Message sounds and Phone sounds

Software Updates
1

Hi. Love the new Kompakt. However…is there really no way to mute text message sounds yet keep your phone ring on in case someone calls? I haven’t had a text message make a sound in about 15 years and I can’t believe a minimalist phone is making me enter this world of hypernotification. Because I also need to hear when my phone rings. Help!

@miguelnewzealand Our team is aware of the fact that some users want more customizations when it comes to their notifications. I’m actually one of the people who hates buzzing text messages LOL. I will ask them where this is in the scope for updates.

I customised mine with a very subtle “click” noise as the notification tone, which works for me.
If it helps, I also wrote a quick guide about how to turn off notifications for specific apps - it’s a little technical through and involves side-loading.

I use the ‘Drum’ notification sound on a low sound setting, so for now, I have found a work-around ask well.

Sideload the QUICK app and you can FINALLY silience the text messages and just get only phone calls, phone is a BILLION times better since adding this app, never understood why they would not separate these two notifications,

Do you mean you installed a custom notification sound? If so, can you tell me how you did it?

You can do so through adb shell. I put a file in the internal folder for notification sounds and then ran a command to tell it how to find it. I don’t remember the command though, I had to look up how to do it because I’m no expert on these things. It also (temporarily) broke the phone trying to put it in the external storage because of the pathing but internal worked. There is also a command to make the notification mute but still have the ringtone.

Edit: also in my testing it only read .ogg files, ymmv

I figured it would be adb, but I haven’t been able to find a command that would be helpful for this yet

Edit: Found com.tone.selector apk, that can do this as well. Also only worked with an .ogg file

Yes, I installed a custom notification sound. I downloaded it from https://notificationsounds.com/ and uploaded it to the phone, and then I downloaded one of the ringtone apps off aurora and used that to set the notification tone.

I did spend over an hour trying to just make it work via adb, but couldn’t figure out the right command. If anybody else knows it (as a command line alternative to those awful notification apps) it would be appreciated!
