Hi, I just received OTA update to B371 firmware but the new Android 6 and EMUI 4.0 changed few things:
It is no more possible to "zoom" email notifications in the notification area to see the list of last emails and email previews. Is there any way to reenable it again?
The volume of the "click" sound is controlled by the ringtone volume. Is there possibility to lower the volume?
How to enable a "click" sound for the dialpad? I found only the dialpad tones.
I found a way to remove the white background on google apps icons via modifying the theme icons, however the play store icon has still the white background. Is there a possibility to configure a theme to not to modify the google icons?
Thanks for any help.

I love 2.1 compared to 1.6 but two quirks I have that are bothering me are:
1. The headphones sound really distorted. When I watch videos I can hear the background noise but noone talking and lots of distortion. I tried the stock headphones along with 2 other pair that do not have mic's.
2. When I get a sms I get 2 notification sounds and 2 messages in my status bar. So I went into the options of the standard messaging program and turned notifications off. This would be fine but the notification will stay there until I clear it because its not the notification for the standard message app. I searched high and low and cannot find out what is sending this 2nd message.
Note: I don't have any third party messaging apps on the phone. The two icons that pop up is a new smaller icon for the message app in 2.1 which disappears when I turn notifications off. The icon that will not disappear and which I can't disable is the old icon from 1.6's standard message app.
Does anyone have any similar problems or have any suggestions? Thanks!
Somewhere along the line, while side-loading apk's and just generally having a good time, my default notification sound changed to an old cellphone sounding ring.
I searched the Nook Color forum and found reports of a similar problem but no solution. Someone did include a zip of the audio file in question though, which is what I'm hearing now, too.

Has anyone else run into this and is there an easy fix?
Thanks in advance!
When i installed google voice i think it changed, but I changed it my self shortly after.
In google voice hit the menu button, then it 'More'. A seemingly Blank menu appears.
In reality this menu actually just has White text on a white background. If you press what would be the top option in that menu, it brings you to the apps settings. Where you can change the notification sounds.

Thanks for the reply!
Isn't that an app specific setting for Google Voice? I have a similar setting for Enhanced Email and while it successfully changes the notifications for that app the other system notifications are still "Default Ringtone" which sounds like an old cellphone.
I might be misunderstanding how it works, though.
So it seems to be the stock email client where the notification issue is most noticeable. If I use a different client I can configure the notification sound but the default client *always* uses this default ringtone thing.
Do I need to wait until this is rooted and then just rename some system audio files?
I have a Moto Z2 Play with Nougat 7.1.1
I jumped directly from Kitkat (Cyanogen OS which my old phone had and which I never updated as it was very buggy update to Lollipop and I wanted for MM which never came) to Nougat when I bought the Z2 Play. It's mostly a positive change except for the notification settings. I know it's been discussed at length how Google messed up the notification settings on Lollipop and the trend has continued in Nougat too.
So now to my issue with it. I have currently set ringtones at full volume and Notifications on silent by selecting default notification ringtone as "None" as I don't want to hear a chime on every notification that comes through as most of my notifications are News feeds. Whenever l recieve a notification my phone vibrates so I assume there's no setting to customize Silent/Vibrate by default for all notifications and also individual app unless the app itself has implemented it in its settings like Textra and merely selecting no notification ringtone sets it to vibrate unless I go to individual app settings and set on the toggle "Show Silently". It is quite convoluted really.
Now what I want to achieve with the way my phone acts on notifications is something like this:
I want the to set a default notification ringtone and I want to set some notifications to vibrate and some to silent which I simply cannot do unless the app provides its own settings of silent/vibrate.
I want the Reminders and Events set in the Google and Calendar app to have a notification ringtone even when in default settings I have set notification ringtone to "None" but they rely on default notification settings. Some apps like Textra provide their own so is it really hard for Google's own app to do the same. This way I can set a different ringtone too than the default one. So I would like to know of a way to do so.
And honestly why aren't Reminders relying on Alarm sound i.e. if alarms are allowed to make a sound Reminders should too. It is really frustrating. I missed a reminder like this today because I wasn't aware of the convoluted way Nougat handles all this.
Kitkat had the best implementation. It had a separate slider for notification sounds too.(Cyanogen OS had one).
What I think is a better implementation is allowing to set a default ringtone in Sounds settings and then in individual app's notification settings separating the vibrate part from the "Show Silently" option. This would allow me to achieve my goal of having a ringtone for some apps, vibrate for some and silent for some. And it would solve my problem of having a sound when I have set a reminder in the Google app and have set default notification ringtone to "None".
The best implementation of course would be to set a default silent, vibrate or ringtone for notifications and then have granular control for each app i.e have a list of all apps and allowing to choose from Silent, Vibrate or ringtone for each app which would override the default.
Also why not allow to change the default sound that the volume rockers control. In Google's own YouTube app volume rockers change the notification volume and not the media volume which is again very frustrating.
Sorry for the long post and rant. I really wish Google fixes this but I doubt it.

I bought a Xiaomi mi 8 and I got the MIUI Global Stable 10.2.1.0 update. Now I realized that all the notifications are getting bad default configuration by default (for all application).
All the notifications emitted by all applications are always getting the same settings :
no sound
no lockscreen permission
no floating notification
no notification led
It sound stupid to me because we are forced to miss the first notification of each category of every app before being able to change the settings manually.
Even worst, some applications creates new notification category for every new notification. As it is not possible to configure notification for a category that is not yet created, there is no way to enable them.
Is there a way to change those notification settings to have sound, vibration and lockscreen permission by default for all notifications of all applications ?

yeah lots of things regarding notifications are ****ed up since the android pie update.
For example you CANNOT change the notification sound for emails/gmal anymore.

That's the second most annoying thing about the "new" notification system of MIUI 10.
But the default notification settings are even worst. You won't be notified at all if an app create a notification of a new category when your phone is locked.
Anyway, still looking for a solution...
Hi.
Im trying to set notification tone for Whatsapp messages, but when prompted to complete the action, I have no valid app to view system sounds (audio files gives me a blank list).
I have to mention that the notification tones are accessible for Clock app, and for Default alerts sound).
I'm with the official Miui 10.0.4 Global version.
Is this normal? should I install a 3rd party app to access system notification tones?
