Should my iOS app make sounds too?

When there are notifications (charging stopped/started) the notifications show up on my lock screen, but my phone never makes a noise. Is there supposed to be any sound when a new notification occurs on the iOS app?

Mine makes a sound. You need to change your sound settings.

Change in settings - notifications, and turn on 'sound'.

Oh, it's settings - notifications - model s, not model s directly under settings.

mine does not make sounds and i do not see a sound option under the notification settings for this app. it's fine by however, but the option would be nice i suppose.

Oh yes. Sorry I missed that. I don't have the phone nearby and my suggestion is the usual pathway, as you have tried. So the App does not have sound notification(my phone is always set to silent).

I guess I'm not the only one who thought the 1Up sound was perfect for text messages :biggrin:

I have precisely the same issue. No facility to turn on sound for notifications from this app.

The notification always buzzes for me. I believe it rings too, but last time I was in a noisy environment, so I only felt the buzz (from the phone).

My experience is somewhat different on my iPhone 5s iOS 8.1.2. I get a silent notification when charging starts and a sound notification when charging is complete.

What version of iOS do you run and what type of phone? Again on iOS 8.1.2 on iPhone 6, there is no sound provision.

iOS 8.1.2 on iPhone 6

On my phone the Tesla App settings has: Allow Notifications, Show in Notification Centre, and Show on Lock Screen, which means the sound setting comes from the notification centre.

But like I said, I didn't hear the sound as it was noisy (and i get so many alerts that sometimes the brain just shuts them off, which is why I have vibrate on).

@arijaycomet - thanks for making Tesla aware of this. They need more recent hardware; if they truly have no device they can test with the latest iOS, then that's a problem.

FWIW, I have iOS 8.1.2, Model S app 2.2, and Model S firmware 6.0 (IIRC). I do get sounds along with my banners.

1. Settings : Notifications : Model S - no sound option, but the list of apps in Settings : Notifications shows "Sounds, Banners" in small print beneath the app name. Clearly this was set at some point in the past (by me? default when I originally installed?).

2. Settings : Models S (i.e., settings for the app itself) has a "Notifications" entry that, as above, says "Sounds, Banners"; tapping seems to lead to the same Notifications page, but again, no sound option on either page (no surprise, at this point).

3. In the Model S app itself, there's a settings page. I have notifications checked for everything except "Charging Started" (timed charging = I don't want a wake-up alert ;-) ). No options for sound/no sound.

Some apps in Settings : Notifications show sound options and some don't. What they show (a toggle, or the ability to pick a sound) varies from app-to-app, so this smells like a bug on Tesla's part (perhaps triggered by an iOS update at some point). I don't remember what it used to have (on/off? select a sound?). Again, thanks to @arijaycomet for contacting Tesla.

Make sure that you haven't accidentally activated the "do not disturb" on your phone.
