I am posting this issue here as there is no Pixel 6a section in forum and I believe 6 and 6po will have same issue.
In my Oneplus 8t I had whatsup with its own notification sound and FB messenger with its default notification sound. I got my Pixel 6a 2 days ago moved all data from Oneplus to Pixel 6a all is good, besides the whatsup and messenger notifications sounds every time I receive message sound is the one that in phone notifications section by default for all apps. I would like to know it is only me or there are other people with same issue. Thanks
I'm not sure if I understand completely. Are you saying that the issue is that your whatsapp and facebook messenger's notification sound uses the default phone notification sound instead of its own notification sound? Or are you talking about in-app notification sounds?
As far as I remember, both apps will use the phone notification sound by default. It's been like that for many generations of android OS. You can change the notification sound under [app info] yourself, but it will default to the phone notification sound if you don't change it. (I use an app called Lightflow that will customize my sounds when I reinstall or transfer to a new phone ... so I'm assuming you don't have installed any apps like that).

Hey you are right, I want whatsup and messenger use their default sounds rather than phones default sound. But for instance I can not find messengers default sound when I try to change it.. usually they have their own sounds under the data folder.

Actually, I think you're right about the app's own default sounds. I looked at my FB messenger and I see under default that it says "app provided sound." (I don't use whatsapp though)
First make sure that FB messenger's (app info) - (notifications) - (chats) is set to [default] and "app provided sound" is displayed under (Sound). You can also try uninstalling and then reinstalling the app. Sometimes when you transfer the app over from another phone, it doesn't fully transfer everything over.

Let me check real quick I have uninstalled reinstalled yesterday but no messages received yet so don't know if sound is default or not ) It seems uninstalling reinstalling fixed the issue now I can see "app provided sound" for FB and for messenger as well as for Whatsup it shows default "note" sound. Thanks for sharing your info

It has been like this for awhile, but it hasn't really been bothering me I guess until now I realized the importance of it, which I should of done this long ago cause it's been like this for a couple of months. Notifications are on, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
So, with notiication, do you mean just the sound and vibration? Or also the message in the upper tray?
It's not much information. So here are some possibilities:
- you have installed a skin and have not selected any sounds.
- in the accessability men you have set: play no sounds/feedback at all (it's for deaf people)
- You have some kind of do not disturb mode on, without the notification in the tray saying so.
- You have backgrond syncing of, and now apps only sync when you use them. So you get no notification.
- sound settings and vibration settings are off (not likely of course)
- the phone is instructed to play notifications to another device (watch or some other bluetooth device)
- your phone is not working properly. Try to restore to factory default and see if it is something in the software, or hardware. If not working after reset, ==> waranty
EDIT: in the title you say: when I get a message. you mean text message? NOtification sounds can be changed. Sms messages can have their own sounds en settings. It's in the sound menu.

Alright this may help or not, but let's say you message me thru the default standard messaging thru the phone. Usually, the recipient would get a notification of that message, shortly after being sent depending on the area's signal. I, however do not get a notification, vibration, ring, I do not get anything that notifies me in any way that I got that message, so I could being doing whatever on my phone, receive an important message about work or something, and never know about it. However I do have Smart Launcher and the messaging icon does have notification numbers to the top left of it, but that doesn't help really.

Where did you check if notifications were enabled. In settings AND in the app itself? you can also try to clear cache and storage of the app.
Ok I'm dumb notifications were on when I went thru messaging, but when I went thru the application manager they weren't on. Honestly don't remember how that'd happened, but thanks for the help bro.
For some reason on my OnePlus 6, when I get a hangout notification, the icon appears in the status bar, but it won't pop up with the heads-up notification allowing me to reply. Also hangout message notifications do not vibrate or play a sound, even though I have vibrate/sounds enabled in the Hangouts app. This is really frustrating, as I completely miss messages until the next time I check my phone.
I disabled Xposed, gravity box, it's basically 100% stock except for root via Magisk.
Anyone else have this problem, or a suggestion on how to fix? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Hangouts.
Thanks
So I decided to do a factory reset. And now I don't get Hangouts notifications AT ALL. No icon, no sound, nothing. Nothing until I go into the app. Then all the missed mesages are loaded and show as unread and play the sound, but only once I actually open the app.
I have Hangouts ignoring battery optimization, and have made sure any and all notification settings are enabled. Notifications are coming through fine on my OnePlus5. Although I have also tried signing out on all my other devices, but I still can't get any on tbe OnePlus 6.
Might be a hangouts thing. I had this on my 6P. Wouldn't show anything until I opened the app....
Has anyone run into this issue with the newest global beta? I went through the normal google settings restore process and not I don't have any option to change device specific notification sounds.
I cannot get notification sounds set by application on MiUI 10 either...
Since android pie my mix 2s has lost the option in a lot of apps to change to a custom ringtone.
For example i use outlook app for my email and there is an option for a custom ringtone but when i click on it it just goes to the screen to allow a sound notification and not to menu to allow me to set the actual ringtone.
i use messages app which again allows me to choose a ringtone but this never works, not even under the sound and vibration menu in settings.
Apps like gmail dont even have an option to set a custom ringtone whereas on my samsung tablet using the same gmail app version there is an option in red to set a ringtone.
My phone is a complete mess since xiaomis update to android 9 and a right pain to use !
try "AutoNotification" app. its available on play store. it has a standalone feature that enables you to modify notification settings (priority, custom sound, vibration, etc...) per app.

It doesn't work with the recent update. Quite disappointing...
Hi, waiting for Xiaomi to restore custom notification sounds, you can try Notificon or Message Notifier Pro (I tried both, but I'm using the last one).
Xiaomi RMN 7 and same problem... f*****k !!
Hi, I am trying to assign a message sound/tone that specific contacts as you would do without the the ringer to be. I can't find 'message tone' under settings. any suggestions. Thanks

It's not called "message tone" it's called "notifications" under the sound settings. However there is no option for you to do what your asking with Stock firmware you'll need to find a custom Rom to have this option. I think Lineage Rom let's you do this.
Has this been removed in android 8 or is this samsug s7? (i don't have this phpne longtime yet, bought it 2nd hand for my car that has android auto) there used to be an option in sound settings that had 4 options like email, sms messages and 2 more, you could change the notification sound over there and in sms app there was also an option in the settings to change the sound of receiving an sms but i can't seem to find it ?
EDIT nevermind found it, its in messages app/settings/notifications/general notifications

I think you've misunderstood the OP, notification for a specific contact like your mother in law or something. Ive only ever seen this in a custom ROM.

That used to be in android by default also.
I charged my old samsung s4, it has kitkat 4.4 stock rooted firmware and in there you can select a different ringtone, sms notification sound and vibrate pattern for every contact.
Edit, i just checked my samsung A5 which has android 7 and the option to change the notification sound for text messages was still there in android 7
I've just yesterday gotten a Mi Mix 3 and set it up accordingly, and I'm finding MIUI okay as a whole except for some issues with notifications I'm having. Basically:
Some apps that send push notifications will only send them to the notification shade. No notification icon, no pop-up alert, no lock screen notification (more on that later), no sound, no vibration, no notification light. This is all completely independent of the notification settings of the app. I can turn everything on and it still won't show. Some apps show fine, such as discord and messages, but they still won't show on the lockscreen:
No notifications showing on the lockscreen at all. For apps that do send notifications, only the sound and notification light will display when I receive one, but checking both the lockscreen and notification shade whilst the phone is locked will show me nothing until I unlock it. This is while "Lock screen notifications" is enabled in the app notification channel.
No per-app notification sounds. This is most likely less of a bug and more of a missing implementation, but since this is a base Android feature now is there alternate way to enable these?
Settings specific to these issues:
In "Lockscreen & Password / Advanced Settings / On Lock Screen" the phone is set to "Show all notifications and their contents".
In "Lockscreen & Password / Notifications" it's set to "Show Animation".
In "Notifications & Status bar" "Show notification icons" and "Show on lock screen" is on.
MIUI version is fully updated at 10.2.1.
Anyone got any idea?
Many thanks
For me i had to activate it for each app seperately, that i wanted notifications from. Except for apps that already gave me notifications like snapchat. I know i had to do it manually on instagram for example

Strangely, by going into the app notification settings and changing the settings off and on again it seems to have fixed the problem? At least for the actual app's I've tested (twitter and discord).
I've also tried with an app called push notification tester however and this has the same 1. and 2. issues. I'm not sure what the difference is but if it works for important stuff at least that's what matters.
To everyone else the 3rd question still stands; is there a way to get app-specific notification sounds in MIUI 10?
The simple solution is to install a non-MIUI-based ROM.
Have someone found out how to set per app notification sound?

LOL. Stop fat-shaming it! Weight was one of my biggest concerns coming from a Galaxy S5, and the MM3 is heavy, but you do get used to it after a couple of weeks.

Literally burst out laughing in a meeting where I'm the lowest man on the totem pole by far, oops.
I'm having this same problem again myself
Even Xiaomi apps like YiCam don't work right half the time.
The notification inconsistency in MIUI is one of the biggest reasons that I just listed mine for sale. No matter how many times I've gone through individual app settings and overall notification settings, it never works as expected. And my expectation is only for it to work as the settings that I've selected indicate. It makes me a little sad actually... this was my first Xiaomi device and I ended up liking MIUI way more than I thought I would (especially compared to EMUI... which is complete trash). Oh well... on to the next.
I run an app called Notification Repeater(apk) and it seems to address any of the inconsistencies that MIUI has with Notifications(or lack there of). I use another app called AutoNotification(by joaomgcd on the Play Store i believe) to block some notifications such as "x app is diplaying over other apps" that never seem to go away.
I know it kind of sucks to have to find a work around to use a phone when realistically it would be nice if your phone just worked the way you wanted it to out of the box..but since installing these apps i have been more than happy with my current situations when it comes to Notifications.
I've also had similar problems. In addition to manually turning on each apps notification in settings (Have to remember this for every time I download an app as well) I've aslo downloaded the app 'Notification Repeater' which has helped significantly. I get absolutely ZERO notifications on the lock screen though which is something I still haven't figured out how to fix without switching ROMs. I hope someone can figure something out.

It is sort of thick but is the densest phone I've ever held. Got used to it after a week or two though, I don't think it's a deal breaker
