Notification Volume "loud"

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.

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

Volume Butler is an third party app that could help

Possible to have vibration on notification ?

It's hard to understand why there is no LED on the Nokia 8, not necessarily a color one like on my trusty Lenovo P2, even a white one would do the trick for notifications...
Anyway I don't like audio on notifications so I was hoping to have the phone vibrate but that doesn't seem possible, am I missing something ? Thanks for any help !

Just turn Notification/Phone ring Volume to 0 should be vibration only

That would also mute phone rings, which I doubt OP wants.
@webvan You can manually turn of notification sounds for each app by long-pressing an app icon and tap: App Info -> App notifications -> Messages -> Sound -> None.

Thanks, yes I'd still like the phone to ring !
Will try the app by app setting.

ok so I tried that method and you can indeed dig into the notifications and when they are set to a high or above importance you can activate "vibrate" and deactivate "sounds". Thanks !

Seems crazy that 10 years into Android development there is no option to only make your phone vibrate when a notification arrives instead of making a sound !

May I ask what apps you are trying to turn off sound notifications? For Instant Messaging apps like Viber, Signal, Telegram, etc. I can easily turn the sound notification OFF and leave the vibration option ON. Some apps don't have those options simply because they don't send and/or display notifications.
It's strange to hear you can't do that. Try exploring all the options around the Notification Settings in each app.

Oops, had edited my message in the meantime! Yes I found that the trick is to set importance of the notification to high or above to get control of the sound+vibration settings. All good now!

Ringtone Off but Messaging/Notification sounds On

Good Morning,
I just picked up my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 this Sunday and I'm loving it so far. The only problem is I work in a location where I need my ringtone off but the ability to hear my notification and messaging alerts. Kind of like a beeper/pager. Is this something I can do on the Note 9?
Thank you

Yeah that's super easy. Hit volume down, and a volume slider will appear. Then hit that little arrow in the top right of the volume slider. That will expand it to include Ringtone, Media, Notifications, System, and Bixby Voice (if you set it up). You can adjust them individually that way.

When I attempt to mute/vibrate my Ringtone. My Notifications and System options automatically white out so that I cannot change them.
Ultimately I want Ringtone (Phone Calls) on vibrate all the time and my Messages Notifications to play a small chime.

? You're right. Guess I never tried it, just assumed it would work.
Ok, do this: Go to Settings, then Sounds and Vibrations. Click on Ringtone. Then set it to Silent.

My apologies for the delay in the response. I set it up and did some testing and this is working perfectly. Thank you very much for the reply. I greatly appreciate your help. :good:

Separate notification and ringtone volume

Hi!
I just want to know if there is anything I can do to separate notification volume from ringtone volume as I could not find anything on the internet that worked for me.

Try to use tile settings from play store, it has 3 sound modes in tile

I don't think you understood my question. I don't want to switch between different modes, I want to set different volumes for ringtone and notification. I have tried Volume Butler, Precise Volume and other such apps but they decrease the ringtone volume along with the notification volume & vice - versa.

Thanks for the link, but I have already figured out a way of my own. I am using macrodroid(Tasker's free alternative) to increase the volume while the phone is ringing and automatically decrease it after the call ends or I miss the call. ?
????? Thanks for trying to help me. ??????

I am glad you resolved bro :fingers-crossed:

I don't find any solution for this problem! If I use apps to solve the problem they say that it didn't work of course the system set the ringtone and notifications twice. So is there any fix for that. I need a really loud ringtone sound for work outside. But if don't won't a really loud notification. I use C26 One Ui Android 10.
I hope that you can help me out!
Thanks!

Use tasker/automate/macrodroid or something similar to automatically increase volume while the phone is ringing and then decrease it after the call ends.

Can you give me an export file of your Macrodroid Macros. Of course I have problems with the settings.
Or can you tell me your correct settings for each macro.
I hope that this is possible for you!
Thx a lot.....

triggers: phone ringing, call ended, call missed
actions: if trigger fired (phone ringing)
increase ringtone volume to 100%
if trigger fired(call ended or call missed)
change ringtone volume to 30%
constrains: not dnd/vibrate/silent
Hope it helps

Not realy..... :laugh::laugh:
1) Phone ringing
triggers: phone ringing
actions: increase ringtone volume to 100%
condition 1: not in "do not disturb" - allow all
condition 2:sound on
2) Call ends
triggers 1: call ends
triggers 2: call missed
actions: increase ringtone volume to 30%
condition 1: not in "do not disturb" - allow all
condition 2:sound on
3) No sounds - only alarm
triggers 1: not in "do not disturb" - allow all
triggers 2: no sound
actions: increase all volume to 0% and Alarm to 40%
These are my macros. But I dont find the way for "only vibration" for my 3 Option.
And I am not sure if two macros are enough.And what means "allow all"? If this trigger is true - it allow the action?!
I put my macro export in the attachment.
If you have the time I would be happy if you put your export in the attachment of your next post
Thx a lot......

My Macros doesn't work. When call comes in it is under 30% or 30%. And the 3) is really wrong, after I get up today I'm in vibration mode and can't get out. I had to stop the macro 3).
So I hope you are rescue me with a export of your macro.

Try removing "allow all" dnd condition first.
It may work then
I didn't check my mail that's why I didn't know that you were still facing problems.

Notification tone and ringtone

Hello, everyone. I want to separate the notification sound from the ringtone. How can I? Which app should I use? Or how do I do it with the adb command?

I may be missing something here... but if I've understood correctly this is standard in the system. Settings > Sounds & vibration > Phone ringtone or Notification ringtone (set them as required)

Ringtone and notification sound work together on Huawei phones. There's got to be a way to separate this. It bothers me.
