Low volume on apps notification? - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, my Moto G makes a loud sound on some apps like calls and texting, but apps such as facebook messenger, whatsapp and facebook app make a really really low sound? anybody know how to fix this?

Same here. I think that phone recognizes facebook messenger sound as ringing tone instead of notification tone. Ringing tones start really quietly, and after a secont they get loud. The thing is that facebook messenger notification last very short it never gets a chance to get loud.

then no way to fix it? :C

I think there is no way. Motorola should fix that. It's really annoying...

Raised the same issue on Motorola Forums. Waiting for test results from their lab. I tried with non-system sounds (.mp3 & MIDI Sequence Formats) as ringtones, alarm tones, notification tones & it didn't work with either system apps or 3rd party apps.
After some R&D at my end, I realized that it was happening as I was using low bit rate files. Files with higher bit rate (192, 320 kbps...) played loud n clear as system sounds, but the problem still remains with 3rd party apps like watsapp etc...

That's great. Please inform us as soon as Motorola provide you with some new information. Testing shouldn't take too long because it is obvious that the problem is general.

I'm also the same problem, I hope that fix this soon.

Any news on this? Facebook notifications are really low!!?

Please

No one!!

Hello

this free app helped me to fix this bug: - Disable Increasing Ring

Just edit the sound files and make the loud sounds lower (Like in Audacity.) . Yes this is a time consuming option. But it leads to a permanent fix. But the loud sounds with be low and so it equalizes with facebook messenger sounds etc.

Low notification volume
This is really bugging me now , Audacity fix doesnt really solve the problem , you just end up with a very distorted sounding tone . Although notifications are ok through my bluetooth speakers

possible fix
Ok its not a fix of sorts , it seems the apps notification tone gradually increases in volume , but with a short tone of say 2 seconds the tone has finished before it reaches a level that you can hear it . Try a tone of at least six seconds , you should hear at least 3 seconds at full volume .

Has that worked for anyone else ??

It's annoying.
I can't barely hear any notification.
Have someone managed to fix this??

Found a fix for this if you are rooted. Worked great for me to fix this bug http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/mod-disable-ascending-ringtone-t3218683

[Q] Strange notification sound from G+

I use Google+ and G+ messenger a lot. I have a very active chat and do not want a notification sound every time someone writes something in the chat. I have set every notification possible to "Silent" in Google+ and Messenger but I still get a notification sound every time someone writes something. A friend tested this out on his phone and his does not do this. I have a feeling it is a sound from Sense UI that I can not find anywhere. I can not even find the same notification sound being used for anything in the sounds menu. Can anyone test this for me or have the same issue?

I have tried that. I have looked at every setting there is in the phone and no matter what this same noise always happens every time I get a notification. I can not even find a setting that uses that same chime anywhere.

I just got my HTC One last week. After some tweaking, I realized that I am running into the same problem. Notification under both G+ and Messenger setting are set to "Silent" with vibrate off. Whenever I get a notification from G+ I also hear the chime sound even though it's set to "Silent", this is actually the default notification sound from stock android (I just switched from a Nexus S). I've tried everything I can but nothing works. Have you fixed the problem somehow? If yes, please let me know how. Thank you.

Nope! It is really weird and is seems like eventually it finally solves itself. The new G+ Hangouts app seems to work better and give me the correct notifications.

Notifications make no sound, even when selecting one in the settings menu.

I have been an android user for a long time, but this one is stumping me as there is no process or specific error. I have searched and haven't found anyone with a similar problem. Just got a Nexus 6 today and it will not make any notification sounds. The notification volume is all the way up and phone calls have a ringtone that works. What is really throwing me off is that when I am in the general settings or the settings for any other app, clicking on a notification sound has no response. I will be in settings and overlooking the list of potential default notification sounds and no matter which one I click there is no noise, as where with the ringtones they all will play me the sample.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, I hate that something this simple has stumped me somehow.
Thank you.
this happens with my alarm sound in the settings. it just won't play it, even though its a google sound. but, when its needed, like when my alarm goes off, it sounds. and that's what is really important. so I ignore the fact that it doesn't play in settings anymore (it used to though).

If that were the case I could deal with it but it won't even make a sound when its supposed to.

try using an app to set a notification sound, maybe that will work.
This happened to me running Pure Nexus, reboot fixed the issue. Still not sure why it didn't work in the first place

On my N6 there were two issues with low sound.
Settings - Sound & Notifications
The media sound with headphone is safety thing, you need to allow more volume for headphones.
Second issue; low incall-volume was solved with Vcplus app.
Don't know more.
I dunno it seems like a issue with the phone or could it be android m? The notifications on any my 3rd party apps like Facebook messenger are so quiet when the screen is off its insane. When the screen is on their normal.

I am sorry for you. I read about low volume when using Lollipop. The current version MM works OK on my N6.
I am using a lite ROM of Danvdh. A debloated stock ROM.
Maybe this thread has more info for you.

No sound on Twitter notifications P20 Pro UK

Hi,
Does anyone here get any notification sounds from the official twitter app on the P20 Pro (stock rom, CLT-L09 8.1.0.110(C782), not rooted)?
If I go into the settings I can turn the notification sound on or off but either way it does not make a sound, neither can I select a sound.
I had a similar issue on the Mate 10 Pro but on that I could set a custom sound but it always played twice.
Thanks for any help or suggestions that don't involve using a custom rom, rooting or changing to a 3rd party app.
make sure alarm sound is not muted/media sound.
Since some times apps go after alarm volume or media volume and if one of these are muted, you won't get any notification sound.

Cheers, I've checked all that but all are turned up. All other apps make sounds, just not official twitter. I've tried uninstall and reinstall too.

After some testing myself with twitter app, it seems to work fine for me. I do not have this problem :/
Are you using stock rom or custom?

Weird Notification Sound

Hi All
Been using this device for about a month now. There are weird and annoying notification sounds which play during notifications.
I've set a default notification sound. It plays sometimes but there are two other annoying notification sounds which get played. I've failed to find out where those sound are. They are not present in the options to select notification sound.
Is there anyone else facing same issue. The sounds are so annoying that I have to keep my phone in silent most of the time.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I'm having the same problem. Random notification sounds, but I don't know where they're coming from...
I was able to resolve the issue. Almost every app has its own notification sound. Not sure where those sound files are stored though. You need to go to app settings section and go to notification. There you need to choose the behaviour. Let me know if you need some screenshots. This is really a dumb UI mistake. And the people of Nokia support have no clue of this.
