Develop Bugs

[APP][BETA] ICS Notify! - Separate SMS/Gmail/Ringtone Volumes! - January 31st

First of all, you should realise this app is very much in the early stages of development, and as such, bugs should be expected.
So what does this app do?
Well, if you are anything like me, you will have been annoyed by the fact that in ICS your notification and ringtone volume are locked together. This application attempts to resolve that.
So far you can only set separate volumes for your Gmail and SMS notifications. Everything else will play at the volume specified in your phone's settings. More notification options will be added soon.
I couldn't find an application that allows you to do this on ICS, but if one already exists on here, then I apologise.
So yeah, It's pretty self explanatory, enjoy!
Still does not support 3rd party sms/gmail applications. This is being worked on!

WHAT'S NEW?
* Incoming call bug fixed (where it used the gmail values)
* The relative checkbox bug fixed
* Incoming call volume added
* 'Relative volume' added (thanks to pascanu for the idea!)
* Vibration can be turned on or off for each setting (except incoming call, caused too many problems)
* Help menu added
* New icon (by yours truly, if someone wants to make me a better one, please do!)
BUGS:
* It's rare, but If you receive SMS/Gmail messages in rapid succession, the volume will fluctuate wildly (multiple sms/gmail less than 1 second apart).
* There may be some bugs with the Incoming Call settings. If you find any please let me know!

Awesome idea for an app! Can I request you include google voice notifications too?

Thanks Meltus for ALL your apps.

Great app! I was also very annoyed by the fact that in ICS ringer and notification volumes can no longer be separated.
A few suggestions/requests:
- ability to specify notifications volume relative to ringer volume (i.e. +/- a specific amount). For example indoors I would have ringer set to 5 and notifications to 3, but if I go outdoors I would easily increase the ringer to 10 (using the rocker) and the notifications would follow to 8 (no need to enter the app)
- Tasker plugin (endless possibilities)
Thanks for your effort.

Sounds like a great idea, I'll definitely add that to the next version. Thanks!
Has anyone experienced any bugs or anything yet?

Hey Meltus
Thanks for stepping up to fill this big void in ICS when no one else has. Given your other work, you're the right guy for the job!
As mentioned above, it is a little confusing for those of us also using your Volume+ app. Since that one has volume #s way past 10, does setting the volumes in this app negate those? Or supplement? Or subtract?

No, the 0 - 7 in this app refers to the 'volume steps', it can be used in conjunction with Volume+ just fine. So 0 is silent, 1 is the equivalent of pressing the volume up button once from silent and so on. 7 is full volume.
Sorry, I'm terrible at explaining things lol

Great Idea. It would be nice to have this work in ICS. I have installed the app buy so far now luck. It does not disable or change volume in SMS or GMAIL. I chanbe the numbers 0 though 7 but nothing changes.

Hi, it was tested on ICS so it should be working fine.
Does it not change at all when you get an SMS or Gmail? What happens in the logcat?

It doesn't seem to change anything no matter what I set it to. Even setting to 0 doesn't disable sound, should right?
I am not sure where to check logcat. Let me know and Id be glad to look.
Thanks for the reply. I'll be glad to help out. Hope I'm not doing something stupid.
I am running CynaogenMod 14 for captivate. Thought Id point that out.

Do I need a terminal session or logcat app easier?

Ah, that could be it. I'll do some testing with handcent now.

The 'Relative' volume options are now fully coded and working
(-4 to +4. They will adapt to whatever volume level you set).
I've also changed '0' to 'Silent' and will be adding a 'Silent and Vibrate' option.

Awesome...can't wait for this. I need my ringer volume at it's highest capacity but the notifications constantly going off are too loud

If you could consider ChompSMS as well please!
Yeah, I was not getting any notable volume changes. I had turned off native SMS notifications though.
Also, my gmail was FCing for some reason when I tried to open it, possibly from this app? If it happens again, I'll try to send a logcat. After I disabled the app, it didn't FC any more.

Whatsapp pleaseee

BEFORE DOWNLOADING PLEASE READ
There is a small bug in this version which I will fix as soon as possible (far too tired to do it now). When you load up the app, the 'Relative' option will be enabled. This needs to be disabled for the settings to update. You can then re-enable it again if you wish. DISABLING IT FIRST IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Enjoy!

Testing. Seams to work fine.
Problem: I am also using Light Flow and have set it to clear notifications when screen is switched on. When I receive a notification ICS Notify kicks in and turns the screen on, negating Light Flow's action.
Not technical a bug, I know. Trying to figure out a workaround...

Notification volume linked to ring volume.

Apparently, within ICS, there is no way to separate ring volume from notification volume, which means that when a Profile Manager is used it isn't possible to have ring enabled and notification silent at night, which is my objective.
I've used Quickprofiles and Profile Scheduler and am now on My Profiles + - all of which let me make changes to a night profile, but none of which allow me (because of the specifics of ICS) to keep the ringer on but turn notifications off.
Does anyone have a solution to this, or do I need to wait until ICS changes occur in later updates? Many thanks!

I made an app that can do this. It's still very much in beta so there may be bugs.

Thanks for this! Is it easily switchable - in other words, can I change profiles with a click that will turn off notification sounds but keep the ringtone on (and can I set a slightly quieter ringtone for the 'night' setting?)
Thank you for going to the trouble to try and fix this!

You can set the "absolute" values for the Gmail, SMS and Ringtone volumes. So you can set the Ringtone to "4", the Gmail to "0" and the SMS to "3", for example, and it will alter the volume accordingly when something is received.
I will try and add support for more notifications and 3rd party applications soon!

SYSTEM Volume

Hi,
why is there no option to adjust system volume (camera-shutter, battery warning, ...) in any ICS ROM?
Without 3rd party-apps you can´t set system-volume of the phone...
I really don´t like that...

e.e I like 3rd party apps ... they are sometimes better than stock
- Google

that´s the problem... why do i need a third party app to adjust simple things like system-volume?
ICS has integrated sliders for alarm-volume, in-call-volume, and so on... but why is system-volume missing?
Why CM9 or AOKP don´t include such a slider?

If you're already using ics roms which are always third party, why do you mind using a third party app? Personally, I have fallen in love with volume+. Check the developer's website for free full version (market version sucks).

because it kills homogenous look&feel ... i´d like to adjust all volumes with ICS-settings (e.g. opened via volume button) - and i don´t like to start an extra app for adjusting system-volume.
that´s really not necessary... what´s the problem to add a slider into ics-settings?

Its built into the stock sound settings on aokp. You can link or unlink system volume. I forget how it was on stock, but I'm pretty sure its tied in with ringer volume on stock. So your camera sound is whatever level your ringer volume is.

oh thanks.. so i will try AOKP...
at stock-ROM it is definitely not tied in ringer volume - you need an extra app there...

S7 edge user

Hello,
I'm S7E happy user but I just purchased OP3 for my girlfriend. Can I ask for few things, here?
- Alarm- is any way when home button pressed deactivate alarm in the morning? When she pick up phone in the morning while alarm ring accidentally she touch home button and then unlock the phone. and then takes ages to turn the annoying alarm off.
- Scheduled DO NOT DISTURB- I just cannot believe phones without this function still exist- what to do?
- Change system font- is it missing or I'm blind?
- DPI, any way for changing it without the root? Everything looks like has been made for DISABLE, blind 80y old person. It is JUST MASSIVELY HUGE.
- Nova's Tesla unread count badge is not working for FB messenger
- Pickup call- is any way of swapping annoying swipe to answer for just click icon or similar? When phone or finger cold there is no way of answering incoming call.
- What is the best browser with adblock (needs to be easy to temporary turn it off) and sync with google?
Thank you for all your replies.

- Not that i know off.
- Scheduled Do not disturb is a missing feature, but again we have a notification slider.
- Its missing indeed.
- Nope, but it takes 7 min to Rlroot and u dont void warranty.
- idk
- Not that i know off. Never had a issue with not beeing able to pick a call up in cold weather.
- I personally use chrome with this. With root it works better.

How about systemless root? Anyways u can root and change DPI and then remove root again.

I never done it before and little bit scared. Also I was just reading that OP3 is not dealing very well with changed dpi

I absolutly have no problem with my currently 420 DPI. If you are going to buy it i recommend using Freedom OS. Its basicly OxygenOS with a little bit more features such as: Adblocker, DPI etc.

No need to root you can use adb to change the dpi on the fly
yubrowser from the playstore is really good with built in ad blocking
The other ones like others have said cannot be changed afaik.

NetGuard works via the VPN API and doesn't require root/xposed/unlocked BL and works with any browser

So when alarm goes off you can't snooze with home button?

You can't. Home button- fingerprint unlocking your phone, alarm ringing like crazy and you have to go to notifications to turn it off. What a mess in the morning. iPhone alarm just stop when home pressed.

You can get scheduled DND functionality using an app. I use Silence Premium but they have a free version also.
Edit: Note that Google includes scheduled and other nice DND functions in stock Android but OnePlus delete this functionality from OxygenOS even though it is essentially stock Android. They delete it because they are too lazy to think about accommodating it with their hardware slider even though other manufacturers do it, most notably Apple.

Super. Silence premium do the job. Thank you.

Out of curiosity, how does Apple manage potential conflicts between physical alert slider and different software settings?
What setting does take over?

I don't own an iPhone so no idea but Silience Premium on the OnePlus 3 works exactly how I would expect. I.e. the slider always has priority. In the normal position the software can set priority mode on/off but the slider always sets it on if set and sets it off if toggled etc. When the app sets priority on the indicator goes on just like the slider so it is a true system setting thus we know that the stock DND could do it as well. I just don't understand why this simple and obvious behavior wasn't adopted by the OP design team.

Top speaker not working for notifications/alarms/Ringtone?

Not sure if you are still wondering, but yes, this is normal unfortunately. I've gone as far as setting up a Tasker profile to get around it.

Don't really see the big deal

Can you share your Tasker profile?

Don't know but mine is silly loud on alarms and tones.

Sound definitely comes out of both speakers during incoming calls and notifications. However, when choosing a sound in the settings, it does only come from the bottom speaker.

Sure thing! If you haven't already, you're going to want to download the tasker app. Once you've installed that, open it and (like the previous post mentioned) go to its preferences and disable "beginner mode" under the "general" section. Then go back to the main screen and long press on the home icon in the bottom left corner. Tap "import" and then navigate to wherever you downloaded my profile and click on it. That should import the project. Once the project is imported, you should see "Phone Ringtone" next to the home icon on the main Tasker screen. Tap on that and it should bring up 4 profiles. At the top, tap on the tab that says "Tasks" and that should bring up a list of 4 tasks. Tap on the one labeled "Play Ringtone" then click on "Music Play". To the right of "File", tap the icon that looks like a magnifying glass, then navigate to the file you want to use as your ringtone. After that, make sure all the profiles are enabled on the main screen, then go to Android settings and set your ringtone to "None" so you won't have a ringtone AND music playing each time someone calls you. Hope this helps!

As I commented in another thread, I imported this project, made a test call to my cell phone with Google Voice/Hangouts from my PC, and it works and sounds great! Thanks again!

I believe there is an actual issue here.
If you play music and have the notification selection for SMS or phone calls open, and pause the music and select a notification or ringtone, it will play from both speakers and be loud and sound great.
If you play it again, it will suddenly only play from the bottom speaker. If this is intended, it's not a good decision in my opinion. It's way too quiet.

so this XML fixes the issue and makes ringtone play via both speakers?
because i rooted my phone, didnt find a solution, restored back to stock. just want to make sure this works, to go through the rooting proccess again,.
