Ringer and notification volume the same? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my old Note 3 it had a separate volume for the phone ringer and a separate volume for the notification tones, like my text messages. I have noticed on my Nexus 6P that it seems the ringer and notification volume controls are the same. I use to turn my text message volume almost completely off at night and leave my phone ringer turned up some. But I have not been able to do that on the Nexus 6P. Am I missing something or are these two volumes on the same control? I am rooted and running Pure Nexus. I need separate volumes controls for them.

You could set up your Do Not Disturb to allow calls through and reject texts?
Although I have found no need to root and custom ROM with this phone, so your ROM may offer that functionality somewhere, I don't know.

The only reason I got this phone was to be able to root it and run custom ROMs I haven't had a Nexus since the Samsung Nexus 4, which Samsung radios are crap. I haven't run across anything in the ROM yet. I may flash a different ROM and see.

GravityBox
GravityBox has an option that allows you to unlink the notification and ringer volumes.

myModes and issues...

For starters, coming from a Nokia world, I'm surprised that many other platforms(except BB) dont have profiles built in! That's crazy!
So I was surprised to see that the Mytouch4g has its "modes" option.
Using it however I have noticed that you cant really set volume for ringtones and notifications with these things. All I can do is either turn it off or on and change the tone of the ringtone etc based on the mode selected.
That's not useful
I still have to set the phone on silent etc when going into a meeting or going to bed etc....
Am I missing anything?
I also noticed that changes made to the Normal Sound profile stick...as in Ringer volume at 50% and Notification Volume at 25%....
But changes made to the Silent Profile dont..everytime I get out of it and come back....all notification volume levels are set to 0.
What's the point in letting us set it if it doesnt stick?

Ringer Volume starts off low.

I have noticed that when I get an incoming call the ringing volume starts off low and then after the 1st or 2nd ring it jumps up to full volume (or the volume I have set it to). It's like as if the ringing volume has been set to ascending.
I have tried it with different ringtones but it's always the same result.
It is a little annoying and I'm not sure if its a bug or not as I can't seem to find anything in the settings to adjust this.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to correct or change it?
Thanks.
I do not have this problem.
But i use one of the preinstalled ringtones.
Maybe it has something to do with it.
But i looked in the settings and did not find any options regarding the increasing volume (know that option from my old w850i sony ericsson)
I have tried it with the preinstalled ringtones as well but I still get the same problem.
Yeah my old nokia's used to have an option for ascending ringtone but I can't find anything like that. Might have to do a factory reset and see if that fixes anything.
You know what?
I've got the same problem.
had a ringtone that got kinds louder in the first 2 seconds so i did not hear that the volume was increasing.(had pegasus)
But with another ringtone i can hear that increasing volume too.
weird :S
Same here.
Sent from galaxy S 2 using xda app

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Have any of you lot downloaded additional ringtones from 3rd party apps like zedge?
I'm wondering they could've caused it, cos it definitely seems like a software issue as oppose to a hardware issue.
I'm going to do a factory reset on my phone and wipe it completely and see what happens.
I posted this a while back, but the Mods kept moving it to Q&A. We need the phone.apk modified so the increasing ringer effect is removed. This is stock behavior with all Samsung phones, including the SGS.

So are you saying that this is normal behaviour? and that everyone's SGS2 will have this issue?
I just did a full wipe and factory reset and it didn't resolve anything
My S2 act the same, i've uploaded the song from kies.
It's a bit annoying.
Okay I think that cmd512 was right, it seems to be a feature of samsung phones, one which apparently we can't change without rooting the device. Looks like I wiped my phone for no reason, great!!
Here's some other links I've found regarding this issue on the original SGS...

Can other users just confirm if their device acts in the same way or not? Thanks.
I noticed this my 1st call or so (3 weeks ago). I assume this is done by Samsung purposely to give users a chance to silence the ringer before it disturbs something/someone (meeting, conference, library, etc.)
If you check motion in Settings, you will see that there is an option to articles silence sounds by turning the phone over. I assume the ringer starts low, then increases to allow the users time to silence the phone before reaching max volume.

Yeah I thought it might be something like that too but you'd think samsung would at least put an option in the settings to let the user choose if they wanted it or not ... or even put a note about it somewhere so people like me wouldn't think its a problem with their phone and format their device for no reason lol
This is absolutely normal, was the same on the SGS. The only way is to decompile phone.apk and change one of the settings. If you search "non-increasing ringer phone.apk" for the SGS, you will see tons of posts with this file. Once you push the new phone.apk over, it will get rid of the increasing ringer effect.
Unfortunately, when I tried to decompile phone.apk, I got errors. If I can get a deodexed version of phone.apk from KE7, I can modify it accordingly.
'Feature'
Confirmed - It is standard stock behavior and I hate it.. lol.
Coming from the captivate where I ran i900 modded roms they would have ascending ringers until some dev modded it to not..
having the same problem here

Disable Increasing Ring is the best app that can fix Ringer Volume starts off low issue

Disable Volume alert

Anyone know how to disable that annoying beeping sound when you change volume or when you hit max volume? it is unbelievably annoying.
Gravity Box in Xposed can disabled it. Along with loads of other stuff. That requires root and will break Android Pay, though.
Ok this probably isn't much help but I noticed the other day that my Nexus 6p has stopped making that sound when changing the volume setting. Except I have no idea how or why.. in fact I've been actually trying to bring it back just to understand why its stopped. I'm also non-root switch is even more strange

Stock doesn't do it anymore. Only custom roms do.
Which is all the more strange then as I'm running stock non-rooted. Unless I deleted a sound file or something by accident. Is that even possible to stop the sound? I still have the lock sound, just no volume sounds when changing volume

Ringer and notification volume control

Hi all,
I've got mi A1 just as a backup device, but I started liking it and using it a lot and it's a really nice phone, but I just can't figure out how to separate ringer and notifications volume as I want to leave incoming calls ringer loud and notifications barely audible. All my other phones have this feature: LG G5, OnePlus 5, Nexus 5 but I can't find it on this phone. I've tried searching here and YouTube and Google and can't find anything. Could anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Unfortunately no luck with that so just keeping my phone on silent as I can't stand that blaring notification sound as it's always maxed out if you watch something on YouTube and pressing volume before video stars by mistake and ending up with max volume. I've tried few apps but uninstalled them as they look more like bloatware rather anything useful.
I'm surprised that nobody else is facing this issue. This is my first android phone where I can't adjust notification volume and ringer separately. Let me know if you find a workaround.
From Oreo videos on YouTube it seems that notifications volume on A1 hasn't been separated too.
As far as I remember, there used to be Xposed module for that, don't recall that any of my previous phones had separate volume control for ringtone and notifications, though I never looked for such feature, I want to have it linked together [emoji846]
As the last resort - create bunch of notification sounds with extremely low volume and use those instead of built in sounds..

Increase System Sounds, Lock/Unlock, Sending messages sound and so on.

So after the update to 8.1, the System Sounds are barely audible. Lock/Unlock, Keyboard clicks, sending texts and so on. Sounds like speaker phone, notifications and ring tone are fine though.
I've searched everywhere and can not find anything on how to increase JUST the system sounds. But during my Googling, I came across this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume.
It separates out the System Sounds from Ring Tone and Notifications, and makes the sounds I mentioned WAY louder. However, the app has to run in the background and you have to adjust the volume within the app. Anyone know what value and where it is to adjust that the app is modifying? I'm rooted running stock. Would rather stay stock and not flash a custom rom, as all roms I've tried, the data connection has not been very good for me.
Thanks!
