Notification sound problem - Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers

I own a galaxy note 10 plus with android 10 and*version*2.0 one ui.
I previously had android 9 and had no problems at all.
I had the app installed called notification catch to change every notification sound from every app i wanted. But now from the latest update i'm not able to change the notification sound anymore from within this app. For example i've an app for my garage door , when i open my garage door a notification pops up "garage door open" and my custom sound plays garage door open. When i close the garage i get the sound garagedoor closed. Now this isn't possible anymore. Does someone know what i'm doing wrong and how i can fix this. This was really useful for me , i really miss this option a lot.

Just glancing at Play store reviews, it appears Android 10 broke that app. The developer says this was fixed, but some reviewers are still having issues. Nothing you can do until the developer fixes it. Maybe try a different app that does the same thing. Good luck.

I can't find an app the can do exactly the same thing as notification catch. Does anyone have a suggestion for an other app that can do the same thing?

Problem solved . There was an update of notification catch and now it's working again.

Notifications mess with active app when using Pebble, Troubleshooting advice needed

Hi everyone,
Nexus 5 on different recent CM11 nightlies, and Pebble V3R1 on firmwares from 2.4 to 2.6, fwiw.
So I'm using a "Notification Center" app to get notifications to my Pebble smartwatch. The app uses NotificationListener, then filters through custom settings (like "no notifications for app xyz"), then sends the message to the Pebble (or not).
Now whenever I'm having the phone on and an app running, taking WhatsApp with the keyboard up as an example now, and I get a new notification that wasn't previously there (like the first Hangouts message since I last dismissed Hangouts notifications), and the message is not filtered out but actually forwarded to the watch, WhatsApp will behave like when you hit the home button and open it again right away, which means the keyboard will minimize in that case, which is annoying, to say the least. It also happens when I dismiss the notification on the phone from the watch.
I also found out over time that this issue exists for four different apps (had to buy every single one :victory: ) from independent developers. I contacted two of them personally and none of them has a clue what to do or is able to reproduce the issue. Also no one else seems to have reported this one.
There are options to work around the problem like disabling notifications being sent to the watch while the phone screen is on, but that's not convenient, because I enjoy having those notifications on the watch while using a fullscreen app, for example. But I'm really out of ideas as to where to look or who to talk to to get a step further with this weird issue.
Also I can not reproduce it using other NotificationListener apps, like tasker + relevant plugin to execute some stuff.
If anyone had really any input, like how would I go about finding out "who" actually messes with the active app, or anything really, I'd be grateful.
Thanks, Silkey
Edit: And just minutes after posting I find another one: whenever opening or closing the main menu on the pebble the exact same thing happens. I guess I'll have to take this one over to the pebble developers. I'll leave this here though if I may, maybe someday someone will experience this too and stumble upon this thread.
Edit2: With the first edit and some help on IRC we were now able to be 100% sure it's an pebble issue. Sorry for this one, I guess.

[Q] random notification sound

I'm most likely going to repair or flash another ftf file but before I do that I want to know whether anyone else is having the same issue.
From time to time I kept hearing my phones notification, but when I check it there isn't any notifications I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. Today I have figured out it was "themes" that was causing this, I cannot seem to block the notification nor stop this random notification sound from it. Just to be clear again, there are no notifications from "themes" i dont know why it shows on the list but it is definitely causing this problem.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue? or help check whether "themes" is shown on your app notification list?
the following shows the most recent app notification
Settings/sound and notification/app notification
also refer to the attached screen shot for your reference.
thanks
EDIT: same thing happening on my xperia z2 tablet
Got the same on my 6603. Stock UK, lb and unrooted.
Random notifications, maybe twice a day.
Themes is the second item in the "most recent" in App Notifications.

im on D6603_23.1.A.0.690_R4C_Customized US_1288-7827, "second item" means it is pretty recent, the "most recent" goes in chronological order. This is funny, must be a bug in lollipop, need to inform Sony
Audio bug
I don't have that bug with the France firmware but I have a similar problem: when I'm watching videos in YouTube and one notification appears, video volume decreases and does not increase again
When I have my mail program on the PC open and it detects a spam message and deletes that, the phone is making a notification, but because it sees the message deleted near instantly, the notification is immediately removed. Maybe you have something similar happening.

Getting frustrated with bad UI

I had many android phones before and I never had this many issues getting basic things to work.
Most options are not where they are supposed to or not at all. Instead of spamming further threads I figured I will put them all in one place.
On my phone the swipe and none (lock) options are grayed out "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage". Huh ? Also I added my smartwatch as trusted device and it still shows lock screen. Also smart lock settings are nowhere to be found.
No way to control music without unlocking (setting it in notification menu didn't work for me).
Standard quick settings menu is missing (even though in review videos it's there). The command center is terrible. It takes too many taps to access certain things.
Default email client doesn't work with office365.
I want to love this phone so bad, but it makes it so difficult.
Does anyone else have any other frustrations ?
OK, I figured how to disable lock screen. In security options I "cleared credentials" and those options appeared.
try swipe up from center bottom for quick settings
I am unable to install 'Evernote' from the play store. I get error code 504. I have tried everything to resolve the issue including vpn from another country without luck. Could anyone out there with a Blu Pure XL please try to install this app to see if they get the same error? Thanks.
Same boat. I even emailed Blu's support about the Evernote issue & the fact that this phone does not have quick charge even though it is advertised as such 2 days ago. Have yet to hear back from them. Gonna call tomorrow.
Thank you. @thomasanderson

Whats interesting about this is every review unit video on youtube prior to release shows the Pure XL with the same swipe down stock lollipop notification window & quick settings as the Nexus 6. I wonder why Blu changed this on the release units to the swipe up quick settings & two tier notification system(not complaining cause I prefer it, just curious), and if that was the reason for the 3 week holdup from the initial release date.
Look at the 3:28 mark on the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkCfilwYIEc

You're absolutely welcome. Contacted Blu today. They told me that they would have to look into the quick charge issue and get back to me(yea right), and as far as the evernote app goes I would have to contact the developer. Interesting thing about that is that Evernote doesnt allow you to talk to them unless you are a premium subscriber. LOL! I was not aware of this. Looks like Ill be moving all my notes to Keep or Onenote for the time
being.
Found another annoyance. Led light is blinking green but there is no notifications on the phone and no way to get rid of it unless I disable the led completely. Also autobrightness doesn't work most of the time. On the verge of returning it.
OK restarting fixes the notification, but still...
BLU Pure XL
so far too many apps that work on my Nexus 5 running 5.1.1 but do not install or run on the BLU Pure XL running 5.1.
Out of Milk (sync does not work)
Evernote (504 install error)
I guess I will have to return the BLU. Super hardware, sloppy software it seems.

If you received a text or call, clearing the notifications from the notification bar is not enough. One have to go to the call and touch it to mark it as read. Kind of like an email, it does it for me.

Remove headphone notification pop up

Hi, returning to android after a several year hiatus on an iPhone. Couple of things really annoying me. One is every time I plug my headphones in I get this stupid notification asking me if I want to enhance my audio experience. I do not for the last time! How the hell do I stop this popping up ? Searched around but can't find anything.
Other things annoying me like "Whats new" and other sony crap but I've found some other info on the forum to remove that which I need to try. But nothing on the headphone pop up thing?
Thanks,
"Improve your headphone sound" screenshots attached.
I got no idea either, it's pretty annoying. The normal way of holding down on the notification and "blocking notifications" isn't an option here. I didn't have this problem on Lollipop, which country version are you using?
I only got it the first time Marshmallow opened but not anymore. Try enabling and disabling the option.

Yeah, I have not spotted this either, get the ear icon on the screen, that I would have to manually open to get the screen you show
old post, but just for anyone else:
double tap the notification, enable the sound enhancer, allow it permission to record
then disable sound enhancer again.
this seems to have got rid of the notification for me

Xperia xz dual sim notification sounds problem

Hi All,
Recently I got my xperia xz dual sim and directly updated it to Nougat.. So dont know how it is on 6.x
I noticed something weird. Basically with whatsapp notification sounds so far. When i get a whatsapp message, sometimes the notificatiom tone works normally and sometimes it is cut.. I mean sometimes i hear just the first part of it.. Did anyone see this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Did anyone face that?
Thanks,
any news friends?
Seriously no one noticed it? :fingers-crossed:
I don't use WhatsApp, but I noticed another weird notification glitch. And this may seem different to yours, unfortunately.
I have an app (my local ISP's) which, very rarely, pops a notification regarding an offer or a service update. And when that happens, the notification sound is different (something I did not set as it is not customisable) and, worse, it JUST DOES NOT STOP! It keeps buzzing and buzzing and buzzing. Dismissing the text from the drop-down does not shut it either, and I am forced to restart the device. This didn't happen with any other app, though (and most of those pop up notifications way more often).
Likewise, another annoying bug I noticed was that the phone/system update notifier became a constant presence in the drop-down even if THERE WAS NO UPDATE on offer from Sony.
Full resets did not help and, anyway, I decided to move on. Cashed in on an attractive offer and traded it for a Google Pixel earlier today.
I hope you find a solution to yours, a_k_gano.

Thanks alot for your reply. it is different than mine.. seems everyone has his own impact
Did you try reinstalling WhatsApp?
On that note, I noticed notification and ringer sounds to "cut" abruptly when I tried listening to them while, for example, choosing a tone (be it notification, alarm or ringer). I am referring to the sounds menu under Settings. Come to think, this comes closest to what you have described and no, I didn't find a solution to that either.

this happens to me randomly... when i receive a notification, sometimes it cuts and sometimes it works normally... mainly happens with whatsapp or this is what i noticed so far. I reinstalled whatsapp, I did factory reset to the phone... but no progress so far.
I can say.. for two days after the 7.1.1 SW update, the problem stopped happening
Oh good! I did get an alert on my email that a new update is ready. But I don't have the phone, traded it up for a Pixel.
This is 7.1.1 and not 7.1.2?
you use whatsapp beta or original one from play store
7.1.1 don't have the problem
