Hello all,
I updated my Note 4 yesterday via ATT's OTA. It's now 6.0.1.
The problem is that I get extra notification sounds whenever I get a text, a normally silent pop-up notification now has a rising dual-tone beep, every change by Profile Scheduler + has the beep, literally every little (even automatic) changes to my phone are now announced via audio.
The system volume is all the way down. I can't find the audio file responsible for the noise in any of the system or UI folders.
I'm at my wit's end, as I've looked through every app that can be causing this.
"Do not disturb" doesn't affect the issue.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I don't know why this is, but it's frustrating beyond explanation: Every once in a while the volume of my device changes. This is not an "official" change, as I always have this thing at the lowest volume possible, but every once in a while after a reboot or just out of nowhere, that lowest volume most definitely becomes louder. I'm accustomed to a low volume, so for my notification and ringtone to suddenly be louder always startles the hell out of me.
I cannot figure out why this is, and I realize the number of things that could be causing this is dependent on what apps I have which are far too numerous to list, so I'm hoping someone else has had this problem and knows the solution.
Thank you all in advance
Cm12 has a setting in sounds and notification that gradually increases volume over time. If you're on sense there is a setting that increases the volume if the phone is in your pocket or turned face down.

Unfortunately this isn't it - I have "Pocket mode" and "Quiet ring on pickup" both unchecked (unrooted, stock). I also thought it might be somehow tied to Media volume, as the app I notice this primarily in is Google Hangouts (that's about the only sound-notification I get outside phone calls), but that's at a vol of 1 along with everything else.

I have no idea then. I had volume issue with hangouts in particular in the past but it was from the volume being to quiet. Maybe try a different ringtone for it. I'm not sure what else to suggest.
I can't get alarm volume back to normal in Uber Driver app.
It so happens Uber Driver app decided to use "alarm" volume type for trip alerts. I personally thinks it's a very bad idea because this volume type is not shown when you expand the volume control overlay, at least in a Samsung S9+. I'm going to raise it with Uber but I don't think they are going to change it, because they have an option of using the loudest volume for trip alerts, so if they use any other volume type, it disrupts use of other sound outputting apps such as music or ringtone. Even if they are OK to change it, it will be thrown in the backlog for a long time before it gets rolled out. This does not address my direct problem.
So in order to control this volume type, I had downloaded several volume control apps which showed this volume type, but now the volume seems stuck at the lowest level! I'm losing trip alerts in Uber Driver app which voids my chance of making money when driving for UberEats. This is really frustrating.
I suspect the reason it's stuck at lowest volume level consists of the following:
My alarms are set to start from lowest volume and increase, because I usually can wake up or hear the alarm go off at lowest volume. I don't need to startle myself. So everyday from the wake up alarm, the alarm volume is reverted back to lowest.
One or some of the apps I installed for volume control must have bugs. They do not unlock the volume when they are uninstalled.
Or, it could be as simple as from some point on, the Samsung or Android system no longer allows control of alarm volume from "the outside"?
I had done a settings reset, did not fix the issue. I do not want to be forced into doing a full factory reset including apps and data. And I don't have the time to write an app to check what volume type or parameter is causing this issue. And I don't think those volume boost apps will help, because currently the Uber Driver app alert sounds far away, not just soft. It sounds echoed and far away. I've had a similar experience with its built in voice navigation before this problem started (and before I applied the Oreo upgrade) - the navigation sound (which is on media volume type channel) would start soft, echoed and far-away-sounding, but became normal after about 2 seconds. That problem has gone away and it wasn't too much trouble. This alarm volume problem has not gone away no matter what I did, and it is a big problem for me because of the money-making opportunities I'm missing. Strangely, the system built in alarm clock alarm sound does not have this problem. I have been turning them off before they get the chance to get louder, but even the lowest volume sound did not appear to be far-away-sounding, or too soft. The Uber Driver app alerts when they are at the lowest of the low, were not audible at normal use distance of a phone.
I did upgrade to Oreo and applied the security update which came a few days after the initial Oreo release. But I doubt that caused the issue because it was after I tried the apps that I started having this issue. The first I installed was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netroken.android.persistfree, which contained adds and I uninstalled. Second was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.loadlynx_jp.vollynx.free and third was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.hp.volume as an attempt to fix this issue. I did reinstall the first one and checked and unchecked the lock volume tick box, did not make a difference.
How can I get control back on my alarm volume? Please help.
Going through the settings I am able to change the sound settings for ringtone, media, notifications, etc. However, after some unknown period of time they get reset to a default state without any user input. This default state includes setting the ringtone at about 80%, which is way too loud. I am trying to set the ringtone to about 20% and want it to stay there. It is a problem because my wife is a schoolteacher. And with the pandemic, she teaches children on Zoom calls, and the loud ringing of my phone disturbs her children's classes. Is there a way to stop the phone from automatically resetting the ringtone to 80% volume? It sounds like a bug in the Samsung One UI. Has anyone else experienced this problem? This is on an Xfinity provided Galaxy S20+ in case that part is relevant.
Hello, I have been having this problem with my previous s10+ and it has continued into my zfold3 so this is not specific to the zfold3 but it is where I am experiencing this issue currently.
So the problem is when I am in a call and someone texts me I get a barely audible notification sound that I almost never actually hear. I have gone into the in call settings and only see an option to turn on/off in call notifications but no customization such as what tone to use nor the volume. I also tested this with notification volume set to around 25% vs 100% and it goes from no audible sound at all to a ding that is barely hearable in a completely quiet setting, but once you are in an actual real world situation of talking to someone you will not hear it.
I talk on the phone while using headphones, specifically buds live editions. I include this info in case its relevant, but I have tested while not using the earbuds and had the same result so I don't the headphones are the problem.
Am I missing something in the settings somehow where I can actually have control of in call notifications? With my previous phone I dont remember having this issue early on. After at least a year of using the s10+ this issue started happening and I couldnt figure it out, got the new phone and purposely did not connect the transfer cable and set it up and transfered files manually to avoid potentially having a bad setting transfer over and continuing this problem. Yet the problem still continues regardless. My best guess is its something that started after a big UI update or something like that. Hoping someone can give me some insight or advice on fixing this cause its causing me a lot of strife.
Heya,
so, as the title says, I'm having issues muting the notification and app sounds, while still allowing phone calls to get through and ring the phone out loud.
In the past, this was achievable by the Do Not Disturb mode. Right now however, it doesn't mute notifications anymore, as that is now done by the new "silent" mode. But that one also mutes incoming calls, which is completely unusable for me (I have occasional on-call nights when I need to be available on my phone, even if I'm sleeping, yet find the constant pinging of the apps super annoying).
The only working solution I found was to go into notification settings and block notifications from most of the very frequent apps... Which is annoying, as I also have to not forget to toggle the notifications back the next day.
Is there still a way to achieve the "Mute media and notifications, keep calls" combo in Android 12 + MIUI 13? Thanks!
On most phones the phone ringtone and notification volume is separate, is that not the case in your device?

Unfortunately not, instead, I have media, calls and alarm clock (as seen in the screen).
If I mute media, I still get notification and call sounds. If I mute the bell, I no longer get either. Dnd has no effect on the notification sounds.

This certainly sucks, can't every smartphone company share good things from each other instead of adopting all the bad changes. look around on Google maybe there are apps for this.

Hey have you found any solution? As I'm also struggling with same problem
It sucks, but until they fix it, you can use this app.
On the downside, it not only mutes sound, but completely mutes the notification including the badges , though. Anyone please post if you have a better solution.
i know im late. but i found a fix. (kinda) if you remove your notification sound completely. through settings, notifications and vobrations, notification sound and then while in the themes app. ringtone, and then no romg tone. even tho i thaught it changed the ringtone. if you go through settings first. ot will change the notification sound and not the ringtone. hope this helped
While waiting patiently for A13 ROMs for my current daily driver to mature a bit more I am using a silent audio file for the notification sound. I can't believe all these years MIUI still doesn't have an option to unlink calls and notification volume.
