Separate volume control ringtone and notification - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a bit anoid that in kitkat you cannot set / control the volume of the ringtone and notifications independently
On my old S3 I would use tasker to switch the notification sounds off at certain times but now this also mutes the ringtone
Does anybody know a way to split the ringtone and notification control??

You can't on stock... I learned the hard way. Now on a custom ROM and I can unlink them. Love it

Notification sounds don't shut off

Anyone else have this problem? Can't imagine I'm missing a setting.... Mute generally means mute.
According the this screen shot all sound should be off, correct. Dumb question but I want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Audio manager from the play store effectively shuts the sound off if anyone else has this problem.

Samsung wants me to send the phone in to fix this but I'm not sure being without a phone for a week or more is worth. Plus, I'm pretty sure if I install a custom ROM this problem will disappear. I'm frustrated, this is a stupid easy problem to fix (with an app) but a BRAND NEW phone should not have this problem to begin with. I wonder if I flashed the stock rom on top of the stock rom (lol) if that would work? Only one other person has this problem?
factory reset should fix your problem.

As a workaround you can choose "Silent" as your Notification sound.
If you only need this functionality at work for example look at Llama that will allow you to configure it very easy.

I've tried Llama before but really didn't look into it too far. Where I work is only about 3 miles from my house so I'm bouncing off the same tower in both places..... Did not work too well with Llama. Can someone check if there volume shows the same as mine when set on mute? The only thing muting is the ring tone. Just curious...

I see the same thing if I set the phone for Silent mode.
There's all different notification sound settings in this phone, I've noticed - my email accounts have their own notification settings per account, messaging has its setting, etc.
Maybe Silent mode primarily silences ringtones and doesn't prevent separate apps from making sounds? Which types of notifications continue to make sounds?
- ooofest
All of them. Anything not set to silent (email, text, messaging, etc) makes a audible notification when the phone is set on mute. Also, when my phone is set on vibrate I also have audible notifications.

From the User Manual, pg 124:
Use Silent modes to temporarily silence the sounds your
phone makes, except for media playback and alarms, or
replace them with vibration.

So, it doesn't seem to claim affecting your sounds beyond the ringer and maybe keypad noises or similar. Working as designed, it seems (not that I agree with their design, in this case).

To me that means it should silence notifications since it's not "media" or "alarm"? I'm just going to buy sound manager since it has more options anyway..... $2.99 to end my frustration with this

I would classify "alarm" as notifications, in trying to interpret their jargon for the context given.
Yeah, an app which can configure sounds across all your apps and settings seems best, here.

Appreciate you looking that up in the manual. I actually downloaded it after your post . I bought the app and set my work and mute profiles... Nice app. I know this is stupid thing to worry about but it gets frustrating when I get woke up or a notification goes off during a meeting. Silent on the sound manager app silences everything.

I know this is an old post but thanks for the tip. I was in class last night and someone was giving a speech and all of a sudden my phone starts whistling. I thought it was in mute, apparently the notifications were not. I'll give sound manager a try.
Actually I've had no problems since the jelly bean update.

Link notification and ringer

I've searched and tried several apps to link ringer and notification. I love TouchWiz, but this is the ONE thing that pushes me to a CM ROM. I don't want to have to open an app each time i want to change both options. I came from an Optimus V and a Thunderbolt after. Both were able to link Ringer/Notification volumes.
So, does anybody know if a "fix" has been round or at least a workaround?
Nobody even has a suggestion? i know somebody here has got to know something :fingers-crossed:

Apps allow linking the two but only if you change the volume from within the app. If you use the volume rocker the two stay unlinked. I'm looking for a way to permanently link the two to allow use of the volume rocker.

[APP] Samsung LED Controller - Tasker

Hey Guys,
I have just released an app on the Google Play store.
It is a plugin for tasker so you can control your notification led
Free - Ad Free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinyroar.galaxys3ledcontroller
(this plugin only works for touchwiz roms)
I don't understand... Taker can control the LED on the s3 without this. What is this for?

Don't worry man, I get what you're saying. If I wanted to turn off all led's based on location or a time of day then this plugin makes it possible through tasker. All ya gotta do is read people.
Perfect. Just what I was looking for.
I like this app but its only for settings. Is there an app that forces LED to light up/blink using tasker? anyone have any ideas?
I love this app, but I have one request. It would be great if there was an option for "no change" in addition to ON/OFF. There may be times when I want power saving mode on, but not change the LED settings, or vice versa. Just as an example.

Yeah its already in tasker.
Create a new task go to add>Alert>Notify LED. Add a title and whatever else you wish, the title is mandatory though, set the color and rate, and any actions on the notification if you wish. Press play and shut off the screen and it should be lit up and blinking (select 1 if you want it to be set on).
It seems though it doesnt play well with touchwiz.. The blue light always overrides at least for messaging. I wanted to make it blink faster, but I did not succeed in what I tried. No big deal though. THe only reason I wont disable the touchwiz is that it is used for other things than just messaging and I do not want to have a notification I missed because I just wanted a light to blink faster.
Remove the notification to make the light go away. This only works on screen off though.
Need any more help let me know I have been using tasker for over a year now and have much experience with many features of it. PM me if you need to.
Thank you for the reply. I figured it out a few days ago but still thank you. Tasker is an awesome app. You really can get the most out of your phone with it.

I can't get the Do Not Disturb to work as State on the S7. I use the %INTERRUPT variable but toggling DND does Nothing to the variable. Can you please help us set this up in Tasker?
Or does Tasker need updating?

Is there a way to link notification and ringtone volume?

It really bothers me when I think my phone is on vibrate and I get a text message and its on full blast. I know I could do this on my rezound. Does the ultra not have this ability?

I had this issue on my Razr M and had to use Tasker to fix it (some noted a reset fixed it for them), on my new Mini this bug is not present but the Volumes are still not linked.
I use Tasker to fix most of Androids shortcomings and bugs. For this one I have a Profile to check for Ringer Volume changes and as soon as there is a change it makes the Notifications the same level. You could also do some math to offset the volumes so for example it sets "Notification Volume=Ringer Volume - 1"
Simple volume in play store works great!

[APP] Volume BOOST LG G2 NO NEED ROOT

I really disliked the low volume of headset on lg g2 which was not loud enough and lack deep bass. I tried different volume MOD but none of them made any significant difference . Finally i found this app ..such big relief..it increased voulme almost double without any distortation and you can switch it on and off with simple widget.. its working great on cloudy stock kit kat 4.4.2..i purchased the paid one just to support developer but you can try free version 7 day trial and see it yourself difference it make

Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk 2
It does work!
Just download it for my LG G2 and it does increase the sounds volume. I didn't want to root the phone or anything as I only brought it this week and to void the warranty on the first week would just be awful!
Without the app, the sound is still very detailed and smooth sounding, but what it does lack is the power and scale of the iPad driver for example. For me, the iPad driver is the best, but the LG G2 is still very detailed. With this app, you get that touch of more power which means increased bass. There is a decrease in sound clarity when this app is in use, but this is not major and doesn't reach uncomfortable distortion levels.
Overall a great app which is free for the first 7 days but then payment is required. But confusingly, it says on the app store that the app costs £1.19 but you actually go on the app and click 'buy complete version' it gives you a link to the Play Store to buy this fish app that costs £2.59. Confusing?
But well done for finding this app for the people who don't want to void their warranty! Much appreciated! I tried around 10-20 apps this week to increase the volume but every single one did absolutely nothing, like LG had blocked anyone from changing the volumes :S

Nope it's not, disabling safety didn't change anything for me on cloudyflex 2.3. This app on the other hand... wow it really amazed me!!!
This app doesn't do anything. It makes treble high and distortion comes along the way. It just gives you false perception of loud music.
This thing comes with junk and was uninstalled right after trying it.
