70% sound problem FIX - Epic 4G General

In the main thread regarding bugs 'n' fixes, one of the bugs is some people are experiencing 30% sound loss in their phone. I had this problem too when I was setting my notifications ringtone custom. Settings > Sounds > Volume, then set Notification sound all the way up!
It's not a bug at all, the default system sets your notification sounds to about 60-70%.

Well I'll be damned... It worked! It really really worked!

Muting certain notification sounds on Nexus S 4G...

I have had a Nexus S 4G for a while and I'm getting a lot of notification noises whenever the 4G signal is lost or acquired and just getting random notification noises overall. Is there a way to turn these sounds off on the stock ROM or is there a ROM that allows control over all notification sounds? It seems like the stock ROM only allows one notification noise for everything pretty much.
Have you tried going into each individual app and check everywhere in your settings app? For each app and section (most) there should be a place to check/uncheck notification sounds. You could also try a market search for something relevant :\?

HTC One 4.3 list of features

Guys don't crucify me if there is a list out there I just couldn't find it using the xda app
Is there a distinct list of new features for this update. I know it will differ from the gpe 4.3 but I'd like to know evergthing that HTC has thrown in to coalesce with 4.3
If anyone has the official thread for this then please post it and maybe it could go in the sticky with some other links such as 4.1 ,4.2 updates etc
Cheers

Actually, lockscreen widget and lowered sound volume (as well as toggles in the notification panel) were part of the 4.2 already.
Camerafix is also a very doubtful topic.
Android 4.3 in HTC One incarnation doesn't bring that much to the table, sure always better to have the newest one if possible. But nothing to go crazy about.
Lowered sound volume? That better not be part of the update. That will ruin a good thing IMO

I think from those in the states that hot left behind with 4.1.2 jumping to 4.3 is a big upgrade .

Well, there's the TRIM thing that Google finally implemented. Will help stop the phone from becoming slow over time.

you can always turn down the volume as it is now.. if they permanently lower the volume they're just hand holding the people who don't have any common sense..
From 4.1.2 to 4.3, I've noted:
-Long press Home for menu (no more 3 dot bar at the bottom), swipe up from Home for Google Now (enabled in Display, Gestures and Buttons)
-Quick Settings in Notification
-Autobrightness is better balanced (IMO, but definitely changed)
-Notification vibration pulses longer than before
-Camera shutter seems faster
-Better integration of features in Notification. For example, phone call notification has call back and text options.
-Google hangouts message preview in Notification.
-Better battery life, I would say about 15% based on how much juice I now have left at the end of the day.
Others?

Here are a few minor ones I picked up after the update (in addition to what you contributed).
-Soft buttons fade in and fade out
-TV App updated (so much better imo, but missing still missing some basic intuitive tasks [you can't delete a room..?])
-Power Saver quick toggle removed from notification swipedown
-Can show battery % level after enabling it from settings
-Headphone output decreased (I swear, it used to be louder at max settings)
Those are pretty much what i picked up in addition to what was mentioned above.

Also, you now have to turn the TV app off in Notifications. Used to be able to back out if using the Back button.
I wish they made the battery percentage a new battery icon instead of an additional item in the notification tray.
I've actually noticed a better battery life too
I'm starting to prefer sense over stock for some strange reason aswell

Would not call it a feature, but there is a new icon in the notification bar when NFC is turned on. Kinda annoying.
Telus for those on TT that can't easily read signatures.

I noticed you wrote "Power Saver quick toggle removed from notification swipedown". How do you do that without disabling power saver mode?

I think he's referring to the annoying space it takes up in the notification shade
I've posted about this as its now baked in and you can disable the notification in the apps option and still have power saver running

Don't understand how people can complain about too loud sound having an option to turn it down?

Because the lowest volume setting is still too loud. So it's left between obnoxiously loud, really loud, loud and mute.

Getting two notification tones when I get a text?

This is confusing, using either the stock app or a different messaging app if the notification sound is different than the default. Such as the default notification sound is Whisper but I set in the SMS app to be Good News. If the screen is off it plays Whisper THEN Good news back to back. But if the screen is on it doesn't do that.. I rebooted and it stopped but then came back. wtf
This only seems to happen if the screen is OFF if the screen is ON it doesn't happen..
Edit: I think i found the issue. Device -> Accessibility -> Notification Reminders - Had this on but only to alert after 10min but it seems to be bugged and causes two alerts at the same time.

Sound too loud on lowest setting

Hey everyone,
Just getting my note 10.1 setup and so far im loving it. Its my first tablet and the fact it has a stylus finally made having a tablet more practical for me. One thing I am not a fan of is that when I have the sound turned down to the lowest setting it is too loud. Is there any built in eq that I can use to scale the sound?
So far im using a downloaded app "Music Volume EQ" which is working but needs to be running and then it takes up space in my notifications bar which I really dont like.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I don't know about this specific app, but most apps do have an option to disable notification entries in settings. I was fed up with the Skype app persistently displaying my online status in the notification tray until I noticed an option to disable it in the app's preferences.
'might wanna try looking for it there.

I can't find the way to disable them in the settings, i did it through adb comands and use the floatify app but it have a problem with de notification bar, it overlap and it's annoying as well, i tried some other similar apps but they aren't optimiced for Oreo, do anyone of you know how to add a few seconds to the stock heads up? or an app that doesn't have so many problems, or i just have to wait a while?

When you say "heads up notification", are you referring to peeking where there's a short pop up message over the status bar? For example, every time I get a message on Facebook Messenger, there's peeking. If so, that frustrated me as well and I loved it when I could turn if off with Nougat's Power Notifications controls.
I finally found a way to disable peeking; I had to turn off sound by going to Facebook Messenger's App Info - App Notification - disable [Allow Sound]. I already use Lightflow to customize sounds/vibrations from my Nougat days. Once I disabled [Allow Sound], peeking stopped but I could still hear sound/vibration through my customization in Lightflow.
Problem solved for me.
Feel disgusting to heads up notification too.
try "Gaming Do Not Disturb"
I open it all the time to ban heads up notification
Here is how to set notification on oreo. go to setting > app And notification > then select your app for which you want to turn off or reduce importance of notification. If you select preference urgent / high / medium and low. then low means no sound no visual notification and urgent mean sound and popup.
