[Q] No SMS notification sound while music is playing - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Pretty self explanatory; when I am listening to music with the TouchWiz Music Player app, any text messages I get through the TW SMS app will not mute the music or play the notification sound I have selected.
Any ideas on how to fix it? It's driving my partner nuts whenever she tries to send me a text when I'm listening to music.

Upon further investigation it appears as if the SMS app is designed to do this; it will only vibrate while the music player is going (even if vibrate is disabled in the app's settings), but it will not momentarily mute the music and play the notification sound...
This is not good. I want the text messaging app to interrupt my music in case I receive an important message that needs to be responded to.
I was using the AOSP Mms.apk before, which did interrupt the music, but the AOSP messaging app doesn't turn the screen on (and the Vibrant has no notification LEDs) making it hard to notice a text when working and the phone is sitting on the table next to me...
Doesn't seem like I can win... unless someone knows how to hack the TW Mms.apk into doing all four things (turning the screen on, playing a notification sound, vibrating and muting the music)...

[Q] UnNamed 1.2.0 - Notifications volume drop

Hello all,
Searched for this and didn't quite see anything about it. I'm running UnNamed 1.2.0 and have noticed that all notifications volume except the ringer drops to very low levels out of nowhere and for no apparent reason. I check the volume in settings and all are at max. Sometimes it seems this is triggered by a text message... The only way I can restore volume is to "clear memory" in running applications. Wondering if anyone has experienced this and could shed some light as to what can cause this.
Thanks!
What audio player do you use? I noticed that if in poweramp, I didn't have Pause on notifications enabled, the notification volume was much lower.
Using the stock music app and google music. Checked for settings but can't find what you refered to.

Text Message
Hi guys,
I too have the text message problem when ever i browse or send or receive the text message in my phone i get bell type of sound apar from notification sound. I think there is a problem in text message as it was modified.
Turns out is not the volume that drops but somehow the sound comes out of the ear speaker instead of the speaker in the back of the phone. Maybe someone can post this in the development section?

[Q] Don't mute music when a notification is received?

Is there is mod I can load onto my rooted EVO LTE that doesn't mute music when a text is received? It is annoying, I am listening to iHEARTRadio and receive a text and it mutes the radio and plays my text notification and then turns the audio for the app back on. I would like a mod where the notification ringtone will play in the background but does not mute what I am listening to. Does this exist? Either something to flash or a file to edit?
You're best bet is probably vibrate mode. Personally I just mute it. I'll see the notification eventually.

Phone is quite quiet

My phone become silent (at least for all kind of notifications voice calls, SMS, emails, tapatalk and all other events)
While I the sound plays on preview in sound picker.
I can play music via media player also. Only notifications are silent when they should play.
Assigned notification tones are all valid.
Phone is not in quiet mode or rest hours. Having CM11 installed..

Check the setting, the rom is almost stable so there is not an issue like that. Reflashing the rom will probably help.
I was looking at it and fond the source, my phone was swiched to night profile which I didn't know because I don't use profiles. After switching to default profile all sounds are played again.
Have another problem with sound: sometimes after phone restart the sound menu and all other apps sound settings don't locate the assigned sound tones although I can locate them in place by root explorer. They're placed at /system/media/audio/.
How that's possible the audio files are sometimes "invisible" to Android and apps they use them for playing notifications?
In field for selected ringtone there's label "unknown ringtone" instead of chosen ringtone. This fixes sometimes after phone restart.

[Q] Annoying sound - from there ?

Hi. I do not know what's going wrong, but every time I get a new mail or otherwise, which is displayed at the top of my Galaxy S6 edge, so the phone plays the annoying sound that I can not find how I change.
I have change and controlled notification sound for SMS, MMS, e-mail, to have their own sound, but still comes The infinite annoying sound every time.
How do I determine what is submitting this notification sound?

Notification when media is playing

My songs or videos tend to go on "mute" mode when a notification goes off. I don't want my song to be muted and then play skipping the lyrics while the phone vibrates for imcoming notification.
Is there any way to solve this issue?
yeah u are right while incoming notification blocks the music sound and the music doesn't pause instead plays on and lyrics skip.
Even i am trying to figure out if there is any settings to change it

Hold the app from which notification comes and tap app info. Go to manage notification turn off allow notification.

Hello as far I think this is not a software issue, I read about something like this much earlier once. Actually most budget phones come without a dedicated sound chip for music and share the one inside the processor for both media and sound notifications. As a result when a notification comes in the current media u r watching gets muted. You can prevent this from happening to some extent by putting the device on silent and turning vibration off while watching or listening to content.
Even in silent mode, media is getting muted while we receive notification on realme 3 pro.

Actually the notification mute mode (can be enabled by tapping the icon below volume changer panel, dont know the real name of it) is helpful in your situation. Media is not paused or muted in this mode.
