Hi,
I have recently encountered a wired problem. Searched for web for similar issues, seen few same issue, but differ a bit.
I recently was surprised that phone stopped ringing or sound an sms alert or any other app alert such as WhatApp.
I tried to change the sound in sound settings for SMS, Whatsapp, Calls and Handcent app. All of which, didn't do any sound at all. When I select another sound within the apps, nothing is played. Some of them, played a standard beep instead.
I realized also that the alarm had a problem. It simply didn't sound at all at morning and therefore I was late to work that day :-(
anyways, I read on the net, few said, remove the battery for few seconds, did so, and helped, but problem comes up again. So I decided not to remove the battery anymore as it is a temp. solution only.
Some said, in Applicatoin settings, Sound Sets, clear data. Did that, and sometimes helps other doesn't. So another temp. solution.
Sometimes when it happens, I keep trying selecting different sounds, open different apps, changing their notification sounds, and suddenly, I can hear something when changing notification sound, then I know it is back again.
Now it has been happening for around 10 days, and didn't figure it out. I might need to do a hard-reset, but prefer not to as I hate installing all the apps (lots) I have installed and doing all the settings again. It takes long time. So I need another solution.
Something is strange, I am almost sure its not a faulty hardware, but maybe an app that interfere with something.
Anybody experienced such thing?
Hi everyone
I have a rather annoying problem. My Standard GS5 (SM-G900F, Stock Rom 4.4.2) will from time to time, play the notification tone while on a call.
It's totally random and there's nothing to notify at all as nothing shows in the bar at the top as normal. It will happen maybe 3-4 times a week, and it's getting annoying having to going through all my message apps to see if there's a new notification (when there isn't).
Is this a common thing?
it's not something i've ever encountered, no. it sounds like the most annoying thing on the planet, though.
This problem keeps happening and it is very bad, for me anyway. Especially if if my alarm doesn't sound or I miss calls (4 calls today).
Basically, the sound will either just...stop or will become intermittent. By intermittent I mean that notification sounds stop in the middle, only getting half the notification, and the volume "beep" only sounds every other time the up or down volume is pressed.
The first time it happened i ended up rebooting and that temporarily fixed the problem. The second time I did the same and wiped the cache. Again a temporary fix. The third time i noticed something again that I had noticed the first time. Youtube videos will not play. I had pulled youtube up to test the sound the first time. At that point I thought it was a problem with youtube or the youtube app, but it happened again exactly the same way. So I killed the youtube app and voila, sound was back. So now I am thinking it was the youtube app. The 4th time, the youtube app was open in the background and I just killed all the background apps. Again, sound is back.
So now I think I have it solved. Something to do with the youtube app, right? Apparently not. Today my sound just...stopped while I was sleeping. I missed four calls from my wife and my alarm did not sound. There were a lot of apps listed in the recent apps but NOT youtube. Not at all. I closed all the recent apps and again, the sound came back.
Is this maybe some kind of RAM management issue? or....I have no idea. It's happened before and after both of the updates.
Not using any kind of external device at all, no headphones or speakers. Bluetooth is off. Location is off, NFC is off, WiFi is off (though it has been on for at least one of the times the sound stopped).
I've had the half notification issue randomly. Not as bad as you though. ?

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.

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.
Phone notification vibrate shuts off all other notification sounds

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.
Hi.
I've encountered a problem two times now that I don't get any sound from my alarms and notifications. Just this morning I had 5 unheard alarms and a few notifications on my phone that went off silent. I did some testing with new alarms as well and they only showed up on screen. No sound. And yes, the volume is turned up?. The problem is resolved if I restart my device, but since it already happened twice, it will most certainly happen again. I should add that between the first and second time it happened I did factory reset the phone.
Anyone else having the same problem or have any tips I might try?
Since last update i got the same problem....
Glad I'm not the only one then? I also have the problem that makes the ear speaker really low so I have to use the other speaker to be able to hear a conversation.. This also happened after last update. I hope they resolve it soon.
Someone found solution for this ? I have the same problem now. My notification sounds goes off randomly...and my phone is set on sound, not vibration or mute.
When i press on the volume keys and check the sound level, the notification bar is on mute.
