Blast Message Tone

[Bazara Benavides]

YesI have the same issue, message notifications make a sound when unlocked, but not when locked, Lock Screen does not even light up when notification received. If I wake it up the notification is there.

I took out my very old iPhone se (1st gen) and started using it again, it is supposed to be compatible with iOs 15. When I get text or email it vibrates very gently, like I can feel it if I'm holding it in my hand, but no notification sounds, no ringtone when I get a call.

Like many of you, my notifications volumes was minuscule compared to the ringer volume on my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 15.0.2.Then I found the following solution suggested (I don't remember where I found it):

I have the same issue with notification sounds not working unless the phone is unlocked. However, the notification still sounds on my watch. When I turn off Bluetooth, the notification sound works just fine.

I've also been experiencing this on my 12 Pro Max running the official iOS 15.1. I haven't been able to figure out if there's a pattern (ie only when unlocked..), but most of the time I don't get a notification alert for my Messages. I'll just check my phone randomly and realize I have a bunch that came in... I verified that Notification sounds are on and Messages have instant alerts (with Repeat Alerts set to Twice even). Very frustrating!

Same here, updated to iOS 15 on IPhone 11 Pro the other night, and now my loud speaker is gone, and the volume is way quieter than before the install. Looks like Apple has a new update to make. This is uncalled for.

Same issues. iPhone X No text message sounds. All settings are correct. If I turn off Bluetooth phone functions normally. But since I have my devices connected by Bluetooth that is not a real option. Turn Bluetooth back on alert sounds for messages goes away again. IOS 15.1. Might have to figure out how to roll back to an earlier version of iOS.

These indicators are especially helpful for neurodivergent people, such as those with autism or dyslexia, who may struggle to understand the tone of written content. These tone tags are most commonly used on social media where miscommunication and misinterpretation are high. Tone indicators are never used as a joke; they are only used to convey the real intent and tone of the message author.

While tone indicators have been around for centuries, they gained popularity in 2020 on platforms such as TikTok, Reddit, Twitter, and Tumblr. Supporters of tone indicators say they want to be inclusive and help others have a better experience online. A lot of Gen Z social media users have adopted them, according to The New York Times.

Tone indicators can be used anywhere in text-based conversations. This includes texting, social media posts, social comment sections, emails, and more. You can use them on any of these platforms to clarify your tone, especially when your tone may be ambiguous.

The first proposed tone indicator was proposed by Henry Denham in 1580. It was proposed as a way to help people better understand ironic phrases in print media. The first proposed tone indicator was the percontation point, which is a backward question mark. Denham wanted the symbol to denote a rhetorical question. But, usage of the symbol died out in the 1700s.

Sirens are used to provide an emergency warning to persons out-of-doors; they are not designed to penetrate buildings. In Monroe County, these emergency warnings could be for a tornado, hazardous material spill, or a plant accident at the Enrico Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant in Newport. When you hear a siren outside of the normal monthly testing (last Wednesday of the month at 10 am), go inside immediately and tune your radio or TV to an Emergency Alert Station (see list below) for official news and information about the emergency.

Sirens for the Fermi 2 plant are located within a 10-mile radius called the Emergency Planning Zone, or EPZ, of the plant. During the monthly testing, sirens will sound the "Alert" tone, which is a three-minute continuous blast. This tone will be activated for any emergency requiring public warning and notification. Within the Fermi 2 EPZ, there are no longer voice sirens. A single tone siren with no voice system has been implemented, which is consistent with most other nuclear power plant communities throughout the country.

Ensuring the safety of schools and industry within Monroe County is a goal within the Emergency Management Division. Most schools (public and private) and industry within the County have opted to purchase a tone-alert monitor to warn them of impending emergency situations.

Tone-Alert monitors can be activated from either the Emergency Management or Central Dispatch. A two-tone encoding signal is transmitted via radio, followed by a voice announcement indicating the type of emergency and what precautions should be taken.

The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) is now the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The Federal Communications Commission is currently working on expanding and improving this system to better serve the needs of citizens and emergency workers. Monroe County is part of the Southeast Michigan Operational Area.

You may take advantage of these broadcasts to get up-to-the-minute weather updates, and storm warnings in real time. By purchasing a NOAA weather-alert receiver from an electronics store. When purchasing a receiver, be sure that it has the capability of SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding - for filtering out unwanted broadcasts), and also the tone-alert feature that will activate when a watch or warning is issued for our area.

To use this service, program your weather radio to frequency 162.450. Residents living in the northern townships of the county who have trouble receiving on this frequency may tune to the main Weather Radio frequency at 162.550.

Tornado/Storm Warning: Long steady siren in one tone for three minutes.

Fire: Alternating high/low tone for approximately three minutes.

Attack/Defense Alert:: Waving tone of short blasts for three minutes.

Wayne urged me to post this.I saw this used as an avatar on another audio website, and it brought back a lot of memories. _Test_Pattern.jpgThat was the classic TV test pattern from the late 30's until well into the 1960's.I remember that from when I was a kid. One station (we had them all ... all 3... KATC Ch 3 ABC, KPLC Ch 7 NBC, and KLFY Ch 10, CBS) the test pattern would come on right after midnight when the regular programming went off, right after the Star Spangled Banner with a picture of the flag waving. The test pattern would stay on 30 or 40 min and go off, then snow until daybreak. There was also a sine wave test tone transmitted that would drive you bonkers.

Another station ran it all night, then back to regular programming at daybreak.

Back in the early 60's we only had two channels, KLFY Ch 10, CBS in Lafayette, LA, and KPLC Ch 7, NBC in Lake Charles, LA. Remember, no digital tuning, it was a dial, click, click, click.

We were so used to just clicking three clicks back and forth from 10 to 7 to 10 to 7, that we never looked around the rest of the dial.

I was at school, and some other kids were talking about some cartoon I never saw. When does that come on?, I asked. They told me. No, I said, such and such comes on then. They said, no, it's on that new channel, Channel 3.

NEW channel? Channel 3??? Heck, nobody told me!!! I rushed home that afternoon, clicked around to the opposite side of the dial, and Voila! Channel 3! It was a whole new world!

BTW, I was a teenager before I had seen my first color TV, and that was at someone else's house. I didn't know until then that the Wizard of Oz was in black and white until just after the tornado, and when Dorothy wakes up in the Land of Oz everything was in color. It all looked the same on a B&W TV... who knew???The purpose of the test pattern was to adjust the cameras. The patterns in the corners to adjust pincushion, fill the screen. The Indian Chief, if you will notice, is shaded.

They would put a poster on an easle in front of the camera and adjust it to look like the monitor. From my reading, the monitor would be fed a signal with the testpattern that was etched on a cathode ray tube.

They would switch the monitor back and forth from the CRT with test image to the camera image of the poster until they had the camera exactly matching the CRT image.

The Chief was to get the contrast and brightness correct. The stuff in the corners to get the image square and filled out all over the screen.

I suppose the test pattern was left up until the studio cameras were just right, and being tube gear, I am sure they left the cameras hot until the morning news. Then the test pattern was back on early in the morning I would think as a final check.

Back then all the TV channels had early morning local news, farm reports, weather. Ch 10 KLFY in Lafayette had Passe Partout, which was a morning show in French, news in French, etc. I think they still have it.

-detail/a-taste-of-success-on-klfy-tv-10s-passe-partout/1734343797

They would have some Cajun music, too.

When I was a kid, Passe Partout came on 0600-0700 I think, then the national news in English.

Anyway, that was live from the studio, so the cameras had to be ready to go first thing. The rest of the day was mostly CBS shows, and then local news and such at noon. Then the afternoon soaps, etc. Dialing for Dollars after the soaps... remember Janice Joplin's "Lord, won't you buy me... a color TV. Dialing for Dollars is trying to reach me." That was an afternoon fad, they showed some classic movie, which I am sure Ted Turner owns now, and at the commercial breaks they called people, and if they answered some question correctly, they won money.Well, that was TV before color, before cable, in rural America. But we had it all... all three channels.I'm not sure that now, with 500 channels, we have any better programming. You can still flip through them all and not find anything worth watching.Maybe if they had Dialing for Dollars again?
