Is there a way to stop the "fade in" in the beginning of the ringtone. I do not like it's implementation. It is kind of too fast and the effect is annoying. I see no option for this anywhere.
Seeking how to stop the increasing ringtone too
I also have the same problem (actually not a problem, just dun want it)
I find all the setting in phone but no way out
any suggest?
If you set an mp3 as the ring tone, does it still do it, I don't think mine does :/
yes, I edit a mp3 in PC and copy in i9000 then set as ring-tone, I still behave the same, sad.......
have the same problem
it was on my omnia i900 too. The modding community managed to tweak it away, so its only a matter of time before you can get a small tweak to turn it off.
But I believe that Samsung made this a feature (i read it somewhere long ago) in that sometimes people have just finished a call and the phone is still next to the ear, they might receive another call (with the phone still next to their ear), with the fade in feature, the ringtone wont blast into the persons ear which can cause damage, instead it starts off low volume and then increases, allowing time for the phone to move away from the ear.
hope that made sense
i like it how it is, what is so bad about the volume up per ring?
at most after the 4th ring it goes to voice mail, it doesn't get that annoying
its not really a problem indeed, but I will notice a call when I at street after the ring-tone finish fade-ing, it may be the 2tnd or 3th ring of the person who call in, after I pick the phone out of my bag and looking the information who call in, it may be the 4th or 5th ring then that person may think it is no body to answer or the system make it goes to voicemail............I miss the call...........

Like most things it's called choice. I prefer no increasing ring as well.
I'd like this gone too! The fading ringtone is irritating
This also is a problem to me.
I don't understand why Samsung doesn't make this an option for us to turn the feature on or off, not to mention configurable fade-in time.
The problem is here since, I don't know, i900, perhaps?
I would also like to see this disabled. Hopefully someone will find out how to do it soon!!
Sorry to bump this thread, but I'd really like this problem solved also. Obviously there's no clear option to change this, however does anyone know where we can start looking? (ie. certain config files or similar for rooted users.)
There's still no solution?
any update on this?
have you tried 3rd party ring tones apps
those have its own way of playing sounds when a calls comes in, some replaces the stock features.
try ring extend and ringo plus and many many more
android market is full of it

Thanks AllGamer, but I've tried many apps including Rings Extended, Ringo Lite and Zedge, but they just replace the ringtone picker. No matter which app I use, I always get increasing volume for incoming calls.
P.S.: I noticed something funny: I selected a ringtone from DoubleTwist playlist using Rings Extended. When I got an incoming call, I listened to a "hidden ringtone" which is similar to the digital phone ringtone. Probably Rings Extended failed to pick a mp3 from DoubleTwist and my phone used a "fallback ringtone" (such as the Nokia Tune when you remove an sd card with your ringtone). I think it's called "832" but I can't find it anywhere!
Sigh the increasing ringer is pretty lame.
Should be optional.
still no fix huh...

Hi all,
Be gentle with me, but I think that after weeks of headbanging, I have stumbled across a fix for the problem of dissapearing ringtones in CM10. This works for me on my International S2 and I belive it accounts for the differing accounts of the problem, Some people have it, others not at all, differing periods before it kicks in etc.
I am on the Codeworx 21 August release from Rom Manager
I was looking through my Locale settings and found that I had some ringtones set for different locations, the files for these are now gone and I deleted the settings in Locale, ever since doing this, I have not had the dreaded 'Unknown Ringtone' problem once, despite trying to force it.
I am no MOD, but I am guessing that when an app changes the ringtone, either tyo a file it cannot find or perhaps at all, CM10 cannot substitute the default ringtoine as other roms do, I did not have a ringtone set in defaults, which may also have been a problem in my situation.
I am guessing that any program which alters your ringtone or notification settings can potentially have the same affect.
Apologies if this has been spotted before, but I have been combing the CM10 threads for weeks and not seen it, and hopefully if it can be confirmed by others, that it needs to be more widely circulated, hence the new thread.
Please post with details if it works for you!

Hi guys, I have a problem with my 6p that been bothering me for a while now. Whenever I change the ringtone on the phone to a Zedge tone or one of the defaults that came with the phone, it always resets to "KeypressReturn" within 2 days. When someone calls, the phone only vibrates which cause me to miss a lot of calls. I saw a similar post on AC by a person experiencing nearly the same issue but there was no viable solution mentioned.
Please help!
make sure that whatever app your using to set the ringtone has adequate permissions. IE it has access to storage.
I had already given Zedge has access to storage as per the advice in the AC forum. Also the Settings app has no permissions listed.
I just wanted to report back that this matter has been resolved. It was actually me that reset the ringtone to KeyPressReturn all the time. I have been using some customized shortcuts for volume from the AudioManager app for a few years now. Apparently, the developer made an enhancement to the application by allowing a user to change his/her ringtone and alert notification via the shortcuts. Since, I don't read the change notes for every single app I upgrade I was unaware that the ringtone option exists and the default was KeypressReturn. I modified my shortcuts and tested each one of them while going back and checking what it was set to in Settings. It been almost a full day now and my ringtone has not been reset. Thanks everyone for your time and suggestions!
Upgrading from the S5, Chrome Push Notifications were almost always instantaneous, and I never once missed a notification. On the S8, many are delayed and I miss a huge number of them, mostly when my phone is "off" (eg, in my pocket). Anyone else experiencing this, or know how I can fix it? The only thing that has changed is the phone, so it's definitely something with the S8 (or possibly the kernel version running on it). Seems to happen on both wifi and cellular network. I need these notifications, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Update: Here is how to fix the issue of not getting notifications for an application on the Samsung S8, or probably any Nougat device:
Go to Settings -> Apps
Click the : Menu in top right, select -> [Special Access]
Select > Optimize Battery Usage ->
Click the dropdown menu towards the top of the screen that says: "Apps not optimized [v]" -> change to [All Apps]
Add any application you want to get notifications for without delay, all the time. Eg, Chrome, Gmail, Facebook, etc.
Hopefully Google will fix the overzealous battery optimizations soon so we don't have to do this!
Oh boy. I love the phone, but something in the RAM and Battery optimization is killing all background apps, including your Chrome. Drives me nuts, every time I switch between apps and return to previous, its restarted, which means forgots to where I was. Very annoying when reading news, Facebook etc. Seems like there is no fix for it at the moment.
Excluding apps from battery optimization doesn't help at all. Everyone think is Nougat problem, but my S7 edge didn't have the same issue.
I thought I'm the only one with delayed notification issue. I tested the gmail notification on my s8+. The phone was in standby mode on my pocket and I sent the email from another account. No notification until 4 minutes later. With my other phone notifications are instant. I have issues with other app notification as well. The forums apps will not even notify me anymore if someone responded to my post.
It is definitely related to some overly aggressive battery/cpu/ram optimizations on this phone. I also have seen weirdness in other apps, like you guys mentioned. However, one exception is AquaMail, which when I set it back up on this phone during install, it explicitly asked me to click a thing that took me to some deep setting that allowed me to excluded AquaMail from some battery or some other optimization. I don't remember, unfortunately, because I was just trying to get my phone setup, and didn't think it'd be such a widespread issue. I'll try to dig around and see if it still shows a way to get back to that setting, or if there is a way to add other apps while IN that page.
I also have the battery optimization thing to "Off" and it's not monitoring apps (so it says). In developer settings, there's a background apps setting, default is "standard limit", whatever that means, but the largest choice is 4, which seems really small...
This is definitely frustrating, I love the hardware side of this phone, it's amazing, but the software/OS execution seems like a huge miss, almost like it went completely untested live. Hope either they fix these issues soon, or someone figures a way to do so.
The interesting part is that I have too under Battery: Power saving modeto OFF, but that doesn't stop the phone still to put apps to sleep. An hour ago I had a notification that 13 aps will be pit to sleep, even that I have power saving mode to off.
It is very annoying: if I have clicked form something(web page or Facebook, Upday etc) to a link and start reading, but in the mean time I have a message and open it to respond, when I am back to the first app with the open link, it gets reloded to the original page as I have never clicked on the link. Facebook is very good example.
I can't even seem to figure out how to get to a RAM usage screen in settings at all on this phone. I'm curious if it's something sucking down all the RAM causing apps to swap on/off, or it is just an aggressive optimization setting somewhere.
Sounds to me like a Nougat issue rather than anyhting to do with this phone. This is exactly the sort of thing that has worried me constantly since i first heard about this kind of battery saving feature they decided to implement in Nougat.
Have any of you been using Nougat on your previous device without having this issue? If not then I would say it is probably Nougat causing it.
I have similar with bluemail where sometimes it doesnt notify me of hotmail emails very quickly but i put that down to bluemail being a bit slow sometimes since it did it on my S5 too.
This is my first experience with Nougat. stoyank said his S7 on Nougat did not have this issue, fwiw.
I'll take reliable apps over better battery any day of the week. This is pretty ridiculous, and even more so since there doesn't appear to be a way to fix/turn it off!
Update:
Found the settings page:
Settings -> Apps -> : Menu : Special Access -> Optimize Battery Usage -> Apps not optimized [v] -> All Apps
On this page almost everything is listed as "on". I scrolled through, turned Chrome, Chrome Device Library, and Google Services Framework OFF. No idea if this will help, but hopefully it will.
Will let you guys know later today if I missed any more updates. There might be another service needs turned off on this page that I missed. If you're missing updates in one of your apps, try turning that off in this page, and see if it helps. I'm guessing and hoping it does work, because AquaMail was one of the few things listed here as Off (from my config thing I did when I setup the phone) and it always receives emails instantly through push.
Update 2: My wife's S7 apparently has this same issue since it updated. She often doesn't receive facebook notifications since it updated her phone to nougat. She just assumed it was the facebook app that was bugged. Yikes! Not sure how this hasn't become a bigger issue, surely there are tons of people that need reliable push notifications for various apps. Hopefully my fix above works as a band-aid until a broader fix is implemented.
My Galaxy s7 edge was updated to Nougat for good few months before I got the S8. However I have not experienced similar issues. Most of the apps did not need to reload every time I switch between them. I am not bothered about getting an email a couple of minutes late, but browsing news, or wifi streaming music to an external player is non usable at the moment. It looses conection, reload pages, every time I scroll down on Facebook and swithch between apps, it seems as it goes back to the top of the news feed, loosing where I left it.
A week ago I was watching on YouTube a comparison between iPhone, S8, pixel and some other crap, and surprisingly on a speed test and re-opening the already open apps, the Galaxy S8 came as last as it seems that needed to reload all apps again. You can imagine the shock I had, since I don't like iPhone, but it came first, nearly twice faster.
Need a fix soon, as I already give my Galaxy S7 edge to the wife. Can't get it back.

Try my suggestion in the post above yours, see if that helps. So far, I haven't missed any notifications, but it's too soon to tell, and I haven't had my phone in my pocket, but on my desk.
I know you can cherry pick some apps and exclude them from being monitored, and power optimised. However, not all apps are listed under "+add apps" for example Chrome, Upday, Facebook and many more.

No problem. It was in a weird spot. Seems to be working great so far, I'm back to instant notifications, something that wasn't happening before. Will give it a few days til I call the all clear.
Still annoying we have to do this at all. Hope Google gets it fixed. I saw people complaining about it back in August, so I'm not too hopeful of anything immediate.
I would say my fix works. I have received every notification in a timely manner. Updating the first post to reflect this.
I resolved my gmail not in push mail mode by simply removing the re-adding the accounts.
I did that on Google Inbox app as I have issues getting any email notifications. Still not receiving any!
I deleted the app, deleted cache, put it as priority, removed from optimize battery list, everything! Still no notifications for email via Inbox! WTF
Posting just to say I already have made sure gmail isn't being put to sleep but I'm also not getting mail notifications reliably on my S8+. Missed work emails on more than a few occasions by hours because of this.
Ok I was able to fix it finally by: Deleting Google Account and re-adding again.
Email (Inbox app) notification work now
Hello, I am Magisk rooted on the Feb 19 release with the stock kernel. Every few hours my phone will vibrate twice as if I am receiving a text or email, check the phone, nothing. I go into the notification settings and in the recent applications list it shows no notifications, the most recent might be 4 hours ago. Has anyone else experienced this or have thoughts on how to stop it? I clean flashed from the Nov security update and did not experience it in that version.
I get something very similar & I am not rooted. I'm not sure how often I get vibrations, but what I do often get is a pause in podcast playback as if a notification is received - but no beeps/vibes and, of course, no new notification. Also, a couple of times my podcast app stopped entirely for no reason - contacted Podcast Addict, thinking it was a PA bug, he found the following in the logs:
Playback stopped because another app asked for permanent audio focus
1-24 12:34:49.043 23210 23210 I PA_PlayerTask: onAudioFocusChange(-1, status: PLAYING, lossTransientCanDuck: false, pauseOnFocusLost: false, PAUSE_RESUME)
01-24 12:34:49.043 23210 23210 I PA_PlayerTask: AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS
This is the intended behavior in case an app asks for permanent audio focus. The difficult part will be to find the app responsible for this.
It seemed like this was another "ghost" notification but not letting go - if that makes any sense to you.
I should add that I listen to podcast a lot, and aside from the odd youtube clip or embedded video, nothing I use should want audio focus -- except notification of course.
Since writing this post I have been disabling notification permissions app by app and then enabling them again if the concern is still present. If I go through all my downloaded apps and am left with just system ones I think I will try another clean flash.

I should have noted in my earlier comment that I found updated battery stats from AccuBattery caused some of the ghost notifications, I disabled those notifications but still have something ghosting me every so often.
I found the application that was causing the concern and disabling notifications corrected it. Choices That Matter is the app if anyone else ends up experiencing this.
