System volume and startup sound

Is there a way to keep the startup sound while having system sounds still disabled? Normally, when you turn off system sound, which is all the little clicks when you push buttons, it turns off the startup and shutdown sounds as well.
Just curious why u want to keep those annoying tmobile sound...
You could theorhetically use Taker to keep the volume on high so it will play the sounds and then set it to instantly mute the phone. That would work, but if you don't already have Tasker I don't see an easy way to do it.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes

I don't have the default sounds, I'm using the bionix rom, which has its own startup and shutdown sounds

I don't think so for SGS2.
BTW, I am glad to be able to set each audio stream to a different volume level.
i have the same problem
i hate the fact i cant have one volume, did u have any luck on it.
Install quick settings 'I've set in taskbar' choose set individual volume' link ring & notification. Now they will be paired when turn volume down/up via H/W button.

I know that can be Turned Off but when I do that it effects Automated systems... Say I was to call somewhere that had one, from my experiences the Automated system wasn't able to recognize the numbers pressed...

so then you want them to vibrate when pressed? if yes in the same sounds menu go to vibrate feedback. rick the box. also to remove sound do as the person you quoted said. as for them not registering the numbers being pressed because its silent I havent had that problem so sorry I couldn't help that.
yup just go into settings and untic the dail pad sound and your set

Vibrate setting changes by itself

I have cyanogenmod 7.2 on my phone and have had it for a while now. There has been this annoying thing that it does where for no rhyme or reason, my vibrate mode setting changes. I have it set for vibrate in silent mode only. I can swap from silent to sound and it seems to change. If I reboot, it seems to change. I'll have my phone on sound mode and when a call comes through, my phone will vibrate also. That's when it reminds me to go in and change it back. This is more annoying than anything else so not really a big deal but I'd like to know if there is a fix.
Thanks for any ideas,
Todd

strange. other than re flashing CM 7 i can't think of a way to fix that since i can't even think of a reason it would do that in the first place
Sorry for the late response, email notice got pushed to spam. No problem, I thought it strange myself. I'll just manually put it back to where it belongs. Thanks

Ringtone + Notification Volume

Is there a way to turn down the ringtone AND notification volume at the same time? I despise the fact that I have to turn down both volumes separately in the settings when I get to the office....I'm beyond frustrated at such a simple thing.
Every other phone I've ever had, you simply use the volume rocker to lower the ringtone and the notification volume at the same time.
Nobody else finds this frustrating...or has a workaround?
May I suggest using Tasker which would not only take care of both volumes but also do it automatically for you once you get to work (based on GPS location or WiFi network)?

Sorry, I just leave all of my phones on vibrate only 24-7.

I'm the exact opposite. In fact, the main reason I returned the G4 is because it linked the notifications with ringtone volume.

Why not use the smart settings or tasked to do this automatically?
Its funny that the opposite of this (the volumes linked) was one of the big UI complaints with the G4.
Proof that you're damned if you do damned if you don't. Someone's always not going to be happy no matter what.

it's not JUST work where I'd like to be able to quickly turn down notifications and ringtones....... in what instance does someone want notifications volume up and ringtone down...or vice versa? if you lower one, you'll want to lower the other. seems really silly not to link them.

why would you ever want them unlinked? when would you have the ringtone or notifications louder than the other?

again, it's not OLNLY work where I'd like to have quick control of turning both down
I understand your desire, but you also question why would you want them unlinked.
Me personally, I have a ringtone that is much more aggressive than my notification tone. I usually have them set at their own levels, and when I do want to turn them down, I am usually going for silent so I just use the mute to vibrate toggle. I would never want them linked, and would rather a vendor error on the side of giving me options rather than lumping it all in one basket.
I just did a quick search for an app to do what you ask. I haven't tried it, but you could give it a go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.marextafl.mx.simplevolume&hl=en
Good luck on your hunt.
Since you asked...
I have particularly loud notification sound. Normally it's a good thing since I don't receive that many notifications. However, there are times when I'm out and about and doing some heavier than normal texting or someone includes me in a group text including my mother, 2 sisters and niece.
That's way too much and I immediately turn down my notification volume in that situation.
I wouldn't want to turn everything down and risk missing a call. Just notifications so that everyone around me doesn't stop and give me the stink eye because my phone is going off like crazy. (with the 1up mushroom sound from Super Mario Bros.)
I definitely prefer them to be controlled separately. Having a "main control" that brings down all volumes at the same time is also handy to have but if I had to pick one or the other I'd choose the individual controls.

Ya I like them unlinked too. I get lots and lots of notifications and sometimes I just want them on vibrate while I still want to hear when I get a call. I do this at work all the time.
fair enough.... to each their own I guess
Wait. On the second screen when the main screen is off you can slide from right to left and there's a speaker icon. Tap it to set the phone to vibrate, silent or on. Also, you can set the volume slider in the pull down notification panel. When this is there you can tap the equalizer icon all the way to the right and adjust the ringtone and notification volumes separately.

this isn't just about turning it from speaker on, to vibrate...... this is about lowering both volumes together at the same time
Well. Sometimes I like my call volume higher than my notifications. This is also not a V10 issue. I believe that this is the way Android itself handles the volume controls. The only device I know of that has one volume for all sounds is Apple's iPhone.

Some older android phones had them stuck together... it may of been an OS thing or a manufacture thing. I do know at one point they had a checkbox to unlink them, and man was that a good day.
