Problems with new DX.. Errors - Droid X General

Just got my DX (2.2) yesterday and the first thing I have noticed just like my Droid 2 Global is that the Alarm sound is really low. I mean the vibrate of the phone woke me up, I picked up the phone and I could barely hear the Alarm sound. I have looked in sounds/volumes etc... and the Alarm sound is turned all the way up.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
My alarm sound was loud as heck on my D1 with the same settings.
Oh and how in the heck do you make it so every time I either plug in my usb or reboot while it is charging that Verizon's V-Cast Media center website doesn't keep popping up. That is so annoying.
Found my Answer, it was in the Motorola icon on my desktop. Had to set it to nothing instead of web site
another
I just noticed that when I got into Battery Manager and hit the battery to see what is using my battery, it Force closes every time.
I'm starting to thing my D2G is a better phone.

Did you check to make sure the alarm clock app isn't set to gradually raise the volume? Check in that particular alarm's settings.

Well I did look at it but I thought I had it set correctly. Thanks for the help, now I will get up in time.
I think I get so use to things being set up a certain way that I forget the simplist things when it comes times to use it again.
Heck I couldn't even remember how to keep my screen on while charging!!! DOH

Alarm clock ?

couldn't find anything in the user manual - is there any way to get it to sound longer than 1 minute?
i riipped the sound file from that samsung video (where are you going today) but it only plays for one minute
so i figured it might be something i did in editing the file, so i went back to the stock sounds, and still only plays for one minute.
btw - to that poster with problems - when i left my phone charging overnite, apparently the "battery fully charge notification" stopped the alarm action -
I use Gentle Alarm. Haven't had a problem with it. One of my favorite functions is the ability to choose an artist from you music collection instead of a ring tone. When ever the alarm goes off the app will pick a random song from that artist to play.
but how long will the alarm sound for ? mine stops dead at one minute
I'm also interested in an alarm replacement. To make matters worse than the one minute time limit is that if I don't hit snooze it doesn't go off again, even though I have it set to go off five times. The stock alarm is pretty lame.
Gentle Alarm will keep going. I'm a fairly deep sleeper and I've never slept through it.

thanks - i'll give it a try
Nice, thanks. I already like it as long as it works. The playlists and night display are bonus.

Loud Continuous Audible Notification Alarm ~ Battery Charged ~ Sorted

I know there has been similar topics mentioned in the Vibrant Q&A and Captivate General but neither directly effect my request.
Here's the story:-
Prior to putting Froyo JPO on the SGS last week and running a stock JF3, when the phone was connected to any mains for charging as soon as the SGS was fully charged it gave a single loud 'Ping' noise and nothing further.
However, since applying Froyo JPO when I carry out the same procedure and charge the phone, as soon as it is fully charged it instead gives off a continuous loud alarm which is extremely annoying.
The only way to stop the noise is to unplug the phone from the charger which frankly at times is difficult to achieve.
Any ideas how to get it back to either the single 'ping' it used to make or stop it altogether...
If anyone is thinking "just turn off the sound" as the answer ~ I need the sound on in case I receive a phone call, email or text message.
EDITED: Sorted ~ See Page 2.
What about turning down system volume or is this classed as a notification? Fyi - not experienced this myself, but your not the first person to find issues with the battery full sound.

It's not really the answer as I never had to turn it down prior to Froyo JPO.
On the contrary, I would prefer the phone to carry out a single 'Ping' just to let me know the battery is charged... not the incessant non-stop noise it now makes.
this scared the **** out of me the other night as I was falling asleep. :S

I can easily believe you.... My GrandDaughter was fast asleep right next to the charger when it went off.
I've never seen her wake up so quick!
In settings/sound scroll down to Notification ringtone, is that not the sound setting for full battery? choose a different one, then choose the original chosen one and see if its the same annoying tone. I must admit, i charge mine when i am asleep so the sound settings are all off so i haven't heard the full battery alert since updating to Froyo.

No.. that's not the sound... In fact non of the supplied sounds come from Android System Sounds.
Anyway..... I think I may have found the answer ~ Under 'Feedback' de-select 'Audible Touch Tones' & 'Audible Selection'.
God knows why they are changing it but I deselected them both and noticed when I topped up the battery this time the sound changed to what it used to be... a single 'Ping'.
Further tests required to prove this.
I've been suffering with this too since going to JPO. I never had this problem on JF3 or JM1. It's been waking me every night since last week and driving me mad
I already had audible touch tones and audible feedback disabled; are you saying that you have to enable then disable them to get back to the single 'ping' sound?
EDIT: I've just noticed that you can set settings/sound notification ringtone to "silent". Maybe this will shut it up?

It will shut it up but it will also kill all other notification sounds.
If unticking the Audible touch tones & Audible selection does not work for you, instead of selecting Notification Ringtone to be silent instead select 'Cloud' and try again.
I'll be recharging in the next two hours so should know later tonight.
I'm sure it's the notification ringtone, i changed mine from the cloud (which was already selected and being used) to a different one and when the battery fully charged i got the tone i chose.

If that is the case then it would indicate prior to selecting a notification the phone uses that horrendous continuous alarm I mentioned.
We are saying selecting a notification changes the battery alarm.
I try'll selecting a different alarm and see what happens.
I experienced the same problem on my SGS after updating to FROYO. This is how I managed to solve it:
-Go to settings
-Sounds
-Notifications - Tone for notifications
-change to "bubbles" for example
I noticed that no tone was selected when I entered the tone list...
Now, when my battery is fully charged i get the 'bubbles' tone only one time so it won't force me to get up at night to pull out the charger...
Hope this helps...

Yes, you are correct.... It must be when after performing a Factory Reset it changes the Notification sound to No Tone which because there is nothing selected it gives off the incessant none stop alarm.
Sorted.
I hate the notification sound when the battery charge is complete and am trying to completely disable it, but I need/want the general notification sound when a text arrives at the current tone/volume.
Is this possible or are they 100% interlinked?
Any clue anyone?
mine with js3 just does a quick beep beep when it fully charged it doesnt do the notification i select in the options, they only time i hear that one is when i plug my phone into usb on my pc. sounds like i got a lucky break anyway

Turn off vibration when charged

I am told when charging of the phone is complete it vibrates for a few seconds. Anyone know how to turn this off as no-doubt it will waken me?
Thanks.
Not only that, but it makes a stupidly loud pinging noise, too. It woke me up at 3am this morning. I can't find anything in the settings to turn it off.
Anyone?
I don't know why Samsung and LG thinks this is useful.
i dont wake up for anything!! i havent noticed this once yet. does it only ping/vibrate when you are charging when the phone is on? or when it off also?
Only when it's on. I think that the pinging noise is controlled by the System volume slider in the settings menu, I had it up to full which is probably what caused it to wake me. I've put it down to about 2 now but am yet to test to see if it's quieter.
I can't find anything to turn off the vibration though.
I'm yet to get my phone, so can't check, but have you checked in the sound settings? There's apparently an option for Vibration if I'm understanding page 129 of the manual.
" Vibration: Set when the device will vibrate for various events"
I'm hoping the fully charged event is one of these.
OK, so the ping isn't controlled by System, it's controlled by Notifications. Which is really stupid because if you turn the volume down on that how are you supposed to hear when you've got a text message?
Disabling 'Haptic Feedback' in the Sounds menu seems to disable the vibration part of the notification. It also disables vibration on all other UI interactions, though.
Anyone got a solution to this really annoying problem?
do you really have to have your phone so close to you when you sleep???

If you can try and get me something to go on, I can perhaps try to find out what is causing this vibration...
I am guessing it comes from the framework...

I don't have anything to go on other than that the phone makes a loud beep two times and vibrates when charged.
I mentioned it in one of previous topics covering this problem and I will mention it once again.
SGS i9000 had the same problem in one of the first firmwares. Vibrations and sounds when battery charged have disappeared starting from (I think) one of the first Froyo updates from Samsung.
Samsung will hopefully address this problem sooner or later.
I had autostarts purchased, from back when I had to worry about what was running. Looking it seems on plugging the phone to usb or charger it launches "Mtp application" guess that would be a good place to start.
On a slightly different note. Once the phone is fully charged, it stars to drain again. Is there an alarm clock app that keeps the phone around 98% then starts charging again 30 mins before the alarm is due?

But doesn't you change the sms sound from the sms app? Thats how it works usually in Androids. The notification sound is for any other notifications, but you can change different for the sms sound. Thats how it works in Nexus S at least. Same for the gmail app also.
I guess this is in services.jar
I will take a look shortly.
...uurm...dunno if this is what you guys want but
Have your mobile on silent. (Alarms will ring in silent mode)
Go to settings - sound - vibration - Only when not in silent mode
It won't vibrate nor make a sound whilst your asleep

So at least it works in that way. Thats how my phone is always at night. Good to know, my phone will come in about 1 or 2 weeks.

Please. I would be more than happy to send a donation!
There might be a solution if you are rooted...
In the folder /system/media/audio/ui there's a file called Charger_Connection.ogg and you can rename that to Charger_Connection.ogg.bak (personally I use adb and the 'mv' command, Root Explorer should work fine too).
Plugging in the USB cable now doesn't make a noise, just waiting to see what happens when it's fully charged...!
UPDATE: Nope, it uses a different noise... still looking...

Make sure there's not a conflicting app that changes things! I was using audio manager pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget&hl=en
for a while. After the Marshmallow update.....forget it. It would reset my notification sounds every time it was active from the toggles I set up. Drove me up the wall for a couple of weeks because I couldn't figure out why the phone was doing that.
Some apps have a setting for the ringtone and if left at "default" it may actually pick up the actual original default of the phone, not anything you set as default. That's what this app did. Basically, for me- what was happening was every time the app to scheduled the sounds to be at a certain volume, as soon as it would change back, it would reset to the default sound.
I went one by one uninstalling apps to see if it persisted, if so, I'd reinstall an app, then go on to the next with the same process. I lucked out and found it after a few apps which was causing it. I ended up switching to Volume Control https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netroken.android.persistfree&hl=en and it does everything the audio manager pro app did that I wanted and more.
(for the record, I wanted a widget that showed the levels, single toggle widgets for certain levels like mute, off, low, loud, as well as scheduling multiple time frames for different days to have the sounds at certain levels),
Anyway- point is, it could be in an app that you have that manages the sounds or alarms or something of that nature....you might think about checking to see if it impacts things by the uninstalling/reinstalling process until you narrow it down.

notification sound issue

at some point of the day i noticed my notification sound no longer working.
I got all the msgs on my notification but with out sound.
turning off and on didnt fix. only the battery pull worked.
it happened like every once a day. some times I have to do battery pull twice a day.
I had this phone for a wk now.
anyone having notification sound issue?
even the turn off screen and on sound muted.
There's a few bugs, nougat is brand new, they'll fix things. My headphone kept buzzing one time until a restart
Its not just you. And I don't think its exactly something to do with Android 7.0
If you look at how your audio menu is when you change the ringer volume, you'll see that when the phone is set to vibrate, it actually MUTES the other two sliders.. it doesn't set them to vibrate. With that in mind, it seems more likely LG has a bug, than Android 7.0 having a bug.
Having this problem as well with my H910 (AT&T). It's very frustrating indeed. What's even worse is that it seems sporadic in nature, sometimes I will get a notification chime, sometimes I won't. As skyedream said, a battery pull is the only way to get consistent notification sounds, if only temporarily.
I think I get this too. Often I pull my phone out of pocket to find I had a text that I never heard.

I had this problem too yesterday where it was just frozen. Did a restart and all seemed ok after. First time that happened.
This happens to me as well. Also, I will get double notification sounds at times. Like an echo. Or, a different sound mixed with my selected sound. A reboot fixes. Have to do it a couple times a day. Very annoying.
No sound for notifications + no web video playback
I also have same issue with notifications. No pattern on what causes this, but a reboot gets rid of this (just for sometime! and the problem is back). I have also noticed apps not working smoothly and unable to play web videos including from Youtube app and Facebook App. Overall, tad disappointed with the software quality on this set.

Good call, thanks! I also notice that even though I have Sound Settings-Volume-Touch & Feedback sounds Off, I still get haptic feedback vibration on keyboard while typing this reply to you. It goes away when I go into Sound Settings-Vibration Strength, & turn slider off for Vibrate on tap. The Settings software isn't connecting the overall Volume Profile with the Vibrate Strength settings it seems. I don't know enough to know whether this is Android or LG. Under Vibrate Strength you can control notifications too, though haven't yet tested. Hope this helps til it gets fixed.

I just tested texting...even though on quick settings slider notifications for text are grayed out, while call setting show vibrate only, in the full settings menu, under Vibrate Strength, you can slide the vibration strength up...I did this, sent myself a text, and phone vibrated the notification. I think it's messed up that I can't shut my call notification off completely, including nvibrate quickly with volume key or quick settings. Have to go into full settings menu sound & select silent. Please fix this Android/LG.

I experience the same as you. I usually clear regents and then hit restart and all my notification sounds come back and videos. I'm just wondering, are you using any type of ad blocker? I use the ad block browser and I've noticed that whenever I open my browser, that's when my notifications get muted.
Issue resolved after update
Hi, looks like this issue is resolved with the update I got in January 2017 end. But not sure what caused it to fail in first place. But as of now, all is well after the update. Cheers!
I still have this problem over here on T-Mobile. Very annoying.
Anyone ever find a fix? Having these issues on a new LG V20 US Unlocked connected to Verizon.
Bumping this to see if anyone has found a solution to this. My V10 started muting notifications when the ringer volume was set to vibrate on one of its later updates. I figured it was a glitch in my phone since I didn't see anyone else complaining about it. This was one of the reasons i decided to upgrade to a V20. I was pretty surprised that it did the exact same thing and it's apparently by design. Who in their right mind would think this was a good idea?
I'm not sure of the cause, but I had many calendar reminder alarms fail to sound over several days when I got this V20. I tried different calendar apps and ended up with one called aCalendar. It works OK most of the time, but there is still a serious issue. If ANY other kind of notification happens to sound right when a calendar alarm needs to sound, the calendar will NEVER sound its reminder notification for the alarm. I've had this happen several times with incoming text or social networking message notifications. I hear those, and then the subsequent alarm that should have sounded concurrently is silent. I've had to set 2 reminders for the same important event, spaced 10 minutes apart, to try to reduce the odds of this issue hijacking an important notification. I've not seen this exact problem ever before on any Android device. My US Unlocked V20 is 100% stock. No idea what to do about it. But from what I can glean online, neither LG nor Verizon plan to push any future updates on the V20, so we're stuck.
For contact selecting unique notification tones that actually stopped working
I got this LG v20 and I loved it...still do....but... how do I keep certain text notification tones thst i select to not change back to default?...on its own? Crazy. I use zedge ap to download ringtones n notification tones. Maybe there is an issue there?
@Dkb123,
If you could please add some punctuation to your post, it might be easier to read so someone can understand your problem and help you .
I am using a rooted HTC One m10 with Viper ROM and am having the same problem. Echos notification noises, turns off alarm and notification sounds, and it is beyond annoying. I have already had to reset it twice to try to fix it and nothing has worked. I have no idea what is causing it but when I try to open my alarm app it says it was disabled and could have been caused by a system time change (which didnt happen) or battery saving (where I have it whitelisted). I will try disabling my ad-blocker. I'm not sure how those things could be connected but since it was suggested I will give it a go. I am consulting all of the developers I know about this but so far nobody has an answer. I am kind of starting to freak out because I need my phone to work. I have 3 kids under the age of 6 in school and need to know when someone has to get in touch with me. Before the last reset, I also saw that when my notification was disabled and I went back in to reenable it, it had been switched back to the sound I had selected the time before that. One more note. When I go in to check my notification noises, all of them, my ringer, notifications, and alarm, are all blank for about one half second before they repopulate and then show the correct tones. If it were as simple as it being my ROM someone would have posted it on the thread because it is a pretty big problem to have gone unnoticed. Is it possible we are all running an app or have a shared setting that is causing this to happen to only us. I had to dig pretty hard to find this thread in the first place. It might help if we posted a list of our apps, what do you guys think?

Hi. You posted this in the wrong area. This is for the LG V20. Try searching the HTC One M10 area for a solution. Someone there might be able to help you.
