Recently installed the InsertCoid ICS 4.6.1, and I can't seem to find a way of setting notifications to be silent. I have done a bit of googling, and most people seem to be saying that in ICS you have the option of selecting 'Silent' in the default notification sound setting, but its not there... Is this something missing from the ROM, or am I being an idiot?
In Settings > Sound, is the option there?
Hmmm

'Ringtone & Notifications' are grouped together as 1 volume. Does that mean you have to have the whole phone on silent, to stop notification sounds?

In the same boat
I'm actually looking for a solution to this as well, also on InsertCoin rom.
I'm recieving a ton of emails during the day and need to keep the notification volume down because I sit next to my boss but as a father of 2, I need to be able to hear the ringer when the phone rings. Having notification and ringer volumes paired is a huge pain. Anyone find a solution to this? Is this an "ICS" thing?
Thanks,
I have the same problem as well. :-(

Im running the ICS leak. Is there a way to disable the ascending ringtone? I dont like it and it doesn't even seem to work properly anyway. It rings quietly for like 1/2 a second and then jumps to full volume. Not a huge deal, but its kind of annoying.

I'm wondering if they did this on purpose so you could have a couple seconds to disable the sound if you were in a meeting or something and you forgot to put it on silent
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.
My phone is acting strange, or it's that damn "HTC Sense" screwing with stuff again. Stock Europe ICS 3.33 with custom rom.
When people call me, sometime it uses the ringtone I choose. Sometimes it uses some another ringtone. I can't figure out what is going on. Is it supposed to do this? It's really freaking annoying because now when I hear a phone ring I have to check if it is my phone because I don't know what ringtone it will use next. I missed two phone calls because I didn't know it was my phone ringing.
It is possible to set a global ringtone, and also specific for certain contacts.
When a contact is opened, in the 'options' sexton, there's a Ringtone combo box, where a custom tone can be set.
See the last person who called you with 5he nondefault tone, perhaps it has a custom one set.

I didn't know how to change the ringtone for contacts, let alone want to. So if a contact's ringtone was changed, it wasn't me who did it. But I checked, and they are all set to default. But sometimes, not always, the system uses a different ringtone for whatever reason.

I know exactly what you mean...happened to me a couple times when I started using ics..bt I went and re-chose my desired ringtones and it never happened again..it was so weird and no way for me to explain it

Your ringtones aren't on your sd card are they? If so it could be a sign of a failing sd card.

Thanks, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one it happened to.
I have tried to search for this but haven't really found any solution. On my previous android phones when I go into work or somewhere that I want my phone on vibrate I would just simply hold the Vol Down key until it goes to Vibrate and everything would be silenced (ringtones, notification tones, etc.) but when I got phone calls, text, etc it would vibrate.
For some reason on this phone when I do this it doesn't control the individual "Notification" volume, so I have go in and manually control that myself. I guess for some people this might be useful to manually control them individually but to just quickly silence the normal things like ringtones & notifications. For me personally it's quite annoying to have to deal with them on an individual basis.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out on this!
I'm also curious about this. I do the same thing. I put my phone on vibrate when I get to work which silences the ringer but if I do something else (I often play ads in Viggle for bonus points) that volume is untouched and must be silenced on its own...
I'm using CM10 currently. Not sure if this differs between roms.

Is there a settings / sound / volumes / link ringtone and notifications check box?
I haven't had either issue. If mine is on vibrate that's all it does, if silenced it's all silenced. Hmm.
Have you guys tried using a widget or the notification toggle?

Thanks Romman0! That option is not available, but just your keyword of "link" enabled me to find an app that does exactly what I needed! :good:
