Having problems setting up notification sounds in hangouts, gmail. - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason I cannot change notification sounds in each of these apps. It just falls back to the system notifications sounds. Do I need to change app permissions to allow for this change?
OK, gmail seems to work. Now just hangouts not working.

Yes, allow permissions to storage for the apps to be able to read the ringtones you have selected-had the same issues after upgrading to Marshmallow on my Nexus 6.

Thanks for that little tip. I'm a wee bit ashamed I didn't think of it myself because I've screwed up a few things with xprivacy but for some reason it never occurred to me that the stock rom could be having troubles with access permissions.

[Q] Need help with notifications in PA 2.23

Hi all. I've been having problems with not getting notifications for certain programs in Paranoid Android 2.23. Especially words with friends and Facebook. I checked and dnd is off and notifications are turned on for those apps. I also have profiles turned off at the moment. Not sure what's causing this. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Did you restore these apps from backup? I have this problem with words with friends everytime I flash a new rom (dirty or clean) and restore it from backup. What fixes it for me is to clear the data from the app using the apps settings menu and then re-logging into words. Then I start to get notifications again.

S-calendar and Google calendar

I am using both S-calendar and Google calendar: i like the homescreen widget for S-Calendar but I prefer using the Google Calendar app for managing appointments.
Considering that I do not want two notifications, I set notifications only in S-calendar with vibration and turned them off in Google calendar.
Problem is that every time i reboot the tablet, it resets the settings of both calendar apps: it removes vibration in S-calendar and enables notification in Google calendar.
Anyone else?
anyone?

Yea I had the same exact issue with mine. I realized that the 2 notifications in both apps are tied together. Meaning if you change one, it'll reset the other on reboot.
I wanted the notifications from S-cal and the googlecalendar app for management as well. I ended up disabling the S-Cal app entirely in the app management settings menu and instead using the google-cal app for everything. I dont think there is a way to separate the 2 apps.
If you find a way I'd like to know as well. Sorry I cant be more helpful.
This won't work on ICS builds, but if you have upgraded to JB 4.1 then in Settings - > Application Manager you can disable notifications on a per app basis.

yes this I know, my question was more: why upon restart the notification settings of both google and s calendar are set back to original values?
That I'm not sure. It shouldn't be resetting the setting on a reboot.

How to disable user apps in Marshmallow?

Pretty much as the title says. In Marshmallow, I simply can't find how to disable a user app, I can only see how to disable system apps.
Am I missing something? Please tell me they have not removed this as a feature.
I've tried searching, but to my surprise haven't been able to find anyone else discussing this issue.
You can freeze then with titanium or uninstall them.
There's no disabling *user* apps in the first place - it's meant for system apps only.

Why should I disable user apps when I can uninstall them?

because some apps share libraries and if you uninstalle certain apps other apps won't work or even FC's all around can occur. exactly one of those scenarios where users blame roms and kernels with simple statements like: "this" or "that" doesn't work, please fix it.
from the tone in your question i can well imagine that that's a bulls eye here. if you don't know, don't think those who do are doing things for no reason, perhaps they simply know better.
I am not sure if you got me right or if I get you.
Yes, I had this tone because if you install an app - and that would be my definition of an user app - you can simply deinstall it if you don't need it anymore and nothing will happen except loosing the app data.
Of course nobody should freeze or even deinstall any system app if you don't know what that will or could cause, but in my understanding that was not the question.
I have entune for my toyota installed, i dont want to have to re sign in and redownload the app everytime i drive that car. I used to be able to disable the app when i didn't need it. Now that option isnt there. Same goes for peel remote. I dont always need it running, just when im at the bar and want to change channels
Has this option really been removed? That would be a big step backwards imho.

[q] Old notifications from same app deleted in Android N

Hello, I'm in stock unrooted Android n preview 3. It appears that notifications that come from the same app, when I have left another notifications sitting there, will be overridden and disappear.
This is a big problem for me, as I use cloudmagic to track multiple tasks that pop up for me, and I let them sit there. Sometimes I'll have 10 notifications at once that I need to get to. Is there a way to override this behavior that I missing? Sorry if this is already been answered, I did do a search and was unable to come up with any results
Thank you in advance for your help.

I haven't tried N, so unfamiliar on how the notifications display but the best bet would be to contact the app developer and explain.
AFAIK or understand by a quick search, the behavior is controlled by the app calling the same tag/id with different notification parameters which will overwrite the previous one.
Also have you tried any of the notification managers on play? Could be an easy work around or easier to manage.

I did contact the app developer and explained exactly what you said previously. They are blaming it on N. I told them they need a unique intent for each call. They didn't respond.
Can't use a third party notification manager because of special features within the cloud magic reminders

Google Sounds App?

Has anyone tried the new Google Sounds app on the PH-1? Is there a modded version of it yet to use on our Ph-1 phones?
Yep I have it installed and it works fine. You do have to manually give it storage permissions and then it pops up as an option in sounds.

That will likely expand with time similar to the wallpaper app.

Go-to Settings/Apps and Notifications and find the Sounds app. Give it Storage permission and it should not crash.
