Unable to Personalize some sounds after System Update. - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Just updated to MIUI Global 11.0.2 & found it reset some of my customizations to new ones.
Wallpapers & such were easy enough to fix but when I went to Sound & Vibration settings, saw that I can only change the Phone Ringtone, Alarm Sound, Events & Notifications.
Was the other ones misplaced somewhere or removed? It really bugs me that I can't change the new default text/message received sound as every new text on my phone keeps reminding me off it.

[Q] Calendar Notifications not working on my HD2

Hi all, i just noticed that i no longer get calendar notifications, no sound and no message on screen. It's been a while since i changed any settings or installed cabs and i don't know how long this has been going on so i don't know what caused it.
i checked Settings - menu - all settings - sounds and notifications - notifications tab
event - reminders, and made sure display message on screen, sounds, vibrate etc is checked, but none of those options actually happen when an appointment is due.
using Energy ROM dutch cookie2.0 beta 1 oct
can someone please help me out or point me in a direction to search for myself?
Same bug to my leo with the latest official rom...
Same issue on my HD2 too...., stock ROM
It was working fine earlier....
i fixed this a while ago, not by changing any settings but because i flashed a new version of energy rom. Whatever setting was causing this was put back at default i guess.

Notification settings

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.

Just got the phone, need some help with notifcaiton sound issue

So I am still in the process of setting up my phone when I ran into this issue (at least for me it is) The only thing I want an actual notification sound for is my text messages..I have notifications setup for Twitter, Instagram and FB Messenger but I just want those notifications to appear in the bar silently. I can't seem to figure out how to stop the notification sound from happening for these notifications too. In the notification sound area in settings there is no option for silent. I get way too many social media notifications for there to be a sound every time.
Android OS issue / feature.
Now in the new OS, you have to Annoyingly go into each application, and set which application you allow it to alert (notification).
then usually in the same menu choose if silent or sound or vibrate

The in app settings are all set right, there should be no sound based off how I have those set. When I go to application manager notifications settings are as follow "Block"( Show no notifications from this app regardless of the notifications settings in the app) "silent"(Dont sound vibrate or appear on the screen regardless of the notification settings in the app) and "priority (let these notifications interrupt when do not disturb is set to priority only)
All of these dont seem to be what I want because it will also block the bar notification if I am understanding correctly.
it might be a bug with how the LG V30 is handling it.
I have the HTC U11 (planning to get the V30 as well) and it works properly as expected in the U11.
Maybe somebody else that already has a V30 on hand can confirm.
I'm waiting for the Carrier Unlocked version of the V30

I am testing out the silent option that I posted, it sounds like it would block everything but maybe I am just misunderstanding it.
The silent option I posted seems to have worked, I just misunderstood what it does. Thanks for the replies.

8.1 - notification sounds are not playing...

I have made sure of...
1) Volume is on for the ringer
2) Do not disturb is not enable
3) I can hear the audio from apps - youtube videos, podcasts, music etc
This only started happening with the latest update. After a certain point during up time, I no longer will hear any notification sounds - phone calls, text messages, emails to my inbox, keep alerts, assistant activating
A reboot fixes this.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I've just been around a similar frustrating loop. I'm not a developer and I don't have GAPPS installed so try this and if it doesn't work somebody else more expert may eventually help. Use the settings search box it helps to find your way around. First make sure you have 'Do not Disturb' options turned off (gray). Sound options on my Samsung Lineage17 seem to be in 2 places. The place you find from Settings\Sound shows the volume sliders which should be up. Tap them and check the sound is there. In sound settings you can mute any of these and the green sound bar will show gray. I don't link the ring and notification volumes (gray, off).
Now type 'default notification sound' in the search box and tap the result Default notification sound/sound. Very strangely this puts up the same sound settings as before but with more options to change sound files. I've not yet discovered how to get to this extended screen from Settings. With no GAPPS the default lineageOS sounds are in the OS somewhere I haven't found yet. Installing GAPPS puts Google sound files in the usual root folder.
Before I tried changing from the LineageOS default sound to point my file browser to my custom folder I had no SMS default sound. I had to wipe the System and Dalvick caches then reboot. Since you said you have sounds until some time later, I'm wondering if you have delayed 'Do Not disturb' options set? When you first boot and sound works, check the volume sliders all show green (unmuted). Then when your sounds stop, go back and see if the volume sliders now show gray (muted)? In the past I've found some 3rd party Apps using sounds can interfere with normal default operation and you have to go through the pain of finding the culprit. Good luck.

change default notification permissions

This post was edited by X4V1R at 14:00, Jan-17-2019
I bought a Xiaomi mi 8 and I got the MIUI Global Stable 10.2.1.0 update. Now I realized that all the notifications are getting bad default configuration by default (for all application).
All the notifications emitted by all applications are always getting the same settings :
no sound
no lockscreen permission
no floating notification
no notification led
It sound stupid to me because we are forced to miss the first notification of each category of every app before being able to change the settings manually.
Even worst, some applications creates new notification category for every new notification. As it is not possible to configure notification for a category that is not yet created, there is no way to enable them.
Is there a way to change those notification settings to have sound, vibration and lockscreen permission by default for all notifications of all applications ?

yeah lots of things regarding notifications are ****ed up since the android pie update.
For example you CANNOT change the notification sound for emails/gmal anymore.

That's the second most annoying thing about the "new" notification system of MIUI 10.
But the default notification settings are even worst. You won't be notified at all if an app create a notification of a new category when your phone is locked.
Anyway, still looking for a solution...
