I have had problems when killing cprog.exe during an incomming call. On some occasions if vibration has already started it becomes hard to stop it. I have found that if I set my own notification to vibrate, then clear it, the phones rinniging vibration will also be stopped.
This would be useful except for the fact that the users notification settings can overide my notification vibration and prevent the clearing effect.
Is there any way to make a phone vibrate without using CeSetUserNotification? Or how can I override the users notification settings? Normally I would not want to override someones settings but the only other way to stop the buzz would be to reset or receive another call.
EDIT...
I found this
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2207&highlight=vibra
And the code works for turning the vibration off and on. I need to do some testing to see if it can reset a calls vibration and if it works on all my devices but it looks promising
hey all,
a while ago, suddenly one day without notice, my phone started behaving funny when receiving an incoming phone call.
Often, the Phone App's GUI wouldn't appear in the foreground. the phone would ring and vibrate properly, i could silent the ring with the volume rocker, but i have no way to answer the call. i know when it is finished ringing when i can see the missed call notification in the notifications bar.
also, during the ringing, i can continue using the app that was already in the foreground, the home button is disabled, and the notifications shade is disabled (cannot be pulled down)
i have no idea what i did to cause this (maybe playing with Handy Call?) and no idea how to get out of this state.
the worst part is, it seems to be random, i have no idea why it happens sometimes and not others. it is super annoying. ive actually started assigning specific ringtones to important people so i know immediately who is calling.
any one encounter this? any ideas?
xt907 running stock Rom 183.46.10, rooted, unlocked
at some point of the day i noticed my notification sound no longer working.
I got all the msgs on my notification but with out sound.
turning off and on didnt fix. only the battery pull worked.
it happened like every once a day. some times I have to do battery pull twice a day.
I had this phone for a wk now.
anyone having notification sound issue?
even the turn off screen and on sound muted.
There's a few bugs, nougat is brand new, they'll fix things. My headphone kept buzzing one time until a restart
Its not just you. And I don't think its exactly something to do with Android 7.0
If you look at how your audio menu is when you change the ringer volume, you'll see that when the phone is set to vibrate, it actually MUTES the other two sliders.. it doesn't set them to vibrate. With that in mind, it seems more likely LG has a bug, than Android 7.0 having a bug.
Having this problem as well with my H910 (AT&T). It's very frustrating indeed. What's even worse is that it seems sporadic in nature, sometimes I will get a notification chime, sometimes I won't. As skyedream said, a battery pull is the only way to get consistent notification sounds, if only temporarily.
I think I get this too. Often I pull my phone out of pocket to find I had a text that I never heard.
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I had this problem too yesterday where it was just frozen. Did a restart and all seemed ok after. First time that happened.
This happens to me as well. Also, I will get double notification sounds at times. Like an echo. Or, a different sound mixed with my selected sound. A reboot fixes. Have to do it a couple times a day. Very annoying.
No sound for notifications + no web video playback
I also have same issue with notifications. No pattern on what causes this, but a reboot gets rid of this (just for sometime! and the problem is back). I have also noticed apps not working smoothly and unable to play web videos including from Youtube app and Facebook App. Overall, tad disappointed with the software quality on this set.

Good call, thanks! I also notice that even though I have Sound Settings-Volume-Touch & Feedback sounds Off, I still get haptic feedback vibration on keyboard while typing this reply to you. It goes away when I go into Sound Settings-Vibration Strength, & turn slider off for Vibrate on tap. The Settings software isn't connecting the overall Volume Profile with the Vibrate Strength settings it seems. I don't know enough to know whether this is Android or LG. Under Vibrate Strength you can control notifications too, though haven't yet tested. Hope this helps til it gets fixed.

I just tested texting...even though on quick settings slider notifications for text are grayed out, while call setting show vibrate only, in the full settings menu, under Vibrate Strength, you can slide the vibration strength up...I did this, sent myself a text, and phone vibrated the notification. I think it's messed up that I can't shut my call notification off completely, including nvibrate quickly with volume key or quick settings. Have to go into full settings menu sound & select silent. Please fix this Android/LG.

Ya, I have the exact same problem... (I have a H990DS)
I can't seem to even fix it with a reboot.
I have emailed LG about the problem - we'll see what they say...

I experience the same as you. I usually clear regents and then hit restart and all my notification sounds come back and videos. I'm just wondering, are you using any type of ad blocker? I use the ad block browser and I've noticed that whenever I open my browser, that's when my notifications get muted.
Issue resolved after update
Hi, looks like this issue is resolved with the update I got in January 2017 end. But not sure what caused it to fail in first place. But as of now, all is well after the update. Cheers!
I still have this problem over here on T-Mobile. Very annoying.
Anyone ever find a fix? Having these issues on a new LG V20 US Unlocked connected to Verizon.
Bumping this to see if anyone has found a solution to this. My V10 started muting notifications when the ringer volume was set to vibrate on one of its later updates. I figured it was a glitch in my phone since I didn't see anyone else complaining about it. This was one of the reasons i decided to upgrade to a V20. I was pretty surprised that it did the exact same thing and it's apparently by design. Who in their right mind would think this was a good idea?
I'm not sure of the cause, but I had many calendar reminder alarms fail to sound over several days when I got this V20. I tried different calendar apps and ended up with one called aCalendar. It works OK most of the time, but there is still a serious issue. If ANY other kind of notification happens to sound right when a calendar alarm needs to sound, the calendar will NEVER sound its reminder notification for the alarm. I've had this happen several times with incoming text or social networking message notifications. I hear those, and then the subsequent alarm that should have sounded concurrently is silent. I've had to set 2 reminders for the same important event, spaced 10 minutes apart, to try to reduce the odds of this issue hijacking an important notification. I've not seen this exact problem ever before on any Android device. My US Unlocked V20 is 100% stock. No idea what to do about it. But from what I can glean online, neither LG nor Verizon plan to push any future updates on the V20, so we're stuck.
For contact selecting unique notification tones that actually stopped working
I got this LG v20 and I loved it...still do....but... how do I keep certain text notification tones thst i select to not change back to default?...on its own? Crazy. I use zedge ap to download ringtones n notification tones. Maybe there is an issue there?
@Dkb123,
If you could please add some punctuation to your post, it might be easier to read so someone can understand your problem and help you .
I am using a rooted HTC One m10 with Viper ROM and am having the same problem. Echos notification noises, turns off alarm and notification sounds, and it is beyond annoying. I have already had to reset it twice to try to fix it and nothing has worked. I have no idea what is causing it but when I try to open my alarm app it says it was disabled and could have been caused by a system time change (which didnt happen) or battery saving (where I have it whitelisted). I will try disabling my ad-blocker. I'm not sure how those things could be connected but since it was suggested I will give it a go. I am consulting all of the developers I know about this but so far nobody has an answer. I am kind of starting to freak out because I need my phone to work. I have 3 kids under the age of 6 in school and need to know when someone has to get in touch with me. Before the last reset, I also saw that when my notification was disabled and I went back in to reenable it, it had been switched back to the sound I had selected the time before that. One more note. When I go in to check my notification noises, all of them, my ringer, notifications, and alarm, are all blank for about one half second before they repopulate and then show the correct tones. If it were as simple as it being my ROM someone would have posted it on the thread because it is a pretty big problem to have gone unnoticed. Is it possible we are all running an app or have a shared setting that is causing this to happen to only us. I had to dig pretty hard to find this thread in the first place. It might help if we posted a list of our apps, what do you guys think?

Hi. You posted this in the wrong area. This is for the LG V20. Try searching the HTC One M10 area for a solution. Someone there might be able to help you.
So whenever I am getting a call on my phone I am not getting the caller screen. Its just staying in the notification bar. So in order to accept or decline the call I have to pull down the notification bar and then do the following.
I don't know why is this happening.
If somebody knows the solution ,let me know, please asap.
+1 and this is irritating. Is there a fix?
Don't get it quite don't you have notification head's up on incoming call so you wouldn't have to swipe notification bar. Or you are talking when the phone is locked ?
Are you using bluetooth?
anyway: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/black-screen-incoming-calls-t3741578
Just try to force stop phone app in settings and clear data. It should fix it. Clearing data won't clear your contacts. Happened to me. I did this.
Erasing the app data is work for me ,thanks.
Xiomi note 5 pro
I have been using my note 5pro for almost one year. Since yesterday my all app calls such as what's app, vonage, imo are not showing on my locked screen. I can hear phone ringing but can't see who is calling untill i turnon my screen. I can get chat notifications on locked screen but not call. But normal network simcard calls are working fine. Tried almost everything. But just not winning. Can i have possiblle solution please?
Does anyone know how to disable the Alert Ready system in Canada on a NON-rooted phone, so I don't get these stupid notifications? 99.9% of these are so far away that they're pointless.
I already disabled the Emergency Alerts option in the Messages app but that doesn't appear to have worked.
Has any tried removing com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver through ADB? Not sure the consequences of doing that...Might just screw everything up lol. I haven't had time to test.
Thanks.

If you have TWRP recovery, just make a full backup and try.
Did you get this to work? I want to turn them off as well!
I'm not rooted and didn't have time to backup and try.
It should work but you will lose all system broadcasts (data usage notification, roaming notification, etc.)
So I finally had the time to try this after being woke up several times at 3 and 3:45am for an alert happening 1600km's (1000 miles) away and this didn't work.
There is no package on my phone called com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Quite honestly if you guys don't have anyone to call you for whatever reason in the middle of the night, make a "routine" for silent mode during your hours of sleep. I'm in Canada and I was never woken up by these messages. My phone goes to vibrate from midnight to 6am. Barely an inconvenience...
Yeah, unfortunately I can't put my phone into silent mode or turn off for the night.
I don't mind getting amber alerts, I think they are important, I just need to get rid of the sound lol. I wish there was an option to disable the loud alert and just get them silently - If I'm out during the day, I would see them even if they are a silent notification.
FYI - it looks like putting the phone in silent mode or turning on do not disturb doesn't work for stopping the Canada Alert Ready broadcast.
Still looking a way to mute the alert...
I've been wondering too... Got like 6 in a row today about 5 minutes apart each, same thing for 1000s miles away. I tried within messages app but no dice despite there being settings available.
I did just try blocking that number those all came from to see what happens there if anything.
The odd thing also is, when one comes through it changes my notification vibration intensity to far less in my settings. And for whatever reason, my keyboard vibration seems attached to that setting too. So to type after getting these alerts I was missing most of that haptic feedback that I enjoy - though most don't. Finally figured it out
I don't understand the many in a row with the same info. Thankfully I was awake at the time, this time.
I wouldn't mind at all if they pop up, with no sound and no vibration. But no such luck so far.
I'm not even sure as a rooted user what I could do to stop them. My last device didn't support them. This is new to me! I would keep this device in wcdma mode and avoid completely, but for whatever reason texts take SO long to send on anything except LTE...

i was getting them on my Cricket S9 until i flashed the U1 firmware and removed any sign of cricket from the phone. I havent got one alert since then
I bought my phone outright unlocked though from best buy .ca, not from a carrier so it's not carrier branded at all. Seems the sim card presence is all it takes to perform alerts....
i *may* have come across something! I wont know until theres another alert whether or not these settings are overridden as well when amber alerts come in. But just tonight, kind of my accident, I had plugged in my phone to my PC, and while intending to change usb connection type, i actually found a whole other menu of settings. the notification for "usb for file transfer" given by Android System, I accidently long held on it, and then i got curious so i clicked details. that brings up this menu of android system notifications, one of which is "alerts" which was by default set to urgent under importance. scroll down a bit more theres another option "network alerts" which was also set to urgent.
Ive fixed both of these. And now, we wait... this may have already been tried, im not sure. but i just wanted to share in case it hadnt
Didn't know that menu existed. My 'alerts' was set to sound (beep once) and the 'network alerts' was set to sound and pop-up. Not sure if these are for the network alerts like amber alerts or for other alerts such as roaming, etc. I live close to the border and will go down next week. I usually get a data and roaming alert when I cross into the US. I'll see if I still get it with those two turned off. Have to wait and see with the emergency alerts...

[email protected] bro!! nice find!! i also just went into that menu and disabled network notifications. Lets see what happens now. I live in south dakota, so the weather alerts should start rolling in any time now LoL!!!!

Hmm interesting keep us posted! I wondered if they were all in the same category, maybe severe weather and amber are "alerts" and roaming is "network alerts" ? Not sure but maybe? Either way I put both to no sound. I don't mind the visual popup, it's the overriding sound settings that scared the crap out of me while sleeping. Silent is fine
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
So I went to the USA twice in the past week. I had the 'Alerts' turned off both times and:
First trip, I had the 'Network Alerts' turned ON and I received my alert that I was roaming.
Second trip, I had the 'Network Alerts' turned OFF and I did not received my alert that I was roaming.
So that definitely prevents the alerts from your service provider. We'll have to wait and see with the next amber alert if it prevents that as well.
So we got an alert tonight... I can't say on vibration, but my phone was on silent and it definitely didn't make that horrific screeching sound. I wasn't in the room so I can't speak on if it still vibrated or not. I have mine set for visual only but no sound or vibration... Hopefully if there's an update I'll be next to my device to confirm further on if its totally silent like I set it to or if it over rides and still vibrates... But horrific screech is definitely gone so far [emoji846]
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
So I had my phone on me for the first alert and the volume of my phone was turned down. I received the alert and the horrible screeching sound but it was at the volume I had my ringer set to so the volume was low.
I turned my phone to vibrate after that in case there were updates - I didn't want to be woken up. Not sure if my phone vibrated or not but there was no sound for any of the updates I received (two I think total).
I never received anything from today's amber alert text - no popup, no annoying sound, nothing at all.
I use Google Messages for my text messages and did the following in Samsung Messages:
1. In Samsung Messages>Settings, I disabled all permissions and blocked all notifications under all sub categories.
2. In Phone Settings>Apps I selected Samsung Messages and under App Settings I blocked all notifications, revoked all permissions, set Appear on top, Change system settings and Install unknown apps to Not Allowed. I also Force Stopped Samsung Messages to be sure.
Then I set Google Messages as the default messaging app.
Another user on Reddit wrote:
"This technique works because the Android Messages app expects the com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver package to handle WEA message (so Android Messages doesn't have any code to receive them), and the Samsung Messages app (which you can't remove, which does have WEA support) no longer has any permissions to receive anything, so it can't alert you even if it wanted to. This deadlock basically ensures you won't get alerts, provided you never enable Samsung Messages ever again."
This disables all alerts. It's too bad they didn't develop this system to allow users to silence the alerts. I'd be fine with a popup or message, I just don't want to be woken up at 3am to a blaring siren for something happening 1000km away from me...
I can confirm that even without disabling Samsung messages, all the other settings I had changed made it so that only a silent pop up happened. No screeching, no vibration, just the visual message only. My device was set to silent.
Still can't say what kind of sound it would make if my sound were on or if it would just stay silent. But with the goal being to not jolt me awake and terrify me, I'd say mission accomplished!
I don't mind the visual one at all. In that regard I only mind when it's duplicates of the exact same alert. Just because you'd think they'd want to work all the bugs out before starting to use it.
But if they're testing it today, I guess that means they're at least working on it. Progress!!
Personally I use a different third party texting app cuz I love my theming. But I bet it's similar to android messages where it doesn't have the ability.
I'll sometimes see alerts later in with my regular messages, but it doesn't screech at me. That's what matters lol.
When you've got a disability that limits you, you can't exactly help search to begin with. If anything real alerts just produce a bit of guilt in me that I can't do more to help even if it was for something actually close by.
Side thought though, when it is a true amber alert, instead of just a text description, why don't they also send pictures? It would be so much more helpful. How many guys have dark hair and drive a pickup truck, an accompanying picture would go a long way. Maybe in the future that will be a next step? [emoji848]
