Re: No alert sound from app
Hi, welcome to AC!
Which push notifications app are you using?
Re: No alert sound from app
Welcome to Android Central! Just to be sure -- when you say volume is up, you've checked to make sure the Notification Volume slider is specifically up, right?
Re: No alert sound from app
It's an app called Driver Partner. The app works fine..except..when they send you a job the screen changes to what they call an "offer" screen. When it changes it is supposed to be accompanied by an app supplied tone. But I do not get that tone or any other.
These are my app settings:
Show notifications: ON
Alert/silent: ALERT
Show as pop up: ON
Sound: APP PROVIDED SOUND
All other options are off.
All volumes are all the way up.
I've tried switching to custom (phone provided) tones but none of these work either.
I have found other users that do receive this tone so it cannot be the developers deleted it.
Re: No alert sound from app
Are you sure it's a notification? The way you describe it, it sounds like when you have the Driver Partner app open in the foreground, and then get a job sent to you, the screen changes to show the job -- that in itself wouldn't be a notification. Or are you seeing it as a notification icon or banner?

That is exactly what is does. They call it a "push notification", but what it really is I have no clue. That being said, I CAN have it set to pop up on my home screen as a short notification..but I don't want that.
When the screen changes to show the job, there is supposed to be an audible alert along with it.

Check your Do Not Disturb settings to make sure it's not scheduled to turn on while driving.

Welcome to AC!
You tried Uninstall the app then reinstall?
Re: No alert sound from app
All my assignments are from home..do not disturb is never on.
Have reinstalled many times.
Just did a factory reset..lets see how that works out.

Ok ..
Re: No alert sound from app
Do you have the phone connected to the car's stereo via Bluetooth? If so, maybe the sound is being routed through the car stereo. If the stereo's source is not set to Bluetooth (e.g., you have it set to Radio or CD instead), that might be why you don't hear the tone.
Re: No alert sound from app
Good point..I do have the bluetooth enabled on my phone. But should that affect anything when I'm in the the house and pretty far from the car, which isn't running anyway?
Re: No alert sound from app
That's true. But just as a test, try turning off Bluetooth and see if the problem persists.
