Charging sound notification sound hack? - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know of a way to activate the charging notification sound? Not for wireless charging but for regular charging. There is an option to check it under sound, other, but it does nothing. In the past, I used to use my favorite charging notification sound, but it looks like newer android versions had done away with it for some reason. I'd very much like to know if anyone knows a way to bring it back.

I use the MacroDroid app to have my MXPE vibrate when plugging it into power (like my old LG G4 used to.) You might see if they have some sound notification options in there too. It is a free app for your first 5 macros. If you want more then it is some small amount. I'm sure Tasker could do it, but I was never good at writing the macros.

I use Trigger.

Disable sound notification when connecting to USB

Does anyone know how to disable the sound notification when plugging into USB? I've seen a few posts here and on other sites, but they don't seem to be relevant to the X (I guess some other phones have a "None" or "Silent" option for the notification sound, while the X doesn't).
I also have SD card notification turned off, and USB debugging off, and still no go. I keep my volume turned up so I can hear it ring when I'm in the car or anywhere there's background noise, but when I plug it into USB it plays the "Droid" sound kind of loud. It's bugging me and probably other people near me at work...
Any help?
No ideas? Anyone?
Install Audio Manager and use the widget to reduce the "Alerts" volume. That will leave your "Ringer" volume up to the higher level. Of course, this will lower all of your alerts (incoming text messages, etc), but it leaves your ringer alone.
Thanks, but that's not any better than having it say Droid...then I'll never know it when I get emails/texts, unless I happen to see the blinking light.
I think I'll just deal with it though, it's not a huge issue, and I don't normally plug it in and unplug it that often that it's really a problem...just on occasional annoyance.
It's really annoying that argubly the best Android phone out there lacks features everyother Android phone has.
In your main settings change notification to silent. In gmail settings change the tone to what you want and in your sms change your notification to what you want.

I am unable to get this to work. There is no "silent" notification ringtone. Putting the phone on "silent mode" does exactly what you would expect. I can change individual sounds per application (calendar, text, email, etc) but whatever I have set in the main settings of the phone will be the ringtone for the USB connect. I'd rather not have to create a blank MP3 because that's just dumb that I would have to go that length to do something so simple.
OK, what I did is just change the Notification ringtone to "Look at Me". It's not a perfect solution, but it's much quieter, so I can deal with it.
I know this is an older post but there is a check box for SD card notifications under settings, sound. Just un-check it.

Sound when connecting to a charger? How do I enable this?

For some reason the files are there to make a sound when connecting to the charger but the phone just vibrates. Anyone know how to enable this sound when connecting to the charger. Thanks!
Switch to Sound mode instead of vibrate/silence should help
Only helpful posts please. Of course the volume is up.
Is the System Volume up? Tap the gear behind the volume bar and check if the bottom bar is set to silent.
Yep. System volume is up. Does yours make a noise when connecting to a charger.
Mine just vibrates. No sound.

Thank you! The files are there to make a noise when connected to the charger but it does not work. Hope someone has an idea to get the sound back?

Huh. No, it doesn't.
I never noticed, I always have system volume turned off because the power fluctuates here just enough to keep triggering the sensor, and on my S3 it kept making a bloody racket every other few minutes. Very irritating.
Turned it up, but no, it doesn't make a sound. Just vibrates.
Those sound files are only there because Samsung did a lazy copy of the generic sound files they use in their nature ux theme. They just copied them all instead of deleting the ones they didn't use in the Note 3.

Guess there just is no way
Hi,
Something which might help is an application in the Play Store called Light Flow (allows you to set all things colour, sound and vibration for events which occur). The fee-based version has a 'Charging' notification which will play a sound when you connect your charger (just tested it and it works). Perhaps check out the Lite version first and see if you like it and/or it has this option for free!
But just let me add... I used to like this app but I don't use it any more. I had to remove it from my S2 because of a talkback issue. Now with the Note 3 there seems to be issues with the LED light not working as it should when the app is enabled. You also have to inspect each event (e.g. SMS, etc) and make sure what you had on before the app was insalled is still on (the app only has a certain number enabled by default and overides stock alerts).
Hope this helps.
Jonty.

use the app from playstore called PLUG SOUND. that's all it is for to make a sound when connecting your phone and dis-connecting your phone. best thing is you choose the sound from your phone anything you want. hit thanks if this helped
Ancient thread, I know. Mine turned out to be a setting to allow exceptions when do not disturb mode is on (which it is always on my phone). In (Pie) Notifications->Do not disturb->Allow exceptions->Touch sounds (on). With it turned off, I get no sound when I plug in the charger.

Wireless Charging Notification Sound

Is there a way to disable Wireless Charging Notification Sound? There are two different types of sounds my S5 makes when placed on a wireless mat. A three tone sound, followed by a two tone sound. The three tone sound is made only once ... I do not have any problem with it. Its the two tone sound that drives me crazy. It keeps ringing all through the night, at random times. It looks like it makes a sound each time the charge state changes (stop, start, resume, pause, etc). I do not want to disable my notification sounds or phone volume altogether. I just want to mute this one sound (without ROOT, I would like to add). TIA
Is your phone in the case? Is that it losing connectivity with the wireless charger. If it is in a case try using the phone on the charger without the case to see if this prevents the two tone from repeating

Same question for me.
I would also like to find out how to disable this sound. I have root so I have access to system files. I wonder if there is a setting in /system/csc/features.xml to investigate. I know that the camera shutter sound can be disabled from that file so I wonder if it also deals with notification sounds.

Two USB Questions: MTP and Daydream

I've been using the Moto G4 Plus for about a week now, and it's working well for me. Some of my questions I've been able to answer via usage or research, but there are two minor ones that I'm curious about: Update: I received answers from Motorola to my questions about MTP and the ringtone (1st comment) and have documented them below in red.
Under the "Developer options" settings, I have the "Select USB Configuration" option set to "MTP "Media Transfer Protocol". However, when I connect to my PC via USB, I get a notification "USB for charging", and I have to open that and select that and change the setting to "Use USB for FIle Transfers". Is there a way to have MTP (vs. charging) default when connecting the cable? According to Motorola, the phone will default to charge only every time with no way to change it. That's a security feature so that your files aren't automatically exposed.
I use the Daydream option when charging and docked. In those cases, Daydream runs for a while, but after a period of time the screen goes completely blank. Is there a display setting to keep Daydream running as long as I'm connected to the charger or dock?
Thanks in advance for any insight that anyone may have.
I just thought of a third question and failed to post above: When the phone rings for an incoming call, the first ring is extremely faint, then it raises to the normal volume. Is there a way to have the ring commence with the normal volume so I don't risk missing a call? Thanks. According to Motorola, the ringtone volume is a protection against having the phone ring loudly right in your ear. It can't be changed either.

That's supposed to be a safety feature so the phone won't blast into your ear. When I was rooted on the G3 I used an xposed module to fix that.

Yeah, that's what Motorola indicated. It's okay, but to me it's kind of an odd rationale, as I generally don't have the phone to my ear when it starts to ring, only when I'm answering. I haven't rooted the phone yet. Waiting a while, and curious as to when N will come out. Thanks.

There was a huge discussion on this in the Moto G2 forums. Many people contacted Motorola over this and their answer was this - No. That is a safety feature and will not be changed. So everyone else modded the system to work with that. Secondly, the MTP thing? That's also a safety feature that won't be changed. You'll have to use an Xposed module to set MTP as default.
I keep my daydream as a digital clock, full brightness, working on "either docked or charging" mode. Never experienced the issue you are facing.

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.

Ya, I have the exact same problem... (I have a H990DS)
I can't seem to even fix it with a reboot.
I have emailed LG about the problem - we'll see what they say...

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.
