Notifcation volume and ringtone volume as onw - Galaxy S I9000 General

Notifcation volume and ringtone volume as one!!
Sorry to be unlcear and previous firmware but i can only say what i remember, I got a new SGS and the firmware was 2.2 JPO
in that i could tick a box and it would make the notification volume be the same as my ringtone volume, yet with the firmware i upgraded (2.2.1 I9000XXJPU) the box is not available, so if i use the volume buttons on the side it only controls the ringtone, so if i want to turn my email/text notification down i have to go into settings/sounds/volume then change from within, just it would be so much easier if when i used the volume kieys on the side, if it changed both volumes!!
any fixes/ideas??
also with this new firmware the volume seems more quite, previously it was VERY loud, any way to change that, i already have it on full, unless i am just getting old
Many thanks!

No Volume control after upgrade

I upgraded to dcd's 2.2.6 rom. and new radio. Now the only control of any volume I have is when I'm on the phone. I can't adjust the volume for anything else (alarms, rings...). When I attempt to change the volume whil the phone is ringing, it just stops the ring all together.
I searched and it brought up the list of changed items in the release of each ROM, with Volume tweak. What is the Volume Tweak? I searched through my phn and can't find a volume anywhere.
Any ideas?
Reinstalling ROM may fix this problem, sounds like there was something that went awry. I use Vol_WM6.exe on one of my hard buttons to open sound in any app, google it and download.

System and Ringer Volume issue

Hi,
I searched the forums and found few threads for this windows mobile issue but no solution or what so ever.
Issue is with Overall Volume settings and controls.
I was previously an IPhone owner and i just recently moved to this amazing phone, however i do miss my Iphone for its few simplicity and user friendly setting options.
When my iphone was use to be in idle situation (not silent) and i use the volume rockers it use to change the ringer lever but it didnt change the media playback volume or in call earpiece volume. And When i was in a call, using the volume rockers would make adjustments to just the earpiece volume without changing any other volume setting. And when playing media it will just change the volume level for the media. This is a very natural behavior as we all would expect from our device.
But with my HD2 it gets really confusing and annoying at the same time that i dont have indivisual level of volume setting for in call, ringtone, and media playback.
I understand that we have the option to seprate the system/ringer volume level but still it doesnt work at it should.
I want to keep my ringer type/level to be at vibrate most of the time and my system to be at full or wtv level based on my preference at that time. But i want my phone to vibrate for text messeges and emails or wtv alerts i turn on. Just like how it was with iphone, if my phone was on silent(and vibrate setting on) my ringer wudnt sound and neither wud my text msges wud sound but my phone wud vibrate on text messages when vibration was turned on.
But with this phone if my ringer is at 0% volumes and system is anything above 0% my text messages wud vibrate and sound. how ever my text message sound should be attached to the ringer volume level not the system level volume.
Scenarios:
1).
System/ringer level same == no.
ringer level = 0%
system level = 50%
sms notification = on
In this above scenario if i receive a call my phone shud only vibrate and not sound. if i receive a text message it shud only vibrate but not sound. and if i play media it shud be at 50% level and my call volume shud be at 50% aswel.
But right now if i get a phone call my phone wud not ring but it will vibrate.(which is good). If i get a text message it sounds and vibrate (not good). media is at 50% level (good) and my call level is good aswell.
i am looking for a solution that would give me 2 things. First thing is to allow me to choose if i want vibration at all or no. And secondly make my notification attached to ringer volume instead of system volume.
i am sure alot of ppl are looking for this solution and would agree that this phone lacks volume settings and options.
thanks

Volume controls
Same gripe here..
Unable to get unilateral volume control on this magnificent phone.
Sometimes, its as if the smarter the phone, the dumber the remedial tasks can be.
Its not the perfect fix, but this is what I have mine set for.
Under Audio and display settings:
PROFILE: is set for normal
VOLUME:
ringer volume at zero
system volume at 50%
RING AND NOTIFICATIONS:
Ring type: Vibrate only
Notification Sounds: OFF on all..
That way, sms and email only display the green light on ear bar, rather then the chimes..
and music volume is adjustable without triggering the volumes back on..
Hope that helps.
You can choose to set independent settings for system and ringer volume control or set them up to be the same with the vol rocker keys. It is available in the settings.

Initial sound bytes are STILL too quiet! Post your experience.

This bug has been around since the TP. No idea why it has migrated operating systems..
Anyhow, try this. Set your notification volume to max. Wait a few seconds, and go into your notification tones and play one. Immediately after it has finished, play it again. Notice the first time it played, the volume was substantially quieter. The second time it played, it actually used max volume as per your setting.
This greatly effects notifications with just a few bytes of sound and not an ongoing ringtone. An ongoing ringtone will begin quieter than full, and then pick up to full volume or whatever you have in your settings but the first few sound bytes will always be quiet.
If you have notifications set for text or email, you will never hear your notifications at full volume unless it`s an ongoing ringtone (and who the hell wants that!).
I cant believe this hasn't been addressed yet. I have already tested this with three stock DHDs (but none with any custom roms.)
After my meeting with the regional HTC rep this week I will load a custom ROM onto my DHD and test further.
Feel free to post your findings! Would like to know if this issue is present in custom roms as well.
EDIT: Initial problem (/w TP2) discovered here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/80017-speaker-volume-quiet-then-loud.html
I have just tried what your talking about.
but it doesnt seem to happen on my phone..
My phone was set to silent, then uped it to max,
went to my sound settings - notifications, selected the one i usually use,
sounded normal..
tapped it 4 more times.. no difference.
I think I know what you mean, at the home screen if you use the volume rockers and kee increasing, I can hear the volume getting louder as I press even when the volume on screen bar is at max.
I found that even at max it was still too quiet. I got my tones into SoundForge and increased the volume by like 50% and its nice and loud now

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's definitely something to consider.. good idea, I need to try that!... We're you able to do this with notification tones or just ring tones?
Just to note if you keep pressing the notifications you won't hear a difference, its the very FIRST sound that comes from the speaker will be quiet after a short rest of a few seconds.
Turn off the screen as well.. wait a couple of seconds, turn it back on, play a sound and then play it again and you'll notice that the second time it plays is a lot more audible (playing at max volume).
I just increased the volume on a ringtone(mp3) I want and put it on the sd card, and selected it as my ringtone. I did the same with a tone I wanted as my sms, but saved it in the notifications folder. I've only done it with my ringer and sms tone so far. Temporary fix but if I'm trimming my tones on my pc I can increase the volume as well, hopefully I don't have to keep doing it for long. I haven't tried the roms with volume fixes yet.
Using Revolution 4.0 and seems to be working fine.
Just wanted to post back. After rooting and roming the issue definitely has not ceased. I've learned to cope and will eventually make some tones that have amped volumes with some PC apps.
Still annoying though.. tested on 9 DHDs so far. Not one didnt have the issue. Ugh.

Facebook notifications volume tied in with ringer volume

For some reason, and I think it has been like this has been like this since I bought the G3 in September,
The facebook notification volume is not controlled by the notifications volume bar, but the ringer volume bar.
This is very annowing as I keep my ringer at a maximum volume and my notifications at medium volume, but the facebook notifications keep sounding really loud. Then I have to lower my ringer sound, but then my phone ringer is lower than I want as well.
Does anyone know of how I can get the facebook notification volume be controlled by the notifications navigation bar?
By the way, Im still using stock KitKat. Did not connect with the lollipop rom when it first came out.
Thanks,

(TMO - Perry) - Volume values switch to zero which require a reboot to fix - help

Android 7.1.1 - Kernal 3.18.31 - Build NCQS26.69-64-21
Not sure if anyone else has seen this issue, but it's very frustrating.
I'll start a phone call and all will be good, but after the call is finished, all volumes will be incorrect. I can move the sliders media volume, ringer and alarm to no effect.
What appears to happen is that all when a call is connected, all volume values, except for call volume, get flipped to zero, similar to setting do not disturb. However, when the call ends, these volumes do not revert to their original values and instead stay silent. The frustrating part is that the volume sliders and notification bar give no indication that the volume values are at 0. The volume sliders can be moved up and down, with no changes to the actual volumes.
The only way to fix the issue is to perform a reboot. When the phone starts the reboot cycle, for a split second, an icon will appear in the notification bar showing that yes, it's in silent mode. And when the phone is up again, it is indeed in silent mode, requiring me to manually move the volume sliders back to max.
So there's definitely some disconnect between the visualization of the volume levels and the actual volume levels, coupled with the inability to change the volume levels until a reboot is performed.
I've tried going in and removing all apps from having do not disturb access aside from the numerous do not disturb toggle apps and nothing seems to make any difference.
Aside from a factory restore, anyone have any ideas?
