I keep my phone always in vibrate (i like it this way) but everytime I use AudioManager to play music I need to turn the volume up in the system for music to be played through the earphones and then turn it back to vibrate when I finish.
In all the devices I have used before (Symbian, iPhone, simple phones, etc) playing music over the earphones always worked in silent/vibrate mode but in the HTC Touch 3G the speaker/earphone volume seems to be linked to the same control. Is this at all possible? maybe with a reg change?
you should be posting questions in "questions and answers" thread
please take care
for your question keep ring volume zero and system volume full
and set your ring style to "vibrate and ring"

thanks for your suggestion but it does not seem to work fully - I did what you said but when I receive text messages or the battery is low the phone still plays these tones in loud mode, i.e. the phone is not silent. I would like to have the phone fully silent and still play music through the earphones (just like every other phone does; symbian, iphone, crappy phones, all phones)

If you make a ".MP3" or ".wav" with nothing (no sound) in it.... you're phone should play the sound (nothing!) and vibrate.... and lateron music starts playing again at normal volume.... not so ?

that would probably do it - it just seems like such an effort to do something which is so obvious and all other phones can do

There is an App by merlot called mPlug, it might fit your needs http://dev.etechniker.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=83
Try changing all of your notification options (in the Sounds & Notifications page) to vibrate only.

So we have root!
Somebody known app or tweak to increase the ringer volume?
Thx
I have no idea!
The volume of the ringer in my X10i is also too bad.
sometime I can't hear what the people said.
I also want to know how to change it.
So no one found a way to increase the ringer volume? I feel sometimes that I am going deaf. I may have to change my ringtone, but this is really annoying missing calls while you are driving.
Ringer as well as incall volume is too low in the X10.

true, but at least I can illuminate the in call volume issue with using bluetooth headset but the ringer...
This is weird that there is no hack for it.
Just use a decent ringtone, I've not found the volume to be a problem.
hey guys
i know theres not a hack for the volume ringer, but what i did was i use a program which can edit music files on my PC, and i just increase the actual volume of the file itself. then i transfer it to my phone and it plays a lot louder on the speaker. hopefully that can work for some of u
the program i use is called 'cool edit pro' however im sure theres a couple of programs which can do the same thing.
the effect is called 'increase amplitude', i usually use a scientific filter to decrease the amount of base in a song (which hte x10's speakerphone distorts anyways) and then increase the amplitude by about 10dB's. makes it a lot louder on the actual phone vs just putting the original mp3 in.

Ringtone is decent, volume sucks.
Thanks for your solution but that wasn't what I was looking for. I want to explode my speaker and I am looking for a hack.
Cheers,
search google for editing audiopara.csv, not sure how to do it myself as I find the volume to be mostly fine, but that is the key to changing it
just lookied at my /system dump, it's actualy audiofilter.csv on x10, and it's in system/etc
Hi All,
First off, I'm not bashing this device. WAY better then others I've used in the past and performance is nice and snappy! I'm really happy that the geniuses here at xdev have come up with some alternative roms to push the envelope for us and this phone. I'm running Lithium 1.2.1 and love it!
The main thing that really irks me about this phone is the complete lack of audio feedback in many areas. On my Dell Streak and Samsung Captivate, when I went into settings, sound, and checked all the boxes under Feedback, IT WORKED. When I change the settings for whatever keyboard I was using (Swype, Go Keyboard, Thumb keyboard, Swiftkey, etc) and enabled sound ON - IT WORKED. When a Bluetooth headset connected - ALL SOUNDS WENT TO THE HEADSET! Notifications, ringtones, screen clicks, screen lock sound - ALL SOUND.
NONE OF THIS WORKS ON THE ATRIX 2. The only notifications that go to the headset is the incoming call alert (but NOT the actual ringtone) - no notifications on anything else ever go out to the headset - only the phone speaker.... Playing music works great, and phone operations work great. ANYTHING ELSE JUST PLAIN DOESN'T WORK AS EXPECTED.
I've been trying to find a good notification system that can announce calls and read my incoming text messages - NONE OF THEM WORK. oh sure, I can initiate a command and the bluetooth mic works but audio feedback DOESN'T. Skyvi, EVA, AVX, Andy, you name it I've tried it. It acts like it did everything but it never makes it to the bluetooth stack. I'll unlock my screen to find one of these voice assistants sitting on a "Do you wish to reply?" after it supposedly announced my message..... I've tried stock 2.3.5, 2.3.6, and every custom rom available but NO DICE. They all act the same - it seems the entire bluetooth audio stack/stream is spotty at best. and AVRCP response is spotty as well. Sometimes I have to hit my PLAY/PAUSE button 3 times to get the sound to come out in my headset... The first push wakes up my phone (which also makes no sense) and I've found that it actually starts playing the file previously selected - BUT NO SOUND. So I have to hit PLAY/PAUSE again (this pauses the silently playing track) and then hit PLAY/PAUSE again - NOW I GET MUSIC. Pausing a playing file is the same. First tap of PLAY/PAUSE wakes up the phone, 2nd tap asserts control of the music player (in this case Google Play Music but I've tried them all) and MAYBE the 3rd tap will actually PAUSE the music! FRUSTRATING!!! Especially if you listen to audio books!!
Don't get me started on the "now it's working, now it isn't" Haptic Feedback!
<stepping off soapbox>
I know most users don't really hit the bluetooth stack hard. Anyone out there seeing the same things as I am? Everything else seems to work flawlessly.
I have the audio problem as well. My haptic feedback works fine. I get notification sounds, when my notifications (fb and twitter) want to work. Everything else is pretty decent. Weird things: if I hold the phone too tight in landscape mode, the screen won't move, at all...
Personally I hate having my phone make noise, so i turn it all off and it's not a problem.

Wow... now there's one I haven't heard before! Mine is in an otterbox case but I'll have to try that....
I get notification sounds from everything... just not over bluetooth... it's frustrating.....

yep, my sound profile is as follows: Ringtone-alert bright but normally only vibrate
notifications- silent
never will my phone make noise for notifications, that's important when you are in school!
My sounds are intermittent. The screen unlock sound never works. Sometimes the plugged in charger sound works, sometimes it doesn't. There is no unplug charger sound. The haptic feedback is so weak I can barely feel it. Making selections in the app drawer never makes a sound. These are all set to ON.
If this thread was intended to be a 'question' you should have posted it in the Q&A Section, otherwise you probably should edit the title of this thread...
I dont think i have any problems with notifications, i prefer my phone to be wuiet all other times

I have similar sound experiences but I use a wired headset and don't care much for all the notifications (switched em off) so its not that big an irk for me.. My sometime-ish wifi on the other hand, THAT'S a different matter

Currently notification sounds stop the music playback (beats on/off doesn't matter). Is there a way to stop it from doing that? I feel like when I initially got it (1.83 I think) it didn't use to, but since then I have moved on, so I don't remember.
Has anyone found a way to make it stop doing that? The only work around I found is to mute the ringer volume first and then start playing audio.

the notification sound is doing what it is suppose too, you can mute or disable notification sounds then your audio will not be stopped down side would be you will have to check your phone for text, emails etc.
Really? In my previous phone it would mix in nicely with the notification being lost than the music. That way the music wouldn't cut out completely.

The music cuts out during notifications on the stock ROMs (1.73 and 1.85) same as for all 3 HTC Android devices I've owned.
If it blended in to the music, you might not notice it, depending on the volume and ringtone used.
Just turn the ringer volume down. I wouldn't mind it except it doesn't pause the music so there is a few second gap in the song.
Ah. I see. This is my first HTC android.
Thanks

I've no idea where this belongs so I thought I'd go as general as possible.
Is there a way to match my notification/ringer volume with my media volume whenever headphones are plugged in?
I'm constantly deafened when I'm listening to music on low volume and a notification goes off full bore because I've forgot to turn them down. If I remember to turn notifications/ringer down then I tend to forget to turn it back up and l end up with missed calls because I plug the phone into computer speakers to play music and can't hear it ring.
I know the easiest solution to this problem is a good memory but does anyone know of a more reliable option?
Phone details if anyone cares
If it matters I'm using a Telstra HTC one XL (same as the one X on ATT) fully stock, unrooted on 4.0.3. I figured it was more of a general android thing which is why I posted it here. I'd definitely root for a fix but I'd rather not flash a ROM until CM10 or AOKP are almost 100%
Thanks guys!

Haven't used a Nexus in a long while so not sure if this is a stock Android thing, but it would seem daft if it isn't - my problem is this:
I want to sit in bed at night with my headphones plugged in, listening to podcasts. I *don't* want the phone to vibrate every time someone tweets me or texts me in the meanwhile. There isn't a mute feature evident within the volume settings and if I turn on Do Not Disturb I get no notifications but my sound output also completely disappears. My requirement doesn't seem too niche to me!
This seems utterly ridiculous, and someone - either Sony or Google - seems to have made volume control overly complicated for no good reason.
Can anyone help? I hope I'm just missing something, and all is forgiven if so
