Hi,
Somebody know how to separate/unlink volume for the calls and notifications? I tried to install and to set VolumeButler app, no success here
Please help
Thanks
I know it can be done because my backup phone...ZTE Axon 7 has it built in. However, unless the OEM implements it I have never had any success in using third party apps to get it to work properly. Even though some apps make it "look" like it unlinked them...they still operate in lock step with each other. This is a Google Android thing. Since Google likes to make so many changes all the time I wish they would change this requested behavior since I know it can be done!
Since I use only one notification tone for all text messages what I did was create the one I want at half volume. That way when I have full volume for the ringtone the notification volume doesn't scream at me. I just use a built in tone for Gmail and Outlook. Of course if you need a different tone for each contact...well...it can be done by the same method but it is a lot of work creating all those tones. This of course is all based on using your own personal tones and not what comes with the phone by default.

I have the HTC Wallaby or TMOBILE phone edition. I upgraded the rom to XDA Developers rom and wow...what a difference.
Has anybody had any problems with the ring tones? I understand how the thing works pretty much but for some reason I can't get the ring tones to change for different callers. I tried by catagory and by right clicking on the name from within the phone number organiser and selecting the change ringtone function but it defaults tothe ringtone selected in the sounds control panel for all callers. Is there a patch or did I miss something. Anybody else run into this problem

Hi,
Lately i discovered the Xposed mod and am very happy with the availability off mods for it.
I would like to ask if some off you mod creators could have a look at my problems with sms app and maybe create a mod for one of these ?
I've been with Android for some months now and really enjoy using it but when it comes to sending an sms, Android seems to think sms is just another app like facebook or skype but it's the only thing (besides calling) that works on every phone & on every platform and with every provider.
-> I would be very happy if someone could make a mod to get delivery reports inside call/sms logs so i can check when an sms was delivered.
Best example is Newyear, you send an sms to everyone in your phone but on android you'll never know if it got delivered because there is no delivery reports log (i think). And as soon as you touch that notification it's gone forever and you didn't even see when/if/who it got delivered.
-> I found an xposed mod wich puts the sms ringtone on the same volume slider as the calling ringtone, wich is a great change, finally no more other apps that need high volume because sms needs to sound loud BUT i love to have a separate volume slider for sms (dunno if this is possible in a mod?)
-> when my device is in use and i get an sms, nothing shows up on my screen, only in notifications. my notifications bar is set to auto hide so if sound is off i don't even notice i got an sms. So maybe a mod that show the popup from lockscreen also when the device is not locked ? (i know there are probably some apps for this, but i prefer something working directly from the firmware instead off installing tons off extra apps).
-> if i use a long sms tune, it keeps playing till i unlock the phone and open the sms, it would be nice if it stopped as soon as i touch the sms widget on the lockscreen, or even better stop when i touch/unlock the phone.
Dunno if any off this is possible ? if so many thanks in advance for trying !
Hi
Just bought this tablet and set it up today, after coming from the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. I am a long-term Android user and am happily using Oreo on my Galaxy S9. Unfortunately, either I am missing something or am totally thick, but I can't find anywhere how to change the notification sounds for various apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Gmail etc on this Mediapad. I have the 8.4in running Android 8 & had no trouble doing this on my Galaxy S9. I go into notifications, it only gives me the option to turn the ringtone on or off, doesn't give me any list of tones. I have made sure all the apps have storage permission and virtually all permissions except for location.
Please someone make me feel less thick!!! :silly::silly::silly:
It's weird because it is there for me. From top to bottom:
Silent - vibrate while silent - DND - tablet ringtone - vibrate while ringing - notification
And in the last one I can set a notification sound or music
Def not for me. I was wondering whether to try a factory reset
I have now done a factory reset. Same problem. Facebook is fine, however so far, Gmail and Twitter are 2 that do not have the option to change the notification sound. I can switch them on or off, but can't change the tone. If I was able to post a screenshot of what I can see, then people would know what I mean
I'm right there with you. Got my new tablet on Friday, and I can't figure out how to have different notification sounds for multiple email accounts set up in the Gmail app. I've done this before on other devices, but it seems to not be set up to work on this tablet. Anyone have any thoughts?

The thing is I have actually looked under each app, which I had to do on my S9. Apps like Twitter you have to actually go into the settings, then apps, then Twitter, Gmail etc then find the notification within that and you can change it. But I have done that on this tablet and there is no option to change the tone. Facebook and messenger I have been able to change within their app. Any others, I cannot do within the apps or within the system settings. It's really strange. Shame we can't do screenshots on here.

Thanks thref23, I will look into that when I'm more awake
Does anyone else have a problem with their xperia using the default system notification sound for ALL notifications instead of what is set for each app? For instance, snapchat notifications always use the system default instead of the sounds that snapchat specifically is supposed to install and use. It's really annoying as I've gotten inconsistent results trying to set custom notifications for specific apps to use and some refuse to use the custom settings. Is it something I'm doing wrong?
I have the XQ-BC72 version of the phone.
I apologize if this has been asked before, my search didn't pull up anything in this realm of use case.
Thanks.
Can't speak for Snapchat as I do not use it. However, I have different sounds set for different things and they all work as expected. Do you have a separate "notifications" and "ringtones" folder? If not then you need to create each one in the root of the device and place all the 3rd party sounds you want to use in the proper folder. Now in settings you can choose a default notification sound which will be used by default by all your communications apps UNLESS you go into each apps settings to choose a specific one. If for some reason you continue to have issues try to choose "none" for the default notification sound. This way you will have to choose a sound for each app or else you will not hear anything.
The question about volume separation between ringtone and notifications for Android devices has been around for a while with many answers but none of them work all the time, but there's a tricky workaround to achieve that without root privileges. All you need is well-known apps such as Volume Butler + App Volume Control it's important to install both of them. Next steps are simple install Volume Butler, launch it and allow all requested permissions and create a profile, in the app Settings place a tick in Ring volume box under Volumes. Most of the articles recommend installing single app which is Volume Butler or App Volume Control, etc... but it's better to have them both, now after you installed Volume Butler go on and install App Volume Control from Google Play Store, launch it and allow all requested permissions as well.
Hence comes the trick, usually after installing only Volume Butler once you receive a call it increases the Ring volume to your profile Settings but after the call ends then Notifications volume gets merged to Ring volume again and Notifications sound is loud again, so you need to re-configure Volume Butler profile which is annoying after each call, that's why you need App Volume Control which allows you to create rules for every app separately and you can use that app as a trigger, let's say you use Telegram a lot, launch App Volume Control locate Telegram click on it and click on Notification line and set volume percentage, in the next tab "when closing" choose --> do not change and click Save. Now when you receive a call it activates Volume Butler automatically with your volume Settings and after you end a call when you receive a message in Telegram it triggers volume setting from App Volume Control so the sound appears more quiet due to your preferred settings. And You can set such trigger rules to any apps on your phone and as many as you want.
P.S.
I have tested this on Pixel 6 and it works just fine and should work on other devices as well. I also recommend allowing these apps to be run unrestricted, you can do that in the phone's Settings, they won't use much battery and it may prevent apps to be killed in the background so they could continue doing their tasks and be stable.
UPDATE
I have managed to separate ringtone & notifications sound with only App Volume Control, no need in extra apps to relaunch the profile or something like that, it works flawlessly, all you need is to open App Volume Control and navigate to System apps, locate Phone, phone calls, and phone services and messages, set the desired sound you want for each, in case with Phone set the same volume for ringtone and notification when starting and when closing leave the option Restore Old Volume. Now when you receive a call it will play loud and once you hang up the next message you receive let's say on Telegram it will trigger volume notification settings for Telegram. That's it.
You can also use this app. It used to increase the notification volume sometimes after a phone call, but lately it hasn't been doing that for me. But if it does you can just re-activate your profile with 2 taps. Quite easy. Recently, however, they did make it subscription based but you can do a $0.99/Year one so it's not bad.
