I am sorry to ask this kind of question, but googling did not get me far...
When I use the volume buttons to silence my phone, it goes from the lowest volume directly to the Silent Mode. On Cm7 and IIRC on earlier CM9 versions there was a "Vibrate Only" step in between. Does anybody know if and how i can reactivate that feature again?
Thanks!
is the question so stupid?

You are right.
The vibrate only step is missing.
I can't say is it's a feature or a bug but if you care do much about it, you can upgrade to the latest nightly or CM10 where Vibrate only option is present when you press volume button down

Thanks
nice, nightly it is, then...
Edit: I'm on the latest Nightly now (20120815), but it still has no vibrate setting. Should I make a feature request, at the risk of going on their nerves?

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.
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.

I changed my phone recently, I'm on 4.2.2 and volume control+ doesn't work. Does anyone know other apk what does exactly the some job like volume control+?

By default I leave my phone on silent but with vibrate on. However there are times, for example during school when I put my phone of the desk, where I need the vibration to not happen either.
This is my first smartphone -- my last phone, the wonderful LG Xenon, could do this easily.. It started at volume 7/7 and as I hit the side volume button, it went down to 6, 5, etc, to 1, to Silent + vibrate, to Silent w/o vibrate. On my Samsung Galaxy 2 I have to go in the settings to change the vibrate? Seems a little harsh..
Does anyone know of a way to change it to work as mentioned above? Is there a plug-in (not an actual app please) to make it as simple as that?
Thanks
I use CM9 and I have added the sound icon to my power widget bar (the shortcuts you see once you pull the notification bar). In settings I can choose how I want the sound button to cycle through different options - so you can set it to whatever you want including silence and vibrate only etc.)
We really need to know what ROM you're using. On AOKP it works just like you said, the buttons on the side work like this: High volume -> Low volume -> Vibrate -> Silent
It sounds like you may be running Stock (Factory) ROM. I haven't used that in forever but if that's what you're on, I would highly recommend moving to one of the wonderful ICS roms here in the forums.
I don't use vibrate mode, either silent or normal ringing.
I haven't rooted my phone yet. It seems like a lot of work/learning for too little of a payoff (not saying it doesnt open up a lot of features, just not a whole lot that I'D use). So i guess I'm running the stock/factory ROM, but I'm using GO Launcher
This works via the volume rocker in aokp. Hold volume - until its on vibrate. Press volume - again to turn off vibrate.

On my stock 2.3.4 w/Entropy's DD kernel, it's High volume -> Low Volume -> Vibrate. No silent mode with the buttons.
I put mine on vibrate when it's in my pocket.

That would be because he said it works via the volume rocker in AOKP ROM. Thats Android Open Kang Project. A ROM here in the development forums. Not stock. I'm not sure if there is an app to do what u want. But in either case, I highly suggest u root your phone (its very easy now adayz) and flash a custom ROM. I would suggest AOKP of course. The benefits far outweigh the risk my friend. Good luck and happy flashing.

Since you're using go launcher try checking out the Go Switch Widget. I know you said you'd prefer not to use any extra apps but its really a plugin for the launcher you already use. It has a button option for turning on the sound as well as a separate vibrate button. Its also customizable so you can choose just the vibrate button so the widget would be small and not take up much of your screen space.
Hope that's helps
With Stock ROM, in Settings/Sound/Vibration/ select"Only when not in silent mode". Will not vibrate when Silent selected with rocker. Not option for silent+vibrate in addition to silent only.

Ah!! Ive been using this widget already for individual brightness and battery widgets. In fact i even had a missing space in the row of 4 (I also have the flashlight widget), so this fits perfectly. Thanks so much
Problem solved!
Searched around a bit and couldnt find anything.
What i am looking to do is remove silent mode from showing when the volume rockers are used, much like it was in gingerbread releases.
I would like vibrate to be the lowest the volume goes, with no option to keep pressing vol - until it gets to silent mode. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this, or an edit/mod i can make to get this functionality?
Thanks!
Just realized i accidentaly posted this in General. Mods plz move to Q&A if that is the better section for this
and just to be clear, i am not looking for an app that protects my volume or anything like that. I am looking for a way to physically mod the operating system to remove the option for silent mode when using the volume rockers
Here you go
I had the same problem and this handy app "Vibrate mode by force" did the trick for me.
It only has 2 options but one of them is what you are looking for.

Can someone who isn't an xda noob please post the link for people that find this thread in the future. Thanks.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. Works great. (I have HTC Evo 4G LTE, Sprint)
This is so simple, and so commonly requested, that custom ROMs (I'm lookin at you, CM) should build this right in.

Hi.
I'm actually on null_ rom, and when i'm pushing the volume down key, i can only go in 'Vibrate' mod.
If I've a good memory, on my old rom (Omega AOKP), with volume down key, i can go in Silent Mod.
So, is there any way to activate this in my rom ?
Thanks a lot.
Anyone ?
Is null rom Sammy-based? I'm using Sammy Omega and it does the same. If I remember correctly, CM10 goes silent by volume down. My guess would be that AOSP/AOKP roms have silent, while Sammy roms go straight to vibrate.
Holding power button lets you choose silent profile. Or to your question, you might wanna check out the Theme/Apps forum and see if they have anything there

Hi.
Nope it's an AOSP rom !
Now I use Toogles but the volume down was really super fast.
I don't know why it's doesn't work in that rom..
Maybe the dev opted to use the vibrate mode instead.. can't say for sure.
