Nice to see another version for HD2.
Can it be updated to Beta2 etc like the above.
Does it have Airplane mode button on first homescreen? - due to Sim Error prob that is prevalent that would be handy along with wi-fi & bluetooth

Can someone tell me why on earth would you want the volume reduced? Either if it's about ringer volume or call volume.
Having used NAND android since day one, ringer volume and call volume were a bit insufficient even at the highest setting so trying wp7 I might say it meets my needs.
If the call volume is too loud, there are 30 units you can use to fine tune it. Why would you want the volume turned down from the rom itself?

I agree, if anything, it is TOO LOW. I say crank it back up.

Volume is take down from my personal reason. It´s a NODO, you can use registry editor and restore volume to original.

SOLUTION FOUND - TESTING -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411317
I'll provide a better tutorial for those interested when im done testing it ;-) seems i can build a custom Framework.jar with edited volume increments.
I'm running cm7 from cm9, I listen to alot of music during the day and night but I find the volumes at the high end of the range perfect but the volumes down the low end to stark.
The gaps between 0 and 1 is no sound and then considerably loud in a quiet environment, is this a kernel related volume incriment or set by the code in cm7 somewhere?
I can't find an app to add what I'd call analouge volume control ( finer increments in DB from 0 to MAX)
Any ideas guys?

not to threadjack but how do you even use the high volume? at a volume level of 1 with my TripleFi 10 Pros is as loud as I wanna get.
I plug my SGS2 into the car and I can't go anywhere above 1/4. It's as loud as my Nexus S on FULL, and same with my iPod touch. the sound output is ridiculously loud.

This is a well known (and annoying because I use a rom that's a CM derivative) issue. I've learned to live with it & don't really want to run a standalone app just to give me fine control of volume levels, however, I found this on my travels recently. I haven't tried it, but this might be a good starting point for apps to try.

Nice find I tried about 8 apps last night, also considered a voodoo sound esque fix but we know the sgs2 has not got the correct hardware.
unless there is a voodoo sound kernel for cm7 out there but all kernels I try with cm7 give me a corrupt boot to the boot logo and then crashes and I have to hard reset.
CM7 is horrid for 3rd party Kernel support.
MistahBungle said:
Since I started using the app in my sig, I only need volume on around 25-30% thru in-ears. Before that I'd have it on 80% or so. SGS2 (maybe not all, could be manufacturing variations .
Thats what i see manufacture variations .
Stock phone stock headphones no sound change apps volume level at 50% is far to high on my phone . Its an original day one released phone .

Supercurio has released Voodoo Louder for SGS2 which also boosts headphone/headset volume (by 6dB), but it doesn't give you that fine volume control.
And as JJE said in his post, with the experiences reported by SGS2 owners on here, this volume issue would appear to be a manufacture issue/dependent on which 'batch' your phone came from.
Click to expand...

I'd like to call that unreliable information, as I never had this issue with Cognation ROM, its only become a issue with the Current CM7.1.
I'd take a look into this but I have no experience into editing the android system short of using command sin Terminal Emulator and ADB.
There must be a scale somewhere that relates to the number of volume increments and the DB output, after all there is a law regarding maximum volumes of devices in the EU and OEM's adjust there in their hardware dependant on Region, so the DB values can be adjusted some how, I just need to know where i can find it.
EDIT : This works on some handsets not my SGS2 !
Dial in *#*#197328640#*#*
Next, tap your finger onto the following, in the following order:
[5] Audio
[1] Handset
[1] Volume
[1] SRS Speech RX Volume
next notice the following defaults that pop up.
[0]0_lvl:63
[1]1_lvl:68
[2]2_lvl:73
[3]3_lvl:78
[4]4_lvl:83
[5]5_lvl:88
This basically means, that your volume up and down keys have 5 clicks, starting from the lowest setting, and click your volume up 5 times, takes you through the sequence of volumes listed above. You can change each click to be a new volume setting. For me 1-4 are fine, I just wanted max volume, which is click number 5, to be something higher. The phone does not let you to put in half increments, meaning 88.5 is not possible. So you have to use increments of 1. Please please do this carefully, dont suddenly jump to 95, you could blow out your speaker possibly. So I tried just 1 increment above 88, went to 89, and perfect, much louder now! okay so this is how you do it:
Once you get the list above, do the following:
Click your finger on [5]5_lvl:88
Next, a screen pops up asking for input. On the bottom of your phone, tap the menu button, this is the button next to the little home button.
Next tap "key input"
Next tap 1 increment at a time, lets start off with 89 so where it says enter value, tap this, your keyboard pops up, type in 89
Next Tap your menu button again
Next Tap "end"
you are now finished, make a phone call and see how 89 works for you, when your volume is set to max
Remember this volume adjustment seems to reset after you reboot the phone. Some people online are saying you can also make the volume higher by playing with the hearing aid settings, I personally haven't tried this yet.

You can call the volume loudness issue anything you want. But given the experiences of people who have posted here over the past however many months, that is what these experiences suggest.
This is what JJE & I were talking about when we mentioned the manufacture thing.
Not the fine volume issue.
Indeed, that seems to be prevalent on CM based roms. I don't recall having any problems increasing volume in small increments for the < 1 week I ran stock firmware on my phone after I bought it.
As I've said, it's not a big enough deal for me to use a standalone app, so it's definitely not a big enough deal for me to muck around with dialer codes. I saw these codes months ago before I even bought my phone, and never bothered with them. The fine volume control doesn't really bother me, I just thought I'd reply to you OP given you were after an app that enables same, and I'd found the app I gave you a link to recently.

That app did nothing, I used it and it gave me the same options as DSP gives you from CM.
The not high enough volume issue can easily be solved in CM7 but comment about that has hijacked my thread, im looking into how we can edit the fine volume adjustment or edit the increments to go from MAX to MIN volume.
Service codes don't appear to work on my handset ( CM related ? ) but I believe the service mode is built into the framework.
My I9100 is running the stock 4.0.3 ICS update that was installed via Kies. Everything I've read says that ICS links the ringer and notification volumes, but this has not been my experience.
My volume rocker only changes the ringer volume. I verified this by installing Persist Volume Control and watching as only the ringer volume changes.
Does anyone know what's wrong? This behavior seems different from everyone elses'.
Thanks!

As I always want to control the volume levels of each media type separately, I am happy that the ringer and notification volume level are not linked.
But I am using Elixir Widget app from the Play store to change the volume levels and save my volume profile(s).
Usually, I do not change the volume level by the volume key.

Does it matter? Is this not core functionality that should be found in all flavors of ICS? No matter how bastardized by the OEM?
Either way, in the Google link one person does mention their SGS2.
Is my research wrong and are these indeed not supposed to be linked?
So... nobody knows?

exactly the same problem. They're obviously supposed to be linked because every single google result except this one is ICS users trying to separate the link complaining they want that feature back
Attached a screenie of my offical O2 kies-updated ICS 4.0.3 volume screen, showing they're not linked...
constantly missing texts because i just use the volume rocker to turn up my phone forgetting it doesnt turn up notifications like Gingerbread used to

Glad I'm not alone... but maybe us 2 are?
GB I have the option to link or keep separate.
I personally prefer separate control over these settings.
Why would you wish to permanently link them?
Could you not simply just set these values where you wish them individually and be satisfied?

How hard is it to turn one or both up or down. Custom settings are what makes a phone individual.Personally i like the idea they are not linked. My ringer can be turn full on or off and my notifications to just a whisper...Perfect.

If I want my ringer to be quiet, I want my notifications to also be quiet. I should be able to do this via the volume rocker, like I can on my One X, and used to be able to do prior to my I9100's ICS update.

It's quite a nuisance if I want them to be adjusted concurrently.
I've read that ICS is supposed to force (or give the option of) linking, which is the point of my thread. Is this only the case for every phone except the I9100?
nice thanks so much

Its not a custom setting, this is supposed to be stock ICS, i certainly wouldnt have chose to have this crap feature.
It now takes 4 presses to get to the menu every time you wander into a quiet situation, and then another 4 when you leave it (not including actually moving the volume sliders).
I personally find that very annoying when there's a volume control on the side of my phone.
Use CM9. Has ability to link ringtone & notification volumes.
Is there a way to implement this on stock Samsung ICS (Touchwiz)? Tried quick settings but the option is greyed out.
Thanks

I've had this issue too. Thought the volume buttons should control both ringer and notifications but they didnt. Im running Caulkin's ICS rom too so that may have something to do with it. Regardless, after MUCH searching and downloading of apps that I thought would do this but they didn't, I finally found an app that did this for me! Quick Settings by Halfbit - note that there are two apps by different developers called the same thing. I didn't try the other one but this one worked.
Strange though, the selection to link the notification and ringer volumes is checked, but grayed out. So guess you have to uninstall the app to change this configuration..

Apparently not. Stock/ota ics for droid4 also removes the checkbox to allow you to link the volumes if you want to. I want to link them as well so when i turn it down at a meeting, i don't get blown out of my chair when i get a text.
Setting everything once and forgetting it doesn't work for a lot of people. For me, i need it quiet at work, then loud while not at work so i can hear ringer/sms sounds over road noise/music while driving, or if i leave my phone upstairs at home. I use moto's smart actions to handle the volume changing automatically (think of it as a gimped version of tasker) but now that ringtone and notification vol are no longer linkable, and smart actions can't control notification volume, i consider it to be broken. It turns down ringer vol just fine, but notifications are still crazy loud. Very annoying. Can't wait for cm9 (or even 10) for the droid4!
This might seem like a silly question...
However:
On my S1, when I hit silent or vibration only, when an email arrives, the S1 doesn't make a noise (or vibrates) ie. the notification (like Haze) doesn't play.
yet on the S3, no matter what I do, be it on silent, vibration or what not, the sound STILL plays.
Am I becoming crazy or did samsung just overlook an important bug?

Did you check all the volume levels?
(Hit the button on the right side when you turn up / down the volume),
I've noticed that (At least in TouchWiz), the media and notification volumes don't always get lowered when you put it on silent.
Also check "System Settings -> Sound" to see if there's anything that would indicate that it should play a sound while in silent mode.
Confirmed, put phone on silent. Started a video, there was sound.
This sucks.

that's not the point of the button that you press for silent.
Or else what would be the point of the button, when i have to manually do it myself?
I'll log this and get back to you.
I don't know about you, but that seems normal, coming from ICS from SGS2 and iPhone, silent means alerts/notifications is off. But when you play Music or Youtube or Videos will play the sound, if you're actively trying to play media then it makes sense to play sound.
Android has always (except for a brief spell) had separate volumes for ringers, media and alarms

that is normal.
But when a SMS is received, on an s2, and you have it on SILENT what happens?
Does the notification sound still play?
As on the S1...and pretty much any phone dating back to the 3310, it remains SILENT
I've noticed this issue also. Silent mode doesn't mute the notification volume as it should. The temporary work around is to set volume manually, but it seems it is a bug in the Touchwiz UX framework.
I for one can't wait until I get either stock ICS or CM9 (maybe JB or CM10 soon if we're lucky, the source was recently released). These little issues are resolved very quickly in a community developed ROM (less than a week in most cases). There is usually a wait of months for OTA updates.
I just pray that AdamOutler can crack the verizon GS3 bootloader to allow easy customization. The International, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint users have unlocked/unsigned bootloaders.
Grab audio manager on google play
Then you set the mute profile for all the sounds you want (ringtone, notifications, player,...) and then you add the widget to your homescreen
When you want to mute, just "click" on the widget, got to the profile tab and then select your mute profile

What firmware would that be, out of curiosity? I'm running XXLFB based ROM and it's still not fixed, been driving me insane.
Not sure this helps if you've already got it fixed but I've been using RealSilent ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.geekherd.realsilent ) as recommended by Jerry over at AC. Pretty handy, but not sure how it works with the stock silent toggle in the notification pull down.
It does however work perfectly with CM9.

Isn't that app for the media volume, not notification?
I thought CM9 came with an option to link notification volume with ringer, so that notification on silent is no longer an issue purely because of that.
Maybe I will try a LG1 based ROM... can't believe Samsung overlooked something so basic.

After trying about 5 different apps including volume +, finally found a straightforward workaround, use the app called simple sound profile widget:
I can't post links yet since I'm under 10 posts, so search for it on Google play.
Really the issue is that Samsung unlinked notification and ringer, but left vibrate and silent toggle alone, so all it does is mute the ringer and not the notification. You'll notice on silent or vibrate, go to system volume and ringer volume still stays the same but shows a mute icon, while notifications volume does not. To fix this you need an app that, when toggling profiles, does not assume ringer and notifications are linked, and also TURNS DOWN VOLUME TO ZERO for both notification and ringer, as I don't believe mute for notifications is working. Simple sound does exactly that, the only thing missing is a true toggle widget since you have to click the widget then select a profile, but it fixed the notification issue properly so I'm not complaining.

Maybe your custom ROM fixed it, I'm on Omega 8.1 which is base on LFB, issue is still there.
Everytime I use Poweramp and, for instance, start using the browser, eventually it turns off. I've tried playing with the settings but didn't have any luck. Is anyone having this problem or knows a solution for this?
Another niggle I'm having is related to the volume rocker being unable to change music in longpress.
Thanks in advance.
Settings, Audio Engine, Advanced Tweaks - Enable Keep Service and Audio Thread Priority too 2.
Never had that problem before with these settings..
As for volume rocker changing songs.. Volume Rocker only changes the volume afaik
My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message..
Thank you so much, the audio thread priority did the trick for me
As for the volume rocker, I used to be able to change track on my old HTC hero. Very useful when I was driving. Anyway, it's just a minor annoyance.

On the Sammy's they only change volume, though give it a couple of months and someone will have come up with a mod to enable long press to change track (just as they did on the S II).

Unfortunately, I'm also having problems again. Strangely enough, it seemed to work for a certain amount of days, guess I wasn't running that many apps aside from the browser and poweramp, so it didn't trigger this behavior.
Meanwhile I changed from stock rom to Omega 6.0, but it shouldn't it have anything to do with the problem, right?
Hi everyone,
I'm a bit more than a week in with the Pixel 6, coming from a phone that has an actual hardware ring/vibrate/silent switch. I miss that switch dearly.
Is there a fast way to silence the Pixel 6? I'm aware you can press the volume key, then choose the "silent" icon, but that takes some time/fiddling, and it DOESN'T SILENCE THE PHONE. Only silences notifications/rings. My old phone when silenced also silenced media, everything except alarms.
Invariably I'm doing something at the table or whatever and an ad comes on at volume. Sure, I can hold the volume down key, but it takes a bit for that to gradually silence the media.
What I want is to be able to double tap the volume control or something similarly fast and have it instantly silence everything (except alarms), similar to how the physical sound off switch worked on my OP6T.
Is there a solution for this? I'm fully stock, not rooted, not planning to root.

Invariably I'm doing something at the table or whatever and an ad comes on at volume. Sure, I can hold the volume down key, but it takes a bit for that to gradually silence the media.
What I want is to be able to double tap the volume control or something similarly fast and have it instantly silence everything (except alarms), similar to how the physical sound off switch worked on my OP6T.
Is there a solution for this? I'm fully stock, not rooted, not planning to root.

Bro I feel you! I'm noticing now valuable that switch was to me as well. I'm literally thinking about sending this phone back and buying another OnePlus device or buying a refurbished item.

There are times I feel I should have grabbed an 8T for $400, but i wanted for once to experience a pure google phone. I knew it was going to be thick and heavy when I bought it but I didn't realize how much I would miss that switch.
That said, I'm enjoying the Pixel otherwise, and am pretty settled in with it. I've made the transition and don't plan to send mine back. This is a pretty nice phone!

Thanks for this but it didn't silence the phone. I was playing a game, an ad came up with loud sound. I tried flipping the phone but nothing happened. Am I missing something?

Settings > System > Rules. Enable and use the "silence phone" rule. It's location-dependant so there is no toggle like what you are used to.
EDIT: For finer control than what Google provides, Tasker or a similar app should work for you.

Hmm. I'm not sure I understand how this is supposed to work. I don't want the rule to start when I reach a location or connect to a network, I just want to be able to quickly tell the phone to silence all sounds (other than alarms of course) at specific times like if I see an ad loading up. And I would want to be able to undo the silencing quickly too.
I went into the rules and tried enabling, but it's all about doing things when I reach a location/wifi spot.
I did double check my gesture settings, to make sure the Flip to Shhh was on... it is... I Think the shushing just applies to notifications and ringing, not media (ad sounds are controlled via media sound level).
Use button Mapper by flar2 and map long press volume as you wish. That's what I've done coming from op6t

I'm sure you'll work it out but here's the setup

THANK YOU
I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief. I set mine so a single tap of the volume down mutes the media volume. Problem solved! And I like the option to disregard button mapper when the volume control is being used manually.
OK now! My biggest beef with this phone now fades into the sunset.
My initial reason to install was torch which I've mapped to volume down. Great app and @flar2 is a member on here so give him a thumbs up
