Volume and duration of notifications - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I have Moto-E 2nd Gen from Cricket bought earlier this year.
I'd like to increase volume and duration of notification for appointments. Right now if I pick one of the available notifications, it beeps just once with whatever sound I picked (and if I have headphones plugged in but am not actually listening, then I don't hear at all).
Sound is also quite low.
I'd like for notifications to be like alarms, i.e. keep ringing till I do something or at least ring 5-6 times.
Can someone help? Appreciate it

If you have the 2nd gen, you are in the wrong forum. You need the Moto E 2015 forum.

[Q] Popping sound between songs

So I just got my S5 yesterday, it is all stock unrooted. When listening to music in the car, between songs, there is this popping sound. Not super annoying, but still it's not very pleasant to hear. Also happens when a notification sound goes off in the middle of a song, between the end of the notification sound and when the music starts again. Anyone else have this problem?

Try resetting your phone if it stops the problem, otherwise, try flashing stock firmware, this will not trip your knox. If the issue is not resolved, return the handset for a replacement.

Are you using Bluetooth? Could be an interference somewhere or your volume on the phone is turned up too loud.

Is your phone connected to your car's speaker? Or are you just playing the music over your phone?

I have the same problem. It is not too often, but it does happen every once in a while. I notice it more when connected to car speakers (via cable, no bluetooth). I am not sure if it happens with (regular, no bluetooth) headphones.
My phone is also stock, no root or anything. I've noticed the first time I tried it. I am not sure if I need to return it or not...

It might be the cables. Though I have not experienced this with my phone, my earphones used to have the popping sounds and then one day one side just totally went off only to reconnect occasionally when I move it to a right bendy position, with the poppy sounds. So it might be the cables.
Click, pop, or stutter.

Yes, always happens when using bluetooth over car speaker system. Turning on the screen will stop it from happening. From the information I have found here and on the web, the power saving that samsung wrote to help conserve battery let's the CPU go into a low power state when the phone's screen has been off for a period of time. But if you happen to be streaming music, it will start to skip, pop, or stutter. If you turn the screen on for a short period, don't even have to unlock the lock screen, it will stop misbehaving for the same short period of time. However, if you plug your phone in while driving, you can just leave the screen on and you should not experience the problem. Hope this helps, you can google it for more information.
Pop Issue solved.
I've solved the issue. The reason that it makes a pop sound in between songs, is because when power saving mode is on, it is turning off the speaker in between songs. Just turn off "power saving" mode in your settings pull down on your Samsung, and it won't make a pop sound anymore.

I am encountering the same problem on my Verizon Galaxy S5. There is a popping noise (actually it is a double "pop pop" sound) when switching tracks (occurs in Samsung music player as well as Google Play Music). It's also noticeable when muting/unmuting the phone, and when the phone screen seems to go off. I have disabled power saving features as suggested, but the problem remains.
The problem is not noticeable on headphones (but could be due to the lower volume levels of headphones). It IS noticeable when I use the phone with an AUX cable in my car, and extremely bad on the PA loudspeaker system I use for work (I'm a dance teacher, and have generally used my phone as a music player). This is very annoying, and not what I would expect from Samsung's "flagship" phone.
I did a factory reset as suggested by Samsung tech support. Still have the problem.
I took the phone into Verizon's corporate store in SF, and the Verizon staff member recreated the problem with his own S5 too, suggesting this problem is inherent in all S5s.
What baffles me is the lack of a large number of complaints on message boards and the Samsung support forum. Doesn't anyone use their cell phone to play music at birthday parties, weddings, etc? I would have expected more outcry about this.
Any help appreciated!
Guys I am having the same issue with my S5. It is strange there is not enough complaints on it from people!
I have talked to Samsung about it and they don't believe such a huge bug!
Has any body solved this issue?
popping noise driving me mad on s5!
I have the same problem with a new s5 from 3 network. It's highly annoying and doesn't seem to matter which music player is used, power saver on or off and volume low or high on the phone or external speaker via an auxiliary cable. The same cable might I add I used for months for my S3. This just adds to annoying aspects to the s5 and I'm already looking for alternatives to Samsung even though my contract still has 23 months left! A fix for this is needed and will send the handset back for replacement if I have to!
They're was a setting inside one of the system files you could edit to help with the popping sound. I'll try to find the thread and post it up.
OK thanks. I have reluctantly factory reset and the noise is still there sometimes so others have found reset doesn't work. Will look at settings if you can find the thread.
I can't find it but I know it had to do with the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm just not sure what needed to be edited. I'll keep looking tho.
I'm having the same problem . Only when I skip to the next song and it is only out of the left channel.
Popping sound when skipping songs
Have you tried enabling the equaliser in settings under audio effects, as this has resolved the issue for me.
I have the problem as well. Its freaking ridiculous. I thought it was my music player for the longest time. I don't believe I had the issue when I first got the phone, but I really don't remember. I don't have power saving on and it doesn't happen all the time either. But it only happens at song changes or pause/unpause. I get the same double pop as nathandias described. Its bothering me a ton.
i was thinking it would be nice if people recorded the sound (standard audio cable from phone jack to line-in or mic of a computer)
it would be strange for it to be happening across such varied android versions (start of thread is when 4.4 was used, you can have 6 now with cyanogenmod, 5.1.1 from samsung, etc)
Hi,
I have the same problem, it's really annoying! I cannot understand why not much more people are complaining about this. It shouldn't be a problem in a Smartphone today! My Samsung S III didn't have this issue.
I made a video so you can see what we are talking about: Link deleted Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post a link here. You find it on Youtube entitled "Samsung S5 SM-G900F, popping sound between songs".
Did anyone find a solution? Thank you.
Hi. OP was a while ago! The solution was to use a logitech Bluetooth reciever connected to my 5.1 speaker system. Turns out it stops the annoying noise and for me with my s5 had better and louder sound quality. Well worth the purchase!

[Q] CM11 Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 No notifications sound

Dear All,
Hope you can help me with my bizarre issue with CM11.
I have no notification sounds (calls, sms, mms - none) playing when call or text arrives. The speaker works fine as the music plays. From there, it gets only weirder: I have no sound of "beep" when moving the volume slider, no sound of the screen lock or charger plug-in also.
What is interesting, when someone calls a very, very silent "beep, beep" is audible closely to the phone, similar to the one that usually informs about the second caller calling while you're already talking.
Vibrations also do not work.
I have tried other nightlies, it is the same (started on cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY, tried the one dated 2015.07.06 and 2015.06.07 to no effect).
Tried to apply some caller application, no effect.
Unplugged notifications from other sounds volume at sound settings, no effect.
Tried uninstalling lately installed apps.
Tried changing the ringtones.
I really had zero issues with CM11 and find it a fantastic way to prolong the life of my sgs3, however this issue is annoying af. Could you kindly please share some insight on that, as the internet search does not help.
Also, this is my first post, lurking a lot, registered due to not finding answer anywhere, if I chose the wrong category do not go harsh on me guys

I just got a M4 Aqua (E2306) as a replacement for a Moto G (2 gen)
And I notice that everytime that I receive a message (whatsapp, telegram etc) I hear a
static noise, also when I listening music and I turn volume down or up I hear the same noise
is quite annoying.
Does anyone else having the same issue?
Is there any way to fix this with some sort of patch?
My phone is not rooted and it has 5.0
T.i.A.
ps I'm sorry for my english, is not my mother language

It happens to me too, I think is a volume thing, like the sound goes 100% after the notification like 1 sec and then gets back normal, don't worry its a software bug, within the new firmware releases it may be fixed,
I also have problems when I receive notifications while listen to music, the sound is loud and screeching ... I hope an update to correct this.

No volume at all from calls

My Moto E (Tracfone) worked fine for many months. Now, I hear nothing during calls. When put into speakerphone mode, all is well. Also, plugging in earbuds works well. I do get normal volume from message alerts, ring tone, etc.
Perhaps another app has disabled audio for the "normal" (non speakerphone) case? How to identify the culprit?

I seem to be having a similar problem, though it came with a brand new phone. I simply cannot hear anything during some calls. I have to call back, sometimes even a couple of times, to make it work.
This is basically a more elaborate "Bump!"
Sometimes people can't hear me so I put it on speaker phone and turn down the volume.

Volume notifications and calls!!! How?

Friends, how to decrease the volume of notifications and not decrease the volume of phone calls?? If I try to decrease the sound of the notifications of any app The sound of the calls also decreases, it looks like they are hitched
What phone do you got? On my Mate 10 Lite I have 4 channels. Ringtone, Media, Alarm and Calls

That is not what he is asking. Media is for movies and songs. Alarm is self explanatory. Calls is the volume of the voice of the person on the other end of a phone call, whether you initiated the call or not. Ringtone, is the volume of whatever you choose to hear when a call comes in...but this is also the volume of the notification tones you choose to hear when a text, or an email arrives.
The linking of these two volumes has been a major pain for some years now. This is an Android thing. My ZTE Axon 7 has them unlinked but ZTE did it so I know it can be done. However, nearly all other OEM's do NOT do this but leave it at the default. There are 3rd party apps in the Play Store that claim to do this but NONE of the ones I tried actually work!
What I did is create a notification tone at half volume. That way I can leave the ringtone volume at a higher level and the notification still comes through not as loud! Major pain, but it works.

But why would you want to have the notifications and call volume split? Just curious.

The issue is that in general, if you use built in ringtones, they are generally pleasant little songs that play when someone is trying to call you. Today, though, most people do not talk on their "phones" but rather send and receive texts and emails. However, the built in tones for notifications are usually very short and more harsh in their tone in order to get your attention, not to mention they are played much more often than a true ringtone. Therefore, many people want the volume of their notifications to be lower, less obtrusive, than their ringtone. But the wisdom of the people at Google decided that we want them both to be the same volume all the time, which is simply not true. Thus, my solution.

Perfect, that's exactly what I meant, on the Samsung S7 / S8 we can separate the volume. I find that very inconvenient.
+1 missing split volume ring/notification
Any solution?
