Having issues with notification sounds on some Android device?

Some amigos have complained about not receiving alert sounds from the Footy Amigo app on their android device. So, we’ve created this post to help show you how to resolve it. The sound issue is not from Footy Amigo’s app, it’s from the specific device and we hope this guide can help you resolve it.

MIUI 11

In MIUI 11, some notification settings are disabled by default for Footy Amigo, and, unfortunately, there’s no way for the app to enable them. However, you can adjust these settings as follows:

Tap on “MIUI settings”
Enable all (or the desired) notification settings for Footy Amigo:
- Show notifications
- Show app icon badges
- Floating notifications
- Lock screen notifications
- Allow sound
- Allow vibration
- Allow using LED light

MIUI 10

If an app like Footy Amigo creates a notification channel in MIUI 10, only vibration can be enabled as notification signal, all other signals (heads-up, sound, notification light, etc.) are disabled by default and must be enabled manually.

Please enable notification signals as follows:

Open “MIUI Settings”
Open the first entry in the Chats section
Enable all settings (Floating Notifications, Lock Screen Notifications, Sound, etc.)
Return to the previous screen, and repeat the procedure for all other entries in the Chats section

When a new notification channel is added (i.e., when you start using a new combination of notification settings), you will also need to enable that channel’s notification settings as outlined above.

Due to restrictions by Xiaomi, there is no way for Footy Amigo to automatically adjust the notification-channel settings for you. For some selected apps, Xiaomi has enabled all notification signals by default. Please get in touch with Xiaomi to learn more.
