Hello, I have an android phone with the volume and notification tones linked to the same volume. I know this is an ongoing issue with the new updates and that there are apps available that supposedly unlink the two. I want the notifications on full volume and the ringtone on about half volume.
is it possible to edit ringtones so they will only be half of the original volume and so tricking the new android update and kind of giving me a way of unlinking the tones?

Use an audio editor (mp3 editor) and increase or decrease the amplitude of your selected ringtones.
Save your ringtones for future use.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, fantastic info!

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?

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
I lower the volume from some apps like slacker so the music is just right while I have headphones on. Than when I stop listening and go out my text messages ringtone is just as low as when I was listening to slacker! I could barely hear the sms's coming in.
I had to raise the SYSTEM volume to get the ringtones high again. But than slacker is high as well? What on earth is this? I want a seperate volume option for ringtones and music, is there something, cab,hack??
I know SOME apps have a seperate slider volume built in which makes sense, but not all!
PLEASE HELP, what can I do?
+1 on this!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTCVOLUME]
"SimpleMode"=dword:00000000
for seperate system and ringer volume

surely, ring volume is for Ringtones and System volume is for all system related noises...INCLUDING system notifications such as incoming SMS messages?

Mine has that but thats what I'm talking about. once your in slacker and you lower the volume on it than exit you will now have your sms messages at LOW volume! Makes NO sense, I hate this.

No, RING is for your ringtone, SYSTEM is for EVERYTHING ELSE, its dumb.
Hi,
I bought a Sony Xperia J for my wife, all is fine, but it's pretty annoying to have no separate control
for the volume between call tone and message tone.
The ring tone is fine, but the message tone has the same volume and it's pretty loud.
Is there a way to separate the volume control for both somehow?
Thanks in advance

Go to settings/sound/ volumes there should be a checked box (link notifacation & ring tone) uncheck it.

Thanks for answering
If I do that, I have no longer control for the volume at all...
Maybe the android versions are different.
..just for info, the version of Android is 4.0.4..
The setings do not allow to separate the 2 volumes level.. that's a bad design.
apk?

Search for an app for...
Profile Management
Well, I tried 3 "apps to control volume", none of then worked, even if they had
1 option for ring tone, and 1 option for notifications/message".
It seems that Android, does not allow any app to separate the 2 sounds.
As soon as I changed the "notifications/message" volume, the ring tone for calls
changed too.
I will try "profile management" apps, but I doubt it will help.
The profile manager app did not help either.
Still ring tone and message tone at same level.. same for Gmail, FB and all other apps tone... for incoming messages
U need to use cm10 to tweak ur profile.

Hey all,
Just got the Pixel 2 and so far I'm smitten.
Question: how do I change the volume level for notifications? Can I set certain different volumes for individual apps' notifications? And change which sound plays? How about the volume level and tone for texts received from different individual contacts?
Thank you ?
The volume of ringtone and notification sound can not be adjusted seperatly. At itself not a problem except for the fact that notification volume is way higher then ringtone volume. If I set the volume lower then the ringtone cannot be heard anymore and the notification volume is still to high.
If I set the volume higher then the notification will become a disturbence.
I have tried some 3rd party apps to manage volume of ringtones and notifications seperatly. But those do not seem to be capable off manageing notification volume and ringtone volume seperatly either.
For now I have decided to turn off notification sounds because off the volume.
I have had an OP6 before the OP Nord. There the volume of ringtones and notifications could not be managed seperatly as well but at least the volume of both ringtone and notification was in sync (equal loudness).
Anyone else noticed this? Any ideas on how to get the notification volume in line?
Do you use own file for ringtone? You can edit it, increase volume, e.g. in Audacity on PC, so it will be louder than notification sounds, and then lower ringtone volume.

Yeah, it is not a OP ringtone.
Strange thing is I have been using this ringtone on my OP6 previously where I did not have this "volume" problem.
I will give Audacity a try.
Thx.
Hi try this app, This might work for you.
It will increase ringtone volume to 100% before receiving normal call.
P.S tested on galaxy devices.
