Pixel XL messages tones - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

I remember in the past to be able to set a text tone to a specific contact. I see the option for a ringtone but where did the option go for message (text) tones.

That would probably be a feature in the text messaging app that you are using. Was it a global Android feature? I don't remember ever seeing anything like that in the Android settings menu.

I remember using that feature with the Android messaging app with the Nexus 6P. But has been a while.

Open a text message with the contact you wanna set the ringtone for. In the top right of the conversation thread hit the 3 buttons, then choose people & options then notifications.

There we go. They moved it but that's exactly what I wanted.
Thank you

Wow, I had no idea that feature was even there. Android seems to hide a lot of cool features for some reason.

[Solved][CM10] Ehnhanced Notifications Disabled

Hello everyone
I've switched from CM7 on my old Nexus One to Galaxy Nexus and CM9, which was updated later to CM10.
I know everyone will tell me I've done a wrong thing, but I restored my whole phone apps/configuration from my old phone using TitaniumBackup: I have to say except for 1-2 apps, it worked just as I wished.
After few days of CM10 and watching other phones around me, I found out that Enhanced Notifications are already enabled in the nightlies, but they seem to be disabled on mine!
At this point I'm looking for some advice for enabling this feature. For sure, factory reset is the fastest option, but I will forget about the enhanced notifications rather than going through the whole factory reset thing.
I really don't need the full instructions here. A very brief hint can do the trick for me.
Thanks
Is it a specific to any one app or all of them? Because not many apps actually support enhanced notifications yet. Gmail is one that does.

Honestly, I never had the enhancements on my phone, so I don't know for sure on which apps they should appear.
Gmail gives long notifications (some content of the email), but no buttons. I think this is it for now.
But for missed calls for example, there should be some buttons, which are missing.
You mean the issue refers to phone app? nice idea. but I don't know whether phone app is not sending them, or notification bar doesn't receive.
Can you introduce me some app with the same feature support, so I can test?

Gmail isn't supposed to have buttons, just long message preview. The expanded notifications aren't always expanded. Drag down on it with 2 fingers. It should have buttons for a missed call.
Easiest way to check expandable notifications is to take a screenshot.
It's a huge shame for me that I didn't know this double finger trick.
thanks a lot

By the way: the notifications are never expanded on my phone. How can I change the default settings?

I think it just depends on if you've got other notifications already showing. If you've got none it should default to expanded.

texts on lock screen in 4.3

Any way to disable the text message display on the lock screen? The counter from before was perfect. This new thing is going to get me so busted.

since am not on 4.3 yet, am sure there are settings on the messaging app to disable that and or the settings on lockscreen settings to disable text notification on lockscreen or use a different app like whatsApp that will help a ton
I want it back like it was before 4.3 If you open the text app and settings all the way at the bottom all it shows that you Disable or enabled it but it's like one or the other.. Lame..

I got hooked up with the setting on another forum. It's in the menu within the text app. Uncheck the preview option. You lose both the notification line preview and the lockscreen preview.

Yup. Unchecked the preview message option. Now the lock screen just has a big box which says "new message."

I have a S3 and just received my 4.3 update yesterday. This morning I noticed that I had a txt message because of the "new message" on my lock screen. I'm not sure what I changed but I no longer get that notification. I don't want the message preview just the big box which says 'new message'. Any ideas would be much appreciated!!
Under the Messaging app settings, I currently have "Preview message" unchecked. I also have "Flash notification" unchecked.
Thanks in advance!!!

LG G4 thoughts

So I'm making the move going from the Nexus 6 to another phone, possibly the G4 or IPhone 6. The issues I had with Nexus 6 plagued me on multiple N6 devices. Like calls freezing on "Hanging up..." while ending a call that never goes through and the ! issue. This is the big issue. The ! prevents any mobile data, text messaging and phone calls, usually until the device reboots.
So, I'm on T-Mobile, any helpful links or advice on this phone? What's the screen size difference between the N6 and the G4? At first I loved the N6 screen size, but after owning the N6 since December, I find it cumbersome and difficult to use one handed.
Uh, Google? http://www.ubergizmo.com/products/lang/en_us/devices/lg-g4,nexus-6/
I've been on that website comparing the phones. But I'm more interested in reviews written by legitimate G4 users.
I hate that the notifations are not expandable.. Why would LG remove this from the status bar.

Oh, the drop-down notifications are not on this device? So if I get an email, I can't swipe the shade down for a quick view of emails?

After you pull down the shade entirely, shift the screen upwards to the point where it hides the wifi, bt, airplane mode etc etc settings. Try expanding the notification again.

Top speaker not working for notifications/alarms/Ringtone?

Not sure if you are still wondering, but yes, this is normal unfortunately. I've gone as far as setting up a Tasker profile to get around it.
Don't really see the big deal

Can you share your Tasker profile?

Don't know but mine is silly loud on alarms and tones.
Sound definitely comes out of both speakers during incoming calls and notifications. However, when choosing a sound in the settings, it does only come from the bottom speaker.

I have attached my prj.xml I have literally never shared a Tasker project so I hope this is sufficient! If you have any questions, let me know! Just remember to set the ringtone in Android settings to "none".

Sure thing! If you haven't already, you're going to want to download the tasker app. Once you've installed that, open it and (like the previous post mentioned) go to its preferences and disable "beginner mode" under the "general" section. Then go back to the main screen and long press on the home icon in the bottom left corner. Tap "import" and then navigate to wherever you downloaded my profile and click on it. That should import the project. Once the project is imported, you should see "Phone Ringtone" next to the home icon on the main Tasker screen. Tap on that and it should bring up 4 profiles. At the top, tap on the tab that says "Tasks" and that should bring up a list of 4 tasks. Tap on the one labeled "Play Ringtone" then click on "Music Play". To the right of "File", tap the icon that looks like a magnifying glass, then navigate to the file you want to use as your ringtone. After that, make sure all the profiles are enabled on the main screen, then go to Android settings and set your ringtone to "None" so you won't have a ringtone AND music playing each time someone calls you. Hope this helps!

As I commented in another thread, I imported this project, made a test call to my cell phone with Google Voice/Hangouts from my PC, and it works and sounds great! Thanks again!
I believe there is an actual issue here.
If you play music and have the notification selection for SMS or phone calls open, and pause the music and select a notification or ringtone, it will play from both speakers and be loud and sound great.
If you play it again, it will suddenly only play from the bottom speaker. If this is intended, it's not a good decision in my opinion. It's way too quiet.
so this XML fixes the issue and makes ringtone play via both speakers?
because i rooted my phone, didnt find a solution, restored back to stock. just want to make sure this works, to go through the rooting proccess again,.

Notifications sound ... Bug or missing feature?

So its new phone day (well its day 3) and i have problems i hope you have solutions. So the old phone (also running pie) ment i could change my text tone (tone1) facebook notifications (tone 2).
So i now have tone one as the default tone but it now is every tone on the phone, so easy go in the app and change it. Except messages does not have a sound option for notification.
Not to worry i think i can just change facebooks sound ....nope that don't have a sound for notification section ... ah i think i can turn facebook sound off .... i only need to see the notification in the shade ... nope facebook doesn't have that either ... any advice?
Thanks in advance
