Volume of SMS doesn't follow "phone volume"

Hello,
Is there any way to either set the SMS notification volume explicitly or to make it behave like the phone volume?
As it is now it follows the device volume, which I most often turn off to stop getting annoying beeps and clicks.

andreakn - Did you ever get a fix for this? If so I would love to hear what it was.

I have exactly the same problem/annoyance.
I wondered why I kept missing texts, and it was because I had the volume turned right down. I only assumed it was controlled via the phone volume as that would be sensible but apparently not. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

Now I'm bumping this..

Ok, I really hate bumping this much but there must be an app of some description..

I'd be very interested in this too if anyone has a solution.

I use PocketZenPhone, and there you have to set device volume to at least 01 to get any SMS sound or Vibration. On that level though there aren't any beeps and clicks...
PZP uses the devices standard controls, so the conclusion is, SMS sound are dependent on the device volume, not the phone volume, but when you set it to the lowest level you can have at least vibration.

[software request] is there a software that can adjust in-call volume?

i use O2 xda flame
i wanna it automaticly adjust the in-call volume to the top when i inputed a number and pressed the "talk"button,Or when a incoming call comes and i pressed the "answer" .
the reason why i need it:my flame(perhapt also yours)'s volume in call is always too small(not at the top) even your vomlue bar is at top.and which is more seriosly,sometimes a call comes,you pressed the answer,and you may hear nothing(but he/she can hear you w/o problem).
the two problem above can be solved by pressing the volume+ key during the call,and as soon as you pressed it,you can hear him/her in highest volume,but....
sounds it's easy,but i need to press it almost every call.i hate doing repeated things.so,is there a software can help me "press" the volume+ key?

check out phone weaver
Using the profile of phone weaver, you can adjust the in-call volume.

[Solved] Bluetooth headset volume reset to low in every call

I want to mention this problem though i know it has been questioned previously with no answer.
When during a call you raise the bluetooth headset volume then the phone doesnt remember the setting and you have to raise the volume after the next call and again and again.
Very annoying!!Also raising the bt headset volume then the volume control opens and the ringer sound is raised too and i need to lower it after each call!!
Any solution on this?
Thanks!!

solved it
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrides]
"SavedInCallVolume"=dword:FFFFFF
This key seems to save the in call volume.
Set to FFFFFF for maximum in call bt headset volume.SOFT RESET.
Works for me, now in each call the bluetooth in call voice is set to max and i dont have to raise it any more.
When for any reason the volume goes down again, click the volume button in the earphone, just to stimulate it, set your prefferred settings for ring volume etc and then soft reset and the high earphone volume is back.
It is not a complete solution, of course, but it is better than having to raise and low the volumes after each call.
Up to now there is not a better solution to this problem.
If someone knows a better registry setting or tip solution he can post it.
Another problem also is that sometimes the last call button is accidentally pushed in the bluetooth earphone and the last call is activated.
I will try to find the setting that disables last call through bluetooth if there is any.

has anyone else tried this? I have this problem with the t-mous version of the hd2.

if this works you are a life saver I have had this problem for over 3 months now with no answer I will give it a try and answer back!
edit: it works!!!

I've just tried this, and get the following error:
Error : System.FormatException: FormatException at System.Number.ParseUInt32() at System.UInt32.Parse() at RegeditService.RegeditResponse.Send() at httpserv.Services.Service.sendResponse() at RegeditService.RegeditService.Exec() at httpserv.HttpServerWorker.run()
Any ideas?

i entered the value as dec...with total commander you can change in hex also

with this cab that I found here you can restore the original wm sound manager and the HD2 'remembers' the sound volume and keeps it at the highest level even with a bt headset!

I know it has been sometime to post in this thread, but I have found a work around.
Go to the market and download and instal the app 'Volume Locker' - its free. Make sure you do not activate it until you adjust the 'in-call bluetooth volume' level to a comfortable level (i usually call me wife, and then adjust the level while on the phone with her). Then before you end the call, go into the app 'Volume Locker' and activate it. Make sure you uncheck the box 'Allow Apps To Override'.
Now, everytime you call out using your bluetooth headset - it will remember your 'in-call bluetooth volume' setting.
I hope this works!

There is no "in call volume" setting in volume locker. Which box did you check in order to activate the in call volume?

Dial pad tone gone

The dial pad tone on my Dhd has become very very low that I can hardly ear it,that sound setting don't help,any ideas?thanx
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Try installing audio manager from market and turn up system volume,... not sure where to find the system volume in phone settings but audio manager is good.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Sorted the problem thanx,still weird how the system volume whent low.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

How'd you fix it?
(never mind) ... Why was it low in the first place?

Mine does this toodame happens to lock/unlock sound. I think it routes the sound to the call speaker instead of the rear speaker

Now that you mention it, I have the same. All my volume settings are set to Full and in sound options, I have selected to have sounds fr dial pad and for touch screen and for lock/unlock. I don't think they are redirected to call speaker because I don't hear sound there either.
Anyone found a solution without installing 3rd party app?

Ok, looked deeper into it and discovered that actually the only solution is the audio manager. It seems to be a must have as Android misses critical volume settings on its interface. That application is the only way to allow you to adjust the volume.
That's no excuse for HTC, Google or whoever is responsible for the Android OS or DHD. (really, who is responsible? I never thought that)

Going to give it a try myself as well.
Chefs, is there something that can be done on your end?

I use Sound Manager for this issue...happened to me twice already...

Other applications are responsible for this.
I too had faced this problem and suddenly the tones of dial pad were gone on my htc desire, it was only vibrating. The settings of Sound were all fine, still no tone. So being a tester I am, I backtracked and remembered what all I did.
It turned out when we install applications in Android we give them access to core functionalities of system. I had used Fring application prior in the day, where I had used Fring's Dialer pad. I logged into fring again went to dialer pad, increased volume and indicator said "Volume" unlike any other indicator of volume in HTC Desire. After increasing the volume, I logged out and went to phone dialer again, and tones were back. So our applications are responsible for turning down volume. A centralized application which controls all application can come in handy and there are few in android market available.
Hope this helped

I have deleted some apps from my phone following this problem but seemed to make no difference... today however the volume on dialer has returned to normal??? But also the noises on the qwerty pad now sound like an old fashioned typewriter??? My 4 yr old was messing with phone earlier but checked settings I can think of and nothing has changed... confused!

yea i got the same problem tried emailing HTC they dont know anything about it they just replied with
Kindly go to Menu>settings>sounds>check:
audible touch screen
audible selections
screen lock sounds
:/
thanx for XDA or i would've never sort it out

[Q] No notification/ringer sounds

Hi All!
I have heard about similar issues around, but now I have one, and the problem is that I run stock android 4.3 on my Nexus 4.
The issue is not always there. It happens occasionaly and then dissapears.
What exactly happens: sometimes I stop hearing sounds of notifications and ringing. Media and alarm are working at the same time.
When I try to change the volume in Sound-->Volumes I get the situation on the image in the attachment.
So whatever I do, I get "silent" ringtone. After clicking OK, and opening the Volumes once again, the ringer volume is set back to "silent"
I have also looked a bit into the adb console in my android studio and when having the issue I have a couple of lines, that don't appear when The issue is not present:
Code:
audio_hw_primary: out_set_parameters: exit: code(1)
Not sure if it helps but still.
Does anyone know what could be the cause? Where should I dig? Thanks!

The icon means your ringer has been muted. Have someone call you and then use the volume rocker to turn the volume up

Thanks for the answer, but I believe it's not what you say. I am able to talk using the phone with no problems, without even touching the volume rocker. So this is not muted. However, the situation on the picture results in muting the notification and ringing sound.
So I see it as a different problem.

I meant the icon means it's on silent

I understand. But the behavior should be as follows: I drag the volume level and the icon changes, right? This is not happening. However I drag the widget, the "muted" icon does not change.
But I will still try what you suggest, though I am sure it is not the source of the problem, as in your case it would not turn on and off by itself.
