So I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if it was just me..
I've noticed that no matter what my ringer volume is set to, it blares as loud as it can. If it's at one tick above silent it will be super quiet, but any more and it's at max volume.
I also noticed that when the alarm goes off, the side buttons do nothing. Even when the side button behavior option is set up properly in the alarm options.
Anyone else seeing this stuff?

Ringer:
I have not had this issue.
Alarm:
I tested this and the volume buttons don't do anything....but if you use the power button it will snooze the alarm.
As far as the ringer, try turning off the pocket mode.

In your sound settings is the box checked for "use incoming call volume for notification volume"?

On the iphone if i switched the vibrate function on the side of the phone, everything was muted, I notice when i put my phone into vibrate if i go to a game its still at full volume, whats a good master volume controller or something of that sort? I see a ton of them on the market
Yeah, only Media Volume is not muted when you use the volume rocker button.
AudioManager I think is good for a free widget.
I use sound manager & the best thing is you can set schedules for the system volume or individual sounds. I have mine set to kill notifications at night so emails & texts don't wake me, but keep ring volume up for emergency calls.
Quick settings...enable notifications being the same volume as ringtone

Thanks for this...just got it to try it and I love it already
I'm not sure if I'm acting handicapped here of if its the way Android was written, but my alerts for Text messages and Alarms are notoriously quiet.
I've ticked the box that says "Use incoming call volume for notifications" and then I set the incoming call volume to max. Then I unticked the volume and set each separate volume to max.
Either way, the notification volume is sooo silent that I literally have to look for the green flashing light on my phone to see if I even got a text.
And I almost missed the alarm this morning if I hadn't left vibrate on.

The x10 volume is really low sound. Its one of the only phones I have had that has such low volume. My sisters messaging phone lowest volume is louder than the x10 loudest. So you aren't the only one with the low volume complaint.

But, why is it specifically the notification volume? The incoming call volume is just fine.

I myself had to create my own ringtone with an app called ringdroid from the market from mp3 songs. The sound quality is better and louder.

Does anyone else have the problem that if you have a text tone, email tone & phone ringtone, then try and Mute or put in Vibrate mode the S3, it only mutes the ringtone, both text messages and emails are still heard. Just found that out while in a meeting
Never experienced this before, any ideas?

No, this doesn't happen to me.. if I put the phone on silent everything goes silent.
Then if you open the volume control settings you can see that the icon for notification is crossed out to indicate silent.
Are you on a custom ROM? And how are you enabling silent mode?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
I'm on Vodafone stock rom, I use the notification menu and selected Mute or Vibrate and text/email tones come through. I've even turned off the sound using the volume buttons, but these tones are still coming through.
When you go to volume settings do you are the icons crossed out when in silent mode?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
I get either the icon mute or icon vibrate mode set in the notification bar area. I think I may end up trying a full reset and installing apps one at a time just in case one is conflicting.
One thing I have noticed is that if I use the volume rocker and turn it to mute, if you click the settings on the right of it, it shows all 3 volume settings and I think this is where it's not muting the other notifications
There seems to only be 7 steps for volume on the S3. I've found that the lowest setting for notifications is still quite loud in a quiet setting. Is there anyway I can make it quieter without resorting to using quieter notification sounds?
I'm coming from a Droid 3 and the lowest setting was perfect, it was just loud enough for me to hear at my desk without it bothering others.
Now I have to keep my S3 on vibrate at work, and it's annoying for me because I never seem to hear/feel the vibration.

Do you mean Volume Control + by Coffeebreak Apps? (sorry can't post links yet) I tried that but it has the same limitations as the stock settings, just 7 predefined steps.
Or do you mean Volume+ (Volume Boost) by Meltus? I don't see how that app would help but I guess I'll try it.
Thanks.
Update: I installed Volume+ from androidaudiohacks dot com. I changed the levels to the lowest setting on everything and it made no difference to the notification volume :-\
I know I've seen one at least that does smaller steps, but I can't remember what it is called. I saw it when I search "volume widget"

I've tried a couple dozen different apps but they all seem to be tied directly to the same system settings that can't make it any quieter. If you happen to know of a specific one that might I would love to hear it (if you have the time that is, I'm not trying to inconvenience you)
There is a setting in build.prop. you can set it up to 20. Can't remember its name tho

Hmm really? It lowered the volume of your notification sounds? My hearing is average, it's just that it didn't actually lower the sound for me. Perhaps I did something wrong? I'll try again later tonight and see if that is the case.
I'm also looking for a quieter volume setting. I'm surprised how loud the ringtone and notifications are at the quietest setting.
I suppose rooting and getting a custom rom might be the way to achieve this but having already bricked one S3 I'm a bit wary about diving right back into the pool! But if someone happens to find a ROM that gives more volume control let me know!
Volume Rocker?
Are you turning the notification volume down with the volume rocker? I just realized that the notification volume does not match the ringer volume as you adjust it with the volume rocker. On my Evo 4G I could check a box that made them adjust up and down at the same time. On the GS3 I have to press the volume rocker then press the settings button that is visible in the ringer volume pop up. From there I can adjust the notification volume independantly.
It does however mute the notifications when the ringer is set to vibrate or mute.
Can someone build that into a ROM? Where the notification and ringer volume go up and down together?

No I use a widget (Widgetsoid) that lets me change the two independently. If I wanted to I could check the box at the top (see attached screenshot) and then the volume rocker would adjust both at once.
I never had any luck getting Volume+ to alter the volume of my notifications.

Are you mistaking the notification level for system level? System sounds kill my ears, and I actually have to adjust it through Settings > Sound > Volume. Looks like Widgetsoid might be an easier method, instead of going through settings every time. Also, I set a schedule in the Timeriffic app, so that it's ever too loud for me anymore.

Well, I thought I made some progress on this.
As you can see from the attachment, I did get there to be more steps. I had to make some adjustments to framework.jar to get it to change.
BUT, it doesn't do much good.
For the ringer volume steps 9-17 are silent. 8 is the loudest. 18 is the quietest..
For the notification volume, step 1 is still just as loud as before, and steps 8-15 are silent, so that was completely pointless. I'll edit the framework to have ringer and notifications be 30 to see if that does anything. It's really a crapshoot of what I'm editing, there are no descriptions just hex characters.
I just got my One yesterday and so far ive only had one problem. When I put it on silent or vibrate mode, Notification sounds still play for sms etc. is this a bug or just how the phone works? coming from a galaxy nexus where silent mode would stop all sound.

Mine mutes sound in vibrate. I haven't used silent.
Go into the messaging app press menu and choose settings. There you will find the options for notifications

i have the same problem n this is the second htc one im using n still getting this problem..when i put the phone on silent it will ring out laud when i put it on vibrate it will still ring out laud wtf is going on ??? anybody knows
Why should someone need to modify the SMS app settings? If you put the overall phone on vibrate, that should be the prevailing condition. Mine not only plays notification sounds when on vibrate-only, it also rings...LOUDLY.
I'm having this issue as well! Every time I change the profile, I have to manually set the sound options. When I switch profiles, the settings never save. Does this defeat the purpose of profiles?! Why is this even an issue?! Anyone find a solution yet?
Turn off "Pocket mode"
Nope, still resets all profiles.
The only thing I can think of is maybe the contacts that are calling you are set up as "VIP"?
I saw another thread that said those contacts will always make the phone ring regardless of sound settings..
It's not just the calls. When I go to sounds, I select normal and put all the volumes to max. I go to vibrate and set all of the volumes to mute. When I switch back to normal, the notifications and alarms are mute and the calls are max. Nothing ever saves. I just want normal mode to have all volumes max and vibrate to mute everything. I'm completely new to Android, but there's got to be a simple way to do this.
So you're saying that after you select the "sound profile", you also manually make changes to the individual settings after that?
Because my impression of the profiles is that they are pre-set profiles.. and once you change a setting manually it is not going to "save" that change. The sound profiles are just that: pre-set profiles that you cannot save changes to.
I could be wrong though.
That could be a possibility. I find it a bit peculiar that they give you the options to change settings, but doesn't let you save them. I'm hoping that isn't the case, but if it is is there a way to create your own custom profiles? And would there be a way to switch to those profiles using the quick settings coming out with 4.2.2?
Honestly I haven't been interested in the profile feature. I pretty much keep my phone on one setup which is 80% volume for ringtone/notifications and 60% for media all day I don't need to constantly change profiles. If I need minor adjustments during the day I make them on the spot. So I'd have to look into it

Thanks for the help. I just find it hard to believe there's no way to set your own preferences. I even downloaded a 3rd party app that supposedly allowed you to create your own profiles. I set the Vibrate profile to silence on everything, to test it I text myself and bam the phone makes noise. Awesome. I just don't understand how this can be, it's starting to get a bit frustrating.
So let me ask a couple of questions so that I can target the right solution for you -
1. Are you just looking for something that will 'silence' your phone during certain times of the day/night? Or do you need something more complicated than that?
2. Do you need the sound profile to also have the option to be activated based on location? or just time
thanks
I'm not looking for anything location or time specific. I just want to have the option to switch off all sounds and have vibrate only whenever I need it. And the option to swap back to normal, of which I would like to have everything on full volume. For example, on the iPhone there was an external switch that shut all noises down and switched the phone over to vibrate or silent depending on the users settings. There is no external switch on the HTC One, so I'm trying to find a quick way to do that internally. I thought that was the purpose of the profiles, but I guess I'm mistaken. There must be a way to do this.

Yes, that's how the profiles (should) work.
When you want to switch to silent/vibrate, just select one of those. But don't manually adjust anything after that. Only switch the profile.
But honestly, it just sounds like you need to hold "down" volume until it hits vibrate, or silent.. and then hit "up" volume when you want sound back. Don't understand what it is you're trying to do, sounds like you're over-complicating this IMO. Because you're not asking for anything special.

From the HTC One user guide
Changing ringtone settings
Switching between silent, vibrate, and normal modes
Do one of the following:
- To change from silent to normal mode, press the VOLUME UP button.
- To change from vibrate to normal mode, press the VOLUME UP button twice.
- Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Sound > Sound profile.
Lowering the ring volume automatically
HTC One has a quiet ring feature that automatically lowers the ring volume when you
move it.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
2. Tap Sound.
3. Select the Quiet ring on pickup option.
Making HTC One ring louder in your pocket or bag
To help avoid missing incoming calls when HTC One is in your pocket or bag, the
pocket mode feature gradually increases the ring volume and vibrates when you
receive a call.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
2. Tap Sound.
3. Select the Pocket mode option.
Right, that's what I thought. That this should be extremely easy. However, it is not. One way to do it is to hold the volume rocker in either direction and it changes the profile. BUT, when I switch it to vibrate, the notifications and alarms still make sound. Only the ringtone is silenced. That is not what I want. I want ALL sounds to be silenced, which is what I thought the settings would be for. When I change them it works, everything is silenced. But once I switch back to normal, Vibrate goes back to being ringtone-silent, notifcations & alarms - max volume. I hope my situation makes a bit more sense now. I would consider myself pretty tech savvy, so trust me when I say this is extremely frustrating. Thanks for your help so far though!

I just looked at it again and the "default" volumes for normal mode seem to be max volume and mute notifications and alarms. Why on earth would that be the default. Why would I want my alarms to be silent when its in normal mode. lol So I change notifications and alarm to max volume, switch the profile to vibrate and then back to normal. The volumes are then set back to max volume ringtone and mute notifications / alarm. WHYYYYY..
That's why when I want the phone on vibrate or silent, I just hold volume down. Then nothing makes sound. Not the notifications, ringtones, nothing. Using the profiles sounds like a hassle to me.
When I switch it to vibrate like that, the notifications, alarms and media are all still at max volume.
