Hi guys,
Is there a faster way to pull up the volume levels of the phone without going settings -> audio -> and then selecting it.
I want to be able to change text message sounds, etc at night when it gets quieter. thanks

Silent mode widget toggle? It'd take up a 1x1 spot on your homescreen and would allow you to quickly change profiles. I use one I created from Widgetsoid, but any of them on the market should work.
Audio manager is a free app that lets you adjust the volume of every mode independently. Gives you a nice widget too.

hmm ill look around but wouldnt that make everything completely silent? i just want to turn it down
I have the pro version and you can adjust everyting as loud or quiet as you want. I assume the free version does as well. Download it and see. If it's not what you want, uninstall it.

quite disappointingly windows phone doesnt want to let you change sms...recently flashed Chukys rom and the dev had the sms tone changed...
was wondering was there an app/way to change sms ringtone without much bother?
Thanks
i am not sure if this is what you're looking for, but if you want to change SMS ringtone in HD2, go to settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification Sounds -> New Message and there you go. Hope this helps.
You could always navigate to Notification Settings to change your sms ringtone.
If you want a custom ringtone, place the mp3 file in 'My Ringtones' folder in your DEVICE memory, and you can select it from the same settings as above.
You can also put them in My Device/Application Data/Sounds. When you go to Sounds & Notifications they will be in the drop down menu along with the other hundred sounds I routinely delete with every ROM flash, lol.

hmm you forgot to notice that you have to long press on sms
lol ive been messing around with it for so long and never thought to long press on it
Thanks to replies
EDIT: Lol theres a severe fault in the system it runs upon...u press on the phone u read the message and the phone still rings...lol bit of a fail there
I have recently moved to an S3 after years in iPhone land. Its been mostly great, the S3 is a way more open and powerful platform. However a coupe of small things are driving me nuts.
All I want is my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time for incoming calls. Vibrate and play a tone when an SMS is recieved and neither vibrate or play a tone when an email is recievied (but still pop up the icon in the notification area). Seems simple enough, but it appears to be impossible on the stock phone. The only setting covering vibration in the Sound menu is "Sound and Vibration" but if I tick this the damn phone vibrates for all notifications, even if I have the notification sound set as "Silent".
The most frustrating thing is that is seems vibration settings per app used to be there in the S2, but have been removed in the S3. Now the Messaging and Email Apps do not have a specific vibrate option, rather it is all controlled with the global "Sound and Vibration" option.
My other annoyance is there is no easy way to control the brightness from the notification area (with out installing a crappy app). Once again it appears the S2 had a slider right on the notification pulldown, but for some reason this was removed?!?
I have used up all my Google Fu and have no answers. Can anyone suggest how to do these seemingly simple things in the stock rom, or suggest an app or even rom that has these features.
Thanks.
try this....
Setting > [email protected] > ringtone &vibrate

You can fix that in the messaging app settings. Messaging -> Settings -> Notification Settings. Tick Notifications and then select a ringtone. If it is still not working then its a bug, try rebooting the phone.
Regarding brightness control, try the app Quicker in Google Play

Thanks for the suggestion.. it gets quite close to what i want if you use the status bar shortcut. Just wish it could put the slider *right on* the status bar.
I think that saying it's a mess is a bit melodramatic. I have mine set up exactly as you describe. Maybe you need to play with your in-app settings a bit more ...

Is anyone else having problems where your phone freezes for a few seconds when you recieve a sms while the phone is in use?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
If i were you i'd do a factory reset.
Before i got my phone i had heard issues where notifications either wouldnt appear or would appear even when there is no text and various other issues regarding sound etc
So to make sure i didnt get any of these issues as soon as i got my phone i didnt a factory reset straight away and i haven't had any issues.
I've set my phone to silent and vibrate. The SMS notification vibration duration is annoyingly long on the S3. Is there a way to shorten it?
I use volume control + pro, and everything is good.... Give it a try

I have exactly the same problem. Since i get a lot of mail every day, it's annoying to have vibration enabled, but disabling it in global settings disables it also for SMS :/ I don't think there is a way right now to leave it enabled for SMS only.

Same here, I set up mine almost exactly as he describe and no problem at all.
So after all this discussion, has anyone figured out how to disable just the vibrate alert for the stock email app? I still want notification in the taskbar, just no vibrate.

No problems at all. As has been said, you need to set your notifications in the in app settings, not the general sound settings on the phone.
To start, go into the phone settings and select sound, and then for notifications set it to silent. Leave sound and vibration as checked.
Then use your in app settings to set you sound and vibration for notifications. I haven't used the stock email app, I use the gmail app. You have to go into the settings for each individual app, but you can set a custom notification sound and vibration for each account. I tested this with two of mine, having vibration on for one and off for another then sent some mail. It vibrated for the account with vibration on, and did not vibrate for the one with vibration off.

OK, just out of interest sake I set up an email account using the stock email app and while it does have custom notification settings for each account, it does not give you the option to disable/enable vibration. So, to me, it appears you can not turn off the vibration in the stock email app without turning it off for the whole phone.
I would assume your only choice would be to use a third party email app if this is important to you.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I'm on stock everything and it works fine. Only thing I had to do is install an app to get some specific mp3 ringtones I had made. But I do have the option for different types of vibration for different contacts or groups, the silent mode works and the custom vibration also works.

1. Pull down the menu where you see notifications and can switch wifi gps etc. Off.
2. Enable the notifications by scrolling to the right and finding the ( ! ) logo.
Vibration is now activated again. Had the problem myself my girlfriend kept asking me how
How can I solve this?
The normal behaviour is to control the volume of media with the Bluetooth headphones, but with the Mate 20 Pro it's independent, so you have to adjust 2 volumes!
How can this be possible?
Samsung gives the option to change this, Pixel 2 XL also doesn't work like this, same thing for iPhone, OnePlus....
Can it be changed? Is there an app for this?

The other things that bothers me a lot is that you can't get rid of the "displaying over other apps" notification.

you mean the notifications that pop up on top of the screen or there is a notification that says "displaying over other apps" that you can't slide away?
I think there is an adb command to get rid of all pop up notifications (but not sure if still works on android 9.0), it will still vibrate/make a sound and the icon of the notification would appear on status bar.
If it's the second there is an app NCleaner to block unwanted notifications per app but not sure if that is a system notification or something that if you block would block other wanted notifications.
EMUI is flat out terrible...
Lots of these things can be solved. As for the bluetooth volume, oh boohoo you have to use two volume sliders?
The displaying over other apps can be removed like every other version of android. Slide it across, press the settings icon, and turn off the notification.

Quite honestly I'm ok with multiple volumes. Why? Because when I go from one device such as my xb950 to my car, they use two different volumes. I just wish I could have ring ton and notification tone control
same here, lacking the setting to control ringtone and notification volumes independently ....

And also is it just me or is the bluetooth music quality really poor. I have good headphones and they sound like their 12 dollars. I did come from sony though
Why the hell does this change all the time?? Every damn time I want to change the sound notification it's either moved or I can't find it and it turns into a 20-minute ordeal to find it every single time. Where in God's name can I change the sound notification for the Twitter app? It's not inside the Twitter application unless it's very well hidden. It's not under aps inside the settings. Where does this always get moved and hidden??

I would first check in the app itself. If the app has no option to set a special notification sound, you may have to use the system's notification sound.
Settings - Sounds and vibration - Notification sound.
Two questions about this phone to which I haven't yet found any solutions.
I'm unable to see lock screen notifications, or, in fact, anything on the lock screen. I've gone through all the settings for lock screen, notifications, clock, display, , always on display, and app permissions with no change. While I prefer using Nova Launcher, the results are the same using the Samsung default launcher.
My old phone had a setting where alarms only would sound so I didn't mistakenly silence the alarm clock. I've used AlarmDroid for years and want to continue using it but the alarm doesn't sound if ithe phone is set to vibrate only. I don't want or need to hear alny other notifications when I'm supposed to be asleep. I've been through all the sound settings for the app and phone and can't find a way to have only AlarmDroid use sound when nothing else does.
All suggestions or solutions welcome!

It seems like alarm droid is being put to sleep by the battery optimization, have you tried disabling that?
Update: New SIM card fixed the blank lock screen, but even though notification details are supposed to show, lock screen only shows icons and number of notifications per app, up to 4 apps. Tested Samsung's launcher with no different results after new SIM card.

Yeah, I did disable battery optimization on it. Wish I could get the sounds to work just for alarms, but I guess that's not an option..
Lock Screem -> Notifications (touch the the word, not the toggle) -> Details. You can also activate notification on the Always on Display there, but only icons will be visible. If you want more info on the AOD, you'll need an app like "aodnotify" or "Always on Edge". I use "aodnotify because i only want a notification LED thing.

For the alarm issue, just use Google Clock app. Works flawlessly, but just remember to remove it from battery optimization.
