Edit: I've been told it's Surface Dot
I've seen the Surface Duo for the first time in person today and was very impressed. One thing I noticed at two Best Buy stores is that there was no default notification sound set. It was set to "none". So I'm guessing this is a store thing given there are 2 or 3 available ringtones with "surface" in their name for notifications.
Can anyone tell me what is the default notification sound out of the box?
Thanks!

I have the HTC Wallaby or TMOBILE phone edition. I upgraded the rom to XDA Developers rom and wow...what a difference.
Has anybody had any problems with the ring tones? I understand how the thing works pretty much but for some reason I can't get the ring tones to change for different callers. I tried by catagory and by right clicking on the name from within the phone number organiser and selecting the change ringtone function but it defaults tothe ringtone selected in the sounds control panel for all callers. Is there a patch or did I miss something. Anybody else run into this problem

Ok.. So I bought the wife the SGS2 as she had been waiting for it since the kid through the captivate in the toilet ;D well i did the root method and then just put cognitions new rom on there.. I do not know if she was having the issue "stock" as I don't know that she put zedge on it and it was working . wife i saying it was happening with stock as well.. anyway.. the issue is.. i set (she sets) the ringtone and notification to something else.. I have tried stock and tones DL"d from zedge and no matter what I change it too.. it continues to just do the default tones.. her notification is that whistle sound and ringtone is the samsung one (i think) default..

Hmm, I'll try to look into this later this week (going out tonight), but I do recall that notification tones for email seem to not work. However I may have just not heard it.
SMS and Google Talk notifications do work normally for me, same for ringtone.
My SMS and email notifications wont change for me either.. I change it in sound menu and still get that annoying "whistle" with every text!!
BTW I'm stock..

Ive noticed that you have to change the notification ringtone on the SMS application separate from the general notification ringtone in settings. Access this by hitting the menu key while in SMS app. I believe email notification tone would be accessed the same way.
This is correct. I did the same thing and now my notification sounds are as customized

This is the same as the Captivate (stock roms) -- you have to be in the application (messaging, email, gmail, etc) and change notification tones there.

thanks a lot guys..
i did notice this morning I heard her notification message was saying her new one.. however, i noticed that it was only when email was coming in, the text was still the whistle.. so I will go in and try to change as stated above and see how this goes.. again thanks.
this also helps as a friend and his wife still have the captivates and his wife had this same issue and it was "HIGHLY PISSING" her off so much she wants to get rid of it and get one of those ancient "phone" only type phones hehe

edit:
confirmed.. does work. for some odd reason, you go into text/sms app and when you go to settings, sure as s*!t it is set to default as the "whistle" ringtone and not default in which I would think it would default to what ever you set as the standard notification one.. going into gmail and it stocks to default.. so thanks again, working for her now..
Another 'gotcha' for ring tones if you point your ring tones at the internal SD/ external SD and then use usb storage mode to attach those drives, you'll get some sort of weird notification sound that's not any of the normal ones if a notification arrives while it's mounted.
Hi
Just bought this tablet and set it up today, after coming from the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. I am a long-term Android user and am happily using Oreo on my Galaxy S9. Unfortunately, either I am missing something or am totally thick, but I can't find anywhere how to change the notification sounds for various apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Gmail etc on this Mediapad. I have the 8.4in running Android 8 & had no trouble doing this on my Galaxy S9. I go into notifications, it only gives me the option to turn the ringtone on or off, doesn't give me any list of tones. I have made sure all the apps have storage permission and virtually all permissions except for location.
Please someone make me feel less thick!!! :silly::silly::silly:
It's weird because it is there for me. From top to bottom:
Silent - vibrate while silent - DND - tablet ringtone - vibrate while ringing - notification
And in the last one I can set a notification sound or music
Def not for me. I was wondering whether to try a factory reset
I have now done a factory reset. Same problem. Facebook is fine, however so far, Gmail and Twitter are 2 that do not have the option to change the notification sound. I can switch them on or off, but can't change the tone. If I was able to post a screenshot of what I can see, then people would know what I mean
I'm right there with you. Got my new tablet on Friday, and I can't figure out how to have different notification sounds for multiple email accounts set up in the Gmail app. I've done this before on other devices, but it seems to not be set up to work on this tablet. Anyone have any thoughts?

The thing is I have actually looked under each app, which I had to do on my S9. Apps like Twitter you have to actually go into the settings, then apps, then Twitter, Gmail etc then find the notification within that and you can change it. But I have done that on this tablet and there is no option to change the tone. Facebook and messenger I have been able to change within their app. Any others, I cannot do within the apps or within the system settings. It's really strange. Shame we can't do screenshots on here.

Guys,
For those out there who have this phone or are still testing. Can you:
Set different ringtones by contact (I can see you can only set 1 ringtone by SIM card in settings)?
Can you assign different notifications per app? Eg: a different sound to SMS receive compared to email received -- Can you set notification sounds in the native app itself while disabling the normal Huawei system notification otherwise?
LED notification PULSE light. Any one take a video of it displaying in the dark?
Can you set different LED colours by different notifications using a 3rd party app like LIGHTFLOW? Not sure if it has Pie support yet...
The fact that there's a 99% likelihood this phone cannot be unlocked to customise as I see fit is a big turnoff, meaning a lot of useful apps I have to go without...making Huawei stand up and tick more boxes is now extremely important
Any help is appreciated

Based from my limited reading, the OS itself is preventing this. I am a big fan of customized ringtones and notifications too. I'd know when it's my wife calling or when it's work or something else. I'm not closing my doors on this. I hope we'll get a solution real soon.
If you use Google contacts, click on the contact go to the 3 dots on the top right in the menu there is set ringtone
Google messages, settings, notifications, sounds
If you go to settings, apps, notifications, sounds you can set different tones for almost any app
weird, I don't see any "notifications" under apps as you've said

Even without Google contacts you can set tones for different people in the stock dialer contacts app, go to edit the contact and at the bottom there is a tab saying "more fields" and it will allow you to set custom ringtone. If you go to settings then apps and click the app you want to customize and at the very top it'll say 'notification management" click on that and then click on sound, and then you can pick a sound.

When you go into each app settings there is a notification option, sometimes it is under miscellaneous or more options.

I use Light Manager 2 from Google Play. Works pretty well for me with customisable colours of the LED.

In the stock contact app if you click on the contact person and edit, then go to more fields at the bottom there's a ringtone option there.

awesome, cheers for that. Shame it only lets you select from the start of the song. Coming from Samsung, it would give you that option as well as suggesting the "best" part of the track for a ring tone. which always worked really well. Do you know if there's anything like that in the software or even a 3rd party app that can do it?
Hi guys. I just switched from Apple land and trying to get used to the Android ecosystem since I've been using iPhones since the iPhone 4.
The biggest pain point for me is getting a handle on the notifications. Apple gave you a lot less control over what you see so I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of control for SOME apps (I guess it depends on how granular the developer makes it for the users).
My current obstacle is receiving notifications while in an active call. I spend most of my work day in meetings so it's important to see notifications showing up in real time. When I'm on a call the notifications are causing a vibration or alert but there is no popup to indicate which one just came in. When I slide down the notification center I don't think the notifications are sorted by date/time so I have no idea which one just came in.
1) is there a way to force notifications to pop up on screen even when I'm on a call so I can glance at what it's about?
2) is there a way to sort notifications based on date/time so I can make sure the topmost one is the most recent?
3 bonus round) does anyone have a good solution for more iOS like notification bar that looks less congested and confusing (this is one of the only things I miss about iOS)
Thanks.
