Dark wallpaper overlay & notification volume - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Hello everyone !
I recently acquired a honor 5X and updated it to Marshmallow today. Everything was and is great, as expected. However, I have two little complains:
The first one, that already existed in Lollipop, is the notification volume issue. When I select a notification tone, the volume is normal, but when i actually receive a real notification, the volume is way to hard (it is like le notification volume is always several steps further than the ringtone one). I already tried one or two 3rd party apps in order to manually lower this volume but it didn't work and it is quite annoying.
The second one appeared with the Marshmallow update and is quite simple: whenever i set a wallpaper, it is dimmed like it would be on some lockscreen. At first I thought it was Nova Launcher, but even on Huawei Home, same issue.
I am looking forward to a solution. Anyway, this phone is amazing, especially when you realise how cheap it is.
Thanks !

[Q] Volume issues with notifications

Is anyone else having issues with the volume level on their notifications. I have checked all the settings under notifications and the volume is max, plus changed to different tones. But most of the time I hear no sound when a text comes in. I have not installed that many apps or rooted the phone yet. Am I missing something. It seems to come back after restart but doesnt last long. It worked great for the first week.

Ringtone + Notification Volume

Is there a way to turn down the ringtone AND notification volume at the same time? I despise the fact that I have to turn down both volumes separately in the settings when I get to the office....I'm beyond frustrated at such a simple thing.
Every other phone I've ever had, you simply use the volume rocker to lower the ringtone and the notification volume at the same time.
Nobody else finds this frustrating...or has a workaround?
May I suggest using Tasker which would not only take care of both volumes but also do it automatically for you once you get to work (based on GPS location or WiFi network)?

Sorry, I just leave all of my phones on vibrate only 24-7.

I'm the exact opposite. In fact, the main reason I returned the G4 is because it linked the notifications with ringtone volume.

Why not use the smart settings or tasked to do this automatically?
Its funny that the opposite of this (the volumes linked) was one of the big UI complaints with the G4.
Proof that you're damned if you do damned if you don't. Someone's always not going to be happy no matter what.

it's not JUST work where I'd like to be able to quickly turn down notifications and ringtones....... in what instance does someone want notifications volume up and ringtone down...or vice versa? if you lower one, you'll want to lower the other. seems really silly not to link them.

why would you ever want them unlinked? when would you have the ringtone or notifications louder than the other?

again, it's not OLNLY work where I'd like to have quick control of turning both down
I understand your desire, but you also question why would you want them unlinked.
Me personally, I have a ringtone that is much more aggressive than my notification tone. I usually have them set at their own levels, and when I do want to turn them down, I am usually going for silent so I just use the mute to vibrate toggle. I would never want them linked, and would rather a vendor error on the side of giving me options rather than lumping it all in one basket.
I just did a quick search for an app to do what you ask. I haven't tried it, but you could give it a go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.marextafl.mx.simplevolume&hl=en
Good luck on your hunt.
Since you asked...
I have particularly loud notification sound. Normally it's a good thing since I don't receive that many notifications. However, there are times when I'm out and about and doing some heavier than normal texting or someone includes me in a group text including my mother, 2 sisters and niece.
That's way too much and I immediately turn down my notification volume in that situation.
I wouldn't want to turn everything down and risk missing a call. Just notifications so that everyone around me doesn't stop and give me the stink eye because my phone is going off like crazy. (with the 1up mushroom sound from Super Mario Bros.)
I definitely prefer them to be controlled separately. Having a "main control" that brings down all volumes at the same time is also handy to have but if I had to pick one or the other I'd choose the individual controls.

Ya I like them unlinked too. I get lots and lots of notifications and sometimes I just want them on vibrate while I still want to hear when I get a call. I do this at work all the time.
fair enough.... to each their own I guess
Wait. On the second screen when the main screen is off you can slide from right to left and there's a speaker icon. Tap it to set the phone to vibrate, silent or on. Also, you can set the volume slider in the pull down notification panel. When this is there you can tap the equalizer icon all the way to the right and adjust the ringtone and notification volumes separately.

this isn't just about turning it from speaker on, to vibrate...... this is about lowering both volumes together at the same time
Well. Sometimes I like my call volume higher than my notifications. This is also not a V10 issue. I believe that this is the way Android itself handles the volume controls. The only device I know of that has one volume for all sounds is Apple's iPhone.

Some older android phones had them stuck together... it may of been an OS thing or a manufacture thing. I do know at one point they had a checkbox to unlink them, and man was that a good day.

Vibration with notification tone!!!

Hi everyone, I'm new here but I follow forum since long ago. I do not know if it is the right place to post it (sorry, newbie)...
I'm from Brazil and will try to explain my issue... it is driving me insane!!!
I had a SGS3 with Android 4.3JB and everything used to work like a charm, the way I would it to be!
Then I decided to retire my old S3 and I bought a Moto X 2nd generation (XT1097) with LP 5.1 (now it is MM 6.0).
The hardware/software are GREAT but my problems with sounds and notifications started!
Whatsapp vibration is OFF and NOTIFICATION SOUND is ON, so if phone has sound enabled, he does not vibrate and play a bip sound (like I want).
But when I put the phone into vibrate mode, even with the VIBRATION set to OFF it vibrates!
For this not vibrate, I have to set "notification tone" to none under the settings > sound and notifications, but with that, I loose the bip sound when phone is not in vibration mode!
I little bit confuse, but searching in Google I found this: "When your device's ring volume is turned all the way down to vibrate mode, notifications that are set to play a sound will vibrate instead."
My question is: Is there a way to prevent the system to trigger this kind of vibration? I do not want the OS to "convert" sound into vibration.... any app, Xposed Module or anything else???
Sorry about my english... Thanks guys!
Same as you
can any one answer .....?I have same problem ...
nothing?
No one can help us?

Notification volume does not return to its last state

Hello buddies,
I dragged this issue with me since my S7 Edge I had before my new brand S9+. On the S7 Edge the issue would happen 2 or 3 times in a week. But now with my S9+ it's every single day.
Issue: During my workday, I use the silent mode to avoid any noise at work. When I'm back to home, I put back the "normal" sound mode, but here is the issue, the notification volume doesn't go back as it was sin the morning (generally 100%), it stays at 0%. So everytime I quit vibrator or silence mode I have to manually raise the notification volume or I won't get any sound for these.
It's quite annoying and I don't see any subject about that, I checked all settings in my phone but I see nothign related to this.
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks!
Do you get quiet notification sounds? As all my sounds are quiet. If I play a notification sound on zedge ect... it's loud but as soon as I choose it as my notification the volume is very low. I've reset the phone but it's still the same.
Could it be an app you are using?
Well, it could be "quiet" notification since the volume is at 0%, it's not like the sound picture of notification got a line across. Anyway, quiet or muted, I don't hear them and that's the problem.
For the application idea, I really don't know what sort of application could do that? I would like to keep the wipe data/factory reset as a last resort.
Something seems to be resetting my volumes to different levels. I changed System to 0 and set Ringtone and Notification to match, however when I went into volume again this morning, System was at half and it seems like Notification reset itself. Is there some built in Tasker like function on this phone that might be changing things based on some outside variable? If not, this is a really annoying bug.

Resurrection Remix - Any chance to change keyboard size, system volume and ...

Hi there,
I am currently using RRemix 5.7.4 on my Redmi Note 2 Prime and I am quite satisfied. Only 2 things I'd like to change:
One is the size the keyboard takes when shown on screen - this is quite big and I'd like to get it smaller.
The other thing is the volume of notifications and system sounds. For notification I'd like to have a seamless way to adjust the volume since the first possible position I can set the volume bar on is already quite loud for my current notification tone. Regarding the system sounds (i.e. connecting/disconnecting charger) - those cannot be adjusted by their volume at all. How can I change this?
Thank you in advance for a short reply!
Bye
