Ringtone volume starts low

Guys
I've searched about this issue and couldn't find a proper answer. My note 2's ringtone starts low and ascends. It seems it's a feature with all galaxy phones. Is there any way to disable it ? (preferably without rooting)

Yes there are ways to disable it (such as using Xposed framework). And yes these ways require root access. If there is a way to disable this without root, I'd like to be corrected, but AFAIK there isn't.

No root = no android system mods
This is a simple equation, if you want to override this ascending ring tone feature you should be a root user

It worked but the problem is it gives me an invisible icon on status bar all the time which there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it

I know ,i'm new to android and still learning
Just wanted to know if it's possible via root or not

That's very interesting. Didn't know that there is an app that doesn't require root access to achieve this.

Try this. Go to Settings > Application Manager > Scroll down until you find the app then click on it and Untick "Show Notifications". If that doesn't work then the app requires to be present in the notification bar in order not to be killed by the system.

Thank you

Only see Google Now / QMEMO on home swipe menu

Hi,
I only see Google Now and QMEMO icons on my LG-D885 but I've seen screens where there's the voice app and another on it.
Can I add options to it somehow?

have you disabled or frozen the voice app?

Nope, I'm rooted but I've not used titanium or xposed/xposed apps as yet for tweaking etc.I did flash a new build of firmware (10f) and can't recall if the other apps were showing in the swipe menu prior.
It's no big deal, just a curiosity. I don't even use the apps that are missing either.

How do you disable google play music?

I'm just noticing the phone comes with a lot of google bloat I wish to disable google music / google video.
on any other android phone I just go to installed apps -> uninstall updates -> disable
But on MIUI it seems the disable button is grayed out.
Is there a way I can do this without rooting?

Reminders set through Google Assistant not working

If I set a reminder through Google Assistant or manually set a reminder through Google calendar, I never get any notification when they time comes. I've had this problem for a few months now and can't figure out what the fix is. Anyone else have this problem and able to fix it?

Experiencing the same issue since MIUI 10. Went back to MIUI 9. Raised a bug with Xiaomi. Still no reply from them. Started a discussion in MIUI forum but no reply. Guess this bug is here to stay for quite sometime.

I had to enable Autostart for Google Calendar to get reminders. It allows the program to run its background processes and give the notifications.

Tried this. Didn't work. I get the notification but no sound. This is the behaviour since MIUI 10.

Fixed It!

The settings have changed in MIUI 10. That's the reason users are getting confused. Xiaomi should have mentioned it in the first place. Follow these steps to enable sound for notification of any app:
Settings > Installed Apps > [APP] > Notifications > [APP] notifications > Toggle Sound On
These settings may vary for other apps. But the general idea is to toggle sound on for that particular app notification. Hope this helps!

Thanks for this suggestion. I tried it and it's still not working for me.

Few accounts
I had similar issue, I have multipple google accouns. I found out that when I save reminders (both calendar and keep) under one of them then it would not work. But it works under another one. Still not sure why it doesn't on the first one though.

Question Disable news on left most home screen?

Has anyone found an option to disable the news on the left most home screen? I looked at the home setting and feel like I'm missing something.

Just goto settings -> Apps -> App management and Disable Google app.

That also disables the assistant which I want to keep.

One solution is to Disable the Google app and re-enable. This will fix your Google Assistant not working issue and news will be disabled untill next root.
