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 - 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

So in various widgets that let you control volumes there is:
- Ringer
- Notification
- Media
- Alarm
- Voice Call
- System (What is this and when is it used?)
PS: Im on stock 2.2.1 FRG83D

Yes, Settings > Sound > Volume > Use incoming call volume for notifications
Thank you very much haha. That was so easy I feel stupid. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

I'm pretty sure Google Navigation used to use the System volume, but it doesn't seem to anymore. Now I think it's only used for keyboard sounds.
Also used for the shutter sound in camera
Thanks man, works for the camera shutter. But has no effect on the volume rocker making noise when adjusting volume.

Right. It shouldn't, should it? It doesn't make sense to use a volume for that sound other than the volume of the channel that the button is changing.
I was looking for a way to mute the volume rocker. I am using NoLock app so I don't have the lock screen sound on/off feature so I am using the rocker and hold down, to go to vibrate but if i want to go back, it makes a noise.
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

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.
What app

What app are you using?

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.
Using an ascending ringtone app

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

I have problems with not working ringtone profiles. They dosent work at all. When i want to change volume, I have to use side buttons. Its only way to switch volume. I have this problems on all official software versions.
and just what is it that you would you want your phone to do to have a working ringtone profile? you can assign a different ringtone to each contact, and a picture as well. if you can't specify the ringtone volume level for each contact it doesn't mean it is not working. it's just that phone software doesn't support that function, and i see no use for that since you can chose no ringtone at all for a desired contact. and what's wrong with using side buttons? you want on screen volume slider? is it really necessary?
I mean that when Im switching profiles (normal, vibrations or silent mode) nothing is changing and sound volume dosent change. I have to use side buttons to turn down volume, and some times it dosent work corretly (e-mail notifications are always loud)...
Next, I cant turn down email notifications... All ringtones are set down manualy but email notifications are loud and are driving me crazy at night...
Anyway to separate the ringtone volume from the notification volume?
Cause seems the 2 things are in 1 only called ringtone, but i want a low volume on notification and high on ringtone
is possible?
On other mobile brand this things are splitted
thank in advance
I couldn't find a way to separately change the levels, I wanted to do the same and couldn't find any way to do it.

There is no direct way to do that but you could extract the notification sound you want and reduce the dB by 50% on audacity on PC and add it back to the phone.
any external app can use for this
Only Samsung and LG phones have this feature to unlink ringtone and notification tone volume.
You can use Volume butler app on play store, serves the purpose.
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.
