Getting an LG G2. Question about notification and ringtone volume - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
On the LG G2 can you set the volume levels separately for notifications and ringtones? For example, when I go to bed, I want to mute all notification sounds and leave my ringer loud enough to wake me up if necessary.

Yes, you can mute notifications and leave the ringtone volume turned up.

Ringer silence

Is there any way to silence the incoming phone ring. I noticed that once it started ringing there is no way you can silence the ring from the pre assigned volume level . Even if you put the audio to the lowest level the ringing volume still attains its pre assigned volume level. Wanted to ask is there any way to lower the ringing volume once it started ringing?
Is there any profiles to choose from when you are in a meeting, outdoor etc...
Do you want to silence it or reduce it, if I click on the speaker icon when phone is ringing, and click off, the sound immediately ceases.
What I normally do ...
Hi rontess,
What I normally do if I a receive an incoming call and I want to silence the ringer is I simply slide the "volume slide" button on the left down once i.e. like turning down the volume when in an actual call. This silences the phone completely!
NOTE: This does not end or place the call to voice mail it simply silences the incoming ring. So once I have silenced the call it will keep ringing "silently" or until voice mail kicks in.
Hope that was what you were looking for!
Cheers,
Steelbubble

With my Asia Rom, just click down the volume button once will make it silent. With other rom, someone said by using the power off button.
There was a thread about this several months ago.
Hope this help

call volume always starts out quiet

Every time I answer the first call of the day, I have to turn up the volume, which is very low. Does it default to low volume from start up?
Also, I frequently put my phone on vibrate with no ringer, then back to full volume ringer throughout the day. This wouldn't have anything to do with call volume, would it? Sometimes mid-day the call volume is back to low.
I use a bluetooth when driving to work, but adjust the call volume on that device, not the phone.
Am I just doing something dumb, here?
Thanks

Stock T-Mobile ROM
That setting you mention only has the choices ring tone, and ring type, which I had on Vibrate AND ring.

ok thanks. This is my first Windows phone. Installing a different ROM seems over my head, unless I can do it on my MAC?

[Q] Volume rocker functions on Froyo

I loved on 2.1 how I could just use the rocker to go from sound, to vibrate, to silent. Is there any way of enabling this on EB13? "vibrate only when not in silent" doesn't give the same effect, as the rocker goes straight from silent to low volume.

This is really annoying. Sometimes I need it to be silent, sometimes I want my phone to just vibrate. But it doesn't seem like that's possible with froyo..

I think one reason for removing it is because it is on the pull down menu now. Personally I like it better there.

Yeah but if you choose only vibrate on silent and then choose silent, it's not really silent is it? It still vibrates...
The reason why it matters to me is because I set my phone on a cradle while at work and I don't need the phone to vibrate because it's loud. I'd rather have it on silent.

If you go to sound settings then vibrate you can set it to "vibrate only when not in silent mode." There will be no vibrate only option, but you will have silent instead, without vibrate. Works through the rocker and notification bar

Right, but then the phone won't vibrate if I have it in my pocket. Stupid I know but it's useful for me...
That is a Android 2.2 feature, not a Samsung or Sprint thing. You can change it in the settings to either be silent and no vibrate or vibrate only. The only way around this is a widget like the previous post said.

Man I see your point now. I apologize I didn't actually test it. You can either have volume and vibrate our volume and silent. That does suck. Glad I don't use silent very often but that is a pain.

If you press volume up on the rocker to enable the ringer, it will vibrate. Unless you simply want vibrate only, and silent (no vib) only, then yes widget is the only option. What you want is not stupid, deleting that feature was stupid

No problem. I just find silent and vibrate separately as being useful. Whenever I'm in a meeting, I'd like my phone to vibrate when it's in my pocket so I know I got a message. But when I'm at my desk, it's annoying to have my phone vibrate whenever I get an email/text. For one, I have gmail open at my desk and 2, I just have the screen come on whenever I get a text so vibrate isn't really necessary.
Oh well, guess I'll explore using a widget. Thanks.

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,

LG G3 quiet mode

LG need to address the problem with quiet mode.
It seems it would be easy to have a sub menu in each mode, sound, vibrant and quiet
So you can decide what led notifications, vibration and sound you receive.
I have to turn sound off, turn vibrate off and turn off Led notifications and make sure it is set to priority, so the alarms works.
It should be easier than that!!
I agree with this. I use my phone as my alarm but I don't like to get woken up by text messages or phone calls when I'm trying to sleep so normally I put my phone on silent. But with this do not disturb setting it's a pain in the backside having to manually set priority alerts on. Surely they could just add another toggle setting to the button on the notification bar so it goes 'Sound/Vibrate/Priority/Do Not Disturb'.

I don't really know what you problem is... if you're in priority mode every single thing of your list get turned off automatically! Except for media volume. Just make sure you don't use "Do not disturb"-Mode if you still want to hear your alarm.
cheers
Yup. Set mine to priority every night and no led notifications, no vibrate, no nothing other than alarm in the morning.
