I just find that the ringer is often not loud enough for me. Maybe it's my ripe old age of 32 that has brought me to this point of degraded ability but if I leave my phone downstairs or vice versa, I usually won't hear it ring. Worse is the one time sound notification, that's rather short in my opinion, for SMS's. Both of these are even worse if I forgot to remove my phone from the protective sleeve.
I searched and only found people having issue with the volume in relation to calls but no mention if I could increase ringer volume above what is currently selectable. Is there any way to increase this volume and/or extend the ring time for the text notifications?

According to that website, they tested the G1 ringer volume and found it to have the lowest dB of all the phones they tested.
Is it that speaker is underpowered? Is it possible that we may be able to re-encode the ring tones with a higher volume to help compensate?
I don't think it has a low volume... I think it has to do with what you are using because it is just as loud as my Wing when playing music.
What I'm using? As in which ring tone? I've tested several different ones and they all seemed the same to me. Do you have any suggestions?
I have the same problem frequently, it isnt that you dont hear the rings or notifications, they actually dont play at all. I have had this happen with my phone on in front of mewith a great signal, and I call it from another line. It "rings"(but never does), finally ending in a voicemail. When I hang up and check the G1 it shows a missed call and voicemail.
Unfortunately there is no fix, just a reminder that you bought a phone that shouldnt be expected to work until the system is given time to mature. Until then, you either return the phone, sell it, or live with its limitations. (or so I have been told)
No, I have that happen too, but I do frequently have it ring just not loud enough for me to hear it. I know because my girlfriend often has to tell me when it's ringing if I've left it in another part of the house.
I have also noticed that the ring volume isnt great with the standard wring tones. Using mp3 ringtones is better.
Notifications do sometimes seem buggy. I have had no notifactions with messages when i have had the message application open. Not even vibrate.
I have missed calls installed now for notifications and it seems to not happen anymore.
Theres also a program out in the market that allows you to create your own ringtones from full songs. You could just cut a song into a small section and use that for messaging.
Its called ringdroid

The down-side to this feature of the program is, the notification light will stop. If you check your missed calls, texts, so on from the bar on top.
You have to actually open the "programs" manually to keep the notification light working.
Ex. if you get a missed call, instead of pulling down the notification bar to check. Press the call button once.
if you get a text, open the messeging inbox using the messeging button or SMSChomp button.
Try to limit how often you have to pull the notification bar down.
Pulling the notification bar DISABLES ALL notifications of all kind.
Anyone else have a problem where notifications keep reverting to using sounds ? I like to keep mine on vibrate so i go into Sound and turn notification volume all the way down (why they have no "silent" option for notifications, i dont know !!!). It will work for a little while and then i start hearing my notification sounds again so i look in settings, and notification sound is set back to 20% or so. Only way to fix it is to use silent mode, but that would affect phone calls as well which i dont want.
I've searched for this functionality and not found any good way off doing it.
I leave my phone on loud at night so certain notifications will wake me in case of something important. To wake me some of these notifications are loud and extremely annoying. I would like for my phone to vibrate first, then have a delay of over 30 seconds before the notification tone. I would like the notification tone to not play if I use the phone between vibration and sound.
Can anyone point me in the direction of an app or mod and that would let me do this? Google has failed me so far.
I don't want to create sound files with 30 seconds of silence at the start as this requires me to mute my phone and then I may forget to turn the volume up again.
Does anyone know how to turn ALL notifications off? I know you can go into the app settings and turn notifications off per app but is there a master toggle? It's annoying when watching a movie or something and you hear the notification sound go off. I've been going into each apps settings and turning them off but sometimes I forget one. Or even if I could mute the notification volume that would be awesome. I just see no option to turn off all notifications or mute them all

Upvote. These notification sounds are really annoying. Especially since they stop music playback in spotify (without restarting it).
OnePlus 6T, android 11.1.2, not rooted
At a (very) random interval a notification sound short 'bleep'.
It doesn't show on the notification bar or notification history.
It sounds during calls, during other use, or just when my phone lays untouched on my desk. When charging or not charging.
Sometimes no sound four hours and then several within a few minutes
It's not a sound I configured, but I can't be sure with so many settings.
I know it must be a notification because the "Ring & notification volume' slider controls the volume of the sound.
Any help to help me fix this is much appreciated.
