Incoming Call Ringer Volume Does Not Change On My Vibrant?

Hey there guys,
So I've noticed the oddest thing, You know how you can lower your ringer volume by just clicking down as many times as you want until it is on vibrate then finally silent. Well on mine it doesn't. I can click the down volume button a few times and the meter shows the yellow bar decreasing, yet when the phone rings it is still on full blast. The only thing that works is full blast, vibrate and silent which is strange and inconvenient when I'm in public because I don't want to put it on vibrate or silent, I just want to lower it a bit so its not so startlingly loud in public. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks,
Haven

[Q] X10 Volume change beep

Does anyone know a way of muting the beep heard when pressing the volume change buttons on the phone? I'm talking about the beep heard when changing the ringer volume. I don't need to know how loud it will be if I can see the illustration on the screen telling me how loud it is.
I haven't found an app that can successfully mute only that sound.

Dunno, don't know any tweak to remove the beep but 3rd party apps such as widgetsoid etc can toggle the sound level without the beep.

Thanks but that program didn't solve the issue. My issue with the beep is the fact that I sometimes accidentally press the buttons when holding the phone and the beeps are rather loud and annoying after a while. The app you suggested did help me change other things around so it wasn't a total loss.
My search continues...

I used an app called Volume Ace from the Market and it controls every volume available in the phone. You can also make profiles on it...

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

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.

[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.

[Q] Volume issues

I have been having volume issues that I haven't seen anyone post about. Alarms I have seen and I'm having the same issue. Not with the alarm app crashing but with the volume itself. The alarm goes off but no volume. Same with phone ring tone and message ringtone. I have missed calls and messages because when the arrive I don't hear them. Everything works like it should just no volume when the volume is set to high. I do have a volume mod installed to make it louder but I had the same issue prior to installing the mod. I'm currently running CromCleanrom but also had the issue with Alliance. If anyone knows a fix it would be greatly appreciated.
