I have the chance to get a Touch Pro really cheap, but I have a problem with it that I've had with all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones.
On my Snap, I have a ton of volume options when editing profiles: Ring, Reminder, Notification, and System. But with the Touch Pro and every other Windows Mobile Professional phone, you get Ring and System. System controls EVERYTHING but ring, forcing you to have every single notification type at the same volume level. (I've even heard of the Alarm volume being muted if the System volume is turned down, despite the Alarm volume being its own setting.)
Is there ANY WAY -- program, registry hack, custom cooked ROM, anything at all -- to get separate volume settings like Windows Mobile Standard has? This is the ONLY thing keeping me from upgrading...
Thanks for your time, everyone.

I wake up today feeling like sharing
setVol is a really simple app to lock the HD2 volume.
As far as I know, there is no quick/simple way to lock the Volume buttons while the phone is off (screen off), so I wrote this simple tool to "lock" the volume.
It runs every minute (doesn't matter the powerstate of the phone) using "CeSetUserNotificationEx" API.
When it runs it does the following.
1. Gets the current volume
2. Gets the "stored/desired volume" from the registry (HKCU\SetVol\CurVol)
3. Checks if the phone is "on"
4. If the current volume is different than the stored one, and the phone is "On" it vibrates to let you know that the "desired" volume has been stored, and updates the registry.
If the volume is different, but the phone is in any other powerstate (screen off, etc) it set the volume to the stored one.
So in theory, you won't be able to "accidentally" change the volume when the screen is off.
The setVol.exe must be installed in "\Program Files\setVol\" directory. No cab, just an .exe.
To "uninstall" just delete the whole directory
Very strange to see no comments here at all... no one used it yet?
I definitely have this problem on my HD2! the volume buttons are not locked when the screen is locked/off, and that makes it go into silent when i want it loud, and goes into loud when i am in a meeting!
will try this on now! thanks for sharing!
I wrote that one in a couple of hours (right, minutes, but that sounds too quick ) so don't expect it to be utterly brilliant, but at it does the job I wanted, it keeps the volume where I want.
I use S2U2 and don't have that problem.
I sometimes inadvertently turn ringer volume down low, and then forget to turn it back up to full and miss an important call.
I’ve found apps such as Ringer Volume (Android-Lab) however it wants ‘full Internet access’ don’t know if I like that with an app that will be constantly running?
Another option would be a taskbar icon showing my volume level i.e. 20% however I cannot find any such widget. It’s not mute that give me the problem it’s when I decrease the Ring Volume sometimes by accident when holding my Desire HD, with CyanogenMod 7
?Is this the correct section to ask for help on this problem?
Is there a way to fully mute the phone? sometimes in class i open Bing and accidentally press on the voice button and the "Beep sound" plays when i actually wanted to press the enter key.
It even does when the phone is on vibration mode.
So is there a way per registry or app to mute it?
i have the dft rom for omnia 7 with bazaar etc
edit: Purushoths app seems only to do the standard stuff (but not muting bing)

Hello, I just bought a Lumia 820 and turned to Windows Phone. But I don't know how to completely mute my phone. I tried to use the "mute" button of the volume control bar but it doesn't made every sound mute. Some applications still make sounds. I tried to turn the volume to 0 but it's to complex. Is there a way or an application that can completely mute my phone by one or two click?
Sorry for my poor English.
turn volume down
disable vibratrion and system sounds
Hi all
I saw an earlier thread on this but can't believe that it's not a bug that needs fixed.
My phone has no apps open, I unlock it and press the volume buttons and up pops a little window showing me that I am adjusting the media volume. This functionality used to be context sensitive, ie, in this case it would adjust the ringer, in a call it would adjust the call volume and when playing media it would adjust the media volume.
Now it's just the media volume and a few screen actions to adjust the ringer.
Surely this is a backwards step and a bug?
Does anyone know of a way to change this, or an app that can be associated with the volume controls to make it work properly?
Thanks
Michael
I don't know that there's a way to revert it to a previous Android way of handling it as it's the way Google built Pie's volume control to work.
FWIW, they did it for the millions out there who don't ever want to change the volume for their ringer/notifications once they get it set, especially if they start adjusting volume for something like a call before the context has kicked in, so you inadvertently adjust ringer volume instead of in-call volume. At least, that's what I assume it is because that's what happened with me. I have set my phone to vibrate as soon as it's out of the box, and with the new way of handling volume, I no longer have to deal with changing it off of that setting until I reset the phone. I love it.

Thanks for the reply, and the explanation Seamonkey. I have to say though I still don't get why they didn't just make this a user selectable option. Pick the default volume to adjust or leave it as context sensitive.
For some of us the phone is still a device for phone calls first and everything else second!
All the best
Michael
