Volume slider to change the Ringtone volume???

Hi! Does anybody know how to use the volume slider to change the volume of the ringtone and not the volume of the pda?
Ciao

Oh yes, I am concerning in this question too!!! I want to change ring volume without touching screen. We are changing ring volume more often, then system volume... Maybe some reg. tweak??? Anybody knows?

Yeah....
Hiya...
I've posted about this issue quite some time ago and I would also like to know if there is any hack for this
Thanks in advance

Looks like it is actual problem! Hey people! C'mon, help needed here!!!

I want to do that too

In my Herald/Wing, and my friend's Wizard/MDA, we can just move the slider down ONCE (to just ACTIVATE it) then press on the left key on the directional pad and keep pressing down to affect the Ringtone volume only.

Tytyn/8525 Volume keys?

What happened to dedicated volume keys like on the 8125?
How am I supposed to adjust the volume quickly? the scroll wheel?

Try tapping on the sound icon at the top of the screen. That should bring up a pop-up that has volume sliders in it.

Yup, but I wanted some real keys to press like there should be on every phone.

i too am looking for a way to do this as well...

The scroll wheel will adjust the volume while on a call. When not on a call, it will just scroll through whichever app you're using at that moment.
Edit: If you get those tones when using it, like us TyTN users did, there is a registry edit to eliminate that. Follow this link, about 2/3 down the page.

You can try a 3rd-party app like Pocket Plus for a soft solution...

You could downgrade to a Wizard/8125/etc. but that would suck.

HTC Volume control tweak (new?)

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.

[Q] -- Lower Keyboard Volume ????

Hey guys,
I would like to have typing sound effects but at a lower volume. The only way to do this is by lowering the volume from the side button, but this affects the whole phone and I have to change it every time I send a message.
Is there a way I can let the keyboard volume to be low by default ?
Thanks.

Doesnt anyone else want to know that as well ?

not sure if this is what you mean:
settings > menu > all settings > sounds and notifications
you can choose between soft and loud for screen tabs.. default is loud..
just tested but it's not what you mean sorry...
you can set the ring and system volume seperatly then at least your ringtone will stay the same.. but an inconvient thing is it always adjust the ringtone by default so it takes an extra tap to adjust the sytem volume..

Yeah its for screen taps and not the keyboard
Thanks for replying anyway !!

Anyone please ?

As far as I'm aware, there's no way to do this. You can either have the tapping sounds on or off but not on but quiet.
The closest I can think of would be to turn off single volume (Settings>Sound & Display>Single Volume) and then turn your system sound down but this will obviously affect more than just the keyboard tapping sound.

Aw thats unfortunate, one make like to adjust the keyboard tapping volume
Well anyway thanks for replying

mine is set to vibrate (apparenlty by default).. probably drains some battery power but maybe a good substitute for the keyboard sounds? anyway I like it..
or maybe you can find the soundfile for the keyboard in de windows folder (if it is a file) and replace it with a less volume recorded one (or edit it in a sound editor)

I found this a couple of days ago. Probably the SINGLE MOST USEFUL mod to the factory default Sense there is. With dual-volume control, it defaults to System first instead of Ring Volume.

But then again, lowering the System Volume also lowers music / movie / program volume so maybe its a short-term alternative.

HTC HD2 ring volume rocker buttons

Hi,
Really enjoying the HTC HD2 - awesome phone and with the tweaks and tips from xda-developers it just gets better!
But one thing that's annoying me is the volume rocker is really easy to accidently press and I've lost count of the number times I've accidently set the ringer volume to low or to mute so have missed calls!!
Has anyone got any ideas how to either disable the ring volume from being adjusted from the rocker on the side of the phone so just the system volume is adjusted or default it to the "System" volume instead of "Ring"? I've looked throught the registry and can't find anything obvious.
I've tried doing a search for this but can't find anything, so apologies if this has already been answered on another thread....
Cheers.

i wish i know how to disable it too. kidda annoying missing call

I have the sound set to automatic, which mutes the phone while I'm on something in my calendar (meeting etc..) and I tend to hit those volume buttons and change it so it all of a sudden rings during a lesson at the university etc. Really annoying.

For changing System Volume to default:
HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay --> Set "Default Page" to 0
Now when you hit the rockers the system volume will be changed at first
