Notification sound/vibration doesn't finish playing - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I noticed that the notification sound randomly stops playing at my MXP. Same for the vibration; it starts and then suddenly stops when I get a text for example. I've tried multiple different sounds and, of course, have rebooted the device a few times. Not sure if this is a new problem or not, but I just started to notice it. Happened both before and after updating to 6.0.

It just seems odd and doesn't happen at all with my wife's Nexus 5x. It's like the speaker suddenly dies halfway through playing a notification sound.

Yes I know. ?
But still living with that.
When 2 or 3 messages come simultaneously, then the notification tone rings only for 2nd and 3rd message and sometimes half for 1st message.

[Q] Noises

My RAZR is making the tone I have set for my notification. I noticed it usually starts after I get off a call. Also I git a task manager and used it once I used it it stopped. Finally this just started up randomly. Hope someone could help thanks in advance.
Missed voicemail perhaps?

Thats what I thought at first but then i called myself with a different phone and didn't leave a voice mail and it still did it.
Did you ever figure out what this was? My wife's phone makes a noise randomly. Don't think it's the notification alert, but some type of sound.

Mine did this because of Yahoo mail. Even though I turned off notifications, I did not turn off the sound. I would still get the notification sound, even though I didn't get a notification in my status bar.
Ok, thanks! I'll check that!

I've been hearing my phone make some strange noises the past week or so, and I think I just figured out what it is... apparently I was resting my phone on my wallet and it was picking up the smart chip in my credit card with NFC. No notifications, just the noise. I tested it by putting my card (the corner with the little wireless symbol) about the half inch under the camera, and sure enough... every time it made a noise.
I've only noticed it in the past week or two, around the same time as I did the most recent OTA update.

[Q] Phone with No Sound :(

My S4 is behaving weird today.
There's NO notification sound for my SMS, Whatsapp, Email and even phone ring tone. I tried calling out but couldn't hear the other party. I plug in the ear phone and also hear nothing...... Tried the Music Player and no sound to the speaker too.
I've rebooted the phone and everything goes back to normal.... for 2-3 minutes only. Then it's all NO sound again.
I suspect that it could be a software problem rather than hardware (since there's sound after I reboot but only for 2-3 minutes).
Anyone experience problem like this before and how do you solve it ?
What rom and which s4 you are using?

Ringtone/notification volume issue

I seem to be having an issue with the notifications and ringtones on my new Moto X Pure. Ringtones are 'ascending' and start out very quiet. and some notifications seem to be the same way but the tones are so short that all that ends up happening is that you don't hear them at all. It also doesn't seem to affect every app - I don't hear anything when I get a Facebook message, but emails and texts seem fine. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing?
Most apps have their own sound settings. Check the apps that are giving you trouble and see if there is a setting for sending ringtones.

I checked everywhere to see if you can turn this off and failed. It's something that's very annoying to me
This is a serious issue ....I am considering returning the phone because I cannot even hear my notifications ...spoke to motorola and of course they said they are not aware of any issue
.....if they would acknowledge the problem and address it in a software update I wouldn't care but since they don't even acknowledge the issue ....

That app seems to work for everything but Facebook which is fine for me. Give it a try. Hopefully once some custom roms start dropping this issue is fixed
Someone else and I are having similar issues with low volume: http://www.reddit.com/r/motox/comments/3maaw1/_/

I have had ring tone volume going down to zero and not being able to adjust it 3 times now. I think I just figured out that this happens when moto assist puts it into "driving" mode and I'm wearing my bluetooth headset. Only way to fix it is to reboot the phone. So annoying!
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
I don't mind the ringtone volume as much as the low notification volume. It sucks. I constantly miss messages and email. The buzz sound you get from vibrate is louder than the darn notification.

This seems to be a good workaround. To get it to work check "New normalization method." I was also getting an annoying notification in the status bar that the app was waiting for a call. I was able to get rid of this by going into settings-apps-disable increasing ring and then deselecting "show notification." App still works.
Now onto trying to reduce the vibration intensity or pattern of this phone. If anyone knows how to do that, please advise. Also wish this phone had separate volume control for the ringtones and notifications.

I don't know how well this will be in the long run. But I disabled moto voice and restarted. The ascending issue is gone all around. . I will keep you posted and see if this isn't just a fluke

Im not sure if this is related but Ive noticed the ringtones are coming out on both top and bottom speakers but notification tones are onlu coming out from the bottom speaker are you having the same issue?
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
The workaround I'm using is to add ~2 seconds silence to the initial portion of the MP3 file for my notification MP3s. This means that during this initial 2 seconds of an MP3, while the XT1575 volume ramps up, there is nothing playing, then the actual sound plays at full volume. Works like a charm.
I use my own MP3s for notifications and ringtones. Used an old version of Goldwave to do this (and other useful things) to the MP3s, then loaded them on to phone.
If you're rooted this is the fix I through together thanks to the help of the moto x play thread. Check it out and make sure to thank the guy who created the original file

I had the same issue with every nexus 6 I had (3 of them, all returned). Motorola has something very wrong going on with the speaker hardware/config file.
For anyone who happened to install a custom ROM or the OTA Marshmallow update, do you still have this ascending ringtone issue? I cannot hear my notification sounds, but after installing the "Disable Increasing Ringtone" app, it seems to have helped for most notifications except for FB Chat Heads.
If your rooted, AICP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63842724 has the setting built in.

Found a fix for this if you are rooted. Worked great for me to fix this bug http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/mod-disable-ascending-ringtone-t3218683
Still not fixed? Motorola you useless twats.
Not even fixed after the 6.0.1 update (Moto X Style, reteu version). Why is it so hard to give us a toggle for this... As much as I like this phone, there are a few quirks that will make me never buy anything non-Nexus ever again, starting this fall.

No notification sound

Yes.. At time my nexus simply loses its notification sounds.
Media sounds still works just the notifying sound disappears.
And after a reboot it works fine.
Its the 3rd time I've faced such bug.
Has anyone else faced such bug ?

Shall i factory reset my device ?

I'm on version M and still having the same problem.
Count me in as well. Mine does the same thing. I wonder if it has to do with the doze features

I switched back to the stock messaging app today and so far it hasn't missed any notification sounds. It may have something to do with 3rd party apps not being optimized for marshmallow. I'm going to try and turn off battery optimization on my preferred messaging app and see if that helps.

Yeah I have been having the same problem with the messenger app, Gmail, as well as my 3rd party apps... I also use a moto 360 and that won't notify me either so Idk what's going on... It's annoying though especially with text messages...

For me it seems to be only 3rd party apps. Stock apps are coming through fine.
not sure if this will work for anyone else, but twice now i have had my notifications and alarms silenced. i figured out that both times it was after connecting to a bluetooth decice (once a speaker and once a ear bud) - even though i turned bluetooth off, and it showed as off, it was still trying to send the sounds to the bluetooth device. i turned bluetooth on and then off again and sounds worked.
I have the same issue, and I can confirm that it is bluetooth related for me as well. It seems to happen every time I connect with my car or my bluetooth earphones. I'd have to then turn off/on bluetooth or reboot to start getting audio for alarms and notifications.
FWIW, this doesn't seem to be the only bluetooth issue with this phone(or maybe Android M). I also have an issue with bluetooth causing wakelocks and preventing doze from kicking in (there's a thread on that as well).
I have the same issue and I think mine is related to bluetooth as well. After I started using a smartwatch that syncs with the phone via bluetooth, I started having the issue. Alarms, phone calls, messages etc don't lose sound. I have to turn the phone off and back on in order for notifications to work again. At times, sound from the keyboard of media works, but not notifications. At times media doesn't have any sound neither. I don't know if it's the Nexus 6P's problem or Android M's but this blows.
I'm having same issue but I don't use Bluetooth. Randomly lose all notification sounds. All stock apps, even ringtone and key sounds. Rebooting phone resolves it. But just now it's happened again, I then went into settings, sounds, and turned key sounds off then on again and bingo, all notification sounds are back to normal.

Same thing for me. I couldn't even go into system settings to modify the sound. It just hangs and eventually crashes. A reboot always fixes it. I did use bluetooth. Any notifications with vibration still vibrates though. Not rooted, or running exposed.
Just a quick update from my post earlier. Since I posted regarding my same issue I have since disabled the nexus imprint lock screen, which I had setup to unlock my phone, and a day has passed and all is good. Maybe a coincidence, I don't know but I've got all my notifications working as they should be.

Same issue here... This needs to be fix asap. Can't risk my alarm not having sound.

Update to my complaint, it still fails after sometime even when I don't use bluetooth.
Attached screenshot indicates it's related to the media storage permissions maybe?
This is pretty bad since I won't hear my calls or any other notifications!

Same here. At first I thought it was related to bluetooth but after disabling bluetooth and rebooting the phone, getting notifications and the losing them again, I can say that the issue doesn't seem to be related to bluetooth.
I've missed alarms and of course calls and messages. This blows!

WhatsApp calls are silent and don't vibrate

Hi
I'm having this issue in my Pixel 4 and my Pixel 2. WhatsApp calls are shown silently and they don't vibrate (obviously when phone is in Vibrate mode)
(It only seems to vibrate properly when the app is in foreground and I receive the call , but never vibrates when app is in background or when phone is locked. So I end up missing a lot of calls unless I'm staring at the screen when that happens).
Anybody is not facing the same issue? Or found a solution?

That was happening all day up until just a minute or so ago. Try it now, it was probably something server side messing up.

Mmm not working here. Since more than a week ago.
I'm using this version right now (i started trying beta to see if this is fixed)
version 2.19.327
And defaulted Notifications. ("Restore Notification settings" options)
Only way the incoming calls start vibrating is by having the phone unlocked with WhatsApp in foreground.

I'm going from the pixel 4 to P3 and to an iPhone. All working. I'll test more tomorrow if you're still having issues.
@thesebastian Seems like it's not the app or the device. Worldwide problems with notifications only working if app is open. Now whether they will admit it's a problem or not is another story. Tech support looks spotty at best.
