different volume for calls and app messages - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Is it possible to diversify the call volume compared to the volume of the notifications of the various apps (ex: whatsapp, telegram, etc.) and messages?
In my Galaxy S5 I had the option of having high volume for call ringing and low volume for notifications. With the Mate 20 pro, instead, there is a single volume for calls and notifications
Thanks.

Emui doesn't support independent notification volume. It's either on or off. So if you're on a call you get a notification it will blow out your eardrum. Not unless you globally put the device into silent mode. Then in which case you won't get any notifications.[emoji1787]

Thank you very much.
excuse my ignorance regarding EMUI, but is there not an app that allows you to split calls from notifications? Or it is Emui who just does not allow it of his own.
Thanks

[Q] No0b question, volumes

I'm not sure if I'm acting handicapped here of if its the way Android was written, but my alerts for Text messages and Alarms are notoriously quiet.
I've ticked the box that says "Use incoming call volume for notifications" and then I set the incoming call volume to max. Then I unticked the volume and set each separate volume to max.
Either way, the notification volume is sooo silent that I literally have to look for the green flashing light on my phone to see if I even got a text.
And I almost missed the alarm this morning if I hadn't left vibrate on.

The x10 volume is really low sound. Its one of the only phones I have had that has such low volume. My sisters messaging phone lowest volume is louder than the x10 loudest. So you aren't the only one with the low volume complaint.

But, why is it specifically the notification volume? The incoming call volume is just fine.

I myself had to create my own ringtone with an app called ringdroid from the market from mp3 songs. The sound quality is better and louder.

[Q] Sync Ringer and Notification Volume?

Is there a way to make the ringer and notification volumes to be linked together so they both change to when I use my volume buttons? The buttons only change the ringer volume and I want it to change both ringer and notification volumes together.
I tried Quick Settings from the Play store which I have used on other phones to "link" the volumes. But it doesn't do that on my SGS3. I have tried a couple other apps that say they do that, but again they don't link the volumes together on my SGS3. Anybody know how to do this?
Having trouble with AudioGuru (paid). It doesn't seem to effect the volume either. Alert function not adjusting the alert.
More details.
With the Alert Notification sound set in GoSMS, the phone Alert Notification sound is different. AudioGuru only shows the Phone Alert Notification sound not the GoSMS Alert Notification sound. When muting the AudioGuru 'Alert' only the Phone Alert Notification sounds is muted. The GoSMS Alert Notification sound is not effected thus not muted etc..
I hope we find a fix to this. I'll be checking back but I too would like both these sounds to be at the same level. Thinking I had my phone on silent and then getting slammed with a notifcation ring is not what I intended.
Wait.. they aren't pre linked?

I will be watching this thread too. I have tried many apps on the market that said it could link ringer and notification sounds, but none of them worked. Hopefully there is a workaround for this. When I turn my volume all the way down, I assume it will make no noise. Then I had my email sound go off at 3AM when I was sleeping. Not what I wanted at all. Many phones have this option in the sound settings, so I don't see why Samsung couldn't have put that in here.

^^^ This.
I've spent the last day un-TouchWiz'ing the phone as much as possible (replacing apps with AOSP ones, launcher with Trebuchet, etc) but this volume thing is driving me batty.
I have been able to get the ringer and officiating sounds to "link" using the Go Switch widget. It works all the time when you open the widget and check the box to link the two and adjust the volume while the widget is open but Ive also got it working otherwise but this is spotty.
Yes! i would love to have the 2 linked. When I first got the phone I couldnt figure out why the ringer was so low and the Notifications were so loud.

[Q] How to COMPLETELY disable vibration on the Nexus 9?

I was surprised when I felt my Nexus 9 vibrate as all the tablets I've owned in the past have never had such a feature. However, soon I realized why because it's more of an annoyance than anything, especially when one of my random apps decided to vibrate in the middle of the night.
So how can I completely disable vibration? I have not found a main switch for this. I seem to be able to disable it app by app in some apps but not others.
Thanks in advance.

I like to know too, went to keyboard setting but I swear the tablet still vibrates.
Very annoying, press an button get a vibration.....
Its in the the settings under sounds and notification and other sounds if I'm correct. There should be an option to turn off touch vibration..

Was having this problem too. Assuming you are using Google keyboard, you need to go to two places (both in Settings):
Settings | Sounds & notification | Other sounds | turn off "Vibrate on touch"
-and-
Settings | Language & input | Google keyboard | Preferences | turn off "Vibrate on keypress"
Doing that worked for me.
If you want to make your nexus 9 silent (no vibrations or sounds) for all notifications, press and hold the volume down button until the device enters vibrate mode. Then, tap the vibrate icon and then u will see the usual bell icon with volume set to 0. Look at the screenshot.

I think, I thought the OP meet Hepatic Feedback .... is that right "Hepatic"?
Type with the Google Keyboard you get a vibration every button press.
Vibrations for notifications I have no personal objections and use them on my phone all the time.

Haptic feedback, but close enough And yes, this is what I thought the OP was talking about also, not the notifications.
Well the question has these words: 'COMPLETELY disable vibration' so I thought he meant notifications too....but anyways...knowledge is good, right?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, what I was referring to was vibration caused by notification, not haptic feedback, which I disabled as soon as I setup the Nexus 9.
I've already disabled vibration in settings but some apps, with no settings to disable notifications at all, still vibrate even when I have the device on silent.
It's annoying because some of these apps may suddenly vibrate in the middle of the night or while I'm watching a movie.
Did you try the method which I had devised earlier?

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.

No wakeup on incoming call

When I receive a call the screen does not wake. If I wake the phone manually, I can see the incoming call notification, but the phone app incoming call screen does not show.
Any tips on how to fix this? A reboot does not help.

I had that with my alarm once. Turned out another app was stopping the screen turning on. It was a while ago though so I can't remember which one it was sorry.

Turns out that the do not disturb mode prevents the incoming call screen from being shown. I would like the phone to wake up and show incoming calls during do not disturb, but without any sound or vibrations of course.
My Samsung S7 did wake up. Is it Android P or Huawei that are responsible for this changed behavior?

Yeh noticed that too, it was weird, as my previous Samsung phones never acted like that. This is my first phone with Pie so I'm not sure if it's a Pie or Huawei thing.

You can setup do not disturb mode as you like. For example you can let calls get through or just calls by your favourite contacts.
How the phone notifies you depends on your notification volume settings. If your phone is on ringtone, it rings, on vibrate it vibrates and on silent it just lights up.
So if you put the phone on silent mode while in do not disturb and exempt incoming calls from do not disturb, you should get exactly what you want.

Thanks for clerifying how DND works with Android P on Huawei phones.
That you have to adjust both sound and enable DND to get this behavior, seems like a bad descission by somebody. Maybe some get disturbed by the screen waking, but you always have the opportunity to place the phone face down...
Anybody that can recommend a good sound and notification profile manager?
