when I put my ringtone volume up and down via the volume buttons I don't think my notification volume goes up and down with it. I have to go Into sound settings and move notification volume manually..
is there a way to make it go in unison?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
in apps like audio manager (which also has a pleasant side effect ) you can see all the different volumes there are.
alarm
music
notification
ringer
system
voice
so to be able to control all these different volumes with one volume rocker, it only changes the volume of currently active stuff, in a call, you can set the in call volume, yet not the music volume and while listening to music you will not be able to set the ringer volume, unless you do that either through system settings, an app like audio manager, or by triggering a sound of the category and pressing vol up or down in that situation.
Hello everyone,
I recently switched from a CM7 based rom to Oxygen on my Nexus S for reasons of stability (unrelated to this thread, let's keep this clean).
However, I'll really be missing the CM notification profiles. Always found it weird that Android doesn't include any sound profiles like any dumb phone before did.
So I'm looking for a way to manage different sound profiles for ringtones, notifications and the different volumes (alarm, ringtone, notifications and media) at a press of a button.
It doesn't need to be free (good if it is however) and hopefully it wouldn't take too much screen estate (widget to switch between each? Maybe something in notification?). I liked how the profiles were in the power menu with CM7.
The easier to use the better. I know my way around Tasker, but it's hardly user friendly in it's look. It also needs to override any notification sound. I don't want to hear a billion different notification sounds on a per app setting, I want all my notifications to be similar.
For example, I need 3 profiles:
-Home
Ringtone vol set to max
Notification vol set to max
Media volume set to half
Alarm volume set to max
Ringtone set to Ringtone 1
Notification set to Notification 1
-Work
Ringtone vol set to 75%
Notification vol set to 75%
Media volume set to 0
Alarm volume set to max
Ringtone set to Ringtone 2
Notification set to Notification 2
-Night
Ringtone vol set to max
Notification vol set to 10%
Media volume set to 0
Alarm volume set to max
Ringtone set to Ringtone 3
Notification set to Notification 3
Nothing really too complicated as you can see.
So that's why I'm asking XDA, there's a lot of knowledgeable people here so I'm sure someone uses a similar setup.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

I'm using Setting Profiles. It's way simpler than tasker. I've got profiles for:
- night-at-home: all sounds off when at home at night (wifi ID), only VIP-group callers can reach me
- gym: at gym (wifi ID) AND headphones inserted - totally silent mode, music player
- meeting: matches "meeting" "movie" etc
- offline: matches "flight" and also used as timed airplane mode is invaluable - I always forget to turn it off
- music: starts google music when headphones inserted
Hope this helps.
Tasker full silent profile works great. No idea about free alternatives.

Anybody else finding it's impossible to completely mute the volumes for "Music, video, games & other media" and "Alarms"?
Settings / Sounds / on any sound profile (Normal, Vibrate, Silent):
1) choose Volumes
2) observe or set "Ringtones & notifications" to completely silent
3) set "Music, video, games & other media" and/or "Alarms" to completely silent (also observe that as low as you set it, "Alarms" plays music) and press the OK button
4) return Volumes
5) observe now "Music, video, games & other media" is set kinda low but not completely off; observe that "Alarms" is a little bit higher in volume than that.
6) play a form of media or game or let an alarm go off and yes they are still audible
Is this a feature, a bug or a case of user education?
They are never completely silent unless you switch to vibrate or silent mode.
Alarms have a setting to sound even if volume is silent

I'm not sure I follow.
Settings / Sounds / Sound Profile = Silent.
Launch Cut the Rope
Theme music begins.
Settings / Sounds / Sound Profile = Vibrate.
Launch Cut the Rope
Theme music begins.
Settings / Sounds / Sound Profile = Silent.
Volume / Music, video, games & other media = as low as possible
Launch Cut the Rope
Theme music begins albeit at a very very very very low volume.
Go back to Volume / Music, video, games & other media and the volume is never at the no-sound mark

I see what you are saying and I think that is a problem of design.
Typically, when you set the phone to vibrate or silent no notification sounds like texts or phone call ringers occur but there are apps that override that such as maps, music, and alarms, etc..
Notifications and ringer are governed by the ringer and notifications volume and controlled by vibrate or silent mode also. Music and some other apps are based on media volume which is not controlled by vibrate and silent.
Not sure of a way around that
If you got to your list of alarms, there is a settings menu and at the top it has play alarm when in silent mode that you toggle on or off. That may help part of your issue.

In some of the ICS Roms I've encountered, I cannot chose an alarm ringtone. I get a crash and a reboot. Any suggestions? I just flashed this rom:

Sounds like the Tasker Fullsilentmode profile will do what I need. Will post an update when I get a chance to check it out.

And yes, the Tasker profile does a complete silence.
Running ICS 6.1.A.0.452
I've noticed recently that when my alarm goes off, the alarm ringtone sound increases from low to high. I'd like to have the full blast alarm ringtone again. Any suggestions on how to have the alarm go off at full volume?
I have Any.Do and whenever i usually set task reminders on Any.Do, now the problem is when the time for the reminders to ring comes, the volume is either too low or none at all. My question: is there an app that will make sure that such alarms/notifications/reminders ALWAYS ring at MAX volume.
Cheers
