[Q] Question about volume types - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Under settings>sound>volume,
there are 4 types.
i only know 3 of them.
"incoming call" is the ringtone volume when the phone receive a call
"Media" is volume of apps, games, music player etc
"notification" is the notification sound like sms, reminder, calender etc
but what is "system" sound?
i notice that the system sound is related to the camera sound,
if i turn system sound all the way down to minimum, the camera focus and shutter sound gets turn off. (i love it that way)
as much as i like to camera shutter sound to be off, i am worried that i might mute some other "important" system sounds, so may i know what are the apps that are related by the system sound?
also, there seem to be many tutorial on how to mute camera sound, why is that needed if this simple way of turning system volume off can do the trick? perhaps is because it cause more harm than good? (such as muting other "important" apps sound)

Hmm....no reply from anyone.
no one knows the answer? or this is too stupid question?
anyway, i left the system volume off for few days now, it seems normal,
viber notification sound still on, only difference so far is the screenshot sound is muted as well.
for fyi for any one who is interested

[Q] abnormal sound with camera after GB!!

Hi everybody
After complete the ota update, I observed that when take a pic there is abnormal sound not like on the 1.83v.
Is there any idea about this issue?
Thank you
Not sure about the abnormal sound you hear.
All I got was the normal shutter sound. If you don't like it, you can go to the camera, then hit menu, and go to settings and uncheck Shutter tone.
Thank you Zero
Now even check or uncheck there is no sound
I don't no why???
It happens after GB update
I can't remember if it relys on your sound too? Did you try with your volume up or down to see if that made a difference?
Maybe try with ringer, media and alarm volume?
Just throwing ideas out there for ya
I am experiencing the same problem. After the GB upgrade the shutter sound changed. Is there a way to CHANGE the sound rather then disabling it? I am rooted.
**Bump**
Same here. I had sounds at one time, turned them off, and now can't get them back. Of course I've re-enabled the sounds, rebooted, battery removed etc. Shutter sound is gone :-(

[Q] mod to disable annoying "battery almost empty"-notification?

hi there,
i can't stand the default android notification beep when the battery is almost empty. is there any way to disable it or at least decrease the volume?
because no matter which sound profile i am using (vibrate or full sound), no matter how my overall loudness has been set, the annoying notification beep is ALWAYS F****ING LOUD ...(which i really hate ;-))
thanks for your input.
-Diversion
This might work:
Backup and delete
Code:
-system/media/audio/ui/TW_Battery_caution.ogg
-system/media/audio/ui/TW_Low_Battery.ogg
The vibration will still be there.

The guide is not for ICS, but if the sound-files are there it should work.
Just take nandroid backups etc before to be on the safe side.

[Q] Audio adjustment issue EVO 4G LTE

So i don't know if it's a software issue because of the new phone but my volume adjustments are very erratic, especially my voice call volume, every time i go on the phone it's at full blast and there's no setting to adjust it! also, there's no separate adjustment for the notifications! also pissed to see they grouped the nav with media sounds. when i downloaded an audio manager, the system volume and voice volume especially ****ed up constantly, but everything else was all over the place too, can anyone help me figure this out??
p.s. does anyone know of or is working on an external speaker enhancment?

[Q] Media volume stays muted?!

It doesn't seem to matter what the volume is set to, my media volume (almost) always has a slash through it and doesn't play media sounds (games, music, etc). I'm not sure what causes it or how I can fix it. The phone seems to do it randomly.
It hasn't always been this way, it comes and goes. I've watched Netflix and heard the music to Tiny Tower which both use the Media volume. Restarting my phone has shown to help at times but so far it always comes back. I'm hoping a firmware update can fix it.
I have no audio apps for monitoring volumes and none of the Motion settings that would affect audio are turned on. I keep my phone on vibrate 24/7 but still wish to have the media volume work separately than the ringer volume. I have (self-taught) experience in rooting, applying mods, general android app development, as well as every day usage with the android OS and this has me incredibly annoyed that I can't figure this out.
How can I explicitly mute/unmute my media volume?
Stock, no root, Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III (SPH-L710) Android 4.0.4 Hardware version L710.14
Do you mute/ vibrate from notifications - I can imagine that will override the sound settings. Set ringtone to zero and media to desired level?
No, I only ever change the volume through the volume rocker when I'm in an app that uses the media volume. I also never change the volume of notifications, they're muted and set to vibrate. The only volume I ever use or change is the media volume.

[Q] Notification Profiles

Hey guys,
I apologize if this is a repost, and if it is, feel free to berate me, but I have read a lot of posts on various forums about this and still have a few questions. I am running the CleanROM Verizon SE, however I am fairly certain that this is an issue with the stock ROM as well.
Problem: I really dislike the sound settings in the Note 2.
Reasons: The volume rocker only changes the volume of the ringer, and not of the notifications. Setting the phone to vibrate really only sets the ringer to vibrate. In order for it to vibrate for SMS, I have to check Vibrate check box in the messaging app settings, which means that it also vibrates when the phone is not on vibrate (when the ringer is on, I'm not sure if it still vibrates when it is on silent)
What I (and probably many other Note 2 users) Want: The volume rocker to control every noise that comes out of the phone (phone calls, texts, gmails, other notifications) except media and alarms. When I put it on vibrate, I want everything that would make a sound if the ringer were on to vibrate (phone calls, texts, gmails). And when it is on silent, I want no noise to come out of the phone.
This is the way it was on my previous phones (Thunderbolt, Blackberry), and it is a really basic thing for Samsung and/or Google to mess up.
Question: Do you guys know of any app, mod (I am rooted), or ROM where this is fixed, and is at least somewhat close to what I want? When it comes to ROM's, I would ideally like to stay with TW, since I do enjoy the S Pen functionality and all of the other features, like multiwindow and motions.
I have read that Light Flow may have what I want, but that it has a few bugs with the Note 2.

When you click the rocker, as it is changing the ringer volume, there is a settings icon to the right of the volume. Clicking that brings up the sound settings for notifications, alarms, media, etc.
Not sure if this is as detailed as you need it. As for vibrate, not sure what you mean? Anytime I put my phone on silent, the only thing that makes any noise is the alarm (obviously) and none of my apps that would vibrate actually do vibrate when on silent. Sorry I can't help you there.
I use Lightflow for the led, but have not yet used it for the actual sound notification portion.

I know you can press the little gear icon and that gives you a few more options when it comes to sound. That does what I want when it comes to sound, but is kind of a pain in the butt. I feel like the rocker should change both the notification and the ringer volume.
For vibrate, the biggest thing is messaging and gmail. I don't want my phone to vibrate when I get a text and the sound is on. But when my phone is on vibrate, I want it to vibrate when I get a text. The setting in the stock messaging app makes it vibrate both when the sound is on and when the phone is on vibrate. As I said in the OP, I'm not sure if it also vibrates when on silent, because I don't use silent often.

Yea, I remember the Thunderbolt had the option to tie the notification volume to the ringer volume (which I think is what you talked about in OP) - unfortunately, short of setting each specific notification (a la a third party app) I'm not sure I've come across a better option. Sorry.

What third party app can do that?

I don't know of a ready-made third party app, but I have used Tasker for certain apps.
This would require a special profile to be created for each and every app. I use a special profile that controls who can call me at night when my phone is on silent, and have set up various vibrate patterns for different apps to differentiate them. I haven't used it for every app, but something like that could possibly be accomplished.
Again, not much of a ready-made solution

Ah, okay. Thanks for your help. I'll definitely keep that in mind. The only apps I would do that for are text and gmail. Tasker is kind of pricey though.
If anybody else has any other ideas, feel free to tell me!
