Volume Problem - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Not sure if this is ROM related or not (running CleanROM 5.0) but weird problem I'm having and I can't figure it out and it just started happening out of nowhere. I can't put my phone's ringtone, notification, and system on silent and be able to adjust my media volume. When all the other volumes are off it like totally locks the media volume slider. I have alarm clock xtreme and I have the option in there checked off to ring even if phone is in silent mode but still nothing plays when the alarm goes off and I have the ringer on vibrate or silent. I never remember experiencing anything like that where silencing the ringer would silence media volume and lock the volume slider for it. When it locks it I can't increase the volume for media at all regardless what app I have open Spotify, Pandora, etc. Only thing I can do is put ringtone volume back on then reboot and then I can adjust media volume. Anyone have any ideas here it's driving me nuts? Thanks!

Ahh no idea anyone?! I still haven't figured it out and it's driving me nuts!!!

Im having the same issue with clean rom

Hd2 Volume Issue

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,

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 ?

[Q] no ring tone

I have tried searching, but my G2X will not ring. I can see the call coming in, but it does not ring. I have looked at all my settings and even changed some trying to get a sound. I am rooted running CM nightly. I have wiped, can hear music from music player, but no sound for ring. I feel it probably is something simple, but can not figure it out. And yes, I have checked the ringer volume.
Anyone with ideas would be greatly appreciated
Only thing i can tell you is to do a complete wipe and flash again.
Did you check the ringer volume? It has a separate volume slider than the other sounds. While the phone is ringing press the volume up key and see if that makes a difference. You can also see the ringtone volume slider in the sounds, or when you are choosing a ringtone the volume keys will adjust the ringer volume. Sounds like it got set to no volume by accident.
I did another wipe and it worked. I had checked the volume slider.
Thanks guys for the help
Glad to see it's working!!!

lol nice. Will keep this in mind next time i flash my phone.

Is there a way to turn off ALL SOUNDS quickly?

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

[Q] Rings once, then is silent

Searched here and on google and found nothing helpful to my particular problem. I am currently on a TeamEOS 4.4.4 ROM (7-11-14 nightly) and also had this problem on Cyanogen 10.2.1. I have my default ringtone set to silent because I work nights and get a lot of calls but there are very few people who I want to be able to wake me up, those people all have a ringtone set in the contacts section. None of them ring more than once. It's once, then silence, it doesn't go to voicemail after that - the rings on the caller's end are normal, and the phone continues to act like it is ringing with the little animation and it vibrates, it just doesn't make a noise. With the default ringtone set to a ring it rings as it should. What is the deal with this? Note: They aren't custom ringtones, they're stock with this ROM, custom ringtones that functioned as they should before I rooted function incorrectly now, so it is not the files themselves. Fresh install/reset does not help.
Are you having this issue on sense? Also, double check volume controls. They aren't consolidated so maybe the ringer specific control is off

It's with sense or whatever manages notifications in the ROM, I haven't used an addon app. I checked and it's certainly not the volume controls.
Well then try an RUU. I've never heard of anything like this
Ages later and with a newer ROM and it still does this. Nobody else has this problem?

Notification sounds volume gets very quiet in bluetooth headset, almost inaudible

I use a bluetooth headset almost all of the time. Sometimes, the volume of the notification sound gets very quiet. Inaudible, really, unless I turn up the headset volume and the ring and notification volume slider to the maximum volumes. Even at the maximum volume settings, I can barely hear the notification sounds. I am able to reproduce the problem by going into the settings and changing the default notification sounds. I can just keep selecting different sounds, listening to the previews and suddenly, the volume will go quiet.
I am totally stock, not unlocked or rooted in any way. It was happening on Android 11 and is still happening on Android 12. Can anyone help me fix this problem?
