is there a way to split ring volume and notification volume? - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Hi i was wondering if anybody has any way of changing the ring and notification volume separately, this is a feature im missing coming from samsung is there any fix for this?

No, that's a new "feature" of Android 9. No separation anymore.
What I did was to download the sounds I use to my PC, lowered/raised the volumes where needed, and put them on the phone again.

I was just trying this same thing a few days ago, i swear i thought you could do this on older phones.

Controlling system volume

As far as we know, there is no documented way or API to change system-wide volume on WP8, however...
It looks like author of the Quiet Hours application found an udocumented way to do this! Probably he is using ISimpleAudioVolume interface but I really don't know...
Any thoughts?
P.S. Guys with interop-unlocked handsets: could you please install the app and download/post the executable/assembly?

I tried this app it didn't work for me i set time but it can't set my phone in silent mode.
I'm really interested that this app can change system volume.
I remember there was an app for fully unlocked wp7 devices to change system volume but now i can't find it.
Maybe Ativ S users with Interop Unlock and Full FS can help with this. They can get app files and upload them to check how is it possible.
I looked for decrypted xap file but i didn't find that

Yep, looks like the void Shell_AdjustVolume(int) call is exactly what he's using... Hmm, I need to try myself!

Try to pin app first, and manually toggle the volume by tapping tile (you don't need to wait 30 minutes).

I tried waiting over 1 hours to be silent but didn't work .
I know Pin tile work it has no problems but working with time is better .
Adjusts the volume by the number of steps specified either up (positive) or down (negative).
Code:
HRESULT Shell_AdjustVolume(int numberOfSteps);
I also noticed that if you set the volume to 0, and play a WhatsApp voice message, it plays on full volume although it is set to mute. Anyone know how this is done? It would be cool to be able to use this to set important reminders

What'sApp voice messages use the "phone call" volume (/10) instead of the normal system (/30) volume. So it doesn't matter if your system volume is muted the app will use the headset phone call volume...

Could you please list your "several ways"? Thanks!

[Q] Custom Ringtones & Notification Sounds?

I'm searching for a way to assign a custom MP3 ringtone for each contact on my 6P, just like I did for my Galaxy S3 & my Note 3. A free or paid Play Store app (doesn't matter which because I have that $50 Play store credit) would be ideal!
It's really bumming me out that the latest & greatest Nexus 6P just doesn't have that capability, or am I missing something blatantly obvious here?? For example, on my Note 3 when my Sister calls, I would hear Weird Al's "White & Nerdy". When my mother calls, I would hear "Like a G6". And when my boss calls, I would hear Cheech Marin's voice knocking on the door saying "It's me, Dave...D A V E!" His name actually is Dave, so that just fits! You get the idea.
Any suggestions for an app that would watch for incoming calls, then play the ringtone I would assign to that person? I've already transferred all of the MP3's, notifications & ringtones from my Note 3 to the appropriate folders in the 6P AND they are selectable for a default sound, but no custom contact ringtones or custom notifications sounds for each event.
Not rooted (yet, but most likely will in time) so still all stock with build MDA89D
You help will be greatly appreciated. And if I'm missing the obvious here, please feel free to laugh at my pain!
I use Light Flow for that. Other folks here have posted that it works for them without root for LED customizations, but I haven't received my 6P yet to test it myself... If it works, it should do both custom LED and sound notifications.
If you go to contacts and edit the contact you want once you hit edit touch the 3 dots it should show set ringtone in the options thats just for incoming calls only not for messages

That solves the custom ringtone problem. How did I miss that one?? I tried to edit the contacts as you said, but I completely missed the three dots menu. [face palm!]
But Light Flow sounds as the way to go. I'm used to having a blue LED for missed calls, green for text messages & red for voicemail. If the 6P has those options already built-in, then a lil customization of those couldn't hurt!
On that note, it is *ridiculous* that Android doesn't have the possibility of individual text tones.

Use Rings Extended in Play Store...can assign any ringtone or notification, ANYWHERE
If you use Hangouts for SMS, you can set a custom tone for each conversation. I still prefer Light Flow, though, because it lets me change LED colors, blink rates, and durations per notification type/person. It also allows similar options for custom vibrations.
I may get the anti VZW hate on this one....but I use Verizon messages. Can use individual text tones on that. I like the app as when I switch roms, it syncs all texts and pic messages for me. No need to back them up and they are also on my tablet. However, I agree that it's BS that google does not make this a feature in the stock messaging app. I used to use Hangouts before switching to VZW messages.

Just tried this with no joy. Only the stock ringtones seem to work. Will we have to root to assign custom sounds?
If you go into the default messenger app

Hit the 3 dots in upper right
Select People and Options
Click Sounds
Select your custom notification tone

Got my 6P on Friday, and for the life of me couldn't find how to set this, even though I had it set on my Nexus 5. Thank you!

Then you don't know Android... Try again.
The solutions for messenger & hangouts are temporary. If you delete the conversation, they'll reset next time you get a message from that contact. If you want permanent solutions, you need something like textra or handcent.

I don't think it should be necessary with a third-party app to do that. On the iPhone the feature is build into the OS.

Well, I'm just comparing ideas and that happens to be one that I like. I don't get why you react so aggressive to me saying that I would like it to be a core feature of Android. After all, you could do this on a Nokia 3310. I don't get why it is a bad thing to request these much more sophisticated devices to do the same. I won't ever get an iPhone an have been using Android for years - but the ring tone thing - I *personally* think that iPhone handles that better.

No one's being aggressive. I just think it's stupid to compare features that way. Well the iPhone has it, why can't I? Do you want a big round button on your phone too? Do you want an apple logo? The iPhone has them. And I'm going to assume you're semi intelligent, being that you are on these forums... Making a request, as you put it, will get you nowhere here. Messenger & hangouts are Google Apps. No one here is going to add those features for you. So your request here is gonna get you a 3rd party app. But since you already said you didn't want that, guess you're out of luck. Enough on the that. Good day & good luck in your search for a 1st party app that has those features

I know all those things. That's why I've been a Handcent user for years.
Here is the solution.
Download a file explorer app such as ES file explorer.
That's it.
Now where you chose to select ringtone, you will be ask to chose from..
1. ES file Explorer
2. Media Storage
Choose ES file explorer and find the song you wanna put as ring tone or alarm tone.
That's it.. Work done for free.
This even works for individual contact tone.
Open the contact in the edit mode..
Click on those three dots for further options.
Set ringtone and then chose the ES file Explorer option.. ?
Why do my custom ring tones and notifications reset themselves sometimes? I'm using stock, locked, unrooted N6P.

Phone calls won't mute even with setting on Asus zenwatch2 selected

Hi everyone,
I have done a search on the forum and have not found a thread that is similar to the issue I am having. I recently bought an asus zenwatch 2 and after hours of extensive research I think it may be a known issue, now I am posting to see if people have found a way around this or an app that can do it. Basically, I understand that Android wear watches receives notifications based on what the phone receives. If phone is on silent I wont receive any notifications either. So here are a few questions I have:
1) I have mute phone notification setting on my Asus zenwatch 2 selected on the android wear app, However, this does not apply to phone calls, if I get a phone call it will not mute the ringtone and will ring on my phone. Is there a known solution or an app that can stop this?
2) Is there a way or an app to separate the notifications setting so that the watch and phone can be controlled separately? Something similar to Pebble method of notification settings?
3) I was wondering if there is a face designer app that allows you to customize watch faces with unlimited widgets on the watch face, instead of just 3? Is there one that is compatible with wear mini launcher?
Cheers!
1. I use Tasker for this. I noticed that option didn't work for me either.
2. I don't know what you mean by this but you can set the notifications for every app in the application notifications settings menu on the phone and block apps from the android wear setting.
3. Try the Watchmaker app.

Thanks Jahciple,
Still learning about tasker, but it seems like it is a saviour for android users, I'll definitly look into it, thanks for the idea. Will I need to root?
In regards, to the second question, I meant is it possible to be able to control the notifications separately from the watch? Such as having the phone on silent and the watch still vibrates? Or say, having the watch to silent and the phone on vibrate? hopefully this makes sense.
Yep, found watchmaker and am using, definitely what I need.
Cheers!
I don't think there is way to control the notifications like what you are stating. I used Tasker to just turn off the vibrate on the phone when my watch is connected through bluetooth and then just put my watch in theater mode when I don't want to receive anything on the watch at the moment, but once you disable theater mode, you should still see the notifications. I really wished there was a way to turn off the vibrate on the watch, I just want to hear my phone, when a call is coming in and then look at the watch to see who it is.

Anyone Using "Do Not Disturb" Feature ?

when i turn on do not disturb the phone still rings ?
called Sammy and they were worthless, anyone get it to work ?
I just tried it, it was silent for me. Do you have the scheduler on?

no, from what i read the scheduler is an option if you only want it on between certain hours, it should
work simply by turning it on. it says it's enabled in the pull down notification menu and there is a ∅
in the upper left corner but it still rings ?
Edit : i turned on the scheduler and it still rings. . . . . . .WTF ?
i'm beginning to think this Note 7 is a POS, so far i'm having bluetooth issues, do not disturb doesn't work,
and smart switch gives an error when trying to back up files. my Note 4 worked(s) perfectly and had zero
issues !
Do Not Disturb works for me. Are you sure that you didn't setup an "exception" to allow your phone to still ring? I just tried it and no phone call came through. The only exception I have setup is for an Alarm to sound.
Once you turn on DND, then tap on the "Do Not Disturb" wording. In this section is where you can setup exceptions or clear them out if something is setup that you did not want. Specifically check out the "Allow exceptions" section.

That actually sounds like a good idea. You've had too many issues and even though I've only had this Note 7 for several days, I haven't had any problems. Samsclub has good customer service, don't they? This really is a nice phone!
Dang sorry! Sounds like a bad phone... I don't know what else could cause the issue.
a hard reset fixed the problem
apparently using Smart Switch to migrate all my apps, pics,
contacts, etc. from my Note 4 created some problems.

Auto-DND when charging?

I'm using the LG Style and would like the watch to switch to DND when it's being charged, switching it back to allow notifications when removed from the charger.
Have I missed a setting or is there an IFFT rule I can apply?
I can't be the only user who doesn't understand why my watch buzzing on the desk -- far from my arm is supposed to be in any way useful.

Here is the app you want.

I don't use IFTT, so not sure there. I use Tasker and AutoWear, and it works great. Surely you can figure out how to do what you desire.

Thanks but I know of that app -- I have zero desire to link the phone and watch DND (I'm one of the few people who think they made the right call in separating the two).
I want my phone to stay completely silent 100% of the time. The watch I want to notify of messages/calls ONLY when on my wrist.

I tried Autowear that "When power connected" change "zenmode" to 1 but it doesn't work. Can you help with how you've done it? My only goal is when my Wear OS Watch is charging, DND is turned on on the watch. (It's a Fossil).
