since the volume slider when activated works on the device volume, not the ringer volume, I'd love to have icons in claunch that set the volume to some specific volume i.e. 20%. Is that possible?
If you have time, you can check and see if that's possible to do it in Mort script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289197&

Are there shortcuts to activate/deactivate silent mode and vibrate mode or is the menu or volume button the only way? Sometimes I want to increase the volume and switch on vibrate, which doesn't seem possible unless you go into the menu. Also is there a way to set it to one ring only, or beep mode?
You can install any of the "switch mode" widget that you can find in Market, but the fastest way to change suond profile is push the volume down button for more than 2 seconds, phone will put in silent mode, then push once volume up to set it to vibrate. Push volume up for more than 2 seconds to restore full ring
Yep, seems to be the fastest way to change the volume and set silent, a bit annoying that it beeps along the way but no big deal.
But, if you do that to set it on vibrate, it doesn't seem to work for text messages... those stay silent because they have a separate setting to vibrate. WHY?!?!!!
Always seemed like an easy thing on symbian & windows mobile, you hold one button or a couple of clicks later everything is set to vibrate, especially useful if outdoors and can't hear messages.
I just hold down the END key and select "Silent Mode". Is that not an option on your phone?
Check out egg 'n stones' "Profiles" application in the market. You can define and set profiles from the application plus you can create shortcuts to any profile. For every profile you can set the volume of the different types of sounds (alarms, notifications, media, speech, etc.) It's my favourite profile manager.
Cheers.
thanks, i'll check it out
Or just install these widgets from Jerpelea's rom page. You can find the widgets link on the palm pre theme rom, 2nd post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538633
There is a really nice 1 button widget that sits on your home screen and you can press it and it cycles between silet, vibrate and ring.
Just allow the phone to accept 'unkown sources' in the application menu. Then access the widgets from the sd card (save them there) and then you can install them.
I have got a wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, brightness & volume widget that all have little blue icons that match downloaded from the marketplace..
there from Rounded Labs.. All free as well
my phone started acting weird lately. I can switch to silent or vibrating mode with the volume button when I first turn on the phone, but after I make one phonecall it stops that function and starts working as a up-down button that can navigate within the menu items and such.
I have checked all of the settings options that might have an affect on this, but couldn't find anything yet.
Any suggestions as for how I can fix this?
Vibrate all??
My volume buttons controlled all the notifications and sounds on my previous Android phones. That is NOT the case on the Samsung Vibrant. It will only control the volume for the incoming call ringer. I would have to go to settings for every notification volume to lower them and set them to vibrate. The only option I've found is t set the volume all the way down to silent on the side of the phone which will silence everything. The problem is, there is ZERO notification whatsoever. No led, no sound, no vibrate.
Isn't there a way to have the volume control all the sounds and vibration mode on the phone as a global setting?
As the title says, is there a way to disable the ringtone volume control with hardware volume buttons ?
As i always accidentally push these buttons and lower my ringtone volume so that i cant hear it or the oposite.
I just want to adjust system volume with these buttons, and to adjust ringtone volume only in the sound settings on the phone.
Anyone who knows a tweak on this one ?
Thanks

Try AEB Plus. Works for me. Use link provided in previous post.

HTC volume control always irritated me because by default it controls ringer volume, not system volume.
And guess what ? There is simple registry entry for that !
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\DefaultPage
Change from 1 to 0. Softreset and you are good to go. I've just found it out, so stay if you can, you can help me testing possible conflicts with misc situations/applications.
PS. It looks on my screen like there is space in middle of 'defaultpage' .. it is not ! No idea why it looks like that. That values should be there, you don't create any new keys or something.
this do the same as turning off the single volume setting?
No .. you have two sliders. But if you press the volume keys, it controls system volume, not ringer volume (as it does without the tweak).
Thanks, what a helpful tweak, indeed!
great ! very helpful
Ok .. I think it works in every situation. Haven't found single problem during weekend.
Not sure if I get this...but if I turn off the single volume settings, my vol buttons only change the system volume by default, unless I click on the ringer tab.
Maybe they changed it ? Mine always moved ringer first. I have 1.43.479.2 ROM.
Is there a way for the volume keys to only control media volume instead of its default behavior which sets ringer volume?

When you're in a media app, the volume keys should control media volume.
Of course, I know that. But I want to control media volume at all times. There is no ringtone to adjust.
Is there an app I can use to remap the keys or something?
I would like this myself.

Keysmod will let you remap the volume keys but I'm not sure that will do what you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965023
You might want to check out Volume Control, which overlays a touch bar on your screen that can control media volume. There are several apps on Android Market called Volume Control; you want the one by BigRedPepper.

Doesn't look like it does, someone in the thread wants to do the same thing as I do.

Thanks, but that isn't something I'm interested in.
I'm interested in this as well.
thereddog, have you had any success remapping the volume keys to control media volume by default instead of ringer volume?
Stock unrooted MIUI 10.2.7.0. The ringer volume seems to be tied inseparably to the media volume. Changing them separately through settings or the quick menu when pressing the rocker does not work. They show as their respective settings, but ringer operates at whatever level the media is set to.
Am I missing something, or is this just a bug? Others have this issue?
