Notification volume gets turned down - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Once in a while I discover that my notification volume is turned all the way down. I haven't been able to find out what does it.
International sgs2 stock rom
Any ideas?

So nobody else has had this problem?

Try push volume up. For real
What about volume settings? Have you checked it ? There is nothing more that I can tell you according to problem description. Check last installed apps that may have influence on settings or volume ...

It's turned down in the volumes setting so I just turn it up again. The problem is that I can't figure out why it's suddenly turned down. I think you're right though, it must be an app that does it.

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.

Ringer/notification volume changing on its own?

OK I have been having issues with my ringer and notification volume.
I can have it set to full volume and I miss calls or messages because the volume changes to the lowest setting or silent.
Any ideas on why this would happen?
A lot of people are having this issue, and, it is listed in the issue thread. The only 2 things we have come up with is that it is a software problem, or people are accidently pushing the rockers, and the phone is acting as if it is awake registering the action.

Hard to push buttons when it is sitting on the table...
I am going with software. I am also trying turning off the special features like pocket mode and quiet on pickup to see if that helps.
i haven't had this problem yet, but i DO have the problem of system volume continuously making itself 100% lol..thankfully though i don't use anything that uses system volume, so nothing is blaring loud and scaring the crap outta me.

Well, you didn't specify it wasn't in your pocket or what not.
Turning off those features might help. Isn't there a setting that sets the volumes to be what they were on previous use? For example if you pick up the phone and the volume goes down, maybe it sticks like that? Doesn't explain it going to 100% though.
Ok here is my biggest issue that I have found. I use alarmdroid to wake me up and for other routine alarms. I have it connected to beautiful Widgets so when I press the time it opens alarmdroid. When I go in to the app, then exit, it changes my alarm volume to zero. I also use the app volume locker so I know when it is changing settings on me. I have successfully recreated this problem numerous times. Anyone else with this combination of apps experience this? How about with just alarmdroid?

I use plain old Sense clock and alarm.
Sense alarm rocks. It's easy, and wakes me up every time with its annoying ass beeping. I hate alarm clocks. I hate waking up, period.

I 100% believe that I accidentally hit the volume rocker and so I downloaded volume locker and I have not had any volume issues since!!
I would use sense alarm, but I usually run sensless ROMs. So I like to keep things similar. Anyone else use alarmdroid? Anyone care to try it and see if they can duplicate the problem?

It happened to me a couple times and then one time I noticed that the way I was holding the phone when I woke it up or turned it "off" was applying pressure to the volume rocker and changing the volume. It happened so quick I barely noticed it, just saw a blip at the top of the screen once and figured out what it was.
I think changing those settings helped. I will keep checking on it though.

[Q] volume Button

hi guys,
i love the samsung galaxy s2 phone, but i have a question.
Whilst using the phone, i end up accidently pressing the volume button and this can sometimes mean i put the "Notification" or "Ringer" volume really down.
I only want to be able to control such options by actually going into the Settings menu, so is there a way to disable this button or somehow change it's functionality?
BUMP!
Surely someone must have the answer?

I guess so nyssa, but many also still have their mobiles, watching this forum and are still replying to many questions on this forum.
Hey there. Have you even tried searching in the market? The very first app for "volume" query can do just that
Sent from outer space by aliens on tapatalk using SGS2
thanks aj rockwell. That app i believe only helps you adjust settings with volume. I actually want to Remap buttons, so that the volume button cannot adjust sounds other than "IN-CALL volume"
this is so annoying, I was going to open a thread with the some issue. Is any chanse,mod which can switch a default option when we press volume from ringer volume to media volume. many times by incident I turn ringer volume down and I dont hear a ringer.
@ x7 - Halleluyah! At last i find someone who has exactly the issue as myself.
Guys, all i want is some app that can disable the volume button from controlling the MEDIA's/NOTIFICATION's volume. The only way i want to control these is by actually going to SETTINGS>SOUND ...surely there must be an app that can REMAP the Volume key functions?
I agree, why Samsung did this think That you can change volume ringer by pressing a volumes button? This is so silly
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S 2 (80GB)
the only thing we can do x7 is hope that someone on here will know a fix for this volume issue.
I took a look in android market but I havent found anythink
I checked too, but could not find anything. The only one i have seen whilst searching on google, is Button Remapper. But there is no information to say that this app is safe for the SGS2.
Anyone? Help!
x7nofate mate, pls ignore the replies. I feel like such a twat now . It looks like AJ.Rockwell was right...i never properly tried the recommended app and was too quick to ignore it's features.
Download "Volume Control +" from android market and install it.
Once installed, set the volume for all the media/ring/notifications. Then simply goto the options where it allows you to lock each individual type of tone. So for example if you don't want to decrease your ringtone volume by accident, then select that.
Save your settings and you should have a little lock icon in your status bar.
Now when you put your volume for your ringtone down, it looks like its gone down again, right???? WRONG! Since Volume Control+ has locked it down, VC+ automatically forces it back to the "locked" settings. Genius!
Let me know how you get on mate!
PS: If you need any help or just wanna chat android, then PM me ur email and i'll add you to msn/yahoo/skype or whatever you use.
I installed a "Volume Control +" ages ago and I locked in settings but I can put my volume ringtone down anyway so I thought that it doesn't work but I was wrong. It works, thank you very much
Bump! I searched XDA on Google for this exact thread, my problem too. My question is, with that apps reccommendation (thanks for that), does it still bring up the volume OSD? That's my major annoyance, and something that happens to people whenever I pass my phone over to them.

Probably you have a case or somehow are pressing the volume all the way down.
Remember either lowering the volume or power button plus silent mode are the quick shortcuts to enable Vibration mode.
Also when a call is received and the phone is upside down can make the ringing on mute.

In my case Timeriffic was automatically reinstalled from Google Play. the default setting was to set the phone to vibrate at 8PM Mon - Thu. All sorted now.

i had the same problem, you can activate or deactivate this option under settings/sound/automatic feedback
Hmm,
Can't seem to find that seting on my phone, so will have to hope that it was because of Timeriffic.

I know this is an old thread, but all of a sudden my phone seems to randomly switch sound on throughout the day, after i put it on vibrate. I wonder if there's a way to enable vibrate only via the notification bar, rather than the volume keys.
In my opinion the volume keys should only control the current volume, rather than the sound "profile" (mute, sound, vibrate).
Anyway i will be doing some looking into why this seems to happen.
1) you have a case which is pressing the Volume button down
2) Try turning off AUTO HAPTIC FEEDBACK
3) try resetting your phone if all else fails

i have same weird vibrating problems also. I normally set my phone to sound mode no vibrate. whenever someone text me it automatically change the mode to sound+vibrate I've been trying anything but to no avail this still persists.
and BTW I'm using GO SMS.
Even i have been facing this problem with various ROMs..what could be the issue? any help?
S3 auto turns to Vibrate mode
Hi,
For last 2 weeks, i am facing a same problem. randomly few times in a day, message default ring tone rang without any message and after a while (may be after few seconds) it turns to Vibrate.
the only thing new happened to my phone is, its board died all of a sudden (bgr[dot]com/2012/12/21/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-hardware-failure-262887/) and the Samsung service center has replaced it with new board. since then i am facing this problem.
I was using the Nova launcher before the repair, and now after the repair using the same Nova launcher.
Any idea? anyone else facing the same issue? btw, i have turned off the haptic feedback as well, restart the phone also, but issue still persists.
any feedback would be highly appreciated, thanks.

Guys, I am facing similar problem and nothing else is working. I think we should compare notes to find out what is the cause of this problem. Tell me what ROM are you running? Custom or Stock. If custom then which one? What 3rd Party apps are you running that can schedule tasks e.g Tasker, Scheduler etc. Have you turned off Haptic feedback and motion under your phone settings?
My Answers:
Custom ROM Yes
Ripper ROM (Love it and big fan)
Haptic Feedback Off
Motion Feature Disabled
3rd Party Apps Yes
Tasker Yes
Scheduler No
Call recording Yes
I have sam problem with NOTE 2.
Every last incoming call set my "default" sound profil .Depend what I have set ( sound, vibration, mute....) at the incoming call moment.
I found out that AVG antivirus is a problem???? I delete AVG and for now ( two days ) all is OK.
Maybe its the auto mute
There is a feature under motion that puts the phone in vibrate/silent when you "turn it down", maybe that is what is causing you problems? My phone was muting itself with no logical reason and deactivating it did the trick, hope it works for you

Weird subtle ring coming out of DNA

It's happened this morning during my chem lab class. I thought it was one of the machines in the lab until I pulled my phone out and realized it was me. So I thought it was a text bomb or a phone call. My phone exhibited none of those notifications. I then realized my phone was on silent and was still doing it. Changed to vibrate, same thing. Changed to loud, same sound at same loudness as it was on silent. Decided to power off and the beeping kept going during the power down sequence. Once powered down, when I quickly pushed the power button it would beep again. Phone wouldn't power on. Push the power button again and hold it down beep comes back during the power up sequence. Th fix I found was to turn off fast boot and power down and back up. Hitting the restart button probably would have done the same.
I took a video of the issue after my lab class was over. Didn't want to try anything around acids and flames.

I'm curious about how and why this happened. It started while it was in my pocket!

Mine has done that and I have seen other people reporting the same. Maybe network related.
It has happened to me twice .. all I did was a simple reboot and it stoped. I don't know what cause it.

Yep. That's weird.
idk about the problem, but just try disabling fastboot and then rebooting it? worth a try...

What does stock have to do with disabling fastboot? i guess i didn't really make it clear, but i mean the fastboot settings in the settings for stock. The setting that doesn't let a legit shutdown happen i think...just go into settings turn it off and then turn your phone off for like 5 mins and boot back up and see if it fixes the issue...
