I am trying to set the notification volume differently than the ringtone volume but there is no way for me to do it my ringtone volume is awesome but then the notification volume just goes really loud and awkward is there a way for me to fix it.
Looking for a solution to this too!
I never see this feature unless I'm on a custom Rom. The devs usually make this happen. You can try some of the ROMs out there. I haven't felt the need to use a custom Rom so I'm not sure which to try out. I'd say this is about the only feature I miss not having as well.

It seems that u can use any MP3, wav etc. files as your ringtone. But if you set your ringtone to vibrate and ring, the audio will play well but the vibrate mode will continue vibrating until the audio finish, and this is kinda annoying.
Is there any software that could edit this ringtone and vibration mode?
I know that nokia ringtones has the ability to control the vibrate pattern with their .nrg files, but i don't think it's supported with PPC and you can't get the .nrg editor. They keep it close to themselves.
Do let me know if there's any such s/ware or any of u guys who could develop it...

Anyone have an answer to this? I know that this post is old but perhaps there is still no clear answer (yes I have done the search thing but nothing came out) so I am having the same problem, anyone out there who could shed light into this? It would be also be beneficial if someone could tell me if there is a way to make the long custom sms stop when I have already acknowledged the alert? it is kinda annoying specially if you forget to set to silent on a meeting, it still plays even if I have already touched the phone and tried to switch it off. please help? thanks.
i am searching for this function too. vibrate and sound at the same time. every profile-manager i have seen can make only vibrate or sound. or first sound an then vibrate.
This Software can make it:

(Profil: loud)
but i need only a software for profiles not for contacts and so on.
Is there a way to separate the different volume settings, like system, SMS, reminders, etc.? I listen to music on my HD2 a lot, and I almost deafened myself by bumping the volume up and then getting a text. I like how on my old Dash 3G every option was separate instead of bunched into just the system volume -- Is there a way to do that on the HD2?
System and ring volumes can be seperatied by going to Settings tab/Sound and Display". Switch off "Use single ring/system volume"
Program and button clicks can be set to soft/loud by going to Settings tab/Menu/All Settings/Sounds and Notifications.
I also have this problem. To me, it makes sense having a single volume control that goes from full volume to silent and vibrate.
If I play media, though, volume should be controlled through a different setting, with ringer/notification being the other setting. I noticed windows mobile (or sense, I don't know which one's doing it) will pair media along with notifications and ringer will be left alone, that is, untill you get to silent or vibrate, then both volume levels are applied the same silent or vibrate rule, even media!
I take it for granted now because, before windows mobile, every smartphone and dumbphone I've used allows you to play media when the rest of the volumes are set to silent or vibrate (I personally use vibrate all the time), but then when listening to music I have to pull the phone out of vibrate, which, as OP mentioned, suddenly brings the notifications to full volume too (and I like keeping notifications at full volume when I get off of vibrate mode, for example, when I'm sleeping, and not have to jump to settings to move notifications from soft to loud).
Worse, yet, is that there's no way to create and save a sound profile, which ALL dumbphones do. The only profiles available are the ones under Sounds & Display (where Display is only a button that leads to yet another menu, what gives?!). The closest I got to a profile I use is by setting the ringer to "Vibrate", system volume to 100 and ringer volume to 0 and control "system" volume as necessary with the rocker switch (all my notifications are off until I go to sleep when I have to manually set them all on, sadly). But if I ever, by mistake, press any of the "Profiles" under Sounds & Display, all the settings I had carefully set get thrown out and I have to do it all over again.
Maybe I need to peek under window's actual settings instead of using sense, and maybe I'll find something suitable.
I look forward to a version 6.6 or 6.7, or 6.8 of windows mobile where it retains all it's power, but simple issues such as this, or finger-friendliness are resolved. Microsoft did say they'd continue working on this windows as Mobile Classic (or proffesional, was it?)
Honestly, that was my exact same reaction. I can't believe something so basic, something so simple isn't in the newer Windows Mobile OS, but the old ones had it. Honestly, this is almost a deal-breaker for me.

You can go to your START/SETTINGS/SOUND & DISPLAY & unlick where it says use single volume for both settings!
@toreone
Actually, that just separates the ringer. I want the SMS, MMS, voicemail notifications, reminders, etc. to ALL be separate. That's where my problem is.
I wish WM6.5 had Android's system of audio control. Volume control for system, ring tone, phone, media. When you're NOT doing anything, the volume control should be for ring tone. When you're on a phone call, it should just handle volume for phone call. When you're playing multimedia, it should adjust media volume.
I'm not a big fan of how WM (or maybe sense) forces the system volume to be linked to the ring volume. I can't have ring as vibrate AND still have some volume for system. It's annoying!
Can anyone help me? In Settings I do not have Sounds & Display anymore...

use your finger to swipe-scroll the settings list up and down, you'll find it there.

This does not solve the problem. "Ring" only controls the volume of rings when voice calls come through.
SMS, mms, email, chat, listening to music, etc. is all clumped into the "System" volume.
So if you set it to "single volume for both settings" then phone alerts will come through just as loud as your music. And phone alerts are usually higher pitched and more annoying.
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP... listening to music and then getting this loud sms tone. I came from using an iphone and this problem was an easy fix as the iphone separated phone alerts (ring, sms, email) from headphones/ear piece volume.

I am a newbie to HD2 but I have the old dash and old Shadows 2007 and 2009 and I agree I don't understand as to why this feature is missing in HD2. I am not sure if I missed it, but I don't see any hack on this one yet..
Hi,
I recently switched from a WM standard phone (snap - non touch screen) to the HD2 - big move
One thing that I am confused about is that if I put the HD2 in "VIBRATE" mode, the volume is set to 0, so when I try to play some music using my stereo headset, I need to bring the volume up to hear it.
But, as soome as I bring the volume up, the HD2 switches out of vibrate mode
With my non-touch screen phone, even when you were in "Vibrate" mode, you could listen to any multimedia app you wanted, and still any notification (SMS, New Email, voice mail, etc) would still just vibrate and not make a sound.
How can I EASILY get the HD2 to stay in VIBRATE mode and listen to music without having to modify each "notification" manully one-by-one to just "VIbrate"?
Any ideas?
i vaguely remember (currently stoned! ) that this is indeed possible and that i used to do it on my HD2...
i'm currently using android 24/7 for the past 2+ months so can't boot back to WM to confirm what i remember.
i believe i had "ringer" and "system" volumes set to show as separated from one another on the big grey volume control screen. the setting to toggle splitting the controls is somewhere on the Sense settings' tab.
so i would keep the volume down pressed all the way so that the phone would switch both volume controls to vibrate (the sequence was highest volume->lowest volume->silent *(i.e. no vibrate either)->vibrate). then i would switch to the "system" tab of the volume control and drag it back UP. so the "ringer" tab remained on vibrate and the "system" tab got the volume it needs to play music, or what have you.
i suppose this would silence the notification sounds as well because i vaguely remember another setting that makes the notification sounds follow the "ringer" volume as opposed to the "system" volume. but if the notification sounds follow the "system" volume, then you would still hear them during the music playback...but i find that prospect useful as well, so maybe it was designed that way and i don't remember properly?!?
so yeah, whatever

If you could remember that setting that would be awesome, I like how Android handles notification and system sounds. I would prefer to have the ringer and notifications together and then multimedia sounds separate, any hint where to look?
you need settings....., sound + display....
then set "single volume" to off.
your volume control should now have two tabs for ring and system volume levels.....
even after they are seperate and he has the ringer turned down, his texts and other notifications will still sound because they are systems sounds right?

Yes notification sounds are linked to System volume, the OP, and myself for that matter, are looking to have the notifications linked to ringer volume like it is in Android so that system volume is delegated to multimedia and such. I was always under the impression that this was a limitation of Winmo but now I wonder if it's in the registry to change that
regarding my post above, i have a feeling that i am incorrectly stating that the "notification volume follows ringer volume" feature is present in WM as well.
like i said in the post, i can't remember properly and so take the post with a grain of salt. apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Haha it's all good. Yeah I was just hopeful is all, it would be nice if it was a part of the registry but I am thinking that is a core functionality of WinMo
This drives me nuts. Damn you Samsung for not leaving it as selectable feature but are forcing us to have it.
OK, so far I've tried these methods:
1. Wanam Xposed, there's an option in Phone section that says Disable increasing call ringer - it doesn't work on my phone, it's checkmarked and doesn't do the job, rebooted a few times with no luck
2. Apps from PlayStore - I've tried HandyPhone and Disable Increasing Ring, didn't like neither.
HandyPhone had that feature OFF by default, to achieve what I wanted I had to turn it on and set start volume and end volume to the same value, say 10. In this case lowering the ring volume from the phone did not work since HandyPhone was always applying same volume setting (10).
Disable Increasing Ring - this didn't work so well, it did the job but not clean cut, it was leaving empty spaces in the status bar between other notifications, etc.
I saw somewhere SecPhone.apk patched but not for Galaxy S5 (Active).
Have I missed another way that can do this?

Have you found a fix? Im still searching
As title says I can't find a way to lower the 'notification' sound...
Is there a setting for this?
As far as I know, ringer and notification volumes are tied together - one volume control for both. There used to be an Xposed module to unlink them on Oreo. I suppose that you want loud ringer and quiet notifications, in such case you might do a workaround - create quieter or totally silent sound file and select it as a notification sound. Then you can have loud ringer and quiet/silent notifications (or the opposite of course).

Thanks, I was afraid of that...
I'll try to modify my notification sound then.
TY anyway! :good:
