Hello,
Is there anyway to make all the volumes move together at the same time? Its annoying me that when you use the volume up and down on the side of the phone it changes the ring tone only. Sometimes you want the text tone louder but its a lot off faff to go into the settings and change it for the one time you are in a noisy area and you want to hear it.
Thanks
Richard
You could always download an app like Quick Settings and link the ringer volume to the notification volumes so they move the same.
Additionally, Quick Settings is a sweet app and its free.
I am in the market right now!

Friends!
I always keem my system volume low but ring volume at 80%. But when I receive the SMS it Notificatio plays at system volume, not at ring volume. Now how can I recover SMS notification Volume at ringer volume.
Is it so that, SMS alert Volume is System based Volume, not Phone base Volume ?
Previously I was using Photo Contact Pro but I have removed that, after that this issue arise.
I have this problem too..i dont want my System Volume at 100%, but i want to hear my incoming SMS...
Any solutions? Its it possible to put SMS and Mail tones into the Ringtone category?

Any help on this would be useful; as stated, it seems that the sms alert is system volume rather than ring volume, is this correct?
Thanks.
I have to +1 this, on my touch hd same thing, it's just plain stupid that MS put the reminders, sms and stuff to system volume!!! I see no point in doiing so, nobody with a fix for that?
Anything on this?
A bit different, but: Is there a programm that forces SMS notifications to vibrate/ring more than one time?

look for pocketMax PhoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) and with this skin is looks great on today screen (http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=7145.0)
Not a real solution but a work around is you can increase the volume of the wav file you use for SMS notification.
Its very simple, copy the wav file to your XP desktop (not sure if vista is similar) and right cligh the file and choose record. Then from Effect choose "Increase Volume" and save file and copy back to your phone and use it as you SMS notification. If you need it to sound higher, click "Increase Volume" as many time as you want.
same problem here!
so far, i merged the system and ringer together and kip all of them at 100%, but i have to remember every time I'm listening to some music and decrees the volume to put the volume up again!
there must be a way ... please help
Hello All,
I always want vibration only on ring with no sound. When I set ring to vibrate, that also turns off the sound on the included media player which means no sound for hearing voice mails. To hear voice mail, I have to go to the volume control rocker on the left side of the device and turn up volume. Now I am out of vibrate mode for the ringer, which means I have remember to go back to set the rocker to vibrate. Yes, I have the phone set so that ring and system should be individually adjustable; it does not really work that way, but that isn't the point here.
The Point. Can anyone recommend a cab, registry tweak or adjustment so that my media player volume is disassociated with the media player volume? I would like to have volume for my media player while never having ringer volume.
Thank You,
Ndmand
settings/sound & display and turn single volume off. You will now have separate volumes for ringer and sytem.
it does not work. that was the point of my post
Not so.

Maybe Volumex?

I'm not sure (I'm currently back on my Blackstone), but couldn't you select a "ringtone type" at the sound settings? e.g. "ring"; "ring+vibrate"; "ring, then vibrate"; "vibrate only";... and just select the "vibrate only" option?
I have this options in my Blackstone, but I'm not 100% sure if it's still present in HD2...
Grtz,
Degake
Thank You, Coincidence
Thanks for your reply. I really do appreciate it. As fate would have it, I happened to have figured this out yesterday, and it is exactly how you say. The ring tone type is now set to "vibrate" and it seems that I can use the volume key for the more useful purpose of making sure I can hear voice and music. Thanks again for your help.

Try app fix of Miri:
Thanks, Problem Fixed
Thanks post&telecommunications and pckshd and degake:
Sorry, I missed a couple of your posts. I think my problem is fixed, but thanks for the cabs. I am new to Windows Mobile and am excited about the cabs yo posted. I may want to install them just to check them out. Again, thanks so much for your response and your obvious willingness to help others through this forum.

I am a little confused. Happy your request was answered. But maybe you can enlighten me to why the dual volume doesn't work. Or exactly why it didn't work for you. On my T9193 I set it to have dual volume. I keep the ringer volume on vibrate and the system volume turned up. Nothing else is affected by having the ringer volume on vibrate. Texts, emails, all notification sounds come through perfectly except for phone ringer. Did I miss something?
is it normal that if I set ringtone to "vibrate" from settings tab-phone settings I have sound on other apps (e.g. music player) but if I set ring to vibrate using volume button (double volume on) all device get silent ?
I don't see why there needs me to so many choices when it comes to sounds. There's
Incoming call volume
Media volume
System volume
Notification volume
Is there a way to set the sound option to actually turn off/on ALL the sounds? Or at least group the Incoming call volume, system volume, and notification volumes together? For some reason, even my notification volume goes way down if I try to turn the ringtone volume down through the rocker yet it won't go back up unless I manually do it from the settings. It's a little annoying, this is the one thing from Apple that Android would copy. Running Infused v2.2.3 by the way.
Have you tried the sound button in your notification bar?
That turns off everything with 1 button.
Kinda obvious lol
Edit: it turns off all sounds except media volume.

Thanks captain obvious but I would like it to turn off sounds from apps too. It's annoying to have to always put the mute on in games.
There's also the problem of sounds from notifications changing too. I want those to always be synonymous with my incoming call volume.
There are plenty of apps that can lock volumes togheter. Search for sound in market. Dont remember any names

I like Simple Sound because you can place a quick toggle Widget on your home screen...
If you're feeling fancy, you can use Llama and it will do location based toggling
Is it possible to have different volume settings for different notifications? I'm coming from a BlackBerry Bold, and I was able to set specific ring tone AND volume for each app that I used.
I've only found one notification volume setting in Sounds and Notifications, but when I turn this all the way down, I don't hear text messages coming in either.
I do know how to change notification sounds for each app...this I can do, but not separate volume settings.
I'd like to have a different volume setting for incoming Skype messages, a different volume setting for an active Words with Friends game, a different volume setting for text messages, bla, bla, bla! I was able to do this in my BB for each app, and am hoping this is possible in the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide!
If not, is there an app that does this?
I'd also like to be able to shut off all notifications when I go to bed, but leave the volume a little higher for incoming phone calls and texts (kids, just in case...), but I don't want to hear any of my game notifications going off all night!
I'm absolutely loving my new toy, even coming from a BB!
thanks so much!!!
I have the T-mobile S7.
Ever since I got my S7 when I have my phone on silent or vibrate, when an email comes in with my Gmail the notification sound plays. I have work email on my phone, but those new emails don't play through when on silent. Some other notifications also play through. I think from Google Hangouts and TXT messages. And I think Visual Voicemail notifications.
I can't seem to find anyone talking about this in my research. I have had several OTA updates from T-mobile and the issue is still there. I can't seem to figure out why some things have notifications that sound when the phone is in silent and vibrate mode. I have never had a phone do this before.
UPDATE: 2016.04.10
I still have the issue. I attached a screenshot of what is going on. The Media volume slider is not muting when I switch to Vibrate or Silent modes. The phone has had several OTA updates since I bought it and this still doesn't get fixed. I have the Moto G 3rd gen with Marshmallow as well and it doesn't have this issue. never had a phone with this issue. I am getting really tired of the work around, which is to manually mute and unmute the Media volume which takes several steps each.
I have two S7's and both have this issue.
Also, please don't suggestion the Do Not Disturb feature. Unless there is a way to have a simple toggle on and off of that feature with a pre-set of Total Silence, that solution does not help. So insane that silent mode is NOT silent!
Looks like I can toggle the DND shortcut and have moved it near the Mute/Sound/Vibrate button. Set DND to Total Silence. But still researching to see if the settings I use in the toggle affect the scheduled DND settings. As I only want Total Silence with the toggle, but at night I want my custom DND settings via the Scheduled DND.
Use macrodroid, e-robot or any other tasker-like app.
For MacroDroid, this particular macro does NOT require root:
1) Trigger volume button down, continue
2) Action Set music volume to media slider value 0
3) Constraint ringer volume is silent or vibrating
The above works ONLY when you use the volume down button. When the ringer volume reaches 0, it will also zero the media volume. It won't work if you use the Sound mode to change the ringer to silent or vibrate. You can program another macro to do the un-mute as well.
There are also other ways, such as through macro that is triggered by screen off, and change the media volume to 0 using the constraint of ringer volume being 0. This will work with Sound mode or DND, just not not immediately but when the screen turns off.
Sorry, I am looking for a stock method to this issue. Otherwise I think the general forum area would be a better place for me to ask about 3rd party apps. Right now I am still testing the DND options now that I see that I can toggle DND from the pulldown without having to choose DND options each time.
Darn it! DND is useless for this issue. If I leave the Sound toggle alone and on Sound, the DND does not affect things like unlock sound, key sounds, etc. etc. Silences calls and alarms, but the "total silence" option is NOT total silence. So I am still looking for a stock way to toggle mute and unmute of the entire sound system.
I just purchased a Note S8 and I'm having the same problem. There needs to be a simple and instant mute button so that if you need to mute in a hurry you can. If I am not overlooking it, it's ridiculous that they don't have them on these phones. I am used to using a Motorola and they always have had an easy way to quickly turn the sound off of my phone. The only way with this one is to hold down on the volume button and with a case it makes it even more difficult. I guess I'll just sit on it. $1000. Right.

Yeah, it's crazy. I now have 7.0.1 on my S7 and still no quick mute toggle with stock Android. And all my previous Android phones had a mute function that muted everything. Holding the volume button down does not mute all sounds. You have to press up or down, then mute the first slider which mutes all but Media, and then mute the media slider. THEN it's full silent. But I don't understand why it doesn't mute ALL sliders with 1 toggle via stock like it did on other phones.
the issue is still there on Galaxy S9....so freakin annoying
@sdho , yeah, it's insane! Android Oreo 8.x and we still don't have the simple mute function we had with much older versions of Android! By default muting should mute the Media slider too! If people want to only mute other sliders, THAT is what should then require the 2nd shade expansion to pick individual sliders. But 1 touch mute and vol down all the way, should mute ALL sliders by default.
I don't understand the programming decision to make the default the way it is!
PS: I now have the S9 Plus since launch.
Solved!
Just downloaded "Media Mute". Solved everything right away.
Thanks Choobaka, I now have Android Oreo 8.x with the Galaxy S9 Plus and still no improvement to stock 1 -swipe and touch mute. But thanks to your suggestion, while this can't be solved stock. At least it can now be solved without root and without any odd permissions. Thanks a ton. Trying it out now. So far it looks like that will do the trick for me.
