Hi,
I recently bought a Honor 5X, great smartphone, low price, fast & all, really happy with it.
I'm stuck with a very simple problem, while WhatsApp works as intended, it is not possible to change the default notification sound. No matter what, WhatsApp will play a default mp3 placed on the media directory (Jive_Cool.mp3, not even the 1st file, go figure...) which is like 3 minutes long and loud as f***!
I tried deinstalling the app and reinstalling it, chose various notification sounds in case the one I like was corrupted, no way I can change it.
Anybody facing the same issue? any hints?
Thanks
I temporarily "fixed" this by putting a short "notification" mp3 in storage/media/audio/notifications and choosing it on WhatsApp. Others sounds (the ones the rom has by default) that I can choose in the notification combo would not be played on notification.
Hi, I do have the exact same problem with my brand new Honor 8. Anyone who know what to do?

It was solved by restarting the phone... This is for sure something that is different to other vendors.

Hi!
My phone doesn't ring anymore, it won't even vibrate!
It all started when I set PocketMusic as the default player for WMA files. This made the phone stop ringing, and when I checked in settings the ringtone was set to WindowsDefault instead of my usual OldPhone. I tried resetting the ringtone to OldPhone, but when I clicked ok it was automatically reset to WindowsDefault again. This happened for all of the WMA ringtones. They also did not play when you tested them in settings. I removed the association from PocketMusic, which made the ringtones play from the settings screen. But they still don't work when there´s an incoming call. The thing is just quiet.
If anyone has any kind of idea, please help me. The phone is on 4.00.11, I've tried soft resetting but that didn't help. There's probably a registry setting that's messed up, but which one?
Thanx!

Possibly Similar
This sounds slightly similar to a problem I had with Pocket PC 2002 - look for a post named "Cursed by BellDitty". It was a registry key that wasn't written correctly.
Well did ya think to just hard reboot the phone? That will put everything back to original specs.
Just back up any data you need and turn the thing off and back on.

Yeah, I read that thread and fooled around a bit with the reg keys in ringtone0. Didn't help though. The strange thing is that ringpreview is working just fine, but ring is not. Could you post a copy of the keys and values in ring, ringpreview and ringtone0 so I can see what a healthy device should look like?
Thanx!

I'd prefer to find out what's causing the problem and fix it. If I haven't solved it before the weekend I'll probably do a hard reboot. Don't like all of my installed progs dissappearing though, so I'll probably end up cooking myself a new rom as well to fit my most used applications into rom.
Cheers

RegDump
Here is a reg. dump of my XDA when it ran 2002, I checked the registry of 2003 and it looks the same:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]
"Sound"="DefaultRing .wav"
"Script"="apw3r"
"SavedSound"="DefaultRing .wav"
"Category"="Ring"
Hope that helps.
Thanks everyone for your support.
I finally decided to go for the hard-reset, nothing else seemed to help.

i had this same porblem after installing pocketmusic 1.3 bundeld.
It played the mp3 when clicked on them.
O2 plus played them tru pocketmusic, still it didn't work.
When tested at settigns/phone/ play it didn't work.
I removed the assoisition in pocket music(for mp3.wmv) now it works.

Yes, Betaplayer did the same, as well as an older version of Conduits' Music player.
You must just make sure that these files do not have the default association for wma or wav, they do not play nicely with the Phone Edition somehow.
(But Betaplayer is still the bestest video player for the Pocket PC!!)
THANKYOU THANKYOU!
Have been tearing my hair out over this one and dredding a hard reset.
I'm still very new to android but I wanted to know if anyone is experiencing this same problem. whenever i swipe left/right at home to back/forth between diff. desktops, the contacts and call button do not go away. It's particularly annoying... Has anyone else had to experience this? is it a general android problem? Is there a fix for it?
I have attached a screenshot. Look at the bottom how they are overlapping.
Are you sure they're not part of your wall paper?

looks to me as tho you've installed launcher pro, and havent set it as the default home launcher, what u can do is download an app such as Home Switcher, and choose launcher pro as the default launcher for the phone, this should get rid of the default Blue launcher which is what you are seeing in the background
i installed launcher pro before and then restored the phone to factory settings because it happened a few days ago... so after that, i decided to stay away from launcher pro because i figured it might have had some bugs since the Atrix is brand new, blah blah blah.. Well, without touching launcher pro, it just happened again earlier today... I didn't install anything either. I might have unplugged the phone or something but other than that i have not installed any new apps today... I cannot remove it through the apps and it's not a part of the background... What can I do to fix this? There has to be some easier way than reseting to factory everytime? anyone else have any ideas? am i the only one experiencing this so far?
I still get the same problem... I find that when I go into the running application 'Home' and click clear data, the problem is solved. My icons and all my desktops are also cleared... Is there some sort of config file I could edit instead of losing my icons everytime this bug occurs? I also don't have launcher pro or any other launcher app installed atm.
i'd do another factory restore if not take it back to ATT if u bought it from them.
were you rooted before, and did you install the custom rom?
Both times it happened, I was rooted. I never installed the custom rom. I'm still trying to look into what's going on and see if I can find a config file that I can edit to change it.
Same problem with my new ATRIX
Hey everyone, I just bought the Atrix last week and had problems with it freezing right out of the box. The next day I noticed that the direction arrows that pop up when switching screens would pop up and overlap my call and contact buttons instead of them dissapearing just like he said. So I went and got it replaced yesterday and all last night and all today my phone was working flawlessly and I was very impressed and thought I must of had a dud until just now my phone froze while playing a game. GRRR not this again So I was forced to take out the battery to restart it and then I scrolled over to the next screen and the stupid arrows were overlapping the call and contact button again I think this must be a common problem. Two phones in a row this has happened. This is kind of pissing me off. Surely more than just the two of us must have this problem? And no I haven't done any of the things you guys said could have caused the problem. The first time it happened I hadn't downloaded anything other than facebook or ebuddy.
I was super excited for the atrix but now am wondering if I should have got something else.
So it turns out that it may have been a program called mixzing music player thatwas causing the problem. After having some problems with the app I removed it and reset my phone and the problem has resolved itself. If anyone with the same problem has mixzing on their phone I strongly recommend using something like winamp instead. My phone works great now and Bell finally released an update today aswell
Hello,
I have a problem with my phone. I cant set any ringtone to it. Whether its MP3, or from system ringtones, it always plays "its" own ringtone.
I got phone only yesterday and upgraded it from 2.3 to 4.0 (official upgrade) Everything wen fine.
I dont know what do with it, i looked through apps, if something doesnt have to do with it, but i think not.
Do you see any solution? Is there app that sets ringtones?
Thank you very much for help
RE:
there are a lot of ways by which your problem can be resolved,
but unfortunately, almost all of them involve rooting (which voids warranty).
I'd recommend talking to the customer care (as you only purchased the phone yesterday)
or try to find if your phone allows you to revert back to your original android version.
[also try this: go to the music player, hold on a song till the options appear, then select "set as ringtone". that might work]
Cheers
[Thumbs up if it works for you]
Hello and thank you for your reply!
Yesterday i was too eager to wait patiently for responses of people here on forum, so i tried to resolve the problem.
I tried as you said set ringtone through music player - it worked for few minutes, but after that it changed back to default ringtone.
But after 4 factory data resets i got to know where the problem was :laugh:
Everything was OK until i loaded backup from huawei app -> then the ringtone started making problems.
So after 4th reset i didnt load backup and everything is working fine. Might help other people with this sort of problem.
Anyway, i dont know why it was happening, because after i noticed its happening after i load backup, i didnt load system settings -> just contacts and SMS' and still there was problem. Weird, but fortunately everything is fine now.

Do try upgrading to JB roms here
Hello everyone, I have a few issues on my device and would like your opinions on them:
1 - Whenever i get a persistent notification like "Music player (with buttons to play etc.)" or "You're in a call with John <timer>" these kind of notifications, if i press the home button while in the respective app for the notification, the notification sound goes on as if i received a notification. like the notification is already there, but when i click the home button the notification sound "rings" idk why... if you guys go to the music player (any one, i tried like 5 already) and play any song and click the home button to go out of the player, do you get the notification sound? (also happens in calls, messages,whatsapp,etc)
2 - Games on my device use abnormal amounts of data, like Rules Of Survival, it used to consume 5 mb per match or so, now after i updated to B133, it used 13 GB for 2 matches, thats 7.5GB per match (it used only 5 mb before), my friend has the Galaxy s8+ and there it works fine but not on my huawei?
so now i kinda avoid playing any music on my phone, since any press on the home button will make the notification sound go on couple of times on max volume. I also avoid playing games, since the data consumed is very abnormal. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game but it still behaves in the same way, regardless of whether im using data or wifi too. could it be software related?
System info:
Huawei mate 10 pro, C185, 8.00.133 is the firmware i have installed, it didn't ship with it, i updated to it a few days ago.
My questions are:
Do you guys face these issues? or is it just me?
Is it okay if i flash another C*** firmware onto my device? or will that cause problems?
Do you think its a software issue and flashing would fix it?
any advice?

Don't have these issues ... But I don't use a notification sound.
you must have high speed wifi if u download 7.5gig in one match. Thats so weird... I don't know what it downloads. Maybe you can share some screenshots.
Rebranding your device is actually kinda risky if you don't know what your doing. I don't think this should be a reason to do so anyways
The only thing I experience sometimes is that WhatsApp message banners sometimes appear twice for the same message when I didn't read it yet. But no vibration, no sound and nothing connected to the home button

thanks for the reply alfred! can i ask what firmware are you on exactly?
another question please, would downgrading to a previous firmware version (same region) cause any issues?
thanks!
Bla L29 c432 138 (basically same as 137)
I am not sure if u didn't have this issue before updating I guess yes.
Anyways before doing something crazy contact Huawei... Their customer service is usually decent. They should fix it u paid them enough money... If you mess around with firmware you only end up voiding warranty
Please help.. How to do auto settings for page trandlation
Hello,
Please help and advise me on settings such that a page opened in any language is automatically translated to English language which is the default language set On my Huawei Mate 10 Pro. I am unable to resolve this and any help will be hugely appreciated. Thank you.
I got the same trouble with volume set.
The notification tone (sound) for Facebook is very low volume after the Pie update on S9+. All the rest of the sounds for other apps are fine. I have tried changing the tone, uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook, and clearing the cache and clearing the data for the Facebook app, then rebooting, and also wiping the cache for the phone. Anyone have any ides?
I don't have that problem, but another with ringtones. Every time I receive a call, it turns down my ringtone to minimum volume without going to silent. Weirdest bug I've ever seen. Hope we can find fixes.
I have the same porblem also :crying:
Same happen to me... note 9

This is a FB bug.
FB doesn't use the notification volume, but the ringtone volume. My opinion this is not the way the should do it.
I'am also on PIE, but same happens to a friend of mine on her Android 8.0
I have the same issue, Facebook notifications volume is very low
BUT my main issue is Facebook Messenger calls ringtone, it is very low and I barley hear it
I thought it's an issue in my phone and was about to reset it today
did you manage to solve this problem? i'm having the exact same issue, the sound notifications for facebook are barely audible
Same here... S9 and S10.
I had the same problem with my S9 Plus after PIE. Very low and it has this "underwater" type of reverb (that's the best way I can describe it). I don't use the default sound, I use one I've carried forward since (I think) the S7 called dew drops which is very non-invasive.
Last week I got the S10 5G on the day it became available and it didn't have the problem when I first set it up. It came with PIE. But it wanted to do some security update which I ignored for most of the day while I was still "playing" with my new S10 5G and then I did the update. After that the sound is exactly like my S9 Plus. I can change the notification to other sounds and they are all softer than they should be and all have that "underwater" quality to them.
Same problem here on my Note 9 ever since the Pie update. Guarantee Facebook won't fix it as they are more interested in less important things like adding more bloat to their horrendous app.
They can't get the simple things right.
