Part of the toilet that fills the tank is called a ballcock
Ballcocks have an adjustment to allow the level to be adjusted higher or lower. The level should be adjusted so that it comes up to a mark inscribed in the tank, called the critical level. It's usually inscribed as "CL".
The exact method of adjusting the ballcock differs between the various designs, but usually it's done through a screw.

SOURCE: toilet sounds like it is flushed or water filling up in the tank.

if the toilet has a 'flapper' is there slack in the chain connecting it to the flush arm? The flapper life is usually around 4 years or so - replace it if older.

SOURCE: toilet keeps filling tank every 10 minutes

If there is no water on the floor then the water is leaking down the main tank drain. Take off the tank lid, turn off the water supply to the toilet. Fllush as much water out as you can. Look at the main drain, sometimes if the flapper valve is connected with a chain, the chain can get caught between the flapper valve and the drain hole, the flapper valve is pliable so it tries to seal around the obstruction but can't always do it. Make sure there is obstruction, that the flapper valve is not out of shape or old and non-pliable and that it lines up with the drain hole and doesn't get "hung up" on anything.

The fill valve will not shut off in the toilet tank. Water continues to run out of the overflow tube of the valve into the overflow tube of the toilet., even after the valve has been adjusted.

After flushing the toilet, water still fills the tank till then the shuts off valve reaches a certain level. When the shuts off valve reach the level it disconnect the water connection to the tank and the filling process of the tank shuts off.

So, if your fill valve didn't shut off then maybe there's a problem with the shuts off valve, open the fill valve and fix it. If you can't fix it call a plumber for it.

The toilet takes a long time to refill after a flush would there be a certain part that is plugged or wore out ?

Is the flapper valve slow to return to the closed postion allowing water to flow through the flush valve? Make sure the toilet flapper is moving freely and is sealing properly against the flush valve. If there is no lengthy or continual water flow in to the toilet bowl then this is not the problem.

Is the water valve on the water fill line to the toilet tank fully open? This may seem silly but it could be this simple.

Check to make sure your fill valve is opening fully. If you have an older toilet there may be some deposits that need to be cleaned way to allow free movement.

If toilet does eventually fill to the desired level, there is no leakage, water valve on fill line is fully open and fill valve is opening fully then recommend you shut off water supply, drain toilet and disconnect water fill line from the water valuve and toilet tanke to make sure there is not a blockage. If the water line and connections are clear you may need to remove the fill pipe in the tank and check for blockage. If this is very old, conisdering the cost and effort, it may be simpler to replace at this time rather than trying to extend the life.

Toilet tank not filling up with enough water

By "tank ball" do you mean the fill valve that is connected to the water supply line or the flapper ball connected to the toilet handle?

Toto Toilet - no water flow to refill tank after flush

Remove the tank lid and look at the fill valve. Is it a yellow valve?
This fill valve is common on the Toto Toilets and can easliy plug with debrie.

They can be disassmbled and cleaned. however, I usually just replace the valve with Fluid Master Fill valve.
You will also want to check the water coming into the toilet by turning off the water that supplies the toilet and disconnecting the water supply line. After removing the water supply line turn on the water at the valve to make sure that the water is flowing properly. Check the supply line also to make sure it is not plugged.
Be sure and place a small container to catch the water that will come from the valve. A towell will also help from making too much of a mess.
If the Supply line and the valve are clear the problem is in the fill valve.
The G-Max system denotes the Flushiing system which is a 3" flapper that allows the water from the tank to flow into the bowl quicker.
Good Toilets!
