Text Message Tone with new 1.4 update - Huawei Watch

All I really wanted from the speaker update was a tone when text messages arrive. Shouldn't it use the ringtone volume?
I assumed this would be an obvious use of the speaker. Can anyone explain to me why this does not work and if there are any work arounds. I've tried the native Samsung Note 5 native messaging app, hangouts, google messenger and Verizon messenger+. Yes I checked and sound is on and volumes are turned up (media volume, ring volume and watch ringtone). Thanks

agreed 100%...would love to have sound on notifications.

Have you tried the lightflow app. I believe it will do what you want.

Thanks great suggestion. I wasn't really familiar with this app but I believe I got it to work with my messaging app. Fantastic.
Now for Notifications....can't seem to get it to work. I assume the "Notifications - All" setting should do the trick but no luck. Any thoughts?

I think you need to make sure media volume is turned up on the watch.

I wasn't able to get LightFlow to give notification sounds either on the watch. I agree too, that's the use of the speaker I was most looking forward to. I'm sure a developer will make something that runs on the watch & will play a notification sounds when it intercepts a notification coming through.

mayby with tasker?

I don't think LightFlow has any control over sound notification, only vibration notification. At least that's all I see in the Play Store description:
Code:
Light flow allows you to take control of the notifications on your device.
It's main features are:
- Controlling the notification LED for phones that have them (cycling colors through outstanding notifications)
- Sound control, including repeating sounds
- Vibration control, including custom vibration patterns and repeating vibrations
[B]- Android wear vibration support[/B]
- Sleep times
- Lock screen based notifications (on phones that support live wallpapers on lock screens)
- Contact specific notifications for certain notification types

Lightflow has a sound tab and I have successfully used lightflow to send SMS related sound notifications (and various vibrations). I cannot get "app" based notifications to work unless they have an SMS option.

Now on Google Play, as "Smart Wear Notification".
Works like a charm. With sound notification and/or reading text. May work with many apps though I only have tried it with the standard android message apps.
Finally getting what Android Wear should have provided from the beginning along its sound notification for calls.

so if I read all these correctly.. the naitive huawei sounds are for Calls and Alarms only? Notifications make no audible sound ? I just got my watch today and I know when I went into the sound volumes, they are all turned up and I could hear sounds.. but when I get an Android Messages SMS or Hangouts message.. the watch only vibrates.. and doesn't play a sound..
Thanks!

Right now I am using this app..

Separate ringtone & notification volume

Does anyone know why ICS no longer appears to have the separate volumes for ringtones and notifications? Or was that a Touchwiz thing on my old Galaxy S?
More to the point is there any way to grt them separated as I used to have Tasker silence my notifications overnight and I don't want calls silenced too!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Can't really help with separating the two volume levels but if that's your problem you could simply let Tasker set the notification tone to "silent" instead of turning the volume down, assuming the is a "silent" tone (there is on honeycomb).
I found the same problem today buy fortunately my profile app Quick Profiles Pro lets me set different volumes for ringtone and notification and it works OK.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Good idea gokpog - unfortunately I've got different notifications for different apps, so I don't think this would work
chandlerweb - I'll have a look at Quick Profiles Pro. Have you actually received a phone call while notifications are silent?
James.
Has anyone found a workable solution to this yet? I also use separate alerts per application so the Quick Profiles app doesn't do quite enough to work for me.
I used quick profiles pro for this exact purpose and when I tested it by calling it from another phone, whichever volume (ringer or notification) was set quieter was the default for phone calls also. I like to leave the phone ringer on and notifications silent when sleeping for emergency purposes and also while working sometimes. This is a major fault with ICS unless I'm overlooking something.
No separation of ringers and notifications!?!?!?!
This change is a huge disappointment. Hopefully Google addresses this in a future release. The problem I was trying to solve was after I go to sleep, I want notifications to remain silent, while the ringer is set to full blast (I am always on call for work). I could schedule this with timeriffic on my Droid Incredible, but because the volume settings could not be set granularly in my Galaxy Nexus, I lost this functionality (and sleep).
I found a solution, though. I had already downloaded the paid version of Light Flow to control my status LED based on different messages that appear. I just realized it also controls sounds for each app. I can leave the global notification sound in ICS as silent and set individual alert sounds for each notification type in Light Flow. I can then set my sleep hours in Light Flow and specify that I only want the status LED to operate for each notification, and no sound during a certain set of hours.
Hopefully this helps someone. The same functionality may exist in Light Flow Lite, so you might not even need to purchase anything. Try it out. This solution would give you custom LED colors for each notification, as well as some peace and quiet at night, and custom sounds during the day.
Quicker can do it

Quicker looks like it does it, but it still won't allow me to change the volumes separately.
When I un-check "use ringer volume for notification" the notification volume slider doesn't change anything and reverts back to the ringer volume when you look at it again.
I found a solution that works for my needs. Ringleader allows you to set up profiles that you can change any or all of your individual ringtones to silent in one click.
It takes a while to configure. Once you install it you have to set all of your ringtones and alerts again using the Ringleader option for choosing alerts. If you set it as the default ringtone chooser option it simplifies the process. Once you have reset each one they will shop up in the Ringleader options list.
In Ringleader you then save a base profile. After you have a base profile saved you can edit all of the alert sounds individually through Ringleader and save new profiles.
I have three profiles. One is for normal use, one for phone calls only and one for silent. There is a simple widget available for switching them quickly.
Hopefully that helps someone else.
I still think Google needs to restore the option to separate the alerts and ringer volumes.
Try Audio Manager Pro from the market. It's a couple bucks, but allows you to create profiles and then you can toggle them from widgets independently. I used to use it to keep my ringer/notification tones THE SAME so I'd assume it works the same to separate them. Give it a shot. There's a free trial version as well.

For those receommending an app, are you SURE they work on ICS?
ICS has combined notification and ringtone volumes, so most of the apps Ive tried are not compatible. The Ringtone setting in the apps is what 'wins' and the notification setting does nothing. I use Llamma and it has this problem, dev knows about it but there is no way for it to be fixed as its an OS issue, not an app issue.
I also want this feature back as I turned notifcations silent at night, and have custom ones for several apps. Ringtone stays on.

rabscuttle mentioned RingLeader earlier. I've been using RingLeader Pro on my GNex, and it works pretty good. It won't let you control the notification volume separately, but, once set-up properly, you can easily silence notifications as needed. Once installed, you have to go into each app that has it's own notification sound (system notification sound, text msg, gmail, facebook, etc.) to set the notification sound. With RingLeader installed, it shows up as an option when setting sounds. Pick it instead of Android System. When all done, open up RingLeader, and each of those apps will be listed. From there you can create different RingLeader profiles. To create a profile to silence notifications; from RingLeader, select each app to set the notification (then use Android System when inside RingLeader) and select Silent. Do that for each app to silence at night, including the system notification sound, and then save profile. It has a widget for quick profile switching, and a Tasker plugin if you wanted to have profiles changed based on time/location.
I am using LIama to silent the notification based on location and times.
Hi guys,
I've just written an app to combat this exact annoyance with ICS. I hadn't found a solution I liked after being on ICS with my Sensation for a few weeks, so I decided to write an app myself.
Currently looking for beta testers. Head on over to my thread in the Sensation area if you're interested in helping me out and getting a free version of the app to use.

[Q] Unlink notifications and ringtone volume?

Has anyone found a way or an app to unlink the ringtone and notification volume? This is a real deal breaker for me. I need to find a way to be able to set the phone on a "phone only" mode at night so that only the ringer is on.
This is a new issue with ICS. It was available on older version of android.
I've been searching for this as well; so far nothing. Audiomanager (pro) can't set them individually. I guess we'll have to wait for custom ROMs or a Google update to get the 'old' behavior back.
I'm pretty sure they changed it after froyo.

With Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my Galaxy Ace I was able to set volume for notifications and ringer individually.
This is killing me. I need to set just the ringing on without having notifications make noise. Does anyone have any ideas?
same issue here. I solved it by downloading a silent mp3 and adding it to my notifications folder. I can then choose it within the profile app I use for my sleep profile. phone still rings but notifications are using the silent mp3.hth I use "profile" but same strategy should work with any similar app.
Yeah, this really annoys me too. My ringtone is plenty loud with the Volume+ app. Only notifications are still very quiet. Really need to boost the notification volume without blowing out the speaker with my ringtone!
I suppose one could just record a louder notification mp3.
But it's a workaround for something that shouldn't need a workaround!
Try downloading Quick Settings from the market. They allow you to adjust the notifications volume separate from the ring volume. They have six different volumes you can set.

It's a cool program, but unfortunately the two are inextricably linked. Quick settings lets you pretend to set different levels, but it doesn't stick. Try having separate volume levels, close that setting, and open it again.
OS problem unfortunately. Really short sighted of them to remove a clearly useful feature.

I ended up doing this too. The only issue here is all apps have to now use the default notification tone or they will not go to silent. I guess this will have to work for now.

This doesn't work in ICS. The two volumes are linked for some dumb reason.
Hoping for a fix on this one soon as well. I need to be able to hear my notifications when I am at work but I can't have my ringer going off at obscenely loud levels.
Same here, really hoping they bring back that functionality to unlink notification and ringer volume.
For me the ringer volume is too low, so I want it on max, but then my notifications are extremely loud and I really don't need the whole office to know I just got an email/text/tweet etc.!
bump to see if anyone has found a way to do this.

Hi all,
This has been bugging me since moving to ICS also, so I wrote an app to work around it! I just published it today.

I have been using an app called "Smart Sound Profiles".

It is a paid app, but there is a free trial version to try it out for a few days.
It works like a charm on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus on JB 4.1.1

Update to jellybean, not sure about stock but every custom jellybean rom i have tried gives you the option to decouple notifications from ringer, also some custom roms have an option to custom preset a quiet time period start time and end time, i have not tried it myself but believe there are other settings in quiet time to further customize sound output. Jellybam 3.3.0 had it i am pretty sure but check latest features and changelogs in jellybam thread OP, there are plenty of good jellybean roms with these features and jb is far better than ics my current rom whilst totally excellent and ultra fast doesnt support quiet time but has the delink notifications option.

How do I get my notifications like this:

Here's what I want:
Phone gives no sounds or vibrations unless my FAVORITES call me. When they call me the phone VIBRATES only. No sound.
For all other notifications (texts, 3rd party notifications, emails, etc...) I want the LED to pulse. But the phone won't make a sound or vibrate. Then when I wake my screen, I see the notifications on my screen.
Right now I have it on priority only with CALLS from favorites only coming through. Volume all the way off and set to vibrate only. The LED pulses when I get texts, emails, etc. but I do not see the notifications on the lockscreen when I wake the phone. I did for awhile and I must have changed some setting because now they are not there. So I'll see the pulse, then I have to unlock it and the status bar shows the notification symbol for text, email etc..
Any help?

I don't understand. Almost all, if not all apps allow you to change the notion sound. Open the app in question and drill through it's settings menu and you'll find an option to change the notification sound.

For calls, go to settings, sound, phone ringtone. You can set a different ringtone for different callers to. You have to open their contact info, click the hamburger menu, and select set ringtone.
Gmail: This can't be done in general settings, which is great because you can set different sounds for different email accounts. Swipe right to open the side panel, scroll down to the bottom and select settings. Then select the email account. Select manage notifications, expand advanced, then sound and change to whatever.
Messages: Settings, notifications, sound.
A lot of apps can do this, some can't. Facebook you USED to be able to, but I can't find it anymore. Anyway, hope this helps. Google has made it a little cumbersome to change the sounds for some reason...
It is definitely kinda cumbersome to change the sounds, but the option is definitely there. Facebook in particular is really annoying to change sounds since you can play a different sound for every notification type.
Go to the notifications settings for your app, app info -> notifications, and you can then select the notification you want to change, then tap Advanced and you can change the sound that's played.

Words with Friends was notifying with a sound even though I had it turned off in the app. Looked at pretty much the same notification setup as FB, sure enough, there it was... But why Google?

No LED Notifications

This is hands-down the best phone I have ever used, but I am quite disappointed that the LED notification light was omitted from the hardware.
I was hoping I could use the NoLED app to display notifications instead, on the always-on-display, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone know of any way to display notifications (i.e. text messages, emails, missed calls, etc.) on the always-on-display?

I contacted Huawei about this. I received a canned response, but if enough people request all notifications on always-on-display, maybe they will listen.

This is hands-down the best phone I have ever used, but I am quite disappointed that the LED notification light was omitted from the hardware.
I was hoping I could use the NoLED app to display notifications instead, on the always-on-display, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone know of any way to display notifications (i.e. text messages, emails, missed calls, etc.) on the always-on-display?

Disable messaging and install Google phone and Messages. Mark them as default apps and give them proper rights and you'll have all notifications (home and lock screen). Don't know for Gmail, I use email.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Looks like messages work - I see it displayed on my AOD now.
Not sure about Google phone. I don't see this app on the Play store...
Would also like notifications for WhatsApp, but that doesn't seem possible.

Not sure about whatsapp. Install this phone (the last beta) and give it all required permissions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218

Thanks - will give it a try.
Huawei always on display only for Huawei app, 3rd party apps won't display on the screen. I don't know why did they make this stupid always on display, make no sense. I just shut it off, I don't need to look at the clock and date.
No LED notification on the 20X? [emoji24]

I also missed the notification led on my EVR-AL00 coming from my Mi Mix. Its a pitty that Huawei does not show all notifications on the always on display.
In the last days I evaluated some of the available amoled always on apps in the play store.
Finally I now use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson as daily driver.

Compared to other available amoled always on apps it has several advantages:
Shows weather
Displays notification icons
Has optional a simulated notification led
Notifications can be previewed directly
It works for me with direct fingerprint unlock (others close the always on and you have to rescan again in the normal lock screen)
It also has some disadvantages:
Notification Led color and size cannot be customized
It offers a flashing edge, but this cannot be configured a lot and does not use the whole screen, which looks like bad
Weather only shows one configured location, no tracking based on GPS (it cat be set by GPS manually)
To get it work...
Disable Huawei always on
Set all rights for Autostart manually for this app
Exclude it from battery optimization
Give it all rights (I dont use the Cutted Edge feature, so it is not necessary to give draw over other apps right)
Configure the app without Open Camera on slide to left, it does not work
There is another app which has the best looking edge lightning https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe But I did not manage to see edge lighting + notification icons in this app and I always had to scan fingerprint twice.
I Have chines version AL00 and no problem with notification without led. Apk NoLed working perfect and I no longer miss the diode I was used to in Note 10. It was only possible to play in the settings and I'm happy. So i solved the problem with Nova launcher when I installed apk Fluid N.G. All I miss is a double tap on display on the Note 8, but I've already used to unlock my face or connect Xiaomi Stratos watch.
Yes works well for those that use always on display, but not if you don't.

Yes but I can not see why it is not used when it is the only way to display a no LED diode notification. The app has no effect on the battery life and I have a SOT over 13h and I usually spend over 2 days! Who has trouble with Always on display?
Good point. But led blinker is nice.

Yes, led blink is nice, but Mate 20X does not have it, which is a shame and I do not understand it because the Mate 20 diode is right over the camera in the tear ...
Just check out a YouTube video, the honor view 20 has a led notification light on the top. Mate 20 and pro also has it. Only mate 20x doesn't, that's sad!
NoLED is cool but the fingerprint sensor doesn't work properly, you have to press the power button first to be able to unlock with fingerprint.
Anyone knows a workaround or similar app? I've seen several for the OP6 but they don't seem to work with our phone.
