Hi. I just got my Moto G and i have a weird sound problem. Every ringtone and notification start to ring really quiet, then after a second volume increases to maximum. I can't see in settings to enable or disable this feature. The problem is especially with notifications as they don't last more than a second so they never get a chance to increase in volume. Can anybody confirm this problem so I would know should I ask for a replacement? Thanks...
EDIT: The problem seems to be only with facebook messenger. the phone seems to recognize it's sound as ringtone, not notification tone so it's bearly hearable...weird...

Yes, facebook notification only vibrates and doesn't ring. Other notifications ring correctly. But ring for the calls start at low volume and then increases. That's by design as per Motorola.
I have the Same problem

I have the same problem, i don't think that it's a Motorola default configuration, when a start to use the phone everything goes normal, every notification app sounded loud even Facebook Messenger app, but now some application sounds whit few volume, for example Hangouts, Whatsapp voice note, Facebook messenger, etc.

I am facing the same problem too. The ringtones starts with a low volume and then it increases. BTW I am using the single SIM XT1063 8GB one.
Yeah, but I can live with lower volume ringtone in the very beginning of ringing... What bothers me is that I can't hear freakin notifications. The problem is only with facebook messenger where you can't hear a damn thing. Viber, whatsapp, etc. are ok most of the time.
Yep, same problem here.

I fully agree with you! :good:
I am having the same problem is horrible
Gravity Box (Xposed) has an option to deactivate ascending ringtone. I didn't test it, but maybe it helps.
I did and no it does not help.
Same problem... Try press the like button.. at start you cant hear anything and when it blows up you can clearly hear it.. hope to be fixed...
any found a solution? this is getting on my nerves :crying:
The problem with the notifications I've solved using the program Light Flow. Whatsapp, gmail, sms, missed calls, now run smoothly. Incoming calls, have told me that you can solve with this program, but I have not found the right configuration.
Click on the upper left corner (1), to go to the drop down options where outside activate the Light Flow, and other stuff, click on Settings Notifications (2)

I am glad you work out. It is gratifying to be able to help.
If someone finds out how to fix the problem with the ringtones and alarms, really appreciate it.
You have to play with the sound system configuration and Flow of light, but I have not found the right solution.
In the System props section, you can set the volume level:
# System props for audio
.....................
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=8
# FM maximum volume be between 0 and 8192 (0dB)
ro.audio.fm_max_volume=4096
In # ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES paragraph reference to the audio file is assigned by default.
# ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES
.............
ro.config.ringtone=Moto.ogg
ro.config.notification_sound=Moto.ogg
ro.config.alarm_alert=Oxygen.ogg
A direct reference to the rising tones in the build.prop (21.11.23 titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.reteu), I have not found anything.
Same here. My problem is with Facebook and Whatsapp. Facebook Pop Sound is inaudible because of the ascending volume. Whatsapp notifications sound finne but when you go to set a tone in settings you cant select fine cause it hears like ascending ringtone.
I contacted Motorola Chat Support and tell me to repair the phone or replace it in Motorola. But... I think... Isnt it a common Moto G 2nd Gen Bug????
I´m kind of dissapointed with Motorola, I owned a chinise phone (Star S7189) and change to Motorola Moto G cause Chinise one doesn´t had factory upgrades. Now With my Moto G I saw several Bugs and I never received a software update from Motorola. Really Sad
I've learned to live with this problem too, its more of a feature.
Moto G 2nd generation
Motorola says its a feature that can't be deactivated. They said something about hearing protection because the speakers are in front.
I red somewhere that this "feature" was built in at hardware level, so you can't solve the problem with installing custom rom. Someone who has installed custom rom on his device should share his experiences.

Hello,
I really really want to set the msgbox alert sound off. it is anoying.
yet, i dont wisht to mute all sounds because sms recived ring wont be played.
I need to cancel only that sound, when a msgbox appeares and alerts you.
anyone know where can i adjust it?
thanks
I have a hard time figuring out how to disable sound for incoming emails, i would still like to have it appear in the notification bar, but by god i cant seem to find where to disable the sound
However it must be possible. So i am hoping someone can help me ?
Sendt fra min GT-N7000 med Tapatalk
Just turn off the notification sounds via settings /sound /notification sound. That will apply to all notifications though, sms, whatsapp Etc.
This reminds me... Is there any good free app that will allow you to set individual tones for contacts and apps such as FB and other games that notify you when its your turn to play, etc?

You can change this setting per account without changing the system notification sound level. In the email account settings you can specify the notification bar alert, and the sound / vibrate. Set the sound to silent to mute any account.
Can someone who already has this device comment on the volume of ringtones and notifications?
It's damn loud frightens me to death every time some one rings me

I don't have this yet, but I've heard it's like a freakin' blowhorn
Yeah, it's LOUD
Oh yes, it's dam loud, mine is on the lowest setting and it's still too loud haha.

its the loudest handset iv ever had even vid clips sound amazing and loud
but be warned if used as a alarm clock do a sound test first cos mine just woke the whole street up at 5-45am lol:victory:
That's what I like to hear, thanks!
dont find my ringtones that loud it was a lot louder on my galaxy note 2 but music and youtube is way louder
Yeah it's damn loud and for me it is a real issue as you cannot dissociate Ringtones volume and notifications volume.
You'll either have to lower the volume to the point notifications are barely audible or have everyone around you staring at you because your Led Zep Kashmir Ringtones sounds amazingly loud in your office.
If anyone got an idea to dissociate these 2 volumes please shoot
I didn't plan on using another ROM than the stock one but I'm seriously considering it for this very reason.
stock boot up jingle is very loud, its now gone, cos on rooted arhd 3.6
Loud. Too loud for my liking in most instances.

Try using a volume control app, it seperates the ringtone from notification. I have the notification & ringer on 1 (of 7) which is fine.

Have a rooted Dev Edition One. Not being able to set separate volume settings for Ringer and Notification was pretty frustrating. I installed Power Toggles and can now set separate volumes for Ringer and Notification.
I have always used Tasker to change these volumes depending on where I am and the time of day. However, on the One, even though Tasker shows separate volume settings for Ringer and Notification, it sets them both to whatever is the last action. For instance, if I am at work, I set my ringer volume to 1 and notifications to 5. Depending on which one I put first, both volumes get set to the last one set. Any thoughts on how to set these separately using Tasker?
Thanks.

Just tried around 15 different apps for controlling the volume. Most of them separate the ring and the notifications, until you go back in and they have linked again.
There does not appear to be anyway of unlinking them

Dang it! You're absolutely right. Power Toggles appears to allow the volumes to be set separately, but, when I go back and look, they are set the same. I set my ringer at 1 and notifications at 5 this morning (I use a really quiet notification sound and even at 5, it is not too loud). Was in a meeting at work.. I get a call and the #&%$(*(*$ ringer goes off SUPER LOUD!!! So terribly embarrassing and uncool.
Hard to believe that HTC would have goofed this one. Haven't seen any other phone to date that does not allow setting the volumes independently. If I can't find a fix quickly, this will force me to start flashing custom ROMs. (I really like Sense 5 and had made up my mind to stay stock (albeit, rooted) for at least a few months).
The only app I've found can actually separate and keep the setting is ICS Enhanced Ringer Control (or Volume), it is a paid app, however, after changing system sound profile from normal > silent or vibrate and the phone still rings... I am so frustrating, it is either adjusting the actual notification file volume for a workaround, or install the ICS control app but you will lose the sound profile feature.....
The other alternative is Sound Profile apps that takes over system profile, it separates notification from ringtone and has its own profile widget you can put on your home page for fast switches. It also comes with scheduler that replaced my other sleep silent apps, so finally I picked Sound Profile for all trouble saver, and it is free.

I agree; these suckers are too loud.
To help to deal with this, I installed HandyPhone, which allows me to set any ringtone to become an ascending ringtone. With luck, I can answer before that ringer becomes really intrusive.
Honestly it hurts my ears someyimes because of how loud it is

Hi
Can anyone confirm the following.
The notification and ringer volumes are linked. Now when I set the ringer volume to level 1 and choose a ringtone and notification in Settings->Sound, they both play at a soft volume. If I then receive a WhatsApp, Gmail, etc the notification is loud, a lot louder than when I selected in the settings. The ringer volume is still soft though.
I then tried to troubleshoot. If I increase the ringer volume, the ringer and notifications get louder as they should, except the notification get MORE louder. Its would seem that notification is honoring the volume level, but notifications have been amplified before being played. Even playing a sound via Lightflow or Tasker results in this extremely high volume.
Can anybody confirm this odd occurrence I am experiencing.
I have the same problem too.. Let's just hope that in the next update we will get a separate notification volume slider
yes, confirmed. This annoying bug is there from the very beginning.

OK, I found a pretty good work around.
I only use 3 notifications sounds, so I copied the three ogg files from my previous rooted phone onto my PC. You will likely need root access to copy from the Huawei, so you could probably just Google your notification sounds and download them.
I then downloaded Audacity from http://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html so that I could lower the volume of the sound files. You can merely drag-drop the file into Audacity from Explorer, and it will open a wave representation. On the left of the wave is a -/+ slider where you can change the clip volume. I reduced my files by -20db, but you could choose you own negative value. I then saved the files. During the save process a dialog will come up where you can set some meta info like a title. I added -20 after the title so that when the phone lists the sounds, you will know which one is yours. I then copied them into the /notifications folder on my phone, or even add into draft gmail which you can then access on your phone and then save into /notifications. When you go to your app or settings to choose a notification sounds, you will see the original and the "new" sound in your list like below, hence why you need to add the -20 behind it.
Pixie Dust
Pixie Dust - 20
When you choose the default notification sound in settings, it will sound very soft. But when it actually plays for a notification, it will be close to the same ringer volume. It will also get louder when the ringer volume increases as well :good:
During call notification sound like wechat or wsp app still make sound very loud.very anoying n its hurt my ear.how can i fix this.so regret buying this phone so expensive but quality so dumb even my s5 can control n dont make sound during call

For galaxy S10, do you have any problem with LINE messenger call not respecting the phone volume setting?
Set Volume Setting to Silent
Use another phone to call via LINE messenger
Expect the phone (s10) to be silent without any ringing sound
But the phone is ringing (which i think it use the call volume) and the call volume cannot be decrease to zero which is annoying right now
Not sure if it is because of S10 only or because of Android Pie itself.

Maybe it's the app itself. How you looked in settings at the app's notification settings.
I'm not familiar with LINE messenger but I assume it's a 3rd party app, then setting the ringtone sound setting may not affect it. Try seeing if it's coming through as media, notifications, or system. Screenshot attached for reference.

I tried this on my Galaxy S8+ (Android P). There is no problem. The app respect the phone voice setting properly. Silent or Vibrate.
I noticed 1 thing. When you call your S10 phone, (while it is ringing, do not pick it up) try to adjust your voice volume (press volume button). You cannot decrease voice volume to 0 on S10 but you can on S8+.

Thanks, I think it using the In-Call Volume. Not these volumes (Ringtone, Media, Notification, System) and the In-Call volume you cannot decrease it to 0 on S10.
