[Q] Change notification volume on stock rom - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I would like to change notification volume (not ring)
I am on stock rooted rom with Franco kernel.
I use light flow app and widgetsoid, both have option to change notification volume only but it doesn't work. My notification volume doesn't change.
Any idea how to change this?

There is an app in Google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ta.volumecontrol
that will change every volume level without root!

Yes, but this and other apps like this in Google Play change both ring and notification volume.
If I set notification volume for example to 3/7, then ring volume automatically set to the same value

That's what I found, even when the app lets you set the volume levels separately. Missed a couple of calls until I saw an incoming call notification on the lock screen.

Using the phone volume with the notification ?

Currently, all notification sounds are using the system volume; the same volume the apps are using.
My problem being: I tends to have turn off the system volume due to some apps which are too noisy In which case I won't here the notifications anymore (such as: alarm, reminders, new mail...).
Is there a way to setup the phone such as it will use the phone volume instead?
I don't know. But in settings/clocks&alarms/more you can get the alarm to sound even if the device is set to silent/vibrate. Don't know if you know that..
Actually, I didn't know. On my device the flag is set by default.
The interesting part is: it must be possible to do the same for the calendar event and some notifications.

How can I listen to music and stay in VIBRATE mode?

Hi,
I recently switched from a WM standard phone (snap - non touch screen) to the HD2 - big move
One thing that I am confused about is that if I put the HD2 in "VIBRATE" mode, the volume is set to 0, so when I try to play some music using my stereo headset, I need to bring the volume up to hear it.
But, as soome as I bring the volume up, the HD2 switches out of vibrate mode
With my non-touch screen phone, even when you were in "Vibrate" mode, you could listen to any multimedia app you wanted, and still any notification (SMS, New Email, voice mail, etc) would still just vibrate and not make a sound.
How can I EASILY get the HD2 to stay in VIBRATE mode and listen to music without having to modify each "notification" manully one-by-one to just "VIbrate"?
Any ideas?
i vaguely remember (currently stoned! ) that this is indeed possible and that i used to do it on my HD2...
i'm currently using android 24/7 for the past 2+ months so can't boot back to WM to confirm what i remember.
i believe i had "ringer" and "system" volumes set to show as separated from one another on the big grey volume control screen. the setting to toggle splitting the controls is somewhere on the Sense settings' tab.
so i would keep the volume down pressed all the way so that the phone would switch both volume controls to vibrate (the sequence was highest volume->lowest volume->silent *(i.e. no vibrate either)->vibrate). then i would switch to the "system" tab of the volume control and drag it back UP. so the "ringer" tab remained on vibrate and the "system" tab got the volume it needs to play music, or what have you.
i suppose this would silence the notification sounds as well because i vaguely remember another setting that makes the notification sounds follow the "ringer" volume as opposed to the "system" volume. but if the notification sounds follow the "system" volume, then you would still hear them during the music playback...but i find that prospect useful as well, so maybe it was designed that way and i don't remember properly?!?
so yeah, whatever

If you could remember that setting that would be awesome, I like how Android handles notification and system sounds. I would prefer to have the ringer and notifications together and then multimedia sounds separate, any hint where to look?
you need settings....., sound + display....
then set "single volume" to off.
your volume control should now have two tabs for ring and system volume levels.....
even after they are seperate and he has the ringer turned down, his texts and other notifications will still sound because they are systems sounds right?

Yes notification sounds are linked to System volume, the OP, and myself for that matter, are looking to have the notifications linked to ringer volume like it is in Android so that system volume is delegated to multimedia and such. I was always under the impression that this was a limitation of Winmo but now I wonder if it's in the registry to change that
regarding my post above, i have a feeling that i am incorrectly stating that the "notification volume follows ringer volume" feature is present in WM as well.
like i said in the post, i can't remember properly and so take the post with a grain of salt. apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Haha it's all good. Yeah I was just hopeful is all, it would be nice if it was a part of the registry but I am thinking that is a core functionality of WinMo

High Message Notification Tone

I am sorry but I searched and couldn't find any relevant info:
Is there any way to make the message notification sound full without always keeping the system volume to a 100% ?
I dont see the point of having Notification tones linked with system volume.
Shouldn't it be more related to a ringer volume. I am using Dutty's HD V16 COM3 Rom...!!
thanks....
Yeah unfortunately the sms notification is not with system volume. Best solution is one volume setting and not dual.

[Q] Notification Volume

So I've run across an issue that is quite bothersome to me.
is there no option to make the notification volume change with the ringer volume?
I haven't found the setting anywhere and on both my old htc and samsung devices there was an option, does lg not have one or am I missing it?

If you press the settings cog in the volume slider in the notification Window it let's you change volume for a bunch of different things, I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for.

No, I know how to change the volume.
What I'm looking for is a setting to make the notification volume change at the same time as the ringer volume.

Gotcha, I haven't looked too hard at that, I will take a look when I get a few minutes.
I'm sure there's an app that let's you do this. Have you checked the play store?
Nothing that I've found works so far

Separate notification volume from ringtone?

This is the main thing that annoys me on this phone, there is no separation of the notification volume from the ringtone. I tried multiple apps on the play store, none of which worked correctly.
1. Set all notification sounds to none
2. Lots of apps still play sounds, wtf
3. Go into each app and turn sounds and vibrate off
4. Google apps still play sounds, wtf
5. Go into each google account, per app, and turn off sounds and vibrate off
6. Sounds still play from "system" events like plugging in the phone, unplugging it, turning mute off, etc
I would like no notification sounds ever anywhere anytime.
When you get any notification from this application that annoy you,pull down notification bar,hold long press on notification and chose more options,and you have many with options to:
Turn off on sound
Turn on off vibrate
Change sounds..
I cant remember what else have, I took a screenshot shot when I get first notification..
For every app you can set how ever you want

Thanks immensely. That was really helpful. Just continuing my phone setup and tried all kinds of settings but couldn't lose the notification sound. Now it's silent. Ahhhhhhh peace at last. :good:
