Hi, just upgraded from my Galaxy Note to the z1 yesterday.
Very impressed with the phone so far, but I have encountered one strange problem that I can seem to find no other comments about.
When I connect a headset (the bundled one, specifically) and turn my phone to silent mode so I can enjoy my audiobook in peace without being bothered every time I get a new promotional email, the notification sound plays over and pauses my audio book.
It does this no matter whether I turn the phone to silent, vibrate, turn the ringtone and notification volume to 0, and whether or not I make these changes manually or allow the smart connect app to make them for me.
The strange thing is, it only plays the notification sounds when something is playing through the headset. When I'm sitting just using the headset as a handsfree then everything behaves as expected - if a notification comes in, the phone will vibrate, flash the notification led, but won't make a peep otherwise. But as soon as media is playing, the phone seems to make up its own mind to vibrate and play the notification sound even though I've put it on silent.
Am I the only one experiencing this bug, or, more surprisingly, am I the only one who finds it hugely irritating?
Can anyone else even confirm if this behaviour is normal or is there something bugged out?
Over 60 views and no one can even confirm if this is actually how the phone is meant to deal with notifications?
Yes, I think is just You. Anyway, you have to play with settings because there have to be the solution, if you do not that mean is how supposed to be. If you are Rooted maybe you can edit some notification so if they will not show up you will not listen the sound in the handset.
I've tried everything! On my other phones (used an htc desire hd and a galaxy note) once I had my phone on silent then I didn't get audible notifications whether I had a headset plugged in or not. On the Z1 though I can't seem to get rid of them. I only hear them when I'm playing music, I wouldn't mind if it gave me an audible notification if I just had my headset plugged in as a handsfree and wasn't listening to anything, but having my music interrupted is pretty annoying, and I still don't even know if it's just something stupid I'm doing or if that's just the way it is.
I'm not rooted, I don't really want to since it stops sky go from working, but if it can stop the notification headache I might be willing. Don't really want to install a custom ROM unless the camera performance is as good as stock either
Yeah, I get it too. Too lazy to check the player settings though so not sure if it is something in the player settings that is doing this

Good point, can be the player too.
haven't seen anything in the walkman or audible apps to turn this off and never had to do it on my previous phones. oh well, at least i know it's normal now, hopefully they fix it in an update. thanks.
On my HTC One running CM-11-20140220-NIGHTLY I can not hear a lot of sounds.
I am unable to listen to notification sounds and ringtones when I go to select them which I used to be able to do before I updated to one of the nightlies.
When my phone is awake I sometimes receive notification sounds like I normally should but when my phone is asleep I never receive them.
I never hear the ringtone when I am receiving a phone call.
I have tried everything that I can think of to fix this issue but I am just at a loss.
It has not just recently happened. It has been happening for the past 6 or 7 updates, the reason I didn't post sooner is because I was hoping that it would have been fixed by now. I'd like to know if this is a common issue or if it is just happening to me. Sound works just fine on my phone so I know it's not my speakers. When I play music etc. it plays just fine. It's only ringtones and Notification sounds.
halp
please halp ):
Listening to music and noticed the top speaker is significantly louder than the bottom. Has anyone else experienced this? Im currently on Pure Shamu 2.6 and am going to restore back to stock to see if that might be the issue, just wanted to see if it might just be my unit.
me as well, looked it up and found your thread
I have noticed that also.
Hi, could everyone that has the nexus 6 with the top speaker that is louder, put there ring tone volume on 100 or 75 and play your ring tones and confirm if you have some distortion with some of the ring tones, kind of sounds like a blown speaker, a raddle like sound, and also make a speaker phone call to see if you hear it as well, don't really hear it when playing music, just on rings and speaker phone at a higher volume
I think I've narrowed it down to Viper sound. I reflashed back to stock and the speakers worked normally. Then i reflashed pure rom and speakers still worked. Gonna test on my next to be sure.
Well I'm on a stock ROM since I bought this phone and I noticed that the top speaker plays louder. It's a bit annoying because I'm the kind of perfectionist person...
After I flashed Marshmallow NightOwl 20160711 rom, sound does not come through speaker anymore when I plug my headphones in. This pretty much made me sleep right to midnoon for several days. I even tried an app with an option to make alarm come through both headphones and speaker only to no avail. I guess the problem lies with android 6.0. Anyone here has an idea how to fix this?
Try reinstalling the rom
So, sometime last week my speakers started being super quiet. I can hardly hear a call/video call on speaker. The notifications are super quiet too. However, music seems to play at a decent volume. Anyone else having this issue?
Haven't seen or heard of this. Are you unlocked and or rooted? That your music plays somewhat normally is hopeful. If you already maxed out the volume for call, ring, notification and alarm. I would try to reset app settings under Setup>>Reset options. If this doesn't work, wait until the Feb. image comes out and dirty flash that. If that doesn't work clean flash it (wiping data).
