Help with sounds - Captivate General

My bootup sounds start about 1 second after they should and I cannot adjust notification sound levels, plrawr don't tell me where to go to change notification volume I know that, the problem is my changes to it don't stay, the revert back as soon as I get any sort of notification. Please help this is driving me crazy... well the notification thing is, I couldn't care about bootup sounds but I tell you about them since both problems were present when I woke up this morning and weren't there last night.

Certain sounds dont work for notifications??

hey guys well i just got the fuze and i absolutely love the phone, but one thing im coming across is i set the notifications for my text messages
sound: Communique_Perfect Weapon
Flashing Light: No Limit
Vibrate: On
for some odd reason i would not get any notifications, only the ring would light up but no sound or vibrate, but when i soft reset it it would work only ONCE and then rest of the time the same ol thing, when i change the sound to Alarm4 or any other sounds that are from the WM6.1 itll notify me fully, can it be because of the sound file?? or is it something else? plz tell me if theres a fix for it, thnx
UPDATE: nvm i seem to find my way around it

Anyway to make the Notification sound louder?

I swear, I have the volume as high as can be, but because the Captivate's speaker is covered most of the time since it lays on top of its speaker, you can only hear a muffle sound most of the time.
The ringer may be maxes but make sure that the notification sound is also maxes, under sound and display go to ringer volume and drag the seccond slider to max. Sometimes it gets bumped down to a unreasonably low volume for whatever reason

Also make sure you turn system volume all the way up

Choose a current tone. It's just quiet. I downloaded a new one and can always hear it now

That is another thing, why does the Notification Volume randomly minimizes itself. What is causing this?
I'd like to know why the notification volume has a mind of its own as well. Seems like I have to turn it up everyday... Not sure if this is an android thing or a samsung thing... Anyone have any ideas?

Not sure if its related, but I had the same problem. My volume was too low and I had everything turned up. One day I was using Google Maps and tried to get directions. The phone asked me to install something for the turn by turn voice directions and immediately everything was louder.
This may be because I messed my phone up or something, but I notice this happening when I turn my volume down... like the notification volume doesn't go back up. so let's say you put your phone on vibrate, it turns down the notification volume too, but when you turn up the main volume the notification gets "stuck" at like 1.... I installed audiomanager and I no longer seem to have this problem.
Just try turning your volume up and down and check your notification volume.

[Q]Disabling fade-in ringtone?

Is there anyway to disable the the ringtone fade-in for this phone? It's the first phone I've ever had that does this and I personally prefer my ringtones to play at full volume whenever i receive a call...I tried playing with ringtone apps to add a few seconds of silence to the beginning of the ringtone, but it's just not the same. I've also tried the 'volume locker' app and it's not what I'm looking for. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
+ 10 for this, I hope there is a way?

ditto the +10 I too would like to know how to prevent the fade-in. I make my own ringtones, if I wanted it to fade-in or fade-out I would include that in the tone
Count me in, I was disappointed with the fade in...
hmm
just a thought check over in the optimus thread. since alot of the framework for their overlay is still there i wonder if it was an option in settings of their overlay but is just sitting in the framework with no way to modify it now.
i havent ported my number over yet from my verizon phone so im not sure i have gotten more than 1 call so i never noticed this.

[Q] New phone won't vibrate

I am new to Samsung, and new to this phone, so maybe I am missing something silly.
I can't get this thing to vibrate! I have tried all the vibration settings (always, only on silent, etc.) and I have my gmail and voice settings to always vibrate, but the dang thing won't vibrate. Even the little vibrate icon in the notification bar lights up, and it vibrates when you turn off/on and when you volume down to silent (just as confirmation of silent mode), so I feel confident it isn't a hardware issue.
I just got it Saturday, and I have been testing out different profile managers. I have them all deleted now, but could one of them set something to not vibrate? Even though I have it set to vibrate in stock settings? I can't remember if it vibrated before I started messing with those profile managers...
Should I just factory reset and start over?
Put it on vibrate. Then go to your sound settings and make the notification sound louder. Then try calling your phone to see if it worked.
Should of posted this in q&a btw.

Have you tried turning your vibration intensity up?

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the incorrect location.
OK, tried what you suggested. Looks like vibration works for phone calls but still no vibration for notifications.

Yes, vibration intensity is on max for all.
ETA: Ok, My wife has a brand new i777 that we got at the same time and I set up the same way. Her notifications weren't vibrating either, even though I had the settings set up that way. I checked the profile manager that was still on her phone (that I had had on my phone, but deleted) and vibration was unchecked. When I checked it, the phone vibrated as it should. Therefore, it looks like that app (Profile Scheduler) left something unchecked down inside the OS even though it is deleted and the stock OS says to vibrate.
I'm going to try to reinstall that app and check the settings and then uninstall again and see if that fixes it. Otherwise I'm going to have to factory reset.
ETA2: Ok. Looks like that fixed it! It changed my ringtone, but that is a simple fix. Much better than having to factory reset. Thanks everyone!

[q] volume mute bug

HI,
MY LG G2X has developed a new bug and not sure how to fix it. The volume goes mute often meaning, i am missing calls. not able to listen to ring tone. For example if someone is calling, if I hold on to my mobile, I can see the call on screen but without ring volume. Only after force restart the volume comes back but this happens many times in a day. I am missing calls often because of this bug. Someone having similar bug? any fix for this issue?
I have tried factory reset, but still not able to fix the bug. Any suggestion, appreciated..
Is it just ringing that gets muted or all audio?

Need more info. What ROM, baseband, kernel etc.
Edit: something very silly used to happen to me sometimes when the ringer would turn low or even off when phone was in my pocket because the vol- was being pressed accidentally... am sure yours isn't that but figured it won't hurt to mention.
