Play music on earphones while phone on vibrate?

I keep my phone always in vibrate (i like it this way) but everytime I use AudioManager to play music I need to turn the volume up in the system for music to be played through the earphones and then turn it back to vibrate when I finish.
In all the devices I have used before (Symbian, iPhone, simple phones, etc) playing music over the earphones always worked in silent/vibrate mode but in the HTC Touch 3G the speaker/earphone volume seems to be linked to the same control. Is this at all possible? maybe with a reg change?

you should be posting questions in "questions and answers" thread
please take care
for your question keep ring volume zero and system volume full
and set your ring style to "vibrate and ring"

thanks for your suggestion but it does not seem to work fully - I did what you said but when I receive text messages or the battery is low the phone still plays these tones in loud mode, i.e. the phone is not silent. I would like to have the phone fully silent and still play music through the earphones (just like every other phone does; symbian, iphone, crappy phones, all phones)

If you make a ".MP3" or ".wav" with nothing (no sound) in it.... you're phone should play the sound (nothing!) and vibrate.... and lateron music starts playing again at normal volume.... not so ?

that would probably do it - it just seems like such an effort to do something which is so obvious and all other phones can do

There is an App by merlot called mPlug, it might fit your needs http://dev.etechniker.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=83

Try changing all of your notification options (in the Sounds & Notifications page) to vibrate only.

X10 Ringer volume

So we have root!
Somebody known app or tweak to increase the ringer volume?
Thx

I have no idea!
The volume of the ringer in my X10i is also too bad.
sometime I can't hear what the people said.
I also want to know how to change it.

So no one found a way to increase the ringer volume? I feel sometimes that I am going deaf. I may have to change my ringtone, but this is really annoying missing calls while you are driving.

Ringer as well as incall volume is too low in the X10.

true, but at least I can illuminate the in call volume issue with using bluetooth headset but the ringer...
This is weird that there is no hack for it.

Just use a decent ringtone, I've not found the volume to be a problem.

hey guys
i know theres not a hack for the volume ringer, but what i did was i use a program which can edit music files on my PC, and i just increase the actual volume of the file itself. then i transfer it to my phone and it plays a lot louder on the speaker. hopefully that can work for some of u
the program i use is called 'cool edit pro' however im sure theres a couple of programs which can do the same thing.
the effect is called 'increase amplitude', i usually use a scientific filter to decrease the amount of base in a song (which hte x10's speakerphone distorts anyways) and then increase the amplitude by about 10dB's. makes it a lot louder on the actual phone vs just putting the original mp3 in.

Ringtone is decent, volume sucks.
Thanks for your solution but that wasn't what I was looking for. I want to explode my speaker and I am looking for a hack.
Cheers,

search google for editing audiopara.csv, not sure how to do it myself as I find the volume to be mostly fine, but that is the key to changing it
just lookied at my /system dump, it's actualy audiofilter.csv on x10, and it's in system/etc

I had this problem once but I soon found out it was something to do with the ROM I was on. What ROM are you on? Does it happen with the stock ringtones too? One thing that it could potentially be is that the MP3 file you're using is recorded below normal volume. You could use a third party software to boost the normal volume level to say +3 db to compensate for the low level.
BTW, this should have been posted in Q and A. I can see that you're new here but just so you know for future references.

yes it happen with the stock ringtone too ;/ So tell me how i can boost the volume ?

any way to turn the in call volume up?

My only gripe is the in call volume is way too low.

Have you checked the Hearing aid compatibility under your settings. On my vibrant, HAC mode made it really loud.

I've searched, I've read threads, I still havent found a good solution to this. I have the in call volume turned all the way up just to have it at a "normal" volume level, but then when I get one of those people with a quiet phone, I have no more adjustment to turn it up louder.
Why is it so hard to build a phone where the LOW volume is at a "normal" level so you can use the HIGH level for certain times you have a quiet call or are in a loud environment (like a shop where I work)?
I have Volume+ on my phone, but it doesnt do anything for the in-call volume. Also, when I go into settings/call there is NO OPTION for hearing aid whatever on any of the ROMs I've been running.
Does anyone know what file it is in the ROM which dictates the volume? Or is it in the kernel? Anything that could help? This is severely aggravating...

Anyone?

.. volume plus does not increase in-call volume, as the man says:
" Hi
I'm currently attempting to raise/improve the call volume but have so far been unsuccessful (when a call is active, the phone takes over all audio control, which i'm trying to get back, but I don't know if it's even possible).
For news and updates please see my website "

Hmmm...I was sure Volume+ also worked for in call volume...guess not

Yup. It works for my headphones and external speaker, but not the in call speaker.

Lollipop - Alarm clock volume changes if headphones are connected.

I sadly realized ,being late at work, that alarm clock volume changes if you have headphone connected and you are listening to whatever media.
I usually fall asleep with my headphones on listening on something at the lowest volume.This morning I couldn't hear the alarm clock because its volume had followed the headphones' one becoming very low.
I made some test and found out that during media playback the media volume afflicts the alarm clock one, so that if you are listening at high volume you are definitely going to hear the alam.
Obviously I am talking about the speaker volume. The alarm clock is also playing through the headphones but it is easy to lose these during a night sleep.
Anyone experienced this too?
Any suggestion?
Thanks.
P.S. I'm currently running rastapop!
I didn't have this problem with other lollipop roms but it could also have been unlucky today not to hear the alarm clock ringing being the volume affected the same way with other lollipop rom

Get I can't wake up from playstore - It has an option to override the volume change.

I supposed someone tried to sue some phone manufacturer/google cause his alarm went off at full volume during sleep and he suffered "hearing damage" . I find it useless too but meh , at least we can bypass it with any app that overrides volume.
