when I put my SGS3 in vibration-mode than the ring tone is muted, new calls will only be notified by vibration. o.k. so long... BUT: incoming text-messages are further notified by the notification sound!!! can someone confirm this issue? if yes that must be a bug! - every phone I owned in the last 15 years (and I'd a lot different types from different manufacturers) switched all sounds (notification, ring-tone and so on...) off in vibration mode! annoying... cheers Gerald
up - can really nobody confirm this bug?

Sent myself a text message in vibrate mode and it didn't make any notification sound. Did you drop down the drawer and use that icon to put it in vibrate? That's what I did.
Hope that helps!

that's exactly what I did, too! and vibration mode does not mute the notification sound, only the ring tone!
I found the solution!!! this was an issue of the tool "Volume Manager Free". Obviously this tool does any changes in the config of the "audio streams", and since I configured the audio streams inside the volume manager free (so that the ring-stream does also mute the notifcation stream, alarm stream...) - there is such an option in the settings of volume managaer free to configure that - all works fine! when I now put the phone in vibration mode, I can see that notifications are also muted, volume manager shows "notification muted by rington audio stream".... cheers Gerald
Does anyone else have the problem that if you have a text tone, email tone & phone ringtone, then try and Mute or put in Vibrate mode the S3, it only mutes the ringtone, both text messages and emails are still heard. Just found that out while in a meeting
Never experienced this before, any ideas?

No, this doesn't happen to me.. if I put the phone on silent everything goes silent.
Then if you open the volume control settings you can see that the icon for notification is crossed out to indicate silent.
Are you on a custom ROM? And how are you enabling silent mode?

I'm on Vodafone stock rom, I use the notification menu and selected Mute or Vibrate and text/email tones come through. I've even turned off the sound using the volume buttons, but these tones are still coming through.
When you go to volume settings do you are the icons crossed out when in silent mode?

I get either the icon mute or icon vibrate mode set in the notification bar area. I think I may end up trying a full reset and installing apps one at a time just in case one is conflicting.
One thing I have noticed is that if I use the volume rocker and turn it to mute, if you click the settings on the right of it, it shows all 3 volume settings and I think this is where it's not muting the other notifications
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.

Hi all,
Bit of a question here.
I've just upgraded from a Galaxy S3 to the Xperia Z2 and overall I'm loving it so far. It's just such a huge difference. Only thing I'm missing is a screen protector (As soon as I removed the peel from the one included in the box it just seemed to suck dust from the air and became impossible to put on without dust and bubbles being under it ) but overall it's a great experience.
The only issue I have is that, compared to my S3, and compared to the volume that games/videos can reach, my ringtone and alarms seem to be very low volume, even when the volume is turned up to maximum.
Is this something others have noticed?
I've tried several alarm apps, the stock one, Alarm Clock Plus and Alarm Clock Xtreme Free but all of them put the alarm at the same level which just isn't as high as I could get from the S3.
Does anyone know of a way to boost this? The alarm in particular is what concerns me the most, since I use my phone as an alarm clock to get up in the mornings for work. At the moment I'm a tad paranoid so keeping my sim-less S3 as a backup alarm to go off 5 minutes later

Not possible unless Sony updates their firmware.
Needs root to change the gain levels.
me to I've just upgraded from a LG G2 to Z2 and i have same issue the notification/ringtone very low
Hm. Well, for me, my alarm wakes me up just fine. I'm not exactly a light-sleeper, but definitely not a heavy one either.
As for text messages... I do occasionally not hear it.
Darn. Hopefully it's something Sony address in future updates.
I'm looking to avoid rooting at the moment given that I bought the phone Sim-free so am rather paranoid about bricking it.
Same thing for me.. Tried to play some music first then turn on the alarm and it's such a difference! I too use my phone as an alarm and I really can't be late for work anymore Tried several alarm apps as well but no luck.. Hope they fix it soon
i got sulotion for notification sound
go settings - sound - sound effact - than check on dynamic normaliser

Will check this option and share my experience
Thanks anyhow
Any confirmation?
I thought it was the volume security policy used by Sony like on their MP3 Walkman.
Anyone tried with Viper4android?

Thanks, tried it and its noticeably louder when receiving a sms
I haven't tried it yet, but this thread mentions another setting that might boost the volume of the internal speaker.
Will be testing it later today when I get home from work. Don't want to be testing my alarm in the middle of the office XD

Enable xloud as well
low ringtone for alarm
Hi,
In the sound selection menu for the alarm I have the possibility to replay a new possible tone. This is much louder than the alarm and it is much louder when the tone that is emitted when I pull the volume slider for the alarm to the right and keep pressed, which is too quiet for me. Currently, I find no way to set a reasonable volume. Currently, the vibrator is almost louder.
What have I done so far? I tried diffent sounds and mp3s. I have turned off all sound effects. No increase the ringer volume, no EQ, no Sourroundsound, no Clearaudio +, no normalization. The adjustable volume, is whe I use the side-mounted switches -> to maximum. Also the menu Sound settings volume - every sound slider is at max. However, the max volume is also different than the volume that is output when I replay this file in the menu where I can choose the alarm tone. The replayed sound is much louder and enough for me.
Please not a new ROM, I do not want to tinker.
Thanks for your help
Greetings
P.
This sound issue is already fixed on the new FW (.314).
Sent from my D6503 via Tapatalk Pro
No, the newest software .314 doesn't fix the problem. Without xloud and normalization(this helps the most I think) turned on I could barely hear notifications. Now they are the same level as when I play them from notification picker. Which all is kind of weird to be honest. Ringtone is normal when somebody rings me. But level of notifications when SMS comes or whatever is 2 times quieter than when playing sound from notification picker in settings menu.

There's a mod in Themes and app section where you can get both speakers working for notification as stock Sony ROM only use bottom speaker for notifications. This might help a bit
One thing I've noticed with xLoud is that if I put the phone into vibrate/silent mode, then the xLoud setting no longer takes effect when I put the volume back up again. Even if I disable and re-enable the xLoud checkbox, I'm back to the volume I got without xLoud. The only way to get it working is to power off the phone and then power it back on again.

Yea I used the mod before but that doesn't change anything :/ Sony messed up firmware.
xperia Z3
I solved the problem. I downloaded the app Ringtone Maker, opened it in the desired mp3. Click on the Fade and volume and set to 4-5. Save as like new notification and add to the desired application. Done.

I have 3 sound modes: sound, vibration and silent. If I choose vibration then I go to volume settings and ringtone melody and notifications volume are zero. Then if I set the volume of melody and notifications up, sound mode changes to "sound" and vibration turns off... So I can't find the way to set ringtone and notifications sound and vibration on at the same time.
Can you help me to do this step by step?
Thank you very much!
Yes, you are right. It is not a general setup but an app by app setup.
Ex : I use "alarm pro" and for each alarm we can choose type of vibration AND melody for sound. Other app. For notification there are app with more setup than general Gear S sound.

Thank you again but I don't understand... How and where exactly can I setup app by app to put sound and vibration at Gear S? Example: incoming calls, whatsapp notifications, clash of clans notifications... There is not problem for me to do app by app, but I can't find the way to do this...

But I'm not talking about Gear alarms. I want to use sound and vibration at incoming calls and notifications of my paired phone like whatsapp, SMS, and so on... Is there anyway to configure this? There is no way to set sound and vibration at the same time,it is it? How would you use sound and vibration of incoming calls or whatsapp notifications? Thanks again.
i use this app i get the vibration and sound
