[Q] Nexus 5 No Notification sound with Active Display? - Omni Q&A

Is anyone one else having an issue with not getting a notification sound with Active Display turned on? All I get is the screen unlock sound which isn't very loud. Also if it is in my pocket with pocket mode turned on I get no sound at all unless I pull it out. Is there a setting I am missing?

Turn off vibration when charged

I am told when charging of the phone is complete it vibrates for a few seconds. Anyone know how to turn this off as no-doubt it will waken me?
Thanks.
Not only that, but it makes a stupidly loud pinging noise, too. It woke me up at 3am this morning. I can't find anything in the settings to turn it off.
Anyone?
I don't know why Samsung and LG thinks this is useful.
i dont wake up for anything!! i havent noticed this once yet. does it only ping/vibrate when you are charging when the phone is on? or when it off also?
Only when it's on. I think that the pinging noise is controlled by the System volume slider in the settings menu, I had it up to full which is probably what caused it to wake me. I've put it down to about 2 now but am yet to test to see if it's quieter.
I can't find anything to turn off the vibration though.
I'm yet to get my phone, so can't check, but have you checked in the sound settings? There's apparently an option for Vibration if I'm understanding page 129 of the manual.
" Vibration: Set when the device will vibrate for various events"
I'm hoping the fully charged event is one of these.
OK, so the ping isn't controlled by System, it's controlled by Notifications. Which is really stupid because if you turn the volume down on that how are you supposed to hear when you've got a text message?
Disabling 'Haptic Feedback' in the Sounds menu seems to disable the vibration part of the notification. It also disables vibration on all other UI interactions, though.
Anyone got a solution to this really annoying problem?
do you really have to have your phone so close to you when you sleep???

If you can try and get me something to go on, I can perhaps try to find out what is causing this vibration...
I am guessing it comes from the framework...

Yes, I use it as my alarm clock when I am home and travelling.

I don't have anything to go on other than that the phone makes a loud beep two times and vibrates when charged.
I mentioned it in one of previous topics covering this problem and I will mention it once again.
SGS i9000 had the same problem in one of the first firmwares. Vibrations and sounds when battery charged have disappeared starting from (I think) one of the first Froyo updates from Samsung.
Samsung will hopefully address this problem sooner or later.
I had autostarts purchased, from back when I had to worry about what was running. Looking it seems on plugging the phone to usb or charger it launches "Mtp application" guess that would be a good place to start.
On a slightly different note. Once the phone is fully charged, it stars to drain again. Is there an alarm clock app that keeps the phone around 98% then starts charging again 30 mins before the alarm is due?

But doesn't you change the sms sound from the sms app? Thats how it works usually in Androids. The notification sound is for any other notifications, but you can change different for the sms sound. Thats how it works in Nexus S at least. Same for the gmail app also.
I guess this is in services.jar
I will take a look shortly.
...uurm...dunno if this is what you guys want but
Have your mobile on silent. (Alarms will ring in silent mode)
Go to settings - sound - vibration - Only when not in silent mode
It won't vibrate nor make a sound whilst your asleep

So at least it works in that way. Thats how my phone is always at night. Good to know, my phone will come in about 1 or 2 weeks.

Please. I would be more than happy to send a donation!
There might be a solution if you are rooted...
In the folder /system/media/audio/ui there's a file called Charger_Connection.ogg and you can rename that to Charger_Connection.ogg.bak (personally I use adb and the 'mv' command, Root Explorer should work fine too).
Plugging in the USB cable now doesn't make a noise, just waiting to see what happens when it's fully charged...!
UPDATE: Nope, it uses a different noise... still looking...

[Q] mystery notification tone but no alert

Occasionally I hear a notification alert tone (it sounds like two quick chords), but no alert text is posted to the notification area, so I can't tell what app or function is generating the tone. Has anyone else had this problem? I searched the forum but haven't found any answers.

It's stock Android. I don't see a way to do that.
I've had the same thing happen. Not sure what it was or why, but it was charging when I heard it. Was not fully charged, it was only at about 80% so it can't be that.

I've had this happen before about 3-4 weeks ago but it hasn't happened since and never found out what it was. Perhaps a random app and there was an error with the notification or something? Best of luck
Try holding your phone up to your wallet, see if it makes the chime. My guess is you have a card with an imbedded chip in it and your phone's NFC is detecting it but doesn't know what to do with it, causing nothing to happen.

i get this once in a while too, when i receive a message with screen off, it just plays the notifcation sound, screen don't turn on and no notifcation in the center, i have to manually go in app to see it

Thanks for that suggestion. NFC was already turned 'off', so that's not the culprit.
I have this happen for MMS if I'm in a poor data coverage area. Sometimes the MMS will show up days later, sometimes not at all.
NFC? My credit card and my ID both have NFC so whenever I hold the two together, or when there're in my pocket together I get a short notification sound, and nothing onscreen, I was wondering what it was for a while, but then realised it was NFC. Maybe it's NFC for you too?

As I previously wrote, I have this feature turned "off".
Are you using google now at all? You might be getting notifications from something there.

Notification alert causes audio and video to pause

I purchased the Note 8.0 last week and like everything about it. However, there is one annoying issue that I have yet to resolve. I get allot of notification alerts and when watching a video or listening to music, the incoming notification temporarily pauses the video and interrupts the audio. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you resolve?

This happens with my Samsung Galaxy phone too. My workaround was to turn off most notifications. Also, I use a sound profile app to turn off the notification sounds during the work day, and I don't notice that the muted notifications affect anything I am listening to. I don't know how else to "fix" it, but perhaps someone else will have a good idea.

notification sound issue

at some point of the day i noticed my notification sound no longer working.
I got all the msgs on my notification but with out sound.
turning off and on didnt fix. only the battery pull worked.
it happened like every once a day. some times I have to do battery pull twice a day.
I had this phone for a wk now.
anyone having notification sound issue?
even the turn off screen and on sound muted.
There's a few bugs, nougat is brand new, they'll fix things. My headphone kept buzzing one time until a restart
Its not just you. And I don't think its exactly something to do with Android 7.0
If you look at how your audio menu is when you change the ringer volume, you'll see that when the phone is set to vibrate, it actually MUTES the other two sliders.. it doesn't set them to vibrate. With that in mind, it seems more likely LG has a bug, than Android 7.0 having a bug.
Having this problem as well with my H910 (AT&T). It's very frustrating indeed. What's even worse is that it seems sporadic in nature, sometimes I will get a notification chime, sometimes I won't. As skyedream said, a battery pull is the only way to get consistent notification sounds, if only temporarily.
I think I get this too. Often I pull my phone out of pocket to find I had a text that I never heard.

I had this problem too yesterday where it was just frozen. Did a restart and all seemed ok after. First time that happened.
This happens to me as well. Also, I will get double notification sounds at times. Like an echo. Or, a different sound mixed with my selected sound. A reboot fixes. Have to do it a couple times a day. Very annoying.
No sound for notifications + no web video playback
I also have same issue with notifications. No pattern on what causes this, but a reboot gets rid of this (just for sometime! and the problem is back). I have also noticed apps not working smoothly and unable to play web videos including from Youtube app and Facebook App. Overall, tad disappointed with the software quality on this set.

Good call, thanks! I also notice that even though I have Sound Settings-Volume-Touch & Feedback sounds Off, I still get haptic feedback vibration on keyboard while typing this reply to you. It goes away when I go into Sound Settings-Vibration Strength, & turn slider off for Vibrate on tap. The Settings software isn't connecting the overall Volume Profile with the Vibrate Strength settings it seems. I don't know enough to know whether this is Android or LG. Under Vibrate Strength you can control notifications too, though haven't yet tested. Hope this helps til it gets fixed.

I just tested texting...even though on quick settings slider notifications for text are grayed out, while call setting show vibrate only, in the full settings menu, under Vibrate Strength, you can slide the vibration strength up...I did this, sent myself a text, and phone vibrated the notification. I think it's messed up that I can't shut my call notification off completely, including nvibrate quickly with volume key or quick settings. Have to go into full settings menu sound & select silent. Please fix this Android/LG.

I experience the same as you. I usually clear regents and then hit restart and all my notification sounds come back and videos. I'm just wondering, are you using any type of ad blocker? I use the ad block browser and I've noticed that whenever I open my browser, that's when my notifications get muted.
Issue resolved after update
Hi, looks like this issue is resolved with the update I got in January 2017 end. But not sure what caused it to fail in first place. But as of now, all is well after the update. Cheers!
I still have this problem over here on T-Mobile. Very annoying.
Anyone ever find a fix? Having these issues on a new LG V20 US Unlocked connected to Verizon.
Bumping this to see if anyone has found a solution to this. My V10 started muting notifications when the ringer volume was set to vibrate on one of its later updates. I figured it was a glitch in my phone since I didn't see anyone else complaining about it. This was one of the reasons i decided to upgrade to a V20. I was pretty surprised that it did the exact same thing and it's apparently by design. Who in their right mind would think this was a good idea?
I'm not sure of the cause, but I had many calendar reminder alarms fail to sound over several days when I got this V20. I tried different calendar apps and ended up with one called aCalendar. It works OK most of the time, but there is still a serious issue. If ANY other kind of notification happens to sound right when a calendar alarm needs to sound, the calendar will NEVER sound its reminder notification for the alarm. I've had this happen several times with incoming text or social networking message notifications. I hear those, and then the subsequent alarm that should have sounded concurrently is silent. I've had to set 2 reminders for the same important event, spaced 10 minutes apart, to try to reduce the odds of this issue hijacking an important notification. I've not seen this exact problem ever before on any Android device. My US Unlocked V20 is 100% stock. No idea what to do about it. But from what I can glean online, neither LG nor Verizon plan to push any future updates on the V20, so we're stuck.
For contact selecting unique notification tones that actually stopped working
I got this LG v20 and I loved it...still do....but... how do I keep certain text notification tones thst i select to not change back to default?...on its own? Crazy. I use zedge ap to download ringtones n notification tones. Maybe there is an issue there?
@Dkb123,
If you could please add some punctuation to your post, it might be easier to read so someone can understand your problem and help you .
I am using a rooted HTC One m10 with Viper ROM and am having the same problem. Echos notification noises, turns off alarm and notification sounds, and it is beyond annoying. I have already had to reset it twice to try to fix it and nothing has worked. I have no idea what is causing it but when I try to open my alarm app it says it was disabled and could have been caused by a system time change (which didnt happen) or battery saving (where I have it whitelisted). I will try disabling my ad-blocker. I'm not sure how those things could be connected but since it was suggested I will give it a go. I am consulting all of the developers I know about this but so far nobody has an answer. I am kind of starting to freak out because I need my phone to work. I have 3 kids under the age of 6 in school and need to know when someone has to get in touch with me. Before the last reset, I also saw that when my notification was disabled and I went back in to reenable it, it had been switched back to the sound I had selected the time before that. One more note. When I go in to check my notification noises, all of them, my ringer, notifications, and alarm, are all blank for about one half second before they repopulate and then show the correct tones. If it were as simple as it being my ROM someone would have posted it on the thread because it is a pretty big problem to have gone unnoticed. Is it possible we are all running an app or have a shared setting that is causing this to happen to only us. I had to dig pretty hard to find this thread in the first place. It might help if we posted a list of our apps, what do you guys think?

[WORKAROUND FOUND] After May updates, notification sound vol controlled by media vol

I've had my Mi A1 for over a year now and have almost always had it on vibrate, so all calls/notifications cause the phone to vibrate, but any media that gets played will be at the volume set for media.
Over the past couple of weeks though, notifications (not sure about calls, don't get many of them) will play the notification sound at the volume set for media. I can only get them to shut off if I mute the media volume. I've tried changing the volume for both media and ringing, and restarting the device, but to no avail. I either have to leave it muted and miss notifications, or leave it unmuted and get a jumpscare each time (it also plays notifications when I'm on a call, and you can imagine the jumpscare I get with my phone at my ear and a sudden loud notification).
I recently started using Bose QC35 ii headphones through Bluetooth with my phone, but I don't think that has anything to do with it because it was working fine with them before.
I've searched Google for this kind of issue but couldn't find anything other than standard instructions on adjusting the volume. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this (without doing a full reset of the phone, hopefully)?
EDIT: this is a stock ROM, I've never flashed anything new on it

So I solved this by going into Settings > Accessibility > Vibration and turning Ring & notification vibration off, restarting, and then on again. I was able to use the Pushy app to send test notifications so that I didn't have to wait for a friend to send me a message or something of the sort. My vibration mode now works as intended (not sure about calls, I don't know how I can test those without having a friend call me), and loud notifications according to the volume set for the ringer.
So as it turns out, today I once again got sound notifications, despite having set my phone to vibrate only. What could be resetting the sound profile like this (note that the ringer volume is still at zero) that the notifications play sound at the media volume? Anyone have any idea on this?

Why not just set them individually, it won't take long, when I first got my A1 I did just this.
Each time I got a notification I just pulled down and pressed the notification and customised it, most I turned off, the rest I either set to vibrate, a custom sound or left as it was.
Calls are easy to take care of, set ring volume to zero and it only vibrates.
For me:
I want a sound when I get a SMS.
I want a custom sound when I get a call.
I want no notification of gmail, (it would be going off constantly)
I only want Vibrate from WhatsApp messages.
Can't think of others but I think everything else is silenced.
If that is no good try "Volume butler" which will add a seperate volume control for notifications, not used it myself but it should do the trick: https://www.guidingtech.com/separate-ringtone-notification-volume-android/

The only downside of doing them individually is that I can't turn them all back on with one setting, as on some infrequent occasions I do want to hear them because I be expecting a message and not necessarily feel the phone in my pocket. and it seems I have to wait for the actual notification to come up? (can't seem to find the setting under the standard notifications settings menu).
I'll have a look at Volume butler, but it sure is disappointing that this would break when it was a nice feature to use.

You're welcome, and seems that possibly if you unpair your BT device and reboot, you could get your notifications back to normal, but then you don't have your headset available...
Since the issue started outside of a system update, there is a chance it was introduced by a Google App or Play Services update, in which case hopefully Google will fix it soon since it's affecting a lot the Pixel phones.

Ah, I forgot to mention that I have a workaround for this that I came across in one of the dicussions somewhere. Inside Settings > Google > Search, Assistant & Voice > Notifications I can turn off notifications for Google completely. I've also turned off Google Assistant under Settings > Google > Search, Assistant & Voice > Google Assistant. I don't remember which of those actually resulted in the behavior not returning, but I'm pretty sure I don't need either, so I'm OK with it for now. (actually, do Google Security notifications come under the Google app or some other one?)
PS: reboot is actually not necessary, it seems force stopping Google Assistant or Google resets the notification settings (but yes, I want my headset hahaha).
