Volume question and keyboard question - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a setting somewhere I am missing to make the notification volume the same as the ringer? It is so annoying to have to change both each time.
Also I know I have been away from android for a little while, but where is the setting to calibrate the keyboard? I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Favorite Forgotten Feature?

Pretty certain mine is the ability to swipe the notification bar left to right to adjust the brightness (assuming the auto-brightness is off).
So, whats your fav lost feature?
I know I have posted a lot of these in the tips/tricks, but its been a year.. some are old and forgotten. Could be new to people. Maybe there are new Tricks since I made that guide.
Holding the menu button on the xda app to get the search feature lol
Edit : not working 0.o

The thing with numbers I think its called dial pad but you put in a sequence of numbers and you can actually talk to your friends. That's pretty cool.

Hold upper-right corner (around clock, battery, signal icons) - the screen brightness goes to 100%
Swiping the letters to get specific artist names in songs to the music player. Swipe it while swiping it and you'll get and even more in depth search..

Long press of back button to quickly back out of several pages. Handy on XDA app as well as browser.

Solution for volume buttons?

Hi all.
I have noticed with my note that the volume button... mostly the down... are so simple to hit without knowing. Is there an app or some setting that allows me to lock volume up, or make it less responsive?
Thanx.
Zeddock.
Ps. Sorry if in wrong forum

Screen brightness increase

I was wondering if anybody else has this issue, I keep my phones brightness at 50% but when i open the stock browser it increases it to 100%, it's not a horrible thing (other than burning my corneas out) it's just annoying. Anybody else have this problem, or am I special :/
If I helped you... Thank me... Its quick and helps!
Stock browser has brightness setting in menu that overrides system brightness.

I use Smart Profile, which automatically adjusts the brightness according to the time of the day. But yes, very randomly I got this problem of 100% brightness when I change something else. Pressing power button once to sleep and and again pressing it to wake, solves this problem.
Happens once a day or once in alternate days. Not a big deal so not looking for any solution for the minor thing.
Guys. While in browser, open menu, scroll to bottom and you will see "brightness".

My stock browser (named Internet) is disabled. I use chrome.
EDIT: Lol, even I enabled it after long time, the icon does not appear. May be a restart required. Will check later.
Thanks for your help guys! It was really annoying... And I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue!

[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
