I noticed a very annoying problem with this phone. When ever I set a tone for my messaging app the tone would play very loud and clear when I test it but when I actually get a text the volume drops by like 50%. I thought it was a problem with handcent but this happens when I use the default app too.

There is a separate notification volume in the sound menu. When testing, it uses your main volume and not the notification volume. Just go in and bump it up.
I did that before I put this post up still no dice

Yea it's a glitch on all Epic's. I actually called Samsung about this issue and they were clueless... Smh!

Does anyone else have the issue of twidroyd (and twidroid) pro playing the entire notification tone even after you select the icon and/or cleared it?
Will I just have to select a simple tone? I'm using ringo for the tone selection

I noticed this as well. At first I wasn't sure what it was. I would have my EVO in my pocket and all of a sudden music would start playing and I couldn't get it to stop without restarting my phone. Turns out Twidroyd had chosen one of my songs as its notification tone and every time I had a new mention, it would play the WHOLE song.
So on every android phone, in the sound settings for ringtone, you can set it so that your notification and ringtone volume is the same (by checking off a little box). I font see this option on the phone and so when I lower my volume it only lowers it for the ringtone, not emails and texts etc. this is ANNOYING. is they're not a setting for this or is it just me?

It's extremely annoying, and my biggest issue I've had with the phone so far. Followed closely by no notification LED. Hoping to see fixes for both soon.
Okay, here's how.
As usual, Settings > Sound and Display > Notification Ringtone. Now that you have the notification ringtone list open, just press the volume key to adjust.
That's how you manually adjust the notification ringtone, as always. What we're missing is the option always in every other Android OS that allows you to match your notification volume automatically to your ringtone volume, allowing you to adjust everything at once by the hard keys on the outside of the phone. Without that option you bump your ringtone way down, for example to go in a meeting, then one of your notifications goes off full blast.
Okay, I see now. I haven't had an android phone in a month so I'm a bit rusty. Well here's a fix to that then. I can't do anything about it in the settings itself, but go to the market and download "Quick Settings." Open the app and go into volume control. On the top there is a check box for "Use Ringer volume for Notifications." Now it'll work.
That sucks big ones. I'll have to use audio manager till that issue gets fixed. This is why I hate non-stock android phones because manufacturers like htc, motorola, and samsung think they thought of everything but they always end up messing something up

I agree, this is the most annoying thing about the vibrant. (luckily its an easy fix)
Thanks for the suggestion on the "Quick Settings" app
damn, whats up with samsung phones just straight up missing **** that's included in android? I was googling for a way to block calls when I saw that android should be able to take any contact and send their calls straight to voicemail.. NOPE, not on my epic.. now the notification/ringer volume link is missing too?! WTF?
I'm having a serious case of buyer's remorse right now.
I was on a call and I got a text message and the ringtone for it went off at full volume, anyone else getting this? I'm on Fresh's rom but have seen this on stock sprint 2.2. It's pretty annoying!!!!
The only thing I can think of is you probably got your notification vol for messaging on high. You may have it set to say, ring + vibrate.

even then i don't think it's supposed to play the actual ring tone when you're on call..it only got to me because it got me in trouble at 3 am haha
Is there a way I can have my notifications only vibrate in silent mode and not while I have ringer volume on? Just like how you can with the ring tone.

So you get no vibe for notifications in silent mode?
Change it in the messaging app.

Ok, maybe I worded my question wrong. As of right now, I have under the messaging settings to vibrate when notified. And in the general sound settings, I have vibrate only when in silent mode. Now, however, my messages still vibrate when not in silent mode along with playing the sound I have set for notifications where as my ring tone only vibrates while in silent mode and ONLY plays the ring tone when not in silent mode. How can I make it so my messages do not vibrate when not in silent mode and only vibrate when in silent mode.
You are going to have to toggle the messaging settings then. There is no one step solution for what you want. There used to be a vibrate option before silent but that is gone right now.

So there is no simple way to have the ringer and notification volume under the same setting so that they both only play the sound when not in silent mode and only vibrate when in silent mode? like a normal phone would?

Not anymore. Samsung thought it would be more versatile to have seperate settings Then they removed the vibe option just before silence and combined them. I believe there are third party apps that allow you to do a bunch of commands but I cannot remember what they are called. But no easy way other without another app.
Yup. Witnessed this earlier. I was sleeping and someone tore me out my zone when they called so I ignored it (on full volume) and they kept calling interrupting me so I held volume down to put it in silent mode so if they call back I can stay in lala land, but I didn't realize it was onvibate and I got another rude awakening. I then stood there continuously pressing vol up and down to get silent mode but it wasn't there (give me a break my cognitive functions suck when I'm torn out of my dreams lol)
I ended up picking up to get them to stop, but I should've been able to shut them up immediately
