Hello all,
Searched for this and didn't quite see anything about it. I'm running UnNamed 1.2.0 and have noticed that all notifications volume except the ringer drops to very low levels out of nowhere and for no apparent reason. I check the volume in settings and all are at max. Sometimes it seems this is triggered by a text message... The only way I can restore volume is to "clear memory" in running applications. Wondering if anyone has experienced this and could shed some light as to what can cause this.
Thanks!
What audio player do you use? I noticed that if in poweramp, I didn't have Pause on notifications enabled, the notification volume was much lower.
Using the stock music app and google music. Checked for settings but can't find what you refered to.

Hi guys,
I too have the text message problem when ever i browse or send or receive the text message in my phone i get bell type of sound apar from notification sound. I think there is a problem in text message as it was modified.
Turns out is not the volume that drops but somehow the sound comes out of the ear speaker instead of the speaker in the back of the phone. Maybe someone can post this in the development section?

Hi all.
I noticed some weird "incoming call" volume behavior with my SGS2.
I set the volume to the highest. First 2 seconds when someone calls me, the ringer tone is very low, then it becomes very loud (to the setting I put it). I have a MP3 that has the same volume through out the whole song, but the first 2 seconds of the song are very low.
Does anyone know what this could be?
I'm running a unrooted KF3

It's the standard "increasing ringtone" behaviour. I know quite a few people don't like it (I do though) so there could well be a modified version floating about.

It's called ascending ringtone and it is normal on the SGS2. You can flash a custom ROM that removes it or there might be a way to remove it on an unrooted phone.
Thank you guys for the quick and good response.
It's silly though to not have a option to turn this on/off in the "Sound" settings.
If anyone knows a way to turn this off without rooting or flashing a custom ROM, please let me know.
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?

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
Is there a way to make the ringer and notification volumes to be linked together so they both change to when I use my volume buttons? The buttons only change the ringer volume and I want it to change both ringer and notification volumes together.
I tried Quick Settings from the Play store which I have used on other phones to "link" the volumes. But it doesn't do that on my SGS3. I have tried a couple other apps that say they do that, but again they don't link the volumes together on my SGS3. Anybody know how to do this?
Having trouble with AudioGuru (paid). It doesn't seem to effect the volume either. Alert function not adjusting the alert.
More details.
With the Alert Notification sound set in GoSMS, the phone Alert Notification sound is different. AudioGuru only shows the Phone Alert Notification sound not the GoSMS Alert Notification sound. When muting the AudioGuru 'Alert' only the Phone Alert Notification sounds is muted. The GoSMS Alert Notification sound is not effected thus not muted etc..
I hope we find a fix to this. I'll be checking back but I too would like both these sounds to be at the same level. Thinking I had my phone on silent and then getting slammed with a notifcation ring is not what I intended.
Wait.. they aren't pre linked?

I will be watching this thread too. I have tried many apps on the market that said it could link ringer and notification sounds, but none of them worked. Hopefully there is a workaround for this. When I turn my volume all the way down, I assume it will make no noise. Then I had my email sound go off at 3AM when I was sleeping. Not what I wanted at all. Many phones have this option in the sound settings, so I don't see why Samsung couldn't have put that in here.

^^^ This.
I've spent the last day un-TouchWiz'ing the phone as much as possible (replacing apps with AOSP ones, launcher with Trebuchet, etc) but this volume thing is driving me batty.
I have been able to get the ringer and officiating sounds to "link" using the Go Switch widget. It works all the time when you open the widget and check the box to link the two and adjust the volume while the widget is open but Ive also got it working otherwise but this is spotty.
Yes! i would love to have the 2 linked. When I first got the phone I couldnt figure out why the ringer was so low and the Notifications were so loud.
I saw a couple of posts in the Beans Rom thread about the sound for notifications seeming to be stuck at full volume, but I couldn't find a solution. Has anyone determined a solution to this? I have already tried changing the speaker settings via STweaks while using the Perseus kernel.
I'm also having a problem with notifications (both vibration and sound) not going off for the stock email app (microsoft corporate exchange email account). They don't ever go off, but I do get a blinking notification light.
Thanks for the help!
up.
Same issue running Beans build 7.
The notification volume slider does two things.
Sliding it left puts it in silent but moving it one tick right and text message notifications are full volume.
I changed my sms tone to something not so loud. Temp fix..
