Hello,
Is there any way to either set the SMS notification volume explicitly or to make it behave like the phone volume?
As it is now it follows the device volume, which I most often turn off to stop getting annoying beeps and clicks.
Yours

andreakn - Did you ever get a fix for this? If so I would love to hear what it was.
I have exactly the same problem/annoyance.
I wondered why I kept missing texts, and it was because I had the volume turned right down. I only assumed it was controlled via the phone volume as that would be sensible but apparently not. Anyone know of a way to fix this?
Now I'm bumping this..
Ok, I really hate bumping this much but there must be an app of some description..
I'd be very interested in this too if anyone has a solution.
John
I use PocketZenPhone, and there you have to set device volume to at least 01 to get any SMS sound or Vibration. On that level though there aren't any beeps and clicks...
PZP uses the devices standard controls, so the conclusion is, SMS sound are dependent on the device volume, not the phone volume, but when you set it to the lowest level you can have at least vibration.

Hi all,
This is an issue which has been semi bugging me since getting my Touch HD a few months ago.
If I use Touchflo and go into settings for the ring volume, I put the slider right down to '2%'. When a call comes in, it's still very loud indeed.
I've tested so that if I put the volume up to say 80% and call in again, its VERY very loud!
I want it that I can leave my ringer on say 5% or 10% when I'm working so that I can hear the ring tone but not disturb other's who maybe close by.
Also, upon testing, if I change the ring tone type, then when it 'preview plays' the ringtone its nice and quiet, kind of at the level I'd like it to ring. However, when then selecting the ringtone and clicking done, I test with an incoming call and it's much louder.
Am I missing something here? I've never had this issue with any of my previous Xda's/HTC phones.
I had a look in search but nothing seems to show up like this from other posters - could my handset be faulty?
Or, do I need to buy some software which controls this better and offers more profiles than just the 4 standard ones?
Any ideas out there please?!
Cheers! Dennis, West London UK!
I think the volume setting goes by an incremental of 20%. Yeah, at the lowest 20%, it is still quite loud. The default Innovation ring is excessive loud. You can try another one which is not as disturbing at 20% setting
Hi there,
Thanks for the response!
Yes, I had the 'innovation' ringtone set and have now changed it to generic 3 which is 'better' !
Is there any software out there specifically for ringtone generation? maybe I could create ringtones and record them at a 'lower recording level' to acheive a 'low' sounding ringtone on the THD without this 'limitation' I pointed out/experience?
having done a search, I can't quite beleive I'm the only one who seems to have noticed this!
Might have to find those 'funny' ringtones - the Brad Pitt Snatch dialogue " why the **** would i wanna caravan with no ****ing wheels' being my favourite !
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!
Your not the only one who has this problem. There is a other thread about the music player and the volume there, but the whole TF3D volume is just way too high . Annoys me aswell
I couldn't find an answer to this 'problem' so maybe it's something specific for my phone, but I can't listen to my radio in 'vibrate' mode of the telephone. When I turn op the volume my phone automaticaly leaves silent mode, and that's very annoying. I can't find away to change this in the 'normal' audiosettings of the phone, so is it possible to change this, or is it only possible to listen to your radio when not in silence mode?

Errr.. yeah, of course! Can't you just set your ringtone to vibrate as well, and then you can turn the ringer right down, and leave the system volume high? (there's the setting to have single volume for ringer and system, or 1 volume for each).

Why not just put the phone into Airplane mode so any incoming calls go to voicemail.
You can either use tweak to have system and ringer volumes independent, or to disable HTC volume control altogether. I use it like this because standard WM volume controls use volume keys for controlling system volume rather then ringer volume, or combined volume.
The first tweak is in sticky tweaks thread, the other is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431588
I don't understand why this is so obvious.
But if it's not possible than the tip for putting my ringtone to vibrate should work, although it's a pity I would have to change this everytime I don't want to listen to my radio anymore.
And the Airplane mode is not an option, because I want to be able to send/receive sms for example, and when somebody calls me it's OK too.
For example, when I am in the train and I don't want to disturb other people, but I still want to listen to my radio, I would like to do this in Vibrate mode so no noices (sms, incomming calls, system alarms etc.) would make any noices

Thank you, this would be of good use! Because indeed, I want to use those two independent, and I find it very weird it's not something 'standard' on the phone. I will try to tweak, merci

It is standard. Go to the settings tab and select "Sound & Display". There's an option under "volume" where you set whether to use single volume, or ring/system volume (controlled seperately). Then, under "Ring and Notifications", set Ring Type to Vibrate and ring.
Then, when you want to drop the ringer volume, just go to change the volume with the buttons and you can toggle between system and ringer. Just set the ringer to nothing (not silent), and set the system to whatever you want for the radio. That way, the phone will only vibrate when you get a call, but you can still listen to the radio.
Hope this helps
This seem to work John, although I can't test at the moment if other sounds like sms and so will be there, but I am getting somewhere!
Thanks again

No problem mate. Glad to be of help
TMOUSA HD2, latest stock ROM.
I searched about this problem on the web with Google, and on this forum, and have not yet found a solution. I hope that someone reading can help me.
This has nothing to do with the system volume, nor the ringer volume, both of which I have set to max.
It only involves in-call volume, hearing the other party talking to you. I have this same problem whether the sound is coming directly from the handset pressed against my ear, or with a bluetooth headset.
Whenever I receive a call on the HD2, at first the sound of the other party's voice is WAY too low. I cannot understand anything they say, do not know who it is, in fact I barely hear anything. (That, despite, both the system and ringer volumes both set to max.)
Then, I press the volume up on the volume rocker several times, or the volume control on my bluetooth headset, and finally I can hear the person talking to me.
That is a hassle--that when someone calls, at first I barely hear anything, don't even know who it is, or what they said, until I press the volume up rocker several times.
It seems like, regardless of system and ringer volume settings, that with an incoming call, the volume is initially set at a VERY low level.
Is there a way that can be fixed--registry tweak, etc.?
I may have come across a fix for this, but am not sure.
I did a search for the word "Volume" in the registry.
One key and value I came across was the following key:
HKLM\Services\HTCAP\SmartHandsetVolumeControl\Handset
I took the value InCallVolume, and changed the dword data to the number which I think represents max volume: 4294967295.
I think that has helped with the problem of the initial call volume on receieved calls being too low. I'm not sure yet though, as I have not received many calls since.
I see many different volume control values in the SmartHandsetVolumeControl key and its subkeys, and cannot say I understand them.
Is there someone reading who really understands what these different registry volume settings mean?
Today I checked voice mail. Therefore a call I placed to voice mail, not an incoming call. I wasn't using a bluetooth headset, but had the phone directly to my ear. I heard the voice mail recording way too softly, could hardly make it out. I pressed the up volume rocker, and it didn't make any difference, I could barely make out the voice mail. (By the way, this was after I made the change mentioned above.)
I think the HD2 has a lot of strange quirks regarding volume, and I think these registry keys may hold the key for dealing with them. If anyone reading really understands the HD2's volume registry keys, please help us to understand them.
Thank you.
PS
I found the following page:
http://www.techparaiso.com/windows-...t-phone-volume-levels-on-windows-phone-device
which describes volume registry settings in \HKCU\Control Panel
It is really confusing, all the different volume settings in the HD2 registry, some generic to WM 6.5, and others specific to HTC and the HD2.
If someone really understands how all these volume settings interact, it would be great if a guide to them were posted!
Thanks in advance.
I couldn't get this to work. Does anyone know how to change the call volume via the registry? My phone crashed when I try to do it via the hard buttons on this ROM.
Does anyone know a way of muting the beep heard when pressing the volume change buttons on the phone? I'm talking about the beep heard when changing the ringer volume. I don't need to know how loud it will be if I can see the illustration on the screen telling me how loud it is.
I haven't found an app that can successfully mute only that sound.
Dunno, don't know any tweak to remove the beep but 3rd party apps such as widgetsoid etc can toggle the sound level without the beep.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Thanks but that program didn't solve the issue. My issue with the beep is the fact that I sometimes accidentally press the buttons when holding the phone and the beeps are rather loud and annoying after a while. The app you suggested did help me change other things around so it wasn't a total loss.
My search continues...
I used an app called Volume Ace from the Market and it controls every volume available in the phone. You can also make profiles on it...
Hi All!
I have heard about similar issues around, but now I have one, and the problem is that I run stock android 4.3 on my Nexus 4.
The issue is not always there. It happens occasionaly and then dissapears.
What exactly happens: sometimes I stop hearing sounds of notifications and ringing. Media and alarm are working at the same time.
When I try to change the volume in Sound-->Volumes I get the situation on the image in the attachment.
So whatever I do, I get "silent" ringtone. After clicking OK, and opening the Volumes once again, the ringer volume is set back to "silent"
I have also looked a bit into the adb console in my android studio and when having the issue I have a couple of lines, that don't appear when The issue is not present:
Code:
audio_hw_primary: out_set_parameters: exit: code(1)
Not sure if it helps but still.
Does anyone know what could be the cause? Where should I dig? Thanks!
The icon means your ringer has been muted. Have someone call you and then use the volume rocker to turn the volume up

Thanks for the answer, but I believe it's not what you say. I am able to talk using the phone with no problems, without even touching the volume rocker. So this is not muted. However, the situation on the picture results in muting the notification and ringing sound.
So I see it as a different problem.
I meant the icon means it's on silent

I understand. But the behavior should be as follows: I drag the volume level and the icon changes, right? This is not happening. However I drag the widget, the "muted" icon does not change.
But I will still try what you suggest, though I am sure it is not the source of the problem, as in your case it would not turn on and off by itself.
