Every time I just to adjust my system sounds it pops up this weird long force close message. Then takes me back to the home screen. Already tried resetting is there maybe an app or widget that can adjust the system volume? System volume as in screen clicks etc. thanks.

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?
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.
Hello, I tried doing some searches for these, but could use a little help. I'm looking for a fix for my stock ROM to arrange my start menu icons to a rectangular grid instead of the default staggered layout. Sort of like the Android app launcher or iPhone layout. I know about c00kie's home tab, but I'm not interested in all the functionality it provides, just a regedit or cab I can install to rearrange my icons in start menu.
My second issue is with the Vibrate profile. Whenver I listen to music through my headphones while on vibrate mode, the system volume auto switches the vibrate mode off, which is fine. But when I disconnect my headphones, I would like for it to switch back to vibrate mode automatically because sometimes I forget. What makes it worse is that it defaults to silent mode after, so I can't hear if someone calls me. Is there a solution to this? Or maybe a cab that separates ring/system volume settings from media playback volume settings? I like how my old MyTouch can keep the vibrate profile the same even while listening to music.
google awesome start cab
that will arrange your icons in a list format
as for a profiler I rarely use them =/
Ok total newb question, however this is my first smart phone ever. How do you set the ringer to silent? The only way I can manage is to go into Sound and Display settings and lower the ringer volume all the way down. Is there a shortcut that I am missing or is this the only way to do it?
1 step up from all the way down with the volume control on the left side of the phone.

Just use the volume rocker on the left side of the phone. Pressing it down all the way to the second to last setting puts it into silent mode (the absolute lowest setting, oddly enough, is vibrate).
From what I remember seeing, there should also be market apps that will let you place a widget on one of your homescreens which allows you to quickly put your phone on silent.
Just hold the power button for two seconds
Then choose silent or vibrate
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
You can download the Profile widget from HTC that will allow you to switch between Normal, Vibrate, and Silent easily.
1) Long press on a home screen.
2) Select Widget, then Get more HTC widgets.
3) Download Profile widget.
4) Press back to return to the Add widget menu.
5) Select Settings, then Profile to add the widget to your home screen.
How do I remove the long press power button sounds while on lock screen?
When my lock screen is active and I long press my power button the phone plays the default notification sound. I have Xposed installed and maybe one of the tweaks has turned this notification sound on, not sure. Anyways, its annoying and I would like to disable.
Any ideas?

When I go into the system settings and pick sounds I see the standard notification sound. I do not see a place to turn off notification tones.
I do see how you can select a default notification sound and I can pick silent but its weird this seamed to just start happening.
I'm i missing something?

Its not the unlock sound. If I turn on the unlock sound it makes a little blip sound.
It's actually the default notification sound. And it only happens when I long press the power button when the lock screen is on.
If I long press the power button with the phone unlocked it doesn't make the sound. If I change the default notification sound to something else it plays that sound. So its definitely the default notification sound.
Sometimes I'm at a movie or in a work meeting and want to quickly mute the sounds on the phone. So I used to just long press on the lock screen. Now it plays the sound which is distracting to everyone around.
Any more ideas?
Here is another interesting thing.
If I go into gravity box and click power twaeks there is a disable power menu on locks option.
If I check that option the power menu does not appear like expected but the notification sound is still there when I long press the power button.

I was all ready to factory reset and noticed there is now a system reset option. So I performed a reset settings. Everything is now back to normal. And I did not have to load my apps again, very nice!

Yes all fixed, and it was very strange. I think it might have been xposed additions. I was playing with re mapping buttons and might have triggered an app with the long press on the lock screen.
