the built in sound modes that we can adjust from the pull down are: normal, silent, vibrate.
the silent and vibrate work well and so does normal most times but here is what I am seeing.
when every sound level (alarm, media, notification, ringer, systems, voice) is set to something and you start cycling between them.... the second tine you cycle to normal, the notification level goes to zero.
does anyone know where this file is located? I'd really live to make it something static so the normal level is always the same.
thanks so much!

Hi,
I searched the forums and found few threads for this windows mobile issue but no solution or what so ever.
Issue is with Overall Volume settings and controls.
I was previously an IPhone owner and i just recently moved to this amazing phone, however i do miss my Iphone for its few simplicity and user friendly setting options.
When my iphone was use to be in idle situation (not silent) and i use the volume rockers it use to change the ringer lever but it didnt change the media playback volume or in call earpiece volume. And When i was in a call, using the volume rockers would make adjustments to just the earpiece volume without changing any other volume setting. And when playing media it will just change the volume level for the media. This is a very natural behavior as we all would expect from our device.
But with my HD2 it gets really confusing and annoying at the same time that i dont have indivisual level of volume setting for in call, ringtone, and media playback.
I understand that we have the option to seprate the system/ringer volume level but still it doesnt work at it should.
I want to keep my ringer type/level to be at vibrate most of the time and my system to be at full or wtv level based on my preference at that time. But i want my phone to vibrate for text messeges and emails or wtv alerts i turn on. Just like how it was with iphone, if my phone was on silent(and vibrate setting on) my ringer wudnt sound and neither wud my text msges wud sound but my phone wud vibrate on text messages when vibration was turned on.
But with this phone if my ringer is at 0% volumes and system is anything above 0% my text messages wud vibrate and sound. how ever my text message sound should be attached to the ringer volume level not the system level volume.
Scenarios:
1).
System/ringer level same == no.
ringer level = 0%
system level = 50%
sms notification = on
In this above scenario if i receive a call my phone shud only vibrate and not sound. if i receive a text message it shud only vibrate but not sound. and if i play media it shud be at 50% level and my call volume shud be at 50% aswel.
But right now if i get a phone call my phone wud not ring but it will vibrate.(which is good). If i get a text message it sounds and vibrate (not good). media is at 50% level (good) and my call level is good aswell.
i am looking for a solution that would give me 2 things. First thing is to allow me to choose if i want vibration at all or no. And secondly make my notification attached to ringer volume instead of system volume.
i am sure alot of ppl are looking for this solution and would agree that this phone lacks volume settings and options.
thanks

Volume controls
Same gripe here..
Unable to get unilateral volume control on this magnificent phone.
Sometimes, its as if the smarter the phone, the dumber the remedial tasks can be.
Its not the perfect fix, but this is what I have mine set for.
Under Audio and display settings:
PROFILE: is set for normal
VOLUME:
ringer volume at zero
system volume at 50%
RING AND NOTIFICATIONS:
Ring type: Vibrate only
Notification Sounds: OFF on all..
That way, sms and email only display the green light on ear bar, rather then the chimes..
and music volume is adjustable without triggering the volumes back on..
Hope that helps.
You can choose to set independent settings for system and ringer volume control or set them up to be the same with the vol rocker keys. It is available in the settings.
For starters, coming from a Nokia world, I'm surprised that many other platforms(except BB) dont have profiles built in! That's crazy!
So I was surprised to see that the Mytouch4g has its "modes" option.
Using it however I have noticed that you cant really set volume for ringtones and notifications with these things. All I can do is either turn it off or on and change the tone of the ringtone etc based on the mode selected.
That's not useful
I still have to set the phone on silent etc when going into a meeting or going to bed etc....
Am I missing anything?
I also noticed that changes made to the Normal Sound profile stick...as in Ringer volume at 50% and Notification Volume at 25%....
But changes made to the Silent Profile dont..everytime I get out of it and come back....all notification volume levels are set to 0.
What's the point in letting us set it if it doesnt stick?
It's weird. I'm not talking about DND. Seems as though every time I put ringer on vibrate it reverts back to sound after a while. Same with the media volume. I don't get it?!?!?
Anyone seen experience same?

you sure you're putting RINGER on vibrate and not NOTIFICATIONS? they changed the volume controls in 5.x to make it "more difficult" to actually put your ringer on vibrate.
this has happened to me too. haven't figure it out yet, though. I'll put it in vibrate and a few minutes later will hear a text msg notification. Really inconvenient while in class and meetings. Ringer and notifications are linked in volume. if you go to sound and notifications settings it only shows media, alarm, and ring volumes.
I have my phone set to do-not-disturb at nights. I also use the silent mode and vibrate mode when in meetings. On several occasions the phone has played sounds in these modes while not being used.
I play a certain game which occasionally plays sounds in the background when a game ends. For some reason this notification ignores the silent and dnd mode and plays at normal volume. I never had this issue with my previous SGS6 so I was wondering if this a LG or Nougat issue? To me it sounds like it's not the default notification sound that plays but the actual in-game sounds that occur when a game ends which should be controlled by the media volume settings.
Any similar experiences? Anything to be done about this expect disable all notifications from the game?
Odd, never happened to me and​ all I do is set it to silent, don't even enable dnd.

I know in Do Not Disturb you can set certain apps that you want to allow notifications from even in Do Not Disturb mode. I'm not sure about silent mode though, that's weird.
Android 7.1.1 - Kernal 3.18.31 - Build NCQS26.69-64-21
Not sure if anyone else has seen this issue, but it's very frustrating.
I'll start a phone call and all will be good, but after the call is finished, all volumes will be incorrect. I can move the sliders media volume, ringer and alarm to no effect.
What appears to happen is that all when a call is connected, all volume values, except for call volume, get flipped to zero, similar to setting do not disturb. However, when the call ends, these volumes do not revert to their original values and instead stay silent. The frustrating part is that the volume sliders and notification bar give no indication that the volume values are at 0. The volume sliders can be moved up and down, with no changes to the actual volumes.
The only way to fix the issue is to perform a reboot. When the phone starts the reboot cycle, for a split second, an icon will appear in the notification bar showing that yes, it's in silent mode. And when the phone is up again, it is indeed in silent mode, requiring me to manually move the volume sliders back to max.
So there's definitely some disconnect between the visualization of the volume levels and the actual volume levels, coupled with the inability to change the volume levels until a reboot is performed.
I've tried going in and removing all apps from having do not disturb access aside from the numerous do not disturb toggle apps and nothing seems to make any difference.
Aside from a factory restore, anyone have any ideas?
