Coming from a iPhone 3gs which I believe is hard to here any kinda alerts with out jail break that it is louder than my captivate. I have set all volumes up to make and even added some custom rings. Still can barley hear or feel vibrate.
Also no matter what I do my email alert is set wronge. Even using the setting while in email and changing it won't stick.

compare to which phone?
because i'm coming from a SGS and i find it stronger
same goes for my old Treo 650 it felt weaker than the SNS
however the Moto XT720 feels the same as the SNS
Option, this is what I do. I use app call missed reminder. I turn off the vibrate for sms, mms, calls and gmail. I set this app for the alerts and lengthen the vibrate times so I can fill. I wish gtalk was part of it.
glad im not the only one feeling this because coming from all my previous android phones dating back to even the g1 had an intense vibration the sns just sucks...lol
Have you tried restarting your phone? My one good and i normally notice it but it just went really weak until i restarted it. Might help.
Go SMS Pro allows you to set your own vibration for sms. not sure about calling.
I'm a guy who likes his phone to be as quiet as possible. It's always in vibrate. However, there are times where I'd like to hear some notifications, say text messages or calls from people I'm expecting, or other events relevant at the time but everything else is still suppressed to vibration. Is something like this possible through an app, or is it something that requires a bit of modding in Android? It's more convenience and definitely something I could live without, but it'd still be nice.
Make sure your phone is set to vibrate on all events. Change the ringtone of what you don't want to vibrate to a silent ringtone, and what you do want to ring to an audible one.

How do I silence notifications?
I have been looking around the settings and cannot find a way to silence the notification sound for SMS's, emails, etc. On stock Android most applications have a ringtone called "Silent" or something to that effect. On the HOS I cannot find it. I feel stupid asking this, but hopefully I am not the only one that is new to Sense and does not know where this is.
Thank you.

Go into sms>setting>notification>uncheck notification sound to silent sms. Then go to mail>settings>notification settings>uncheck sound notification. Hope this helps

Notifications and the phone Ringer volumes are tied together with no way to separate them. If you put the phone in silent it will silence notifications, or if you use the volume rocker on the side of the phone, notification sound volumes will decrease with ringer volume.

That is completely impractical. If I want notifications silenced, I don't want to jump through ****ing hoops like some dog & pony show, but I suppose technically you're right. As long as you don't mind all those ridiculous steps to get it done. But you can't turn notification volume down without turning ringer volume down.

hey im not htc i didnt decide to make it that way lol. i know its pretty dumb but he wants to be able to silent the sms, email, etc and thats how we have to do it. lol
An alternative solution: Try getting the app Volume Control +, set it so that ringtone volume and notification volume are not linked, and then turn down the volume on notifications all the way.
I haven't tried it, so tell us if it works for you.
I've tried with other volume control apps,and they all show different volumes for a second, but ringer and notification are always the same volume, even if the app shows them as different. I guess I'll give Volume Control+ a shot, but I would be surprised if it made a difference.

Volume Control+ & Audio Manager wont do it either.
Try this app:

Thank you for your responses and support.
I was able to disable the notification sound for gmail and SMS.
However, I cannot find a way to disable the notification sound for calendar events. Does anybody know how to disable event notification sounds?
I think it is crazy that "Silent" is not an option in the default list of notification sounds. It would be the easiest way to disable all notifications in one-step.
Thank you.
Has anyone figured out a way to make it so you can set different sounds to mute (example just notifications, which are tied to ringer, stupidly) without the sound profile for the entire phone changing to silent? If I set ringer to silent, everything but alarms and media are silenced, which is ****ing annoying. If I want everything silenced I'll set the silent profile mutt self. Really all I want is a way to control the different sound levels like an adult who knows the difference between ringer and notification volumes.
I've tried multiple third party apps, they are all limited to the way sound are handled natively, and can't override the auto-silent mode setting. I need a root solution, like a modified settings app, but unfortunately no one makes those for odexed ROMs, and I'm in stock T-Mo US...

Quick settings in the store. Used it for ages. Works perfectly for that. Only thing is that ringer and notifications are still tied together. But that's ICS, so you don't really get a choice.

Yeah, noticed that. Was going someone fixed it like in AOKP. But it might not matter for long since I'm having AOKP withdrawals, so I'm probably going to flash it soon. I was trying to stay as close to stock as possible but there are just too many little things about sense that irritate me, and now this.

Why isn't this an option? I had to learn the hard way when I put my ringtone volume down and received a loud email notification in the middle of a meeting. What an absolutely ridiculous design by Samsung

Yup, this is a really dumb design. When we say MUTE, VIBRATE, etc, that's what we mean. Turn everything off. Everyone expects the media volume and notification volumes to be linked naturally. We don't think in 4 separate volume streams. No one does this. It makes no sense to anyone. This is a major usability issue. Sounds dumb until you have notifications going off all the time and you can't trust your phone to be silent when it says silent. I've never seen a phone do this before.
