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.
Android had this nice feature where you can silence the phone between XX:XXam and YY:YYpm...any know of an app that can replicate this feature in WP8?
TIA
Apps can't change system settings in Windows Phone. There is no automated functionality in the OS for this either. You will have to do that yourself in the evening.
Thanks - guess I will have to turn off my phone at night for the first time in years. Or maybe keep it in another room for the night.

When locked, you just press the vol button (either one) and then tap the sound/mute/vibe icon upper right. Takes a lot less time than turning off your phone. Or did you mean that?
And yeah, the app restrictions are still way too draconian in WP8.
I dont get a MUTE option - only ring+vibrate or just plain vibrate...?

I think that is the mute option!
vibrate is separate

Hi DPLOY
The vibrate function is separate. You turn the vibrate on/of in the "ringtones + sounds" settings. If you have vibrate on the button on the volume controls will toggle ring + vibrate and ring. With vibrate off it will toggle ring and mute.

Odd that there are two toggles rather than one three-state toggle for this functionality.

ok thanks
Why not just put the phone into Flight mode? Settings > Flight mode. Or install "Pin it" from the store and you can put the Flight mode toggle tile on your start screen. You can also add tiles for WiFi, Bluetooth and Mobile data too.
if you cant change settings through apps i guess you can also not use NFC patches to set settings
I was surprised when I felt my Nexus 9 vibrate as all the tablets I've owned in the past have never had such a feature. However, soon I realized why because it's more of an annoyance than anything, especially when one of my random apps decided to vibrate in the middle of the night.
So how can I completely disable vibration? I have not found a main switch for this. I seem to be able to disable it app by app in some apps but not others.
Thanks in advance.

I like to know too, went to keyboard setting but I swear the tablet still vibrates.
Very annoying, press an button get a vibration.....
Its in the the settings under sounds and notification and other sounds if I'm correct. There should be an option to turn off touch vibration..

Was having this problem too. Assuming you are using Google keyboard, you need to go to two places (both in Settings):
Settings | Sounds & notification | Other sounds | turn off "Vibrate on touch"
-and-
Settings | Language & input | Google keyboard | Preferences | turn off "Vibrate on keypress"
Doing that worked for me.
If you want to make your nexus 9 silent (no vibrations or sounds) for all notifications, press and hold the volume down button until the device enters vibrate mode. Then, tap the vibrate icon and then u will see the usual bell icon with volume set to 0. Look at the screenshot.

I think, I thought the OP meet Hepatic Feedback .... is that right "Hepatic"?
Type with the Google Keyboard you get a vibration every button press.
Vibrations for notifications I have no personal objections and use them on my phone all the time.

Haptic feedback, but close enough And yes, this is what I thought the OP was talking about also, not the notifications.
Well the question has these words: 'COMPLETELY disable vibration' so I thought he meant notifications too....but anyways...knowledge is good, right?

Yes, what I was referring to was vibration caused by notification, not haptic feedback, which I disabled as soon as I setup the Nexus 9.
I've already disabled vibration in settings but some apps, with no settings to disable notifications at all, still vibrate even when I have the device on silent.
It's annoying because some of these apps may suddenly vibrate in the middle of the night or while I'm watching a movie.
Did you try the method which I had devised earlier?

I did. In fact that was one of the first things I tried yet for some reason some app's notifications (the ones that don't have settings to disable) still vibrate.

Thank you so much this is the answer i was looking for i was turn my nexus 9 on silent but I was still getting notifications vibrating
though the night so i was have to turn it off to make sure I wasn't getting woke up. Anyway thanks a million.
Is there a way to turn down the ringtone AND notification volume at the same time? I despise the fact that I have to turn down both volumes separately in the settings when I get to the office....I'm beyond frustrated at such a simple thing.
Every other phone I've ever had, you simply use the volume rocker to lower the ringtone and the notification volume at the same time.
Nobody else finds this frustrating...or has a workaround?
May I suggest using Tasker which would not only take care of both volumes but also do it automatically for you once you get to work (based on GPS location or WiFi network)?

Sorry, I just leave all of my phones on vibrate only 24-7.

I'm the exact opposite. In fact, the main reason I returned the G4 is because it linked the notifications with ringtone volume.

Why not use the smart settings or tasked to do this automatically?
Its funny that the opposite of this (the volumes linked) was one of the big UI complaints with the G4.
Proof that you're damned if you do damned if you don't. Someone's always not going to be happy no matter what.

it's not JUST work where I'd like to be able to quickly turn down notifications and ringtones....... in what instance does someone want notifications volume up and ringtone down...or vice versa? if you lower one, you'll want to lower the other. seems really silly not to link them.

why would you ever want them unlinked? when would you have the ringtone or notifications louder than the other?

again, it's not OLNLY work where I'd like to have quick control of turning both down
I understand your desire, but you also question why would you want them unlinked.
Me personally, I have a ringtone that is much more aggressive than my notification tone. I usually have them set at their own levels, and when I do want to turn them down, I am usually going for silent so I just use the mute to vibrate toggle. I would never want them linked, and would rather a vendor error on the side of giving me options rather than lumping it all in one basket.
I just did a quick search for an app to do what you ask. I haven't tried it, but you could give it a go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.marextafl.mx.simplevolume&hl=en
Good luck on your hunt.
Since you asked...
I have particularly loud notification sound. Normally it's a good thing since I don't receive that many notifications. However, there are times when I'm out and about and doing some heavier than normal texting or someone includes me in a group text including my mother, 2 sisters and niece.
That's way too much and I immediately turn down my notification volume in that situation.
I wouldn't want to turn everything down and risk missing a call. Just notifications so that everyone around me doesn't stop and give me the stink eye because my phone is going off like crazy. (with the 1up mushroom sound from Super Mario Bros.)
I definitely prefer them to be controlled separately. Having a "main control" that brings down all volumes at the same time is also handy to have but if I had to pick one or the other I'd choose the individual controls.

Ya I like them unlinked too. I get lots and lots of notifications and sometimes I just want them on vibrate while I still want to hear when I get a call. I do this at work all the time.
fair enough.... to each their own I guess
Wait. On the second screen when the main screen is off you can slide from right to left and there's a speaker icon. Tap it to set the phone to vibrate, silent or on. Also, you can set the volume slider in the pull down notification panel. When this is there you can tap the equalizer icon all the way to the right and adjust the ringtone and notification volumes separately.

this isn't just about turning it from speaker on, to vibrate...... this is about lowering both volumes together at the same time
Well. Sometimes I like my call volume higher than my notifications. This is also not a V10 issue. I believe that this is the way Android itself handles the volume controls. The only device I know of that has one volume for all sounds is Apple's iPhone.

Some older android phones had them stuck together... it may of been an OS thing or a manufacture thing. I do know at one point they had a checkbox to unlink them, and man was that a good day.
Android lets you mute during a meeting, which is amazing! Is this possible with S9+? If not, I can use Tasker, but I'd prefer if it were baked in.
Thanks!
Uhm... "do not disturb"?
I use an app called Shush! When you reduce the ringer volume to zero, it pops up a screen that lets you set how long you want the phone to remain muted, and after that time resets the volume to the previous level. That way you don't forget to turn in back up when the meeting is over.

Well, yea, but automatic. My Pixel XL would automatically switch to DND whenever I have a meeting on my calendar.
I am having the same issue. I used to use a Motorola phone and had the settings set so that the phone automatically went into Do Not Disturb mode during meetings that were on my calendar. That isn't happening on my S9+. I am reading the Android instructions that explain how to set that up, but the settings menus on the Samsung vary from the ones in the Android instructions.
