Question Google Messages no longer sounds an audible notification - Google Pixel 6 Pro

Somewhere in the last few weeks I have lost the audible tone when a new message arrived on my 6 Pro. It worked and then I noticed I was no longer hearing my chosen tone.
I have been through all of the settings (** I THINK **) and found nothing suspicious. I don't recalling changing any settings. I have changed the tone (mp3) that I used and that did not bring back the audible tone. I have to be frank, finding where to set the tone was a bit of a challenge. I picked a tone in my own Ringtone Folder on the phone. But then I even moved a tone or two to other folders and tried selecting from a different folder in case that would fix things - it did not. Still no tone.
It is a bit of a problem as TEXT messages are supposed to be quick but if you don't know you got one, NOT SO QUICK.
I have restarted Messages and restarted the phone. No change. I cleaned the cache, too.
Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Stupid question, but did you check system s

Yes. My phone rings.
But I now realize I'm not hearing email arrivals either. And I played music just yesterday. I don't think my sound it being shunted to any bt devices.

Using custom notification (non default) has been a hit and miss affair on my p6p since the day I got it. Sometimes works sometimes doesn't - I've give up trying to find the cause.

Try this ( AOSP messaging )
Sorry for the names of the files being not in English language. but that dark green bubble with an smile is an messaging app.
( There an AOSP calendar too, contacts too, even an clock app.

Found the issue with help from Android Forums. It was a setting in the Watch app on the phone in the Notification area. You can turn on/off notifications on the phone. But I don't recall changing those so possibly an update changed something or I was sleep walking or setting!
I did look at alternate Messaging apps. I tried Chomp but it has the same problem - probably because of that same setting.

I couldn't figure it out. Been dealing with it for two weeks. I updated my phone and didn't bother re-rooting the system cause i couldn't figure it out. Thanks, now got to re-root it again. Thanks I can't stress how happy i am.

to silent or vibrate.
Check the app's notification settings: Go to the app's settings and make sure that notifications are turned on and that the sound option is enabled.
Clear the app cache: Sometimes clearing the app cache can help resolve issues with notifications. Go to your phone's settings, select Apps, then find Google Messages and clear the cache.
Restart your phone: Sometimes a simple restart can fix notification issues.
Uninstall and reinstall the app: If none of the above steps work, try uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it from the Google Play Store.
If none of these steps work, you may want to reach out to Google Support for further assistance.

[Q] missing notification vibrations

Hi there,
I have a problem with my notification vibrations. When I receive a call the phone vibrates as expected, but when I receive a text message or an e-mail there is no vibration, though configured...
I have the out-of-the Box Android 4.0.1 (the OTA update did not arrive yet :-/ ). The acoustic notifications are set to silent mode. In text messages settings as well as e-Mail settings the vibrate setting is always.
Has anybody a hint what I could try to get vibrations working for Text messages and e-mails?
regards

Click on your SMS icon then go into settings there and go all the way to the bottom and make sure it's set to always vibrate

Don't know if it would matter but after setting it to always have you rebooted your phone

Try downloading an app that lets you assign custom vibrate pattens to notifications and see if it works then

I'm having the same problem with my CDMA on a deodexed but otherwise stock 4.0.2.
It seems to be an issue (for me at least) with the Google Apps. GTalk, GMail and Google Voice Texts aren't setting the vibration when anything new arrives.
Sorry, I have nothing positive to add other than: "Me Too!"
Viel Glück
If you have lightflow installed, it can override the notification settings, make sure(if you have it) that vibration is enabled for sms
if you don't, well I see no reason not to have it its just great!
I haven't installed lightflow. I tryed installing custom vibes und set a custom vibration for an sms contact. unfortunately it still does not work :-/
Does anybody know how to contact samsung/google support? On the Samsung side I cannot choose the GI-I9250 as model and on the google side all contact links are linking to all but a mail adress or contact form

Hello everybody,
just for the files. My final solution was a hard reset of the device. right now the vibrations are working...
Actually I was not able to figure out whick App was causing the problems...

[Q] Delivery Report

I like to have delivery reports turned on for SMS messages, but when I enabled Delivery Reports I am getting a notification in the Status Bar area and a notification alert, like a new message has come in.
Does anyone know how, to disable the Notification of Delivery Reports? I want the reports, but not the "new message" like notification.
really no one has an answer for this?

Even i asked this sometime back apparently the reports will get delivered in notification only in the stock app.
I dont think there is another way around this. Just use some 3rd party app from the market..
Hi
When I had my One X new somehow I seemed to managed to set two different notifications for SMS and the delivered notification. The delivered notification was a quieter alert and I knew to ignore it as it was just a delivery report.
After wanting a clean start as I'd been messing around downloading apps etc where the phone was new, I did a factory reset.
Now I can't see how I managed to get two different types of alert, and now can only seem to get the same alert regardless if the SMS is a delivery report or a normal SMS received, which is annoying.

Go into the app settings and choose your tones. You can't set different volumes, though

but is there a way to differentiate between incoming sms and delivery report?
All I have is an option named "Notification Sound" and it seems to be a general option.
In the message app go to menu then notifications. Has the option of playing a tone or not. Can get the notification in the notification bar or not and you can chose a separate tone, no tone, vibrate, no vibrate.
This is on stock rom.

Hit thanks if this helps
Hi
Think I found out how I managed different notifications, seems to be a bit of a hack that allows different notifications for the delivery receipt and normal SMS.
1) In the HTC SMS application, Click Settings then Notifications, then make sure Received notification is selected and enable Notification sound, set the sound you want to hear when receiving a delivery receipt. I guess you could upload a silent sound file to use in order to hear nothing, but I haven't tried this. Under sent notifications uncheck notifications.
2) This is the hack, probably a bug that might get fixed. Go into Settings then Personalise, click the Sounds tab, and change the Notification sounds to the sound you want to hear when receiving an SMS.
What seems to happen now is receiving an SMS gets the Notification sound set in 2 under personalise, but a receipt report still gets the original sound set in 1. If you go back into the SMS settings the sound file name has been changed to that set in 2 but hasn't been applied to delivery receipts. If you change the sound file to something else it will be reset across receipts and new SMS, so you will need to go back into personalise to get the SMS to something different again.
I now have a much quieter sound for delivery receipts, and a louder sound I can recognise as new SMS messages.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Phil

What if I freeze "calendar" with TB?

I'm using Calengoo and syncing with Google Calendar. I was getting two audio notifications when it's time for a notification to go off. I've frozen the built in calendar function with Titanium Backup and that solved the double notification sound problem. Am I likely to see any problems after doing this? Are there any functions etc. that depend on the default calendar app?
Thanks for any info on this.
Can I ask why you didn't just go into the Calendar settings and turn off notifications?

On Stock ICS 4.0.4, I cannot even find my original calendar. I may have deleted it entirely. I use CalenGoo as well. But with TiB, you cannot freeze "Calendar Storage" or your dates will disappear. Other than that, you should be good.

I just unfroze it and turned off notifications so thanks for the suggestion. When I add an app that replaces a stock app (using Calengoo instead of stock Calendar in this case) I like to "get rid" of the original app if possible. I don't know that there's any kind of savings in memory or cpu cycles, but to me it's like taking the un-used china and putting it into a closet rather than wasting space in the kitchen for something I'm not using. Also it doesn't show up and get selected by accident. But there's always that chance that something else in the system depends on it so I posted my original question. I can say that while it was frozen, nothing else seemed to be affected. However, like a later poster in this thread, I did find that freezing calendar storage caused problems.
I tend to freeze any apps that do not need to be available to reduce ram consumption especially if the app is preloaded into ram at boot time. Also, this will speed up the boot process as well. Keeps my app drawer less congested too.

How do disable the smart notification when my phone syncs with my car's radio?

Every single time I enter my vehicle and my phone syncs with my radio, I get an annoying smart card notification that tells me that I can have the phone auto open an app. How the hell do I disable this? There isn't an "I already F**king know" option. The only way is to let it auto open a set program.
Anyway to stop this?
Unhappy LG G4 experience
Unfortunately there is no way uninstall or to stop smart notifications.
Go to settings >General >Apps>All>Smart Notice. You'll that you can't delete the app and that you can't even disable it's notifications. The only options that you have are to Force Stop or to clear the Cache which does nothing to solve the problem.
I am going to experiment with some notification blockers that I found in the play store. Unfortunately this means that there will be another app constantly running and slowing down the phone.
There are even (what should be) non native apps that they don't allow you to uninstall. You're stuck with Facebook and a bunch of others. This is absolutely unnecessary. The fact that these things are forced on you and the that the phone seems generally less customizable than my last phone, a Galaxy S3 is turning me off from the phone. It also has an intermittent glitch where the touchscreen won't recognize input.
I bought the phone because of the removable battery and SD card slot. If LG doesn't do something quickly to solve these problems I'm going to bite the bullet and return this for a Galaxy S6. Not having the removable battery and SD card option would really suck but I need a phone that works.
Good luck. Hopefully one of these blocker apps will work.
What smart card notification is being generated? Are you talking about the Smart Settings - Accessory - When connected to Bluetooth?
Or are you talking about something in Google Now, or maybe something else?
Smart Settings- > click on the 3 dots -> Settings -> Notification box. Uncheck it.

I'm talking about Smart Settings - Accessory - When connected to bluetooth. It asks me if I want to own a specific program every single time I get inside of my car. There needs to be a "Don't ask me this again" selector.

Take a screen shot of when the phone's actually giving you the message.
This is a bit late, but you need to change the notification in the smart notice/weather widget's settings. Took me forever to figure that out. I hated the "listening to solitaire with headphones, would you like to open solitaire when you plug in headphones?"
B3tterthanhim, you are better than everyone else on here.
This was prob the #1 most frustrating thing with my original G4 (except for possibly the "quick" charger that wouldn't stay plugged into the phone.) Just got my replacement and they started rearing their ugly card-heads again.
Can't believe the solution was this simple-never even noticed that there was a settings button on the widget, and it's still a mystery as to why this isn't in any of the actual system settings (oh, of course, cuz that would actually make sense).
I could literally kiss you right now.
Just a guest, but take this as thanks x1,000,000!

Question MIUI 12.5.1 App default notification sounds / alerts missing

I have been using my POCO F3 for 1 month and I haven't been able to figure out how to set the default notification sounds to basic apps like Facebook, WhatsApp or Outlook. I want their notifications to sound with the default sounds, not a personal or system default one. It's annoying to listen all apps with the same sound notification.

To solve it i just delete app data but this is terrible solution
Hi,
I hope I understand the problem. If you go into the individual app settings there you will also find the option to set the alert sound.

Yes, every app has the individual settings but they take the general sound alert configured to the phone in settings. That's the problem, actually.
I found a solution to this issue but I cannot execute it without rooting my phone: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...one-locale-and-online-playing-possible.61462/

I was able to do it, go to the Xiaomi themes app, then profile, then settings and un select "use theme ringtones" only downside is that you will have to clear data of affected apps in orde to work .

Sorry I didn't understand, do you mean that for every app I want to set a sound I have to delete all the data for that app?
That is correct. I ended up resetting the phone, then first thing to do unable "use theme ringtones" and finally start downloading all my apps.
1. Set notif to none. 2.set each app with sound you like.
