Every time I'm downloading a new notification sound, I cannot set it as a individual tone. Phone plays stupid default 'Crystal' sound, despite of my setting in Sounds and Notifications card. And yes, Contact ringtone option is disabled. Please help.
Thanks

My girlfriend just got the ED01 update and now her phone won't ring or notify. The phone will still ring for those contacts that she has individual ringtones set for, but that's all. Any ideas? I told her to set ringtones for the important contacts for now.
Have you tried to reset the default ringtones?
Yeah, when you click on Voice call ringtone, settings FC's. Although I hadn't tried it for the Notification ringtone until just now and it worked. The ringtone was set to silent. So halfway there!
I've selected a certain sms notification sound through messaging but when i recieve a text message it plays the default notification sound. i've also noticed when i go into the messaging settings and try to change the sound it jumps from default notification to whatever sound i selected on its own. any help would be great
now it seems that my phone picks which sounds to play. its only in messaging though
there seems to be similar issues that other people and myself seem to be having with email notification

Every email I get, I have a small vibration alert.
I only wants an alert on the notification bar, without any sound or vibration.
I managed to set the sound to Silent, but I can't find any settings to avoid the vibration.
This option is freaking me out.
I got dozens of emails every day - each one the phone vibrates.
Am I the only one?!
I'm sure your not dude.
In the settings/sound did you untick "Sound and vibration"?
I have found a work around temporarily before they update the software with a more discrete management of vibration in different notifications.
Under settings - sounds - vibration intensity you can set the notification vibration to nil.
I primarily use this for it to only vibrate when phone call comes and all other notification i only want sound and no vibration.
You should be able to do this by opening up your email application> settings> select your desired email account> you should now be able to adjust your email notification settings from the available options.
Hope this helps
I want to set a notification tone for Google Now Reminders, but it seems it uses it's own default notification tone. How do I change that or turn it off so I can at least use Tasker for it?
EDIT; Nvm I found it... I just use the Now Cards notification. Thanks.
I have a Moto Z2 Play with Nougat 7.1.1
I jumped directly from Kitkat (Cyanogen OS which my old phone had and which I never updated as it was very buggy update to Lollipop and I wanted for MM which never came) to Nougat when I bought the Z2 Play. It's mostly a positive change except for the notification settings. I know it's been discussed at length how Google messed up the notification settings on Lollipop and the trend has continued in Nougat too.
So now to my issue with it. I have currently set ringtones at full volume and Notifications on silent by selecting default notification ringtone as "None" as I don't want to hear a chime on every notification that comes through as most of my notifications are News feeds. Whenever l recieve a notification my phone vibrates so I assume there's no setting to customize Silent/Vibrate by default for all notifications and also individual app unless the app itself has implemented it in its settings like Textra and merely selecting no notification ringtone sets it to vibrate unless I go to individual app settings and set on the toggle "Show Silently". It is quite convoluted really.
Now what I want to achieve with the way my phone acts on notifications is something like this:
I want the to set a default notification ringtone and I want to set some notifications to vibrate and some to silent which I simply cannot do unless the app provides its own settings of silent/vibrate.
I want the Reminders and Events set in the Google and Calendar app to have a notification ringtone even when in default settings I have set notification ringtone to "None" but they rely on default notification settings. Some apps like Textra provide their own so is it really hard for Google's own app to do the same. This way I can set a different ringtone too than the default one. So I would like to know of a way to do so.
And honestly why aren't Reminders relying on Alarm sound i.e. if alarms are allowed to make a sound Reminders should too. It is really frustrating. I missed a reminder like this today because I wasn't aware of the convoluted way Nougat handles all this.
Kitkat had the best implementation. It had a separate slider for notification sounds too.(Cyanogen OS had one).
What I think is a better implementation is allowing to set a default ringtone in Sounds settings and then in individual app's notification settings separating the vibrate part from the "Show Silently" option. This would allow me to achieve my goal of having a ringtone for some apps, vibrate for some and silent for some. And it would solve my problem of having a sound when I have set a reminder in the Google app and have set default notification ringtone to "None".
The best implementation of course would be to set a default silent, vibrate or ringtone for notifications and then have granular control for each app i.e have a list of all apps and allowing to choose from Silent, Vibrate or ringtone for each app which would override the default.
Also why not allow to change the default sound that the volume rockers control. In Google's own YouTube app volume rockers change the notification volume and not the media volume which is again very frustrating.
Sorry for the long post and rant. I really wish Google fixes this but I doubt it.
