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] Message Notification Interrupts Audio

Hi, I'm a complete noob in every respect. I just got my Tab last weekend, and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions as time goes on, but just a little one to start off with.
When I'm listening to music, if I receive a message (email or SMS) the audio playback is interrupted while the notification sound plays, then it resumes. I would prefer if the notification just sounded on top of the music. Is there a setting or something I can change to let this happen?
Thanks

i9500 loses ringtone after coming out of silent mode

Hi all,
I have noticed that my Galaxy S4 i9500 "loses" the ringtone settings after I bring it out of Silent or Vibrate mode. The notification bar will show that sound is "On", but the phone will not ring when there is an incoming call. When I check the sound settings, the ringtone will be "Silent". Everything will be ok for a few days after I manually set the ringtone again. And the problem comes back after a few days.
Happened on Android 4.2.2 and 4.3, so not sure if it is a OS issue. Btw, I am using my own ringtone in AAC format. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Do not disturb with only vibration?

Hi all,
is it possible, with the current OOS or an additional app, to achieve the following:
I want "do not disturb" to work like this:
- starred contact calls: phone vibrates
- non starred contact or unknown caller calls: phone stays silent.
so far, I cannot reduce the ringtone volume to zero. Furthermore, I sometimes need a loud ringtone, so choosing a silent ringtone will not solve my problem. Additionally, I sometimes need a full silent mode.
I found a workaround for this problem with dnd mode which had worked on oneplus 3, but stopped to work with some version of OOS. Can you help me?

+1 to this. I would like to Silent be silent, do not disturb to vibrate only and the third option lets there be sound.

Alarm doesn't go through during calls?

Whenever I'm in a call using apps like discord or skype, my alarm doesn't go off. The notification appears for me to snooze or end it, but my phone doesn't make any noise or vibrate. Is there anyway to have an alarm go off during calls? This used to work for me in the past.
