Any way to stop the volume buttons from adjusting ringing volume? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As per title, I either have my ringer on full volume or silent depending on what I'm doing, never in between. It annoys me that it's not for media volume permanently, so is there any way I can make it just that? I've got root access, just don't know what to modify.

Anyone?

Bump.

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.

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.

[Q] How to set in-call volume to max and stay there

Here is the thing, I just can't come around to permanently set my in-call volume to stay in maximum setting. Everytime someone calls, I have to crank side volume buttons to the max. However, I have to repeat this every time when i restart the device as it automatically sets itself somewhere in the middle. Boy, this is annoying.
same "problem" here :-\
anyone knows how to solve this problem? please help
I think it has to do with "auto volume control" uncheck the box in the setting, system i think. Since "auto volume control" will automatically adjust voice record and in-call volume if it feel that the voice is too high or too low. If you disable it then u should be able to control the volume manually. I have problem with mine feeling that sometime the in-call volume is too high, i only set it in the middle.

Call volume

Hello,
My in call volume is VERY loud, so much so that I'm forced to move my phone away from my face when in a call. I've tried hitting the volume buttons when in a call but they seem to make no difference to the actual volume. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
Thanks!

How to make phone call volume quieter?

Hi!
We all know that we can set volume using volume buttons. In normal situation I can go as quiet as I want and even set it to zero. However, during the phone call I am not able to to go below certain level. Is there way to get rid of that limit so that I can set any volume during the phone call from volume buttons? Sometimes I want to go one step quieter than the quietest volume that phone offers me to use during the phone call.
