[Q] Setting for non-repeating ringtones?

Hi @all,
long ago in times where Nokia was the leading company which sold the most phones their phones had a setting for a single tone notification for an incoming call. My latest phone (ulefone metal with Android N) has a weak vibration, so i'm missing calls from time to time. But i don't want to have a long running, loud ringtone, because when i'm not at my desk, but my phone is still there, i don't want that my colleagues will be disturbed by a ringtone which runs a minute or so.
I found an audiofile with a single beep, which i can use as ringtone, but this beep will always repeated as long as the caller doesn't give up. This is even more annoying than a standard ringtone. So now my question is: How can i set up the phone that this audiofile is played only once and not repeatedly? This works for notifications, but not for calls. I'm searching for such a functionality in modern phones all the time since the Nokia-times, but didn't find it. Anybody out there knows such a setting for android phones?
As a workaround i could create an audiofile with a single beep and 5 minutes of silence, but this is stupid
Thanks, jennix

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.

Low notifications volume

Hello guys, I have my Nokia 7 Plus since yesterday, and the first problem occurred.
When the phone rings it is so loud, but when I receive notifications of any kind (Viber, Whatsapp, SMS) it is so low, almost impossible to hear on the street (even on the max ring volume).
I know there is no way to separate the volume of ring and notifications on the official 8.1.0, but can you recommend some workaround for this at the moment?
Thanks

I noticed this too.

if you put on the volume down or up there is a pop-up on the screen.
On the right side is a arrow.
click on the arrow en the pop-up fold out.
Now you can change the ring volume and the notifications volume.

If I press the volume hardware buttons and then tap the arow down to drop the sliders menu I only get 3 sliders; Media, Phone and Alarm.
This is verry annoying, I allways miss my texts and whatapps.
I contacted Nokia customer care, there they tell you to reset data and cache of messages, whatsapp and the settings app, then do a softreset on your phone. DON'T do this.
It only results in having to set every ringtone and notification sound back to your preferences and the problem still remains.
Anybody with a solution?
Maybe in the Android 9 Pie update?
Btw, still running Android 8.1 in Belgium.

I have tried Pie but the problem remains. Even on max volume Viber and SMS sound is so quiet.
What I have done is I have downloaded louder ringtones from Zedge and now I use them.
I don't understand why this problem is present, even more because our Nokia has such a loud sound...

Nokia 7 Plus displays silent notifications despite of the active profile

Hello friends,
I am facing a weird issue after stable upgrade to 9.0,
My mobile randomly turns the sound off for the new notifications , even when the profile is in loud mode.
Still the device sounds out loud for incoming phone calls but notifications were muted.
I have tried all sorts of tinkering under the Notifications & Sounds and nothing works other than rebooting the device.
I am in October 2018 Patch , with android 9.0. This happens once in 3 days ,
Even I tried hard reset but it doesn't helped me.

I have the same problem.

How do I modify the beep alert when on a phone call

I am on OP7 Pro running Pie. When I am using the phone holding it, speaker phone, BT headset just during a call, any notification makes a beep sound. It is the same sound you would hear with other phones like Samsung, LG, etc when you have a call waiting, someone calling while on a call. It makes that beep sound if you understand.
My frustration is it's the same beep sound for anything, text, FB messenger, phone system alerts, anything that is an alert I get the same beep which makes me think I have a call waiting since it's the same sound. It's annoying because if I ignore it I think I could be missing a call so it keeps me looking at phone or pulling it out my pocket when on a call.
If this makes sense to anyone, how to change the alerts when I am on a call?
