound!!

Has anyone else experienced this? when I have my phone hooked up to my car stereo aux jack to listen to music.. I get a text and then no sound, until I receive another text!! its like to txt notification is muting the music and then not un-mutting after the notification is complete. this was happening on stock un-rooted phone and on all other roms too!!! its the reason why i rooted it.. and im still stuck with this problem, I have to send texts to myself to get the sound working again.
oh and how in the heck do you keep it from announcing the person that is messaging you? it is quite annoying, i just want a simple notification.. not a name or a number being called out for every one to hear.

well I take it im the only one with this problem???!!

cant say...i play music all the time in my car and once notif is done the music comes back on. are you using stock music player, stock sms and stock notifier?

i changed to handcent to see if that would help and yes I have changed player and neither of those help.. how do you keep it from reading peoples name outloud when a text comes in without putting the phone on silent?

It's never happened to my on stock or on a rom.

Here's Help

To answer your question, I have the same problem too. Never tried sending myself a text to get it working. I just boot into recovery and then clear cache and reboot.
As for the phone telling you who's texting you here's your fix to that.
1. Go to Settings
2. Go into Voice input and output
3. Go into text-to-speech settings
4. Check to see if Driving mode is checked.
If it is this is what makes your phone talk to you.
5. Go into Driving mode settings
6. Now uncheck what you don't want your phone to say out loud.

[Q] No notification sounds during phone call?

Is there any way to turn on notification sounds (for new text msg or email etc.) during phone calls?
I find myself constantly taking my phone away from my ear during calls to check if there are any new notifications since the sounds get muted during call and find this kind of annoying. Seems like this should be a standard option, no?

Turn on pulse notification light in display.
You really talk on the phone so much and receive so many notifications that this is a problem?

Notification pulse is turned on - that has nothing to do with sound. It bothers me because notification sounds worked just fine during calls on my Galaxy Nexus.
If I talk on the phone for 40 minutes but I get an important text message 5 minutes into the call that needs a timely response, yes, it is a problem.

Anyone have any ideas? This is an annoying issue.

+1. I'm looking to see if there's a solution for this.

Yes , I need to know the answer to the same , because missing out on important messages are a fear when I am on long calls . Thanks .

Anything new on this? Just got my Nexus 5 and I'm having the same issue.

Use tasker. Make a profile that makes a short vibration upon receiving a notification. You could use a sound instead of vibrate, but imo that would be annoying for you and the person you're on the phone with.

Nexus 5 issue.
There's a simple solution for this., just go into your settings>sounds and notification >interruptions. Here you can edit what notification will interrupt you while being on a call.

SMS notification sound doesn't play if SMS arrives after screen turns off

My S6 and S4 did this too, so I'm wondering if there's a workaround.
If I'm having an SMS conversation with someone, while the phone is in my hand, I get the SMS notification sound as normal, but then I put the phone down next to me and if a new SMS arrives somewhere between the screen turning off and the phone locking itself, there is no notification sound and so if someone adds something to the conversation, I inevitably miss it until next time i check my phone.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? is there a workaround? Thanks

it has been like that for alot of the samsung phone. I dont think there is a way to change it.
Normally i just reply and back out of the app before leaving the phone

when on a phone call, can you turn off incoming sounds from text messages?

When I'm on a phone call and I get a text message it's so loud through the earpiece is there a way to turn this off?

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM TOO!
I've yet to find a solution for it yet. Couldn't find a way to turn it off either. I have play notification sound disabled inside of textra but it still goes through.

I use signal texting app... Must be 3rd party texting apps

I updated to 9.0.3 yesterday. It didn't cause the loud ding at all. I think it may have fixed it. I'll confirm again later today, so far seems promising.

Just updated as well... Let you guys know
New update me the phone super Snappy FYI

I don't think there's a particular switch that you can toggle. Although, what you can do is, delete /system/media/audio/ui/InCallNotification.ogg and you shouldn't get that sound for every notification during calls. But then again, you need to have root access.

Just got a text while on a call and didn't hear a ding. I'm on 9.0.3, completely stock.

@Macusercom were not the only ones. 9.0.3 may have fixed the issue fyi

That'd be great. Just flashed it and will check.

Tested again today. Not a single notification, including text, caused the loud ding

It's been fixed!

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****.
