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?

ok my first Atrix I could do it. I can not find where to do it. It is only showing my the regular tones. What am I missing? Where can I put a custom ringtone for text message. I am using the standard text with the phone.
Thanks

Here's how I do it:
Install GO SMS
Set the default notification sound in Settings (Android NOT GO SMS) which will be your email notification sound now.
Turn off notifications in the stock Text Message app
In GO SMS set the notification sound to whatever you like.
This way you have one sound for email and another for text messages.
Hi, I want to add different sounds on different app notifications, for example: when receiving notification from home security app that someone opened door or something (if security app doesn't have option to ring instead of short default notification) use music or ring the device instead of default notification sound, I hope you get what I mean
Edit: found MegaSound, idk how to close thread
thanks for the heads up
will try that app
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.
Hi!
I'm searching an app to convert a simple push notification into a full screen notification (like an alarm), but I can't find any app that do that.
For instance, my home camera notify me when it detects motion, but the notification is normal, like when you receive a WhatsApp message, I have so many notifications...
I want to be able to select what notifications (really important ones) should be converted into alarm type notifications
Don you know any app that could do something like that?
Thank you very much!
I'm on Android 8.0, MIUI 10.2
Hi again,
Any idea?
Could it be accomplished with Tasker?
Something like... when this notification is received set an alarm 5 seconds after actual time
Or... when this notification is received launch this app (a custom app only displaying a message and playing an alert sound)
I'm using a Sony XZ Premium with the latest Android 9 software.
Facebook Messenger has really been a pain. Whenever I modify it's notification categories after a couple of hours it deletes the notification category I modified and re-creates it. At the bottom of the screen there's a counter - 245 categories deleted.
Messenger -> App Info -> Notifications
My question is how to prevent it from deleting it. I want to disable Messenger's chat notifications' sound and leave only the green led & chat previews pop-ups. There is no "None" sound in Messenger options and you either disable notifications totally or not and when I choose None in Android Notifications it deletes the chat category and re-creates it with sound picked.
