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.

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.

Hello,
I have a simple yet annoying issue. Every time I get a text message or email the media volume lowers a bit, like one notch. I checked in the volume setting, and all sounds settings on the phone. It happens whether I'm using XM app, tune in radio, etc, so it's not a setting in those apps, and it does it with both gmail and texts.
Not really sure what to check next. I thought maybe it was Tasker, but I disabled it and same thing. It's just annoying to have to constantly turn up the music volume after a message comes in. Any help is appreciated!
Running stock Bell Android, no custom roms or anything like that. I just did S-off, root, but that is all I'm doing, and the problem existed prior to doing this.
Try going to settings> sound> quite ring on pick up and uncheck it.

Hi All,
I haven't been able to find a way to unlink the notification volume and the ringer volume in stock-ish ICS (I generally don't stray from pete's ROMS). In GB it was easy, cause they had separate volume sliders. I'd prefer to have my ringer go off much louder than my notifications so that I hear it, but still get faint little audible notifications when I get an email or text or whatever.
Do other ROM's have this functionality? Is there a simple workaround? Or is this something that would require a mod?

Yeah this annoyed the heck out of me also, for some reason they removed this functionality from ICS ... I have no idea why.
It annoyed me so much I wrote an app to work around it ... I just released it on the market mere hours ago!
Check it out, works a treat -

Much more development and features coming to make it easier and better to use.
My question -- Open Kang Milestone 3 now has the ability to unlink notifications, but I like to play with other ROMs. (I love Gummy and always come back to it.) Is there any way to extract that ability and present it as a standalone fix? Or will devs start including that as standard in their roms now?
BTW, I've downloaded Sloppy's app and it works great, lets me keep my ringer on at night but turn off all other notifications. Also, he's very responsive to inquiries. The paid app is worth it.

There are people complaining all over the internet about this, but only 255 people starred the issue in google code.
Come on, star the issue and "push" google to fix this.

or
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23202
Yeah this is annoying and totally non sense. I hope they find a way to restore it without having to wait for all rom devs to implement it or having to download a (paid) app that consume memory (even if very little)
Peter Alfonso has this implemented in his roms now, so I'm all good. I switched to cyanogen before Pete had baked it into his ROM, but I had the same experience I always do with cyanogen. Smooth at first, but then deteriorates to laggy, slow and unusable in a couple weeks without a fresh flash. I starred the issue on Google anyway though...it's pretty whack.

Wonder app...and it works on ICS. I can now have my ringer volume on high and the text and email volume to silent. COOL.
"ICS Enhanced Ringer Control" get it on the silly named "Play Store"
I'm using RezRom and it works! Yea
Try Audio Control, it's by far the best volume management app in the Google Play store. There is both a notification and ringer volume for ICS or Jelly Bean.
Really helpful developer too.

Hello, I just picked an HTC One X on at&t and I can't figure out how to disable a ringtone. I still want to be able to hear notification sounds for sms. etc, but prefer not to have a ringtone sound. I realize I can use vibrate and silence mode, but that doesn't really solve the problem completely.
In CM7 on my old phone there was an option to set the ringtone to none in the list, but I don't see such option on the HOX.
Would I have to resort to importing in a blank.ogg ringtone and setting it to that or is there a better way to do it?
I searched through the forum here and saw someone mention an app that allows you to control ringtone volume separate from notification volume, but someone said it didn't work. I'll try to find the app and try that in the mean time.
My phone came with 2.20 firmware unfortunately. If it didn't, I would have rooted, unlocked, and flashed CM10 by now.
Any insight/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Create a silent MP3 file, put in the ringtones folder, select it as your ringtone. Job done.

Is there a ringtone named silent on your phone? I've been through so many ROMS I can't say for sure if its in stock but it is in every ROM I can remember. It's usually the first ringtone.

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:

Would anyone be interested in a widget for this? I could get right onto developing it if there's a demand for it.
