Any way to seperate notification tone volume from ringtone volume? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Previously, I had a sound/volume manager app which allowed me to independently adjust call volume, notification volume, ringtone volume, etc...
Now, regardless of what app I use, settings keep reverting back.
Example, I would like to set the notification tone volume to 3/10 and ringtone volume to 6/10. Every time I do this, it keeps going back to default settings and both notification tone/ringtone volume stay the same regardless.
This is a KitKat issue and never did I have this problem before.
Any other way to adjust volume notifications independently and saving the newly selected volumes?

Thank you. Did this and was able to successfully change the volumes independently.
Any option to remove the navigation bar below the screen/full screen mode?

Possibly, however, I was able to allow apps of my choice to launch in full screen by selecting immersive mode in App settings, used with gravity box.

Is there a way to change status bar sound control to "Sound/Vibration/Silent" ?

Is there a way to change status bar sound control to "Sound/Vibration/Silent" ?
Currently it's alternating only between sound/vibration....
I just got my Galaxy 2 days ago and I am unable to set this phone to be silent wihtout vibrating... its really annoying and I wish I had stuck to my Desire HD.

Mine doesn't come with a "status bar sound control". What are you using?

Bit of an overreaction, but okay. Go to settings, sound and set vibration type in there.

Have you tried messing with the vibration settings to see if it turns on silent without vibrate?

Yes, if you keep the Vibration = Never, under Settings> Sound; then the switch toggles Sound and Silent (without vibration)

Your Switch is changed to toggle mobile DATA.
I have a Data toggle when i long press power button. what do you have there?
Just a thought... can you scroll this bar to the left by any chance? May be to reveal the hidden sound switch
Can't help you with the status bar control, but the app Widgetsoid will give you a widget that does it.

My power menu is the same as yours, and no - the toggles in the notification area can't be scrolled left and right. It's just different.
Anyway, I use the SwitchPro widget to toggle stuff that's not in the notification area, and that toggles Sound on/vibrate/sound off. Can't suggest what to do about the one in question though.

Faster to way to adjust sounds?

Hi guys,
Is there a faster way to pull up the volume levels of the phone without going settings -> audio -> and then selecting it.
I want to be able to change text message sounds, etc at night when it gets quieter. thanks

Silent mode widget toggle? It'd take up a 1x1 spot on your homescreen and would allow you to quickly change profiles. I use one I created from Widgetsoid, but any of them on the market should work.
Audio manager is a free app that lets you adjust the volume of every mode independently. Gives you a nice widget too.

hmm ill look around but wouldnt that make everything completely silent? i just want to turn it down
I have the pro version and you can adjust everyting as loud or quiet as you want. I assume the free version does as well. Download it and see. If it's not what you want, uninstall it.

[Q] S3 notifications & vibration controls are a mess

I have recently moved to an S3 after years in iPhone land. Its been mostly great, the S3 is a way more open and powerful platform. However a coupe of small things are driving me nuts.
All I want is my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time for incoming calls. Vibrate and play a tone when an SMS is recieved and neither vibrate or play a tone when an email is recievied (but still pop up the icon in the notification area). Seems simple enough, but it appears to be impossible on the stock phone. The only setting covering vibration in the Sound menu is "Sound and Vibration" but if I tick this the damn phone vibrates for all notifications, even if I have the notification sound set as "Silent".
The most frustrating thing is that is seems vibration settings per app used to be there in the S2, but have been removed in the S3. Now the Messaging and Email Apps do not have a specific vibrate option, rather it is all controlled with the global "Sound and Vibration" option.
My other annoyance is there is no easy way to control the brightness from the notification area (with out installing a crappy app). Once again it appears the S2 had a slider right on the notification pulldown, but for some reason this was removed?!?
I have used up all my Google Fu and have no answers. Can anyone suggest how to do these seemingly simple things in the stock rom, or suggest an app or even rom that has these features.
Thanks.
try this....
Setting > [email protected] > ringtone &vibrate

You can fix that in the messaging app settings. Messaging -> Settings -> Notification Settings. Tick Notifications and then select a ringtone. If it is still not working then its a bug, try rebooting the phone.
Regarding brightness control, try the app Quicker in Google Play

Thanks for the suggestion.. it gets quite close to what i want if you use the status bar shortcut. Just wish it could put the slider *right on* the status bar.
I think that saying it's a mess is a bit melodramatic. I have mine set up exactly as you describe. Maybe you need to play with your in-app settings a bit more ...

Is anyone else having problems where your phone freezes for a few seconds when you recieve a sms while the phone is in use?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
If i were you i'd do a factory reset.
Before i got my phone i had heard issues where notifications either wouldnt appear or would appear even when there is no text and various other issues regarding sound etc
So to make sure i didnt get any of these issues as soon as i got my phone i didnt a factory reset straight away and i haven't had any issues.
I've set my phone to silent and vibrate. The SMS notification vibration duration is annoyingly long on the S3. Is there a way to shorten it?
I use volume control + pro, and everything is good.... Give it a try

I have exactly the same problem. Since i get a lot of mail every day, it's annoying to have vibration enabled, but disabling it in global settings disables it also for SMS :/ I don't think there is a way right now to leave it enabled for SMS only.

Same here, I set up mine almost exactly as he describe and no problem at all.
So after all this discussion, has anyone figured out how to disable just the vibrate alert for the stock email app? I still want notification in the taskbar, just no vibrate.

No problems at all. As has been said, you need to set your notifications in the in app settings, not the general sound settings on the phone.
To start, go into the phone settings and select sound, and then for notifications set it to silent. Leave sound and vibration as checked.
Then use your in app settings to set you sound and vibration for notifications. I haven't used the stock email app, I use the gmail app. You have to go into the settings for each individual app, but you can set a custom notification sound and vibration for each account. I tested this with two of mine, having vibration on for one and off for another then sent some mail. It vibrated for the account with vibration on, and did not vibrate for the one with vibration off.

OK, just out of interest sake I set up an email account using the stock email app and while it does have custom notification settings for each account, it does not give you the option to disable/enable vibration. So, to me, it appears you can not turn off the vibration in the stock email app without turning it off for the whole phone.
I would assume your only choice would be to use a third party email app if this is important to you.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
I'm on stock everything and it works fine. Only thing I had to do is install an app to get some specific mp3 ringtones I had made. But I do have the option for different types of vibration for different contacts or groups, the silent mode works and the custom vibration also works.

1. Pull down the menu where you see notifications and can switch wifi gps etc. Off.
2. Enable the notifications by scrolling to the right and finding the ( ! ) logo.
Vibration is now activated again. Had the problem myself my girlfriend kept asking me how

[Q] Notification toggle button on Jelly Bean?

On my stock ICS ROM there used to be a toggle button that enabled me to hide the notifications in the notification bar. A very usefull feature as I use my phone a lot to show technical pictures to customers and when sms and what'sapp notifications pop up, it doesn't look all that professional. On the different Jelly Bean ROMS i can't find this option anymore. Has it just disappeared from Jelly Bean? Or do i need another ROM? Now using Omega V27.1. Thank you for any advice.

It's there on jb.. Press and hold the notification.. You will get an option to go to app info.. From there you can toggle notifications on and off
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It's been rolled into the "Blocking mode" feature. Open (the main) Settings from your app drawer and you can configure it from there. If Omega uses the original toggles (and not the 15 toggles), you can also configure Blocking mode from the notification bar (and turn it on and off from there).

Apologies for my incorrect reply, it does seem to be removed - the notifications feature of blocking mode only seems to refer to incoming call notifications

Question Separate Bar for Ring & Notification?

Is there a way to separate both ring and notify bar... With root I mean, Like a module or something? I have tried some unrooted ways but as always it's limited to some extent. I heard that Android 14 will bring that feature but I don't want to go on A14 betas. Thanks

This app can separate notification and ringer volumes, although it won't separate it in the native volume menu, but rather in the app itself. Yes, A14 has separated notification and ringer volumes.

I did try the app and other volume control apps. Noticably App volume control. I was looking for a module or lsposed/xposed module to manually modify the system volume menu.
