Nexus 6: Notification Issue After 6.0.1 Update - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ringtone and notification problems
Hi
I have recently bought 2 nexus 6 phones from amazon, and updated it to marshmallow 6.0.1.
I found some issue in the ringtone and notification sounds in both of them:
Notifications sound of third party apps like facebook, and messenger are low however the notification sound of messages and gmail app are normal.
When the phone rings it starts ringing in low volume for about 1 or 2 seconds, then it continue in normal level.
Also when try to set the ringtone from settings for the first ringtone you try to listen it starts ringing in low volume too for 1 or 2 seconds then return to normal level.
are these problems a software or hardware issue?
If they are software issues, is there a way to fix it?

Software issue. There is an unnoficial fix in this thread. You'll need to be rooted though.

[Q] Nexus 6 Speaker Issues

I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with their speakers on the Nexus 6 when receiving calls or messages?
Randomly my ringtones & notifications come in crackling as if the speakers are blown. It doesn't happen much but it's kinda annoying. I think the speakers are fine because playing music or watching videos at max volume sounds great.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated
I have also had this issue. I'm running stock rooted with no mods. Would like to hear If anyone else is having this issue as well. Also would this issue be addressed in the new 5.0.1 update?
I am having issues hearing the conversion tone when sending or receiving messages via WhatsApp. The notification rings but within a chat it doesn't play any sound. Is this happening to anyone else? It's driving me crazy.
Same thing here. Especially with FB Messenger.
There definitely seems to be some static or degradation on some of the notification sounds and ringtones. I noticed the same thing.
I think it has an overactive EQ/Preamp type of ordeal going on. I think there is some sort of software built in that is trying to act like a DSP to save the speakers. For Example just turn up your volume to max and keep hitting the up volume. You will probably notice the volume beep will change volume several times throughout that. it will also be noticeable when playing music.
I have also noticed some strange crackling that I never had on previous Nexus devices. I am certain it is software and hope for an update to resolved it. I also noticed that many of the things going through the speakers slowly get louder. For instance, hit the speakerphone button while in a call and it starts at like 50% volume and goes to max in about 5 seconds. Kind of a strange fade up that I haven't had before...

I also noticed the gradual increase in volume on everything including alarms. Glad it's a common issue that will hopefully be addressed in a future software update.
Thanks everyone for your feedback.

I am having an issue with the stereo speakers on my Nexus 6. Every time I listen to music, watch a you tube video or watch a movie on my nexus 6 device, I notice that when I put it on maximum volume it will get loud then suddenly drop down to between 30 to 50%. I'm not sure what is the deal with that, but I can tell you its freaking annoying. Also been having issues with the fade in as well.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Sorry, I haven't had that problem. Since updating to 5.0.1 I've noticed that my original problem hasn't been happening for calls or alarms. It still does happen with the clock app though. What version are you on?
Ever since i updated to 5.0.1

I would like to see some of the Viper4Android users chime in. I am hoping V4A fixes all these issues...

anyone had this issue sorted yet. today i noticed while using speaker phone there is a static sound and low voice volume any ideas
Viper did not fix the issue
I'm thinking its hardware as I have tried stock and benzo ROM. Nothing seems to fix my low volume issue
Mine does this after flashing kernels or roms sometimes. A clean flash back to stock then reflash rom/kernal with extreme beats fixes it. I've had 3 nexus 6s and they all did this. Even when I flash stock image it don't sound quite right until I flash extreme beats 4.1. Viper has only caused problems for me.
Crackle is noticeable
I noticed the crackle sound straight out of the box simply by testing out some ringtones. This had me disappointed but even worse if I start to think I got a defective unit. It's weird because the problem does not happen very often and it's an issue that I can't demonstrate so easily, but it's there. Reading this post about people having the same problems makes me believe that there could be a update or software solution. By the way, playing music sounds great, the thing happens mostly with game sounds and ringtones.

[Q] Lollipop audio problems

i updated my moto G using the script located in HTCMania made by AlkalinoRap and the firmware of my retail XT1068 , but i also heared about some people having the same problem in OTA
notifications just vibrates (im not in interruptions mode), they were working before,
and when someone calls me, i cant hear them, but they can hear me. Speakers aren't broken, they work, at least in multimedia (music, games, videos)
i have rebooted the phone, and the problem don't disappears
any suggestion to solve the problem?

Dont solved the problem... So i have same problem. Iam on 5.0.2 and here is my info--->
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...

It is NOT a bug. It is a feature by Motorola. Called Ascending ringtone.

Ahh yes, this problem. I got it when I installed Viper4Android. Had something to do with SELinux.
Assuming you are rooted, all you need to do is reflash whatever sound mod you've installed and set SELinux to permissive.
Assuming you are on stock unrooted, it might be a bad system image file. Reflash the ROM.
Problem solved, just a few reboots after the bug

Nexus 6 low sound notifications

Hey all, I recently bought a Nexus 6 and is totally stock.
I'm facing a problem with low short sound notifications, such as Facebook pop and Facebook messenger, or even SMS short notifications. Most of the time are not sounding. Some times this happens with the call ringtones too, they start at low sound and after they maximize. Anyone else has experienced it? Any fix for this?

This is a "feature" of lollipop. There are a few threads discussing it. Search this and the general forum.

Thanks for the answer. Is there any ROM without this "feature"?

[Bug] App sounds stop when intrrupted by a notification.

Hey guys, first time poster here.
Got my P9 the other day, very impressed compared to my old LG G3.
Recently I've noticed however, when running a game, such as "Pokemon Go" or "Fallout Shelter", it runs completely fine and smoothly full sound, etc. up until it's interrupted by a notification by another app.
I.E:
>Playing "Fallout Shelter".
>Get a pop-up notification from Facebook/whatsapp.
>Sound from app running stops and won't start again.
>Try backgrounding "Fallout Shelter" and coming back to it, still no sounds.
>Force stop/quit "Fallout shelter"
>Open/run "Fallout Shelter" again, sounds are working again.
>Get a pop-up notification from Facebook/whatsapp.
>Sound from app running stops and won't start again.
>Repeat.
Not so much a life changing issue, but really rather annoying. I'm assuming this is a software bug, as I've had no issue with this on any of my other devices. Is anyone else having the same issue?
If so, does anyone have any solutions?
Kind regards,
Jake
Same here, sadly I have not found a solution jet

Yep same issue here. Get a text message while playing Pokemon Go and poof, no more music or app sounds until it is quit and re-opened again. Wish these bugs were addressed as they're pretty blatant and annoying.
What about Piano Tiles 2? Sound is totally muffled and of low quality. Anyone experiencing the same problem? It's like Huawei p9 can't play two audios at the same time.
Nothing was fixed so far, right?
Okay guys, I found a small work-around. It is not really convenient but it could solve the issue for you:
There is an app called Volume Control: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netroken.android.persistfree
and in the app you have the chance to lock certain volumes, like that of notifications, alarms, ringer AND media!
Media was the important one. So it will play your music or apps on the same volume level even if notifications come in. That is not the best solution as you might miss notifications and calls might sound strange with both volumes on max. Anyway, maybe that helps...

Sound issue, strange

Hello,
I have strange issue with a sound.
The problem is that when I watch something on youtube aplication with volume on max and when I receive a message from messenger my youtube gets on a very low volume (maybe the lowest) and I have to volume it to the max again.
I am on Pie .195 update.

Hello. That is not an issue. It's a priority for notifications. Even my old P9 does that while listening to music or watching a video on youtube. It does that so you can notice the notification. I also have an Asus Zenfone 3 with android Oreo,does the same.
I think you can change this from settings,but did not look too much into it.
I think you can disable this for the app you want by going to settings/apps/youtube (or music,or any other app you want to keep its volume) and then "notification management",then choose priority display.
I did not test this,I am at work and can't try it right now.
I restarted my phone and it is now like it should be I suppose.
Youtube gets "silenced" for a second when I get notification and then it return to its original Volume.
