Android 10 notification sound issue - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hello everyone.
Got a custom notification sound, yet sometimes it plays half of it or less, just stops in a middle of it
Tried different sounds, same thing happens every time, stock ones plays fine though
All custom sounds located at default folder "notifications"
Anybody had this issue? Is there a fix?
Really anoying, had to downgrade back to 9
Tried updating through OTA and Sideload, tried factory reset too

I forget what the maximum size of the sound file is, but I had your problem with one that was too big. Check the size of the stock sounds and if yours is bigger, use a sound editor to change the sampling rate so it is about the same size as the stock ones.

The size of my sound is just 6Kb, stock is 20Kb, so it's not the reason, i guess
I noticed that stock sounds have silence at the end, something like half a second, mine's dont, file quits when music stops, maybe that's the point
I'll try adding extra seconds of silence to my sounds, hope this works
Thanks anyway!)

Ring once

I am looking for a ring manager where the phone ring once and then vibrate or ring once and silent.
From my super cool Galaxy S2 4G
Me too. I use semi silent.

That's kinda easy to do. Make a ringtone that is short and doesn't repeat. The phone will only play it once, as opposed to playing it in an endless loop. I never figured out exactly what was the difference in the file that would make one file repeat and one not, even though they were the same format, file extension, sampling rate, channels, and bitrate. Stock sounds repeat but i've never been able to make a custom one that repeats, I've just copy pasted in a sound editor with the sound until the ringtone is like 30 seconds long.

[Q] Wireless charging sound notigfication

Hello,
I read a lot of threads about removing it but nothing works... I found the sound file (.ogg) for charging error and replaced it by an ogg with blank sound, it works, but every time I put my lg g3 on its wireless charger, I got this sound (in maximum volume!! Even if I have the volume low). I can't ear that anymor! It's too annoying...
I looked for the file WirelessChargingStarted.ogg in the system/media/sound/ui dir, but there is not, so the sound is the standard notification sound... I've created it with this name, with blank sound, but it doesn"t work, it always play main notification sound...
Please heeeeelp!
Thanks
You may have renamed your replacement file wrong so its still referring to that default sound. Here's a blank :01 I use. Try putting it in /system/media/ui

I did some testing on this too and found the same results. I'm pretty sore that is not the file that controls this sound. I have a Verizon LG G3.
Seems obvious that it should be that file, but it's not.
I'll be following this thread closely.

Figure out which file is the charging sound (for USB charging its LG_Cable_Connect.ogg) and rename the file I posted to it and paste into folder. Any other changes you made you should revert to the stock files and names.

That's exactly what I've done... But still this sound (notification one, same as all other notifications but in full volume).
I've saw in the settings.db file the name of the notification sound (WirelessChargingStarted.ogg). It didn't exists. So I created one with blank sound (with soundforge), I saved it as ogg file and named it WirelessChargingStarted.ogg, I put it in the dirctory UI (see path in my 1st post). But it dosn't changed anything...
Actually, I just remembered that I checked all of the sounds in that directory and none of them were the sound it makes when wireless charging starts.
You'd think it'd be obvious that WirelessChargingStarted.ogg is the file that controls it, but if you play that sound, it's not the sound the phone makes when wireless charging starts.
So where is the sound the phone makes then?
The sound it plays is the notification sound.
The file is the good one because in the database settings.db, the filename is this one and the path is the correct one... Usualy when the phone doesn't find the sound file, it plays the notification one...
I just figured out that it's playing crystal.ogg in system/ui/notifications
If I rename that file, nothing plays when I connect to Qi.
So there's our answer. Don't know what other system notifications might be affected as well. Crystal.ogg is not set as my default notification tone.
Oh! Goog news, I thought it was playing the selected notification sound! I try it and come back to tell you.
Ok, I made changes and... It works!
So this is the solution for the LG G3, thanks!

Great. Seems pretty bizzare that they'd use a random sound in the notifications folder rather than the one that says wirelesschargingstarted.ogg
If you want to use crystal.ogg for something else, just move it into sdcard\notifications and that should make it available as a custom notification sound.

I already tried to copy in the notification, but it seems the system only accepts .mp3 files in this directory, as the Crystal sound does not appear in the notifications choice...

I haven't seen anyone mention this so, if you are rooted and install G3 Tweakbox you can remove the wireless charging notification altogether. Simple one check box selection and you're done.

Which option exactly are you taking about? Whichever one it is, it doesn't work to stop the sound, at least not on my Verizon phone.

Go to Notification Tweaks section. Select "Hide Wireless Charging dialog". Place on charger, no sound. :good:

One note, you may need to reboot the phone for the setting to take effect. I believe I ran into this myself. Thus select the option, reboot and test.

Hi, which wireless charger are you using? I have a Nexus 4 wireless charger, don't know whether it would fit with LG G3.

[Q] [8.4] Lack of sound with speakers working properly.

Guys,
Don't know why or how this happened but from one day to another my tablet has lost the capacity to produce sound for example with music, youtube etc.. But the speakers DO work because when I press the shutter button on camera it makes the kwnown sound, when a notification arrives it sounds it and so forth....
I've changed roms, made factory reset, now I'm back with the stock samsung rom but still can't get sound to work with basically any applicacion.
With headphones there isn't a problem, its just the speakers. So weird.
Any ideas?

I have a feeling the speakers are damaged from water damage or something to that lines, this isn't fixable with software

Insane Notification volume

Is there some way to control Notification volume? It is insanely high and there seems to be no option to control it. Usually it is linked to other volume setting, but lowering any of the three volume sliders doesn't seem to take any effect.

I'm on latest stock normal Oxygen.
Then i gues you dont use any Sound Enhancement Apps? If not, try Safe mode... Maybe it helps you to find the trigger
Cheers man

What notification tone are you using? I noticed that some that i had saved from zedge etc.. depending on their frequency are VERY loud. while others arent. I have recently started using the OOS default tones rather than download ones simply because of this.
eg: The tone "HTC Single Beep" (Zedge) is excruciatingly loud. The frequency is just right to send a ring thru your rears.

I'm on OP defaults so far, got the device two days ago and didn't change anything.
Facebook notification for example is really loud. As is everything else.

I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one experiencing this!
I don't think it's a bug or something, just the minimum notification volume being too high.
I'm on stock 3.2.4 too (unlocked BL, no root) and it affects all the ringtones (both calls and notifications), not only some. EG default OP sound, Facebook, Outlook, etc.

It surely is a bug. Normally it should be linked to another volume setting (Ringer I think), which is also really stupid, but working. This seems like the notification volume is set to really high value and not linked to anything, which makes it impossible to control.

Mmh, ok, I thought that minimum volumes were just extremely high, never raised notif.volume higher than minvalue... Will check it!

If it is possible to make the notification even higher... That would be bad. The windows in my office would shatter.
still no solution for this?basic fail.
I have the same problem et no solution with the Oxygen OS i think.

Notification sounds for apps not staying set

One thing I have noticed on the 3 so far is, for many of my apps, the notification sound I set for it never plays. I always get the default phone notification sound for those apps.
When I go in the app to check or change it, its still on the the notification sound I picked in the first place.
Why are certain apps, which allow you to pick a different sound, only playing default sound, while others that I changed are playing that changed sound? For instance, Ive been using TweetCaster for over 5 years now. Always had the same notification tone set for it and it played perfectly on every phone before the P3XL. The file is still in the Audio file for Notifications as it should it. It plays the sound when I click it. But when an update for TC comes through, it just plays the default notification sound in the phone setting.
EDIT: After much searching, I finally found a thread on Reddit that explained how to do it. It's a way deeper dive than just the usual pool I was used to...
