since the volume slider when activated works on the device volume, not the ringer volume, I'd love to have icons in claunch that set the volume to some specific volume i.e. 20%. Is that possible?
If you have time, you can check and see if that's possible to do it in Mort script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289197&
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?
As the title says, is there a way to disable the ringtone volume control with hardware volume buttons ?
As i always accidentally push these buttons and lower my ringtone volume so that i cant hear it or the oposite.
I just want to adjust system volume with these buttons, and to adjust ringtone volume only in the sound settings on the phone.
Anyone who knows a tweak on this one ?
Thanks

Try AEB Plus. Works for me. Use link provided in previous post.

Anyone know a way to control the notification volume without having to go into settings? I know there is widgets out there, but every other android phone i have ever had the notification volume changed with the ringer volume. Am I missing a setting? Or any ideas. Thanks!
As the title says, i cannot hear clicks when selecting anything anywhere nor can I hear key clicks on any keyboard. All volume settings are at max. Other sounds like notifications and MP3 work fine.
I have this same issue. Everything else works fine but I can barely..... hear selections with all volumes maxed out.
I had this problem on my HTC EVO 4G.
Download AudioManager from the Market. (It's free)
It's by developer Smart Android Apps, LLC.
Raise the "System Volume" and see if it works.
That worked. Why can I not adjust the system volume outside this app?
It's dumb, I know. My EVO would not let me do it either until I downloaded the app.
Yeah that is a bit dumb.... Thanks a bunch.
Ok so in Settings under Sound then volume the three levels only do the following:
The First volume bar represented with a speaker icon adjusts only the Music Level(Instruction books says that this volume bar should adjust the system Volume level.)
The Second volume bar represented with a Bubble with Exclamation in it adjusts both the Alerts and Ringer Volume.
The Third Volume bar represented by an alarm clock or course only adjusts the alarm volume.
Also, The volume rocker only adjusts the music level only not the system volume level.
Looks like there is a firmware boo boo. Sammy needs to push a fix. What I don't doubt is that they're aware issue and probably will not fix it until touchwiz is pushed.
Only way right now to adjust the system volume on the tab 10.1 is with a third party app.
