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

When my Calendar appointment is due on my 7501, the notification volume overrides my current system volume and goes to the highest volume setting to remind me. More often than not this is too loud and sometimes embarrassing. Can I adjust this and why is it set up this way.
On the iphone if i switched the vibrate function on the side of the phone, everything was muted, I notice when i put my phone into vibrate if i go to a game its still at full volume, whats a good master volume controller or something of that sort? I see a ton of them on the market
Yeah, only Media Volume is not muted when you use the volume rocker button.
AudioManager I think is good for a free widget.
I use sound manager & the best thing is you can set schedules for the system volume or individual sounds. I have mine set to kill notifications at night so emails & texts don't wake me, but keep ring volume up for emergency calls.
Quick settings...enable notifications being the same volume as ringtone

Phoneweaver - enables you to set profiles that are manual, event, location, and timed based...

Thanks for this...just got it to try it and I love it already
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.
On my Dinc, when I opened alarm volumes there were 6 categories: Ringer, Notification, Media, Alarm, Voice Call, & System.
On the Galaxy S3, I only see Meda, Ringtone, Notifications, & System. No Alarm volume. Of course, when I go into alarms, I see a volume level for that specific alarm, but what I'm looking for is a way to change the volume on the alarm stream mainly so that when I put my phone on silent I can also turn the alarm volume completely off since silent/vibrate modes don't silence alarms.
This was easy on my Dinc - no special apps or rooting required, but can't find any way to turn off the alarm sound on my S3.
In the evening i often use "silence" tone instead of ringing tone which is normally set through the day. I dont like to turn off the phone through the night.
But to set "silence" and back you need to touch screen 5 times: unlock/settings/sound/sound profile/silence
Is there any option to put direct shortcut for Sound profile on my homescreen??? Or is there any other way?
Thanks for helping.

Use the volume buttons when you at the home screen, you can put it to silence, vibrate and the ringing tone (adjusting the volume of the tone)
Thank you for your help. I just didn t think of that!!! It s so simple
While I m here just one more question:
I have a problem of no sound alarm (only visual note) on my Reminder date/time set note.
When I receive sms or email the choosen sound alarm normally appears.
I tried everything, I have set sound alarm also for Reminder but still no sound when set reminder appears.
Do you have any solution for that?

Look in sound settings if your alarm sound is on
Yes, all the sounds are on.
I m thinking a bit there s maybe not an option of having sound alarm for Reminder (only visual reminder)!?
Strange, but I just can t find answer to that anywhere.
