Sometimes I come to bed late and when I put my phone on my charger I want it to not make a sound. But I don't want to put it the whole phone on mute in case I get a text or phone call. The 3 previous phones I had did have a setting I just either can't find it on V30 or it is not there.
Mine masked no sound. But I have the system noises turned to zero in the volume control bars
Bumping this thread because I too would like to turn off the sound. Or better yet, change it. But I don't think there is a way. I'm assuming this thread is for Wireless Charging. I honestly think LG forgot to include a sound file for Wireless Charging. Android usually has a file called "WirelessChargingStarted.ogg" in system/media/audio/ui/ but there is not one there. The sound it plays is a notification sound "Crystal" which it is probably defaulting to. Hopefully the Oreo update adds an actual Wireless Charging sound that isn't so annoying or loud.

What about putting it in vibrate mode?

Same here, would like a little reminder, but the current sound is mental. Hope it gets tweaked in Oreo.
I'm looking to turn mine off, as well, but only because I want Tasker to handle it for me, and not make a sound when I'm at work and I put my phone on a wireless charger. (I like to overcomplicate things)
I'll drop this tip here to get more eyes on the situation, but I don't mean to imply that I found the correct option...
Install QuickShortCutMaker from the Play Store. (The icon is a finger pressing a red dot) Then, search through every activity (Start with the Settings application) for a shortcut to charging sounds. Again, I couldn't find it using this method, but I was able to use this same app to get to the Advanced Calling options on my V20, so it can help you get to menus that LG has hidden but not removed from the UI.
Good luck, and report back if anyone finds the right way to turn off charging sounds!
try this way
turn down the volume of 'touch feedback and system' all the way, it should do the trick, and i guess it doesn't affect anything else or at least much important
8.0 installed and still no controls for any type of charging sound control
Installed 8.0 from LG Bridge yesterday and there is still no volume control for charging sound, either wired or wireless, and no custom sound for just charging either. Drats! I too so HATE the lack of this basic feature.

Uh... Yes there is.
It's the volume slider for "touch feedback & system"
Thank You, but...
Thank you, but... I found the Touch Feedback slider as you mentioned., slid it all the way down and it still makes the sound when plugging it into the charger. Darn!
I know necro-posting is frowned upon, but I needed to find the answer to the question again after I had to format the data on my phone.
When you plug in the phone, pull down the bar at the top and long-press the Android System entry that shows what mode the port is set to (Charging, File Transfer, etc...), go to All Categories. Near the bottom, find 'USB connection'. Tap it and then tap 'Importance' and change it to medium.
No sound when any USB cable is plugged in. I haven't found a way do disable/change the charging sounds specifically, but I'm thinking LG modified the OS to not read specific sound files for charging at all, and only uses whatever sound is set in this 'USB connection' dialog.
Also, there is a 'LG_Cable_Connect.ogg' file in /system/media/audio/ui that can be renamed/replaced/removed.

I'm trying to figure out how to silence the media applications on the phone when it's set to vibrate. I would like it to not accidentally make any noise at all when it's set to vibrate. What am I doing wrong here? There must be a way!
There is a great app in the market place called Volume Control. It allows you to adjust volume for System,Ringer,Notification,Media,Alarm and In Call independently. You can also control the Vibration and Save/Load 2 different states.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks for the response!
I realize maybe I'm just thinking a little too simple here, but there's no way to tie it to the phone ringer volume? Once the phone is set to vibrate shouldn't all sound be muted? Maybe I'm just used to the way my old phone worked. Basically I accidentally hit pandora during a lecture in class.... and it started playing even though I had it on vibrate and switched back to home. I couldn't silence it fast enough so I just popped the battery out.
I installed that app, but it doesn't have the option of tying them together. I also couldn't find how to save settings in there.
Thanks for any help.
Hi.
This is my first try at a hack for android. Been readin java previously so i know the basics.
I think there are others that would enjoy this "hack" aswell.
So to the hack i want to make.
Remove notifications while in Car-Dock playing music.
Remove the 25% volume thingy for media volume.
These "features" are incredibly annoying.
If my N1 is in the car dock the media volume goes down to about 1/4.
My notifications go on top of the music. While my N1 is in the car dock im quite sure i would notice a incoming call / sms / email. So there is no actual need for a sound.
What i want to do is remove the lowered volume and all notification sounds when in car dock.
I already removed the car home screen becose its utterly useless.
But this didnt affect the volume as i thought.
If anyone wanna help out with this it would be greatly appriciated
You could use the app PhoneWeaver to fix both issues. It has a car dock trigger and you can turn off all the notification sounds. Also allows you to specify a level for the media volume.
I tried one of these previously.
It removed the sounds. BUT it still muted the music for the moment the notification was supposed to play.
So it didnt disable the notifications. Only muted them.
i would actually like to have mine lowered like you describe, it always seems to crank up the volume so much so that it distorts the sound when i dock it and it is then not adjustable through the settings or through audio manager pro.
I'll have to check out phoneweaver, i emailed audio manager pro and they said there was no plans to set up profiles automatically triggered by docking the phone...
the way i deal with this is i have two home screen shortcuts for audio manager pro that sets all audio and mutes notifications and another that sets it back to normal
holy crap...6.99 for the app, perhaps ill wait to try it out
Ill get to work on this project next week when i have some time.
hi, ive got a weird quirk im not sure what triggers this but it happens randomly it seems, just wondering if anyones gotten anything similar happening and if anyones found a fix besides rebooting.
So, ive got an amaze (of course) on wind mobile, stock non rooted/etc yet.
the issue is ill go to work listening to mp3's, get to work unplug headphones and audio stops playing as normal when that happens, ill sit down to work and get a txt or a call on the phone and it rings as normal, so thinking ill be nice to co workers i go to turn down the volume of the ringer, but instead of it turning down the ringer volume as normal when no mp3's are playing, it turns down the media volume, and i cant see how to get it back to default mode where it wants to allow me to change the ringer volume with the rocker volume button on the phone with out rebooting or going into the audio settings and changing it there.
its a pretty minor thing i know but its just enough to be annoying.
what happens when you go to the phone/dialpad? just copied what you did and mine switches as normal.
your phone should be switching to the correct volume slider depending on what you have open/running. I've never run across a switch that disables that...
If all else fails put a shortcut to audio settings on your home screen
Ive rebooted now so its fixed, ill try that after my walk home, started thinking maybe winamp isnt shutting down cleanly or something.
the odd thing is it doesn't happen all the time outa the 10 times a week i use headphones and change volume after it it only happens maybe 3-4 times a week..
hrm short cuts an idea if it keeps happening, tho im probably gonna unlock and flash this soon so maybe that wont happen anymore.

I'm not sure if it's at all related, but I have a different volume quirk. Occasionally, when I plug my phone in to charge it, the ringer volume drops down to minimum. Not to silent or vibrate, just to the lowest setting where it actually still rings. It's probably unrelated, but it could be some glitch in the volume control somewhere.
Is there a way to turn down the ringtone AND notification volume at the same time? I despise the fact that I have to turn down both volumes separately in the settings when I get to the office....I'm beyond frustrated at such a simple thing.
Every other phone I've ever had, you simply use the volume rocker to lower the ringtone and the notification volume at the same time.
Nobody else finds this frustrating...or has a workaround?
May I suggest using Tasker which would not only take care of both volumes but also do it automatically for you once you get to work (based on GPS location or WiFi network)?

Sorry, I just leave all of my phones on vibrate only 24-7.

I'm the exact opposite. In fact, the main reason I returned the G4 is because it linked the notifications with ringtone volume.

Why not use the smart settings or tasked to do this automatically?
Its funny that the opposite of this (the volumes linked) was one of the big UI complaints with the G4.
Proof that you're damned if you do damned if you don't. Someone's always not going to be happy no matter what.

it's not JUST work where I'd like to be able to quickly turn down notifications and ringtones....... in what instance does someone want notifications volume up and ringtone down...or vice versa? if you lower one, you'll want to lower the other. seems really silly not to link them.

why would you ever want them unlinked? when would you have the ringtone or notifications louder than the other?

again, it's not OLNLY work where I'd like to have quick control of turning both down
I understand your desire, but you also question why would you want them unlinked.
Me personally, I have a ringtone that is much more aggressive than my notification tone. I usually have them set at their own levels, and when I do want to turn them down, I am usually going for silent so I just use the mute to vibrate toggle. I would never want them linked, and would rather a vendor error on the side of giving me options rather than lumping it all in one basket.
I just did a quick search for an app to do what you ask. I haven't tried it, but you could give it a go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.marextafl.mx.simplevolume&hl=en
Good luck on your hunt.
Since you asked...
I have particularly loud notification sound. Normally it's a good thing since I don't receive that many notifications. However, there are times when I'm out and about and doing some heavier than normal texting or someone includes me in a group text including my mother, 2 sisters and niece.
That's way too much and I immediately turn down my notification volume in that situation.
I wouldn't want to turn everything down and risk missing a call. Just notifications so that everyone around me doesn't stop and give me the stink eye because my phone is going off like crazy. (with the 1up mushroom sound from Super Mario Bros.)
I definitely prefer them to be controlled separately. Having a "main control" that brings down all volumes at the same time is also handy to have but if I had to pick one or the other I'd choose the individual controls.

Ya I like them unlinked too. I get lots and lots of notifications and sometimes I just want them on vibrate while I still want to hear when I get a call. I do this at work all the time.
fair enough.... to each their own I guess
Wait. On the second screen when the main screen is off you can slide from right to left and there's a speaker icon. Tap it to set the phone to vibrate, silent or on. Also, you can set the volume slider in the pull down notification panel. When this is there you can tap the equalizer icon all the way to the right and adjust the ringtone and notification volumes separately.

this isn't just about turning it from speaker on, to vibrate...... this is about lowering both volumes together at the same time
Well. Sometimes I like my call volume higher than my notifications. This is also not a V10 issue. I believe that this is the way Android itself handles the volume controls. The only device I know of that has one volume for all sounds is Apple's iPhone.

Some older android phones had them stuck together... it may of been an OS thing or a manufacture thing. I do know at one point they had a checkbox to unlink them, and man was that a good day.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 got rid of the phone jack from previous models and now has only a USB-C connection. I bought a USB-C-to-phonejack converter so I could use the headphones I had from my S7 phone. It works when I am using the headphones to listen to music or watch videos. By "works" I mean not only do I hear sound through them, but I can control the volume either using the phones controls or the built-in controls on the headphones. EXCEPT! Except when on a phone call. When I use the headphones when using the phone, the volume control does nothing. Neither the controls on the phone itself, or the controls on the headphones. I end up deafened because the volume is at max and can't be turned down. Again, this is only while speaking on the phone; other apps let me use the volume controls.
Any ideas on ways to fix this?
Thank you,
S.

I can't guarantee that this will work. But often what seems obvious to me is something other people miss completely. (And the other way around too.)
When you press the volume down or up rocker on the phone, have you noticed the three horizontal dots at the top of the onscreen volume indicator? If you tap on that 3-dot menu, multiple vertical volume indicators appear. I haven't tested with a USB-C audio jack dongle but I am betting that if you have the dongle plugged in (regardless of whether the earphones are plugged into the dongle), one of those vertical volume sliders will be specifically for the dongle/USB-C output.
Give this a try and let us know if this works. If it does, I realize this might be annoying to do every time. But maybe then you can find a utility in the Play store that allows you to set individual volume levels.
Good luck.
P.S. I fully understand if you prefer the wired earphones. But I can tell you that when I use bluetooth earphones of various kinds, simply pressing the volume rocker does reduce/increase phone call volume.

Thank you. I never really noticed those dots in the volume control; just ignored them all this time! I pressed them and see the extra options. I haven't tried the USB-C dongle yet... I just packed it away for a trip this week. I'll keep it in mind though and try it as soon as I unpack.
