Low notification volume - Moto Z Force Questions & Answers
This device has a bug. Volumes for notifications are always low.
This happened with the latest update .
I found a workaround that has been working for me.
Run the device help app and test the speaker. Even if you can hear the sound, press no and run it again. After that notifications should be full volume and you'll be able to actually hear it.
Waiting for the Nougat update or any kind of update from moto to fix this issue.

I will have to try that... I was looking for the notification volume bar (like my Samsung devices) and didn't see it. Was wondering how to increase the volume without cranking up the others.

On this device you cannot unlink the ring tone and the notification tone like on Samsung.
The unlinked notification and ringer is not stock-android. Nexus can't do it either.
I have seen other reports of this on other phones and never been able to duplicate it. I have read of a few people removing Facebook apps, and rebooting and the low volume notifications work again.
Changing this post because I did not realize mine did it until it stopped

I have never had this issue, and the last poster mentioned removing facebook, the only social media app I have is Instagram which I hardly ever use so it may be related to social media, I have read other reports of twitter causing similar problems.

I have never used FaceBook. The notifications an ringtones are messed up on mine. It seems to be connected to the escalating volume. Ringtones last long enough to get escalated very loudly. The brief chirp of a notification however, just does not have time to get escalated.
What about using the default sounds? I have never changed my notification or ringtone sound

I would like to point out that this was an issue on stock, not after any of the update like OP states. I haven't taken any updates and had this same low ringtone issue.
Not only did the "test speaker" help with the low volume issue, but it also eliminated the "speaker pop" bug after you've connected to a BT device.
This has stopped for me. The past few days not escalating ring and loud notifications. Im trying to figure out what I did, but I cant make it happen again to figure out what triggered it to stop

Please let us know if you do figure it out... mine does this as well and it is annoying. My wife's does it and you would swear it was end of world...
Can someone try installing CameraFi from the play store and see if it solves the problem?
I know it sounds dumb but that is the only thing I can place that I have changed. I bought an endoscope and installed that, I tried uninstalling but it did not revert back
Also does anyone know if we can export a list of every setting and app we have so I can try to figure it out
I'm not so sure the speaker test worked for me. Whenever I go and change a tone, the first one is always so low, then then next time I press the same time it is louder.

I tried. Did nothing for me. I went to messenger/settings/notifications/ and the first time is always low then the second time I select one, it is louder. So same spot as before.
I wish I knew what I did to stop it, I didnt realize it was happening to me until it stopped. I knew I had escalating ring,which is also now gone. Now that my notifications are about 10 times louder I want to try to help everyone else but Im completely at a loss as to why it changed.
When I test by changing the sound with the speaker mod attached, the notifications act the right way. Both first and second selection are loud. Without the mod, the first is low and second selection is loud. So something is wrong with the handoff for earpiece volume/speaker volume.

List made using <a href=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.onyxbits.listmyapps>List My Apps</a>
This is a list of my apps, I did not change any settings so my best guess is it has to be an app doing it...maybe one of them updated and changed something if you want to try installing them.
some user posed they downloaded Music app on play store and if it is just open in the background notification is loud>!
I always close all my apps, I just am not sure what else to look at to diagnose it.

That is something like what I am saying above... The handoff between headset (call) volume and speaker (music) volume is broken/confused.
fix is on its way soon https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-Z-Force/Quiet-notifications-moto-z/m-p/3514410#M2795

Mine does that too whenever i restore a rom. The market auto restores all apps but they download to /sdcard/download first. Even if you delete the files from download. Reflash a new rom and let it restore your apps it will re-add the "downloadfile*.apk" to your downloads folder. Weird but nice. Never thought of it but buying an app, flashing a new rom and letting it restore will put it on sdcard and then you can get a refund and it will still be there. Wonder why it does this?

Click to collapse Gameboid has been working great for me for about a week. No crash seen. I played pokemon sapphiere and fire red on it and they were running fine. Maybe there were a slight lag when continuous touching the screen to move the character but that didn't affect the gameplay. The games were running smoothly.

Communication software lowering audio of metro apps
Hello XDA, I'm having a bit of a problem with my audio. I spend a lot of my day in a Google Hangout with long time friends of mine too far away to see in person. Windows 8 lets me do this perfectly fine besides when I want to listen to music simultaneously. I know in Windows 7 it did this as well, where when Hangouts was open it would lower volume to my music apps. I could fix this by just going into the control panel and disable the volume reduction of 80% and be done with it. But this doesn't work with Metro apps. If I'm playing audio through Slacker, as soon as the app goes into the background is reduces the audio by 80%. Anyone know how I could fix this? I assume it's just a bug where the control panel on the desktop interface doesn't interfere with metro volume control, but the apps do. Anything is appreciated.

Click to collapse i already question that to the support of Microsoft.. not answered yet.. but i think in maybe an update will come the volumen control to the metro apps.
I hope they can fix this. It's also annoying that the "Metro" apps don't have the individual volume controls that were introduced in the "Mixer" feature in Vista.
Moto x quick capture problems
ok, so i recently just got my new moto x and its perfect besides these 2 problems im having with the quick capture feature and playing music from touchless control. The first is playing music i would tell google now to play a song e.x" ok google now. play tunnel vision" it would pull the command up and tell me" playing tunnel vision by JT" then it loads it to google play music app but instead of playing the song it just does a search in the app and not play it. its really a hit or miss with this feature as i got it to work for about 10mins but then the problem reemerged. Through some searching i found that the touchless control problem is a bug apparently. any verifcation on this would help alot. the other problem is with the quick capture feature in the phone. ive practiced the motion many times with flicking your wrist and have gotten it to do it multiple consecutive times but i can only do this if ive previously manually opened the camera app. e.x the gesture wont work at all if i havent previously opened the app no matter how many times i twist the device but when i either open the camera unlocked or from the lock screen the quick capture starts to work perfectly everytime time i twist. is anyone else having these problems or does anyone have solutions?
I can't get the music to start right either. The first time I tried it asked which app to use. I selected PowerAmp. Now it starts PowerAmp but doesn't start the song. As for the camera, I hold the phone in my hand and then make a quick movement like I'm trying to flick a booger off my finger and it works everytime. : )
I've heard others mention that with playing the music, you have to select whether you want to use Google Play. I've never used the feature because I do all my music through Pandora, but you may need to select Google Play Store or Google Play Music app to play stuff on your device. As for the camera motion, I was confused about it at first for quite a while. I was "twisting" the device by holding it vertically in portriat mode and rotating my wrist left or right (turing the phone clockwise or counterclockwise while still keeping it vertical). Once I figured out that you flick it side to side (turn the device to face left/right quickly) instead of rotating, it works every time.
About the TC problem I've already selected Google play music to play the songs but it doesn't play the songs just uses the search in the music player.

IDK why, but it reminded me somehow old good Spotify. Moreover, some time ago I have made my own similar app called Musicka, after which I have even made my own guide h2d it. But your app seems like a nice memoris of old audio-drugs 2000's hype Good luck !
