Rather than the little speaker at the top, is there a plugin for the today screen to just tap "ringer on / vibrate / ringer off" ?
I know there is one in the HTC Home plugin, but that takes up a large amount of space on the today screen, and would rather not have that showing.
Thanks for the help.
If you goto Settings > System > End Key, you can set it to Vibrate/Ringer On. It's a handy feature, don't know if it'll be exactly what you want though.
Are there shortcuts to activate/deactivate silent mode and vibrate mode or is the menu or volume button the only way? Sometimes I want to increase the volume and switch on vibrate, which doesn't seem possible unless you go into the menu. Also is there a way to set it to one ring only, or beep mode?
You can install any of the "switch mode" widget that you can find in Market, but the fastest way to change suond profile is push the volume down button for more than 2 seconds, phone will put in silent mode, then push once volume up to set it to vibrate. Push volume up for more than 2 seconds to restore full ring
Yep, seems to be the fastest way to change the volume and set silent, a bit annoying that it beeps along the way but no big deal.
But, if you do that to set it on vibrate, it doesn't seem to work for text messages... those stay silent because they have a separate setting to vibrate. WHY?!?!!!
Always seemed like an easy thing on symbian & windows mobile, you hold one button or a couple of clicks later everything is set to vibrate, especially useful if outdoors and can't hear messages.
I just hold down the END key and select "Silent Mode". Is that not an option on your phone?
Check out egg 'n stones' "Profiles" application in the market. You can define and set profiles from the application plus you can create shortcuts to any profile. For every profile you can set the volume of the different types of sounds (alarms, notifications, media, speech, etc.) It's my favourite profile manager.
Cheers.
thanks, i'll check it out
Or just install these widgets from Jerpelea's rom page. You can find the widgets link on the palm pre theme rom, 2nd post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538633
There is a really nice 1 button widget that sits on your home screen and you can press it and it cycles between silet, vibrate and ring.
Just allow the phone to accept 'unkown sources' in the application menu. Then access the widgets from the sd card (save them there) and then you can install them.
I have got a wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, brightness & volume widget that all have little blue icons that match downloaded from the marketplace..
there from Rounded Labs.. All free as well
my phone started acting weird lately. I can switch to silent or vibrating mode with the volume button when I first turn on the phone, but after I make one phonecall it stops that function and starts working as a up-down button that can navigate within the menu items and such.
I have checked all of the settings options that might have an affect on this, but couldn't find anything yet.
Any suggestions as for how I can fix this?
Vibrate all??
My volume buttons controlled all the notifications and sounds on my previous Android phones. That is NOT the case on the Samsung Vibrant. It will only control the volume for the incoming call ringer. I would have to go to settings for every notification volume to lower them and set them to vibrate. The only option I've found is t set the volume all the way down to silent on the side of the phone which will silence everything. The problem is, there is ZERO notification whatsoever. No led, no sound, no vibrate.
Isn't there a way to have the volume control all the sounds and vibration mode on the phone as a global setting?
On my volume bar screen, apparently the vibrate and silent buttons have switched positions.
The vibrate button used to be at the bottom below the silent, but now the silent is at the very bottom.
Any idea where the registry entry might be?
it's part of the HTCVolumeControl.dll file. I'm guessing you installed a taskbar icon pack (tsowen?)... I know that tsowen's taskbar icon pack switches that file for a different one which switches those 2 buttons & you lose some functionality of it.
I am working and wish to lower my Galaxy Note's overall notification sound including incoming calls, sms, whatsapp, etc... I pressed the volume button on the side to like 2/7 of the bar. The incoming calls sound seems lowered but not the sms/msg sounds. What settings should I change in order to have the whole device's sounds controlling all at once?
menu > settings > sound > volume > notification
edit:
Sorry, I didn't completely read your post.
There's an app called audiomanager and it allows you to link your ringer volume with your notification volume.
thanks for your answer.
I mean there is no way to control the in-coming call + notification sound in 1 button? I pressed the volume up and down key on the phone only can control the in-coming ringtone I thought most phone can do that but not this Note. am I right?
So confirmed there is no way the side up and down volume button can control both ringtones and notifications sounds at once?
After i updated to 3.6.0 i'm having an issue where if i set the alert slider to the ¨Ring¨ position and turn on my wifi, the phone will go silent. The ring icon will change to vibrate icon in the volume window and the volume slider will only show a dot. If i press the volume up button the volume will go up but the vibrate icon will stay the same and the slider will only show the dot moving without actually showing a volume bar filling up.
