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.

For some reason, my keyboard and lock sounds have gotten so quiet that its pointless to even have it on. When I first enabled them, they were audible, now they're whisper quiet.
All of my volume settings (notification, ringer, alarm) are as high as they go. I can't find volume adjustments for the key clicks.
Anyone know what could be going on?
Thanks!
Figured it out. It's the system volume. Used Quick Settings to adjust it.

Hi, Does any one know how i can make my phone (G2x) just vibrate. I hate having when phone rings. I prefer vibration ONLY on all txt,voice message,incoming phone, notification and what not. The only time i want voice is when i am watching a movie or listening to music. I have looked through settings and tried all the settings....

I beg to differ.
Look under Settings > Sound. Make sure vibrate is set to either Always or Only in Silent Mode. Then select Volume and turn ringtone volume all the way down. Leave media and alarm volumes turned up. Voila!
Please help

I know that the sounds are located in system/media/audio....check that out see what you can do.

do you mean the same choices, or the same ringtone? You should be able to copy the ringtones from /system/media/audio/ringtones to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications (going from memory here), and I would think that would give you the sounds you are looking for. you will probably have to be rooted to make this work, unless you can find the ringtones in a zip on this forum (which you probably can).

Like the same volume, cause when I lower the incoming calls ringtone then the notification one is the same as it was before without changing

Not sure what you're saying, but you can change the volume in your sound settings. You can change the sound itself according to the above posts.

what he's saying is, that on most stock android phones, the notification volume follows the ringtone volume, so if you lower the ring tone, via the volume keys, it also lowers the notification volumes. The SGS4G doesn't do this. I would imagine that there is a 3rd part app that will handle it, but I am typically on vibrate, or full volume, so it doesn't matter enough to me to really research it.

If you install mysettings from market, you can do this. Open mysettings, long press ringer mode in upper left hand corner. This will give you your volume sliders. check the box that links ringer and notification volumes.
O my goodness you rock guys!!! Omg omg omg!! I love you all!!

I've been using an app to mute all the sounds on my phone (called Mute!), but it also blocks the vibration function. Does anyone have an app that will mute all system sounds (phone, notification, etc) and still allow vibration?
Press the volume down button till your phone vibrates. Works like a champ
Audio guru is pretty good.

That only mutes the ringer volume. I tried that when I first got my phone at the movie theater. I wasn't too happy when I kept getting text messages and didn't know how to turn off the notification sound.
I found Simple Sound Profile Widget. It lets you set up different sound profiles (like Normal, Meeting, Vibrate, Loud, or whatever) and then you can select one quickly from the home screen.
I'll check out Switcher Pro and Audio Guru as well.

Like Byrd said, no need to download an app. It already has the capability to mute all sounds for all notifications, but keep the vibrate on.
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.

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.
