(T-Mobile US) in-call notification

There is a sound that goes off faintly during a call when I get an email or a text. How do I change what that sound is? I can't seem to find it in settings. Maybe I'm looking past it? Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Start - settings - Sounds & Notifications - Notifications tab
There you can pick the sounds for any of your event notifications. The default one you hear is "Alert-Glass1"
Thank you! I hope that does it. I already have all of that set though. Perhaps what happened was that I got something other than a text or email that I haven't changed the sound for yet.

[Q] Call Tones/CallBack Tones

Hello I have just got my evo from sprint and love it. I was with tmobile before and was very fond of one of the options to have music playing for the caller instead of the usual ring which the call a call tone. Sprint also has this option but not a very wide selection. I just rooted my phone and im using the fresh rom and kernel and was wondering if anyone has an idea if there is a way to create your own call tone or callback tone? I have searched online and cant find a definite answer. Any Sugestions?

[Q] Notification tone during text

Hi,
Is there a way where the S3 would vibrate for any incoming notifications (mails, texts, etc.) while I'm texting someone instead of the usual notification tone? I had an Iphone before and it does this. I'm hoping the S3 can have this feature or an app can make this happen. It is very annoying to be in the middle of a text and hear the notification tones several times.
Thanks

I don't think we have a future where phone recognizes when you text and just vibrates. I think that you can only set it to vibrate only or vibrate & sound. I don't know about the app. It doesn't bother me so I haven't searched for it.

There is an "Alert on Call" option in the call setting. This is same as what I'm asking except I want it in the text setting.

Notification sound "fading in" effect

Hello xda,
Any time I receive a text or mail the notification sound starts low but quickly ramps up in volume. Is anyone experiencing this as well? Is there a way to set this so it's loud from the start? Hope that makes sense.
I appreciate your help and time
I noticed when the phone rings sounds only by the lower speaker, and sound very low and muffled.

I've noticed it too but just figured it was normal.

Do you have pocket mode enabled under the sound settings?

Turning off "Pocket Mode" did make a "slight" improvement, but not much. Thanks for the tip though. :good:

Many others (including myself) have noticed and posted about this issue here (though not enough in my opinion). It's not restricted to notifications and ringtones either, it happens with *all* sounds on the phone.
Unfortunately, there is no way to fix it. Different sound drivers, updated firmware, build.prop settings... Nothing seems to get rid of this "speaker protection" crap. I am still hopeful to someday see a mod or firmware update that addresses it though, because after trying all those different things, I've run out of ideas.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I've also noticed that, it sounds fine when I preview notifications and ringtones, but when the phone actually rings it is a lot more quiet and muted. It does appear that the top speaker is not being used for ringtones. I'll try to call htc, let's see what they say.
Called HTC, spoke with a girl who sounded like she was following some sort of flowchart. Needless to say she couldn't help and concluded that it was a defective hardware. I tried to explain that others are having the same issue and it appears to be a bug, but I don't think she understood. They are sending me a new phone. I'm sure the new phone will have the same issue. Maybe if more people call HTC with this issue, they will figure it out.

Hi there
the same problem here, without any mod, crack o root solution. But the difference were the answer from HTC technical support: " this is a technical and engineering design, it´s not a bug", this mean: " f**** you costumer, and again, a new dissapoint from HTC. I has tried in several forums, here in XDA and another ones: nothing for to do, i loose my faith in the HTC 10. It´s very frustating because a little detail ( the ringtone volume and quality) destroy a overall experience

OH, so they know about it? This is a technical and engineering design fu**-up. My notifications are half the volume of the M8. If that is their answer, then I will probably return my phone.
Any solutions yet?
On mine it rings from the bottom speaker for about 3 rings, quiet, then ramps up and uses the top speaker too. With V4a on now once the top speaker kicks in it's very loud. It gives me a chance to answer it before it blasts me out.
I just bought a new htc 10 and quickly noticed this annoying sound fading in issue, searched online and this seems to be the only place talked about it with no solution, does everybody else really okay with this??
I guess at least it sounded fine when using headphone, but with this speaker fading crap everything sound like its echoing right now. This NEEDS to get solved.
Any solution ?
I came here to search for any ways to turn this "feature" off (and that's what it is, despite how nobody asked for it or wanted it). Looks like nobody has found any solutions. But here's my theory anyway:
The "fading in" volume effect must be a function of the Boom Sound software. It's a noise gate. And it sucks. For instance, try listening to any music that has any hard hits around any silence (a good example is "Brain Stew" by Green Day). It's really annoying.
I wish somebody could figure out how to disable the Boom Sound software altogether.
According to Google, https://www.google.com/search?newwi...0i22i30k1j33i22i29i30k1j33i21k1.0.leWX0kmgR6I it's a known Feature of Android 5, and many people complain about it, but there is no way to disable it.
Some people can workaround the issue, on some rom, with some apps or players; there is no universal solution.
In the best case, some chat app will not bell if they are already full screen; and this is an issue for me because if I have my phone plugged, and display timeout is 1h, then, it won't bell for incoming messages, and if I am >1m from it, I won't know people are talking to me. That's why I try to always make all apps always bell. But, if I am listening to music, the permanent bell that comes with intense chat may turn the music off all the time.
I not sure if I shall downgrade my phone to Android 4, 2.2, or 1.8 ...
.. arg, I am stupid, those versions have never been ported for my most recent phone.

Can someone upload SecEmail_Tablet.apk?

Hello! I use N5120 (4.4.2 Samsung stock, rooted and deodexed)) . I recently I configured Email for POP access, and I noticed that I don't have email sound notification. (Notification sound is selected, and when I select a notification sound, I do hear the notification sound. However, when I recieve an email, there is no sound notification.)
Does anyone experience such a problem?
I would like to change SecEmail_Tablet.apk, which works with notification sounds.
(The problem may not be with the apk, but I would like to test anyway.)
If someone can upload SecEmail_Tablet.apk, I would really appreciate!!
PS: I did not do anything, but somehow the notification sound started working!! So, no need to test a different apk. Thanks
