Background notifications/media volume while on a call - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello folks,
I have been using OP3 for few months now. I am having an issue and would like your assistance. There is no sound on notifications or media while on a phone call. This feature is important to me as I am on call most of the time and other than checking the phone, I can't tell whether or not there are any notifications. So far I have tried :
1. Checked settings in OOS 3.2.6 and couldn't find the setting.
2. Switched to CM13 Sultan ROM and couldn't find the setting.
3. Installed Xposed + Gravitybox and couldn't find anything.
Getting frustrated that this was a simple feature which worked on all my previous android phone and IOS and I can't seem to get that working in OP3. Can somebody help please ?

Any suggestions ?

several bugs with OOS 4.0

Hi, i updated my phone to OOS 4.0 with clean install 1 month ago.
since then i have several annoying bugs :
- Bluetooth issue : my phone doesn't detect my headphone Plantronics Backbeat pro. it worked perfectly before update
- widget issue : i use a widget for calendar (business calendar) for 3 years. Now this widget disappear randomly... every time i re-add it, it disappears like 2h or 2 days after.
- I don't find a way to put my phone in vibrate mode. before i just reduced volume until it's on vibrate, but now it doesn't reduce until vibrate (minimum is like 10% volume).
The only way i found is to use "do not disturb" mode, but i don't get notification anymore...
- i also have wifi issue (slow wifi, slow play store download), but i think it started before update (even though it comes from the phone and not from my internet).
Does anyone have those problems ? it's really annoying
Thanks in advance
First tip I can give to you is to update immediately to OOS 4.0.2 because this update fixes some bugs that are present on 4.0 (but I never had problems with 4.0).
1. I think this has fixed with 4.0.2
2. I think it's a problem of that app, have you contacted the developer? Do you use Nova Launcher or stock launcher?
3. For now you can't set to silent mode the phone with the volume buttons, OnePlus has changed how the buttons work and for now that problem remains (I don't like it too, but I use the slider, it's here for something right? ). You can set the phone in vibrate mode moving the slider on the upper mode and in the settings activate the vibration
4. That problem was fixed in 4.0.2 update
So update your phone as soon as you can, the update is great
thanks for your answer ! I'll update as soon as possible then and let you know.
I use stock launcher, i'll try to add other widget to see if it comes from that app or all apps.
And about the vibrate mode, that's what i did, i use the slider at top now, but i dont get notification like that... no notification from messenger, no vibration for messenger, no led signal etc etc
I'm on 4.0.2 and have the following bugs:-
-Fingerprint reader is sometimes totally unresponsive, (not even turned on,) after a full night of Doze mode. (Not set to aggressive Doze BTW.) Pressing the power button re-enables it.
-Gmail notification doesn't disappear when you go into the email you've been notified about. It only goes when you go back to the primary inbox or delete the email.
As far as I'm concerned these are minor issues. On the whole, I'm happy with One Plus and don't have any major bugs. :victory:

Good Try other widget, yes :good:
If you don't receive notification, you have to set the app to don't optimize it in the battery settings, here you have to set to don't optimize all the apps you want notification for (whatsapp, messenger, email...).
Let me know when you've updated the phone :laugh:

Top mode is "silent" and you should be getting notifications in that mode. The middle one is "do not disturb", which blocks most notifications (depending on your settings).

OK i updated, first thing i can say is that the Bluetooth still doesn't work.. it doesn't even detect my headphone.
For the rest i'll see in long term utilization
I downgraded my device to OS 3.2.8 since Nougat (both official OS4 and OS4.02 and LineageOS) has broken bluetooth.
I can connect to my car audio but it barely works. And when I try to use the phone over BT it breaks and I need to reboot OP3. Also I have problems with my bluetooth speaker (JBL Charge2+). It connects to it much slower and sometimes it stops working.
I already complained to OP3, they put me to a remote session, downgraded my phone, I tested it in Marshmallow and saw that it works, then upgraded again to OS4.02 (wasnt working) and then tried LineageOS hoping that custom roms might have it working but it behaved exactly the same.
They told me to wait for next update, but I dont think they will do anything.
Try to submit a report ticket to them. More people bugs them, more chance they will try anything.
Anyway I am already looking for another device. This is second OnePLus device I used and both had software issues. Luckily CyanogenMod was working fine on OP1 back then. Now even the custom roms cant help me.

Ongoing call window not opening

Hi, everyone.
So I've flashed the RR rom with magisk and OpenGApps on my Z2 play. Everything was working fine, but a week ago I experienced some kind of glitch. When I'm receiving a call the phone vibrates, but I can't pick the call up because it is not showing up anywhere. Similar with outgoing calls, once I press "call", the phone gives out dialing tone, but is still in contacts section without anything in notification bar. Could anyone help? This is really getting on my nerves, because I can neither pick up nor drop calls, not even talking about other things (speaker, mute, keypad etc.)
Thanks in advance

You flashed the RR 9? I had a similar problem with the gsi roms.

Nope. It's v6.2.1. This one:https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/development/unofficial-resurrection-remix-v6-2-112-t3889476
i have the same issue and i´m on stock oreo. i find the call appears if you open the phone app, then the "return to call in progress" dialog appears and by selecting that it shows the incoming call screen and you´re able to pick up. super annoying as i can´t see who´s calling or pickup until i do what´s written above. i cleared the phone app cache but didn´t sole, hope pie will solve this thing

Android 10 update now force closes all my background apps

Hello everyone, i've been experiencing this problem for a while now: every time i put an app in the background (swipe up on gesture / middle button in traditional), Android immediately closes it for me. I keep seeing in the list of open apps (long swipe up on gesture / square key in traditional) the apps I should have in the background but as soon as I open them it's like I'm starting them for the first time, not saving anything I was doing before. So far i've been able to live with it, but now I can't postpone this problem anymore.
What i tried so far:
Restarted the phone several time
Turned off adaptive battery and battery optimization
Turned off energy saving
Didn't touch anything in the developer settings
And i got another issue probably linked to this one: in the GMail app, the notifications for multiple accounts only works to the account you are viewing, not to the others. (Example: If i'm connected to two accounts, A and B, and i'm viewing B's emails, if i receive an email on A's account the notification won't work. If i receive the email on B's account while i'm viewing A's emails, it won't work either).
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Just in case you want to know i'm currently on 11.0.5.0 build.
EDIT 2: Link to my reply with a possible solution to the application issue: LINK

Xiaomi team for our device is at fault. If you want the best android experience you should buy Pixel phones.
I'm also having this problem. Seems that restart helps a bit for some time but not for long. It is really an awful experience to use the phone like this. Having the 4 GB version.
It's the first time that I'll complain about this phone! But the use is unbearable now! I have the 4gb version too! I hope the next update fixes things
As far as I know, this problem is common on our device. If the next update isn't going to fix it, then I'm switching to a custom ROM. HavocOS, RebelOS or LineageOS 17.1.
Never had this problem before but is indeed the first time I'm also considering a custom Rom too!
If you're rooted you can fix this using LSpeed app
Hello again, i apologize for being away for a while, but i had personal problems.
I just wanted to reply to my own thread because today i updated to 11.0.7.0 build, but they don't seem to have solved anything? The changelog says only
Optimization: Increased system stability. Reduced system lag

(other than June Security Patch). I'm reading the replies now, and i have to tell you that (currently) i can't root or install a Custom Rom because it would conflict with my bank's application.
So, once again, no support from Xiaomi... but the great news is that i may have found a solution for the application problem! I will link this reply to the main post, so you can find it more easily, let me know if it works for you too!
What i did:
Disabled Adaptive Battery under "Settings -> Battery ->Adaptive Battery"
Disabled Night brightness (also the plannings)
Disabled Do Not Disturb (also the plannings)
Disabled Rest mode (if any)
Rebooted the phone
Try it out with two application, and if you want to reactivate some features after the reboot, i discovered that "Adaptive Battery" creates problems only after some days since it's turned on, so i suggest to keep it disabled. For the other settings, i can't confirm anything because i haven't tried yet, so let me know.
Thanks
Finaly it worked. :good:
I was searching for this problem for a long time.
Your solution worked with me.
I want to say:
I already jave disabled adaptive battery, Night brightness and Don't disturb mode. But only Recovery mode I needed to disable it, then I rebooted the phone.
Now I can switch between applications, and no application have been closed.
Thank you
what recovery mode do you think?where can I find it? thanks

Redmi note 8 notification sound problem

Hello,
I'm from Morocco and currently using a XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 8, (64Go/4Go), running the latest version of MIUI 11.0.11.0 Global stable with Android 9.
So i'm having this really annoying problem whith the notification when the phone is closed. So basiclly the sound of the notification should come at the time of recieving the notification but in my case there is a delay of 2 to 3 min or even more than that sometimes. And even sometimes the sound is not heard at all even with the notification is recieved. Only the light bulbe for the notification is blinking.
This problem happened especially with the Whatsapp application. Everything in the notifications seetings is on, all permission are granted, locked the app in the recent app, turned on autostart, disabled battery saver even though i don't use it at all, put no restriction on the app, turned on background data. I've tried to use different network connection still the same problem. I don't seem to find a reason why would this happend and find a solution for that. I did perform a factory reset but doesn't seem to be fixed. Everything in the begining was working fine no issue at all. I don't seem to remember when it start to happend, I've asked my freinds owning the same device if they are facing the same issue all of them denied. So the question is if all the devices have the same software that they are operating on they should have the same bug or problem if i wan't to say. But not in this case. I have not installed any 3rd party app that has to do with the battery at all.
I do use my mom's phone to test this out. The phone is on everything works perfectly. I locked the phone and the problem start. It's like ther is something that shut the notifications immediately when i close the phone (dnd is not activated also battery saver as i mentioned earlier). So if there is any kind of solution to this problem please help me with or if there is a dev please let them know to fix this issue. I did reported it in the feedback section on the phone 10 times in the time of writing this thread. I'm currently waiting for the new update hoping that it will fix the problem otherwise this is really disappointing. The best selling phone in the market facing issue like this, that's not very acceptable at all. This made me miss a lot of important notifications. Hope that it will be fixed as soon as possible.
If you want to help me and you need any more info please leave me a comment and i will send them to you (screenshots of the settings etc....).
Thanks for your time.
Stay safe.
Have a nice day.

1. Turn off miui optimization under developer options
2. Give all permissions, no battery optimization to google play services and framework. Before doing this, clear data of those apps(removes google account!).
3. Check if it's added to game turbo or not
These are some more possible solutions. After checking all those, reboot once and check if the problem is solved or not.

Hello,
Thanks for you response. I've already done what you did sggest to me but still the samething always late notification sound.
It's not added to game turbo i don't even use it and it's disabled. Google play services and framework don't have any kind of restrictions whatsoever. I don't want turn off miui optimization cuz it mess up with a lot of visuals.
I think it's a software issue. Because sometimes when i want to change the ringtone and i tap on a different one it took a lit bit of time to play it same thing when changing the notification. This problem is happening when the phone is locked only.
I'm cuurently waiting for the new update with a hope that it will fix it.
Thanks again.
have a nice day.

Help with Lineage OS 17.1 S6 Edge SM-G920F

Hello everyone, im new here and i honestly dont know if this is the right place to post this.
I've installed Lineage os 17.1 a few weeks ago on my s6 edge, and now im experiencing the following problems:
- I cannot modify the call volume, neither from the drop down menu, or from the settings or during calls. The bar willgo up and down, but the volume will always remain the same. Luckly the volume is set quite loud, but almost too much for me.
- It happend already 3 or 4 times that during call my mic will not work. I can here the one on the other side, but he will not hear me. Rebooting the device fix temporarly the problem.
Has anyone else have experienced my same problems? Is there a fix to these?
Please let me know, thank you
