Just moved from an HTC to SGS 2 but one thing I can't work out. When I turn my ring volume down low, everything gets nice and quiet apart from notifications which play at full volume. On my HTC I turned the main volume down and everything turned down with it. Any ideas?
the sound controls are independent of each other.
head to [settings>sound>volume] to change the notification volume.

I've got the latest energy rom installed. Recently realized the ring volume is really soft but volume is at 100%. If I go sounds and notifications tab and click the play button to preview the ringtone, it is the normal volume.
Any idea what's going on? Even notifications are normal volume. Only ringer and maybe SMS. A regedit fix would be helpful... I've toyed around in there to no avail.
Thanks!
Coming from sense and cm7 on other phones I was surprised the sgs2 didn't have this by default.
Is there any way for the volume keys to control the global volume for the phone?
Meaning
Ringing
Notifications
Alerts and so on
I mean I put my volume low not to disturb people sometimes but the volume for the other things seems to stay at the levels selected under settings-sounds-volume
Other phones with various roms had an option for
Use ring volume for all sounds which avoided this issue. Is there a way around this issue? I would use miui or cm7 normally but they are too buggy for this phone right now.
Had my phone volume at lowest above silent yesterday and then got a notification which woke up my baby daughter cause volume for notifications was at 50% in settings.
Not cool
Thanks for any help on this

Right now I have to resort to using apps that make profiles. Which I didn't have to use this old method of changing my ringing or a 3rd party app
I moved to the 3D from the 4G and the ringer, even though turned up all the way is a lot quieter than the 4G was. In fact, I almost never hear it when it is on my belt. I have seen some posts about increasing the volume, but I think they are more related to music playback not the ring tones and notifications.
Also the volume on my voicemail is really low even when not on speaker.
have you tried volume control+ in the market?
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.
i have been using sound profile & simple sound profile widget on my s2 it works fine with any different number of profiles
along with that all the volumes are set according to the set profile
today changed to htc amaze that my mom was using
installed the same app
tried both of them
but the sound doesnt come up
if i keep the sound max. in d profile its jst 20% in the sound volume of the htc so the ringer is tooo low to hear
if i keep to silent mode then all works fine
but if i keep just the ringer volume up the notification volume also turns max. & the message tone are heard
moreover i want to set mute to the message sent notification it vibrates & gives a beep
i hav unchecked the notification in the HTC MESSAGING APP SETTING still it gives soo
seems a lot of bugs are in the HTC AMAZE
