increase sms notification volume - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can we do that in stock ICS rooted. Or do I need to use sms app for that?
I can't hear my sms notifications.

turn your volume up... The buttons found on the left hand side of your phone then notice the settings button on the right of your screen (when volume slider pops up) press that and change what you like.

Hmm... only thing I can think of is there is a mod here on xda somewhere which increases the overall volume of the phone...

AT&T Galaxy S2 - Faster way to silence the phone?

On my old Captivate I had a silence option when you pull down the notification bar. Is there any way to do that in default Touchwiz for GS2? Currently I have to go to the sound settings to set vibrate, which is very annoying. I wish more people would follow Apple when it comes to having a dedicated hardware silence switch!
There should be a Silent Mode option if you hold down the power button.
And also if you drop down the notification bar and click on the sound icon it will go to either Silent/Vibrate mode as per your setting in Sound setting. You can just open keypad and hold '#' too to make it Silent/Vibrate. Also you can search Market, there should be a simple widget which will allow a single touch toggle, I had one once, forgot the name.
Why not ask in a forum made specifically for your phone???

Notification volume while on phone call

I'm really hoping there is a fix/solution for this because this makes absolutely no sense.
While on a phone call, the "notification" for text is so incredibly loud (through my headphones) that it hurts my ears. Now please don't tell me to just set the notification volume low because then I wouldn't be able to hear the notifications when I'm NOT on a phone call.
It seems incredibly ridiculous that one cannot adjust notification volume when on a phone call. On my blackberry while on a call, it would produce a soft chime if I receive a message but it's soft and just loud enough so I am aware of the incoming text. With this phone, it screams in my ear! And to make things worse, if I put the phone on speaker or handset, the notification screams through the speakers and the person on the call says what the hell was that???
Is the only option to adjust the notification volume down EVERY TIME I MAKE OR RECEIVE A PHONE CALL... or go deaf (or annoy the people I'm on a call with)?
Please tell me there is a real solution because I can't find one.

I don't want to turn off notifications altogether. I just don't want them going off at the standard set volume while on a call... because it's blaring loud.

I downloaded GOSMS PRO and inside this app there is a setting to set to vibrate while on call... This app is much better than the stock messaging..IMO.

ahh, so go sms replaces the stock messaging system? i don't want that. but i do want the same thing that pj is looking for.
looks like there is nothing that can be done for it pj :-\
the only thing i can find to help you is, goto Settings / Sound / Notification Ringtone. now when you are on that menu, turn your volume rocker down. you will see that the "Notification volume" can go down (or up).
that is all i can find, should help some
Using tasker you can change the volume level during a call and set it higher after...

Ring tone and notification link

How can we link ring tone and notification volumes like in gingerbread? I lower the volume but just the ring tone lowers, I'm looking for both volumes to lower at the same time.
Am I missing something or maybe an app can help

I've tried both versions of this app (there are two different developers that make an app called Quick Settings and they look to do about the same thing) and it looks like it will lock them together but it doesn't...
Im using the Verizon phone. You?
I'm on Sprint and it doesn't work. Tried both apps.

This works as an app to replace the volume buttons but I'm looking to still use my volume buttons. I am amazed that this functionality doesn't exist stock!

Lock the volume and home button with screen off

So with the phone in my pocket and pulling it out I often hit the home or volume keys with the screen off. Is it possible to lock these buttons and make only the power button light up the screen to unlock?
Thanks!
bump i would like this
Theres already a thread on this. The volume buttons dont do anything anyways when the screen is off.

Thanks. The volume buttons will adjust the volume on anything playing with the screen off. Really annoying when I use my phone in the gym and every time I touch the phone I adjust the volume.

Check out the app called persist from the Play Store. There's a free version that'll do everything you need

[Q] Seperate Ringer and Notification weirdness.

I find myself hitting a brick wall in the way Samsung chose to deal with volume control. It seems if you set the ringer off it forces notifications to be off as well. I can't overcome this behavior with Tasker
Does anybody here know how to get around this as Cyanogen may be some time in coming.
Even when u hit the volume key and tape the settings icon and adjust the ringer and notification volume, still does that?

That does work but the moment you set the ringer to off it just disables the notification volume as well and ghosts it so you can't change it. Under other roms you can have a seperate notification volume while the ringer is turned off.
Is there a way to over ride this with root?
I see what u mean. I don't think my s3 did this. This phone does a lot of things differently. I can't get lock screen Short cuts with any security enabled lock screen for example. Seems like "holes" in touch wiz
