Confusion and suspected bug in system sounds vs. ambience sounds
asked 2015-12-04 17:07:58 +0200
Hello community,
I just got my new Jolla, featuring Sailfish 2.0.0.10 (Saimaa) and I love it. Guess I don't have the carry the legacy of all the UI changes from 1.x to 2.0 and therefore got a clean view on this great OS!
I have read all the threads which discussed the settings concerning system sounds and ambience sounds. As far as I understood, the ambience sounds should override system sounds and the ambience volume should, too.
It seems that in Sailfish 2 (opposing to 1.x) the system sounds change with the ambiences. Meaning the system settings are now connected with the active ambience. I set all the ringtones in ambience "Silent" to "No sound" and ringtone volume to "0". When I activate this ambience and go to Settings >> Sounds and Feedback, all sounds automatically got switched to "No sound", as described.
Now the strange things: Strangely the same action doen't work for ambience "Freedom". Here I also set "No sound" everywhere but now ringtone volume "20%" (The reason for this is that I want "Silent" to be totally silent and "Freedom" to have no sounds but vibration in combination with "vibration only when volume is on"). Here, the system sound settings are not changed but are set to the standard ringtones for each respective action. If I change them manually to "No sound", they get swichted back to defaults when I change ambience to random and then come back to "Freedom".
Second strange behavior: In "Freedom" sometimes(!) I get the standard message ringtone receiving an sms instead of the set ambience tone "No sound". That's quite embarrassing, when I expect everything to be set on vibration only and suddenly a message ding at 80% volume goes down in a meeting.
Thanks for your help!
