Hi.
sometimes (at least once a day) it happens to find the volume of notifications at 0. The volume of calls, system and multimedia are ok, that of notifications is set by itself to zero.
do you have any suggestions on what it might be?
Do you have any automation turned on? (Bixby Routines)
I use DnD during the night, but it is set like the other phone

Hey,
I´m having a little problem: I´ve set the phone to vibrate when an email arrives (in the sounds menue). Also the phone is set (via the buttons on the left side of the case) to only vibrate when a call or an email arrives.
The vibration alarm works when the phone is on. But if the phone is in the sleep mode (display is turned off), it doesn´t vibrate at incoming emails.
What am I doing wrong here?
Secondly I´d like to know if there´s a way to e.g. let the phone only vibrate on system events and to let it actually ring, when a call is incoming.
As far as I can see, I can only set it to vibrate in both cases.
Thanks for your hints,
Thilo
Ok, Question #1 is solved:
is seems that the phone/os can only execute one option at a time: either ring OR vibrate. Now, if you have marked both, playing a sound and vibrate, the last marked item wins.
E.g. if you first click on "playing a sound" (I don´t know what it is called exactley in the english os version) and then on vibrate, the phone vibrates when e.g. an email is received and vice versa.
But how about the two different settings for "System" and "Ringing"? Is it possible to set "System" to vibrate and "Ringing" to a certain volume level? I talk about doing this with the volume up and down buttons?
so long,
Thilo
I'm using the notification power widget buttons to change sound modes on my phone.
I usually tap it to change it to Silent at night (no vibration, no sound) but sometimes a call or a message would wake me up even though I had set the phone to silent.
I recently discovered that the phone changes to Sound+Vibrate at midnight. I'm using this ROM but I have no idea if that's what is causing the problem.
Anyone else has this issue?
Ive noticed since I got my X on Monday that randomly my notification/ringer won't make any sounds. Even if I have it set to the loudest possible setting. When I choose the volume thru the volume buttons the sound when raising or lowering doesnt always work either. I have all the settings correct to make sounds. Could this be a Lollipop thing, or is it my X? Has anyone else had this happen?
Yeah, it's been happening with my device aswell.. no idea what could be the reason, either the Lollipop update or some conflicts with moto apps perhaps? Wish I could fix it.
Bumping this in case someone finds a solution!
I found that if I use the volume buttons to change volumes it goes silent. So I just adjust the volume in the settings/sound to change volume.
I've noticed that the volume takes a step down in certain apps and situations, for instance: whenever I get a notification from whatsapp with the screen both on/off, the volume is rock solid.. but whenever a notification comes through facebook messenger with screen off, the volume is ABSOLUTELY low; meanwhile, with the screen on the volume is fine with both of them. SMS, Youtube and Email notifications are fine aswell (for now).
EDIT: well, it happens randomly even when ringing from a phone call even after adjusting from the settings and not the volume rockers. Gosh, Moto should fix this one asap.
If we had a LED I wouldn't care. I have to keep turning my screen on to see if I have a text msg
Hopefully I'm just missing something, but possibly this is just how the s6 is.
I'm coming from an HTC One m8. One thing I liked is when i put the volume down all the way and onto vibrate, the notifications would all vibrate - and if i brought the volume back up and vibrate turned off they no longer vibrated... seems sort of simple.
But the s6 doesn't appear to be handling them this way. As far as I can tell if I want a notification to vibrate I need to go into every app (twitter, messenger, gmail. exchange email, calendar, etc) and turn on notification vibration there individually, at which time they will vibrate regardless of the volume setting. If they are turned off, then they will not vibrate at all regardless of the "global" vibrate setting.
Is there an easy way to enable vibration on all notifications and then easily turn back off?
Ever since Lollipop I have been frustrated with the lack of ability to turn off the phone's vibrate easily. I used to just set my phone to silent mode all the time (in fact, all day at work). Now my phone is probably louder than it would be otherwise simply because it's vibrating my whole freaking desk every time a notification comes across. I tried using tasker to just lower the volumes but you still can't turn off the vibrate. How in the world can I get this phone to simply show the notifications on the screen (or my Moto 360) without sound and without vibrating?
Also just to add, if I set my priority to None, it will be silent and still show the notifications on the screen, but then they won't show on my Moto 360. Ugh.
For 360-only notifications: Android Wear app -> Settings -> Mute phone alerts & calls
This way, your phone will be silent and your 360 will function as normal. However, this won't stop your 360 from vibrating.
