Revision history [back]

Pardon me because following question partially overlaps with this one.

I agree with the post linked above but I'd like to ask it broader: Sound settings in system menu show always 'jolla-ringtone' as my ringtone, no matter which ambience I use and what ringtone has been set from ambience settings. Likewise, if I set a ringtone from system settings, it doesn't affect the current ambience.

It makes me really confused because I'm one of those people who search sound settings from system settings and it caused a bit of frustration when settings I made from system menu had no effect. To my sense it would be logical that the menu in system sound settings would show and affect current ambience. At least system sound settings menu should state which settings it affects, if not current.

So, after little fiddling I found that the settings set from ambience are the ones in effect. But then, what settings are those in system settings? Am I just totally dumb and missing something?

Considering also the post linked, sound settings seem to need a little unifying.

At least system sound settings menu should state which settings it affects, if not current.

For instance, when I go to the sounds section of the settings app, it could take me to the current Ambience's settings page, provided that it is a favorite one that has its own settings, and to the system defaults one if it is not. Otherwise, surely Jolla will come up with a solution that makes more sense to a new user.

Ambiences that are marked as favorites in the Ambience section of the Gallery app, marked with a little star (and thus can be accessed by side-swiping from the homescreen), have their own tone-settings and override the system defaults when active. The other Ambiences that are not marked as favourites (and thus don't appear next to the home screen) do not have their own tone-settings. When a non-favorite Ambience is active, it leaves the system defaults in place.
