[Q] Volume issues with notifications - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having issues with the volume level on their notifications. I have checked all the settings under notifications and the volume is max, plus changed to different tones. But most of the time I hear no sound when a text comes in. I have not installed that many apps or rooted the phone yet. Am I missing something. It seems to come back after restart but doesnt last long. It worked great for the first week.

Global volume control

Coming from sense and cm7 on other phones I was surprised the sgs2 didn't have this by default.
Is there any way for the volume keys to control the global volume for the phone?
Meaning
Ringing
Notifications
Alerts and so on
I mean I put my volume low not to disturb people sometimes but the volume for the other things seems to stay at the levels selected under settings-sounds-volume
Other phones with various roms had an option for
Use ring volume for all sounds which avoided this issue. Is there a way around this issue? I would use miui or cm7 normally but they are too buggy for this phone right now.
Had my phone volume at lowest above silent yesterday and then got a notification which woke up my baby daughter cause volume for notifications was at 50% in settings.
Not cool
Thanks for any help on this

Right now I have to resort to using apps that make profiles. Which I didn't have to use this old method of changing my ringing or a 3rd party app

[Q] Vibration / Sound Toggle

I am currently an iPhone 4s user and really like the way that the switch toggles between no sound (vibrate) and sound. I leave me phone in vibrate mode for most of the day and in the evening I tend to switch it to sound so I can hear the alerts from around my house when I don't have the phone with me. I am thinking about switching to an android device (S4 or HTC One) and have a few friends that haven't been able to duplicate the behavior of the iPhone. They get sound with vibration or some other weird combinations that wont work for me. Is this a limitation of the OS or is it device specific? I basically want everything to vibrate (Ringer, SMS, Email) with the option of changing everything to sound, no combinations of the two. I also need to distinguish between types of messages by using different vibration patterns.
Thanks.

I've seen several people recommend something like tasker or quick settings to setup a home screen item that would switch all apps to vibrate and one that would switch all apps to sound. Is this something that anyone has done? I really want to toggle between all sound and all vibrations with no combination of the two.
Thanks...

[Q] Losing Notification Sounds

Posted about this in the N4 section but no solution.
Over the last few weeks my phone will randomly lose its notification sounds and vibration and stay silent when i recieve a text message, line message, or email. I thought maybe it was a ROM or kernel issue but after changing both ROM and kernel the problem persists until reboot. I havent installed any new apps since it first began so at this point i have absolutely no idea wth is going on and its very frustrating to get to my messages late due to not getting a notification sound. Anyone else experience this?

I have this issue too with my one v, i found that after i receive a notification that was silent if i tap the volume down once and the volume up once the problem fixes itself by resetting the notification volume

Notification volume does not return to its last state

Hello buddies,
I dragged this issue with me since my S7 Edge I had before my new brand S9+. On the S7 Edge the issue would happen 2 or 3 times in a week. But now with my S9+ it's every single day.
Issue: During my workday, I use the silent mode to avoid any noise at work. When I'm back to home, I put back the "normal" sound mode, but here is the issue, the notification volume doesn't go back as it was sin the morning (generally 100%), it stays at 0%. So everytime I quit vibrator or silence mode I have to manually raise the notification volume or I won't get any sound for these.
It's quite annoying and I don't see any subject about that, I checked all settings in my phone but I see nothign related to this.
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks!
Do you get quiet notification sounds? As all my sounds are quiet. If I play a notification sound on zedge ect... it's loud but as soon as I choose it as my notification the volume is very low. I've reset the phone but it's still the same.
Could it be an app you are using?
Well, it could be "quiet" notification since the volume is at 0%, it's not like the sound picture of notification got a line across. Anyway, quiet or muted, I don't hear them and that's the problem.
For the application idea, I really don't know what sort of application could do that? I would like to keep the wipe data/factory reset as a last resort.
Something seems to be resetting my volumes to different levels. I changed System to 0 and set Ringtone and Notification to match, however when I went into volume again this morning, System was at half and it seems like Notification reset itself. Is there some built in Tasker like function on this phone that might be changing things based on some outside variable? If not, this is a really annoying bug.

Low system sound after last stock update, anybody else noticed?

So I opened up the phone a few months ago and had to update the system. I was about 2 or 3 updates behind, and then after the last update the system sounds are really really low. Wtf? I'm talking about ring volume. Media volume is normal but even if I set Ring volume at max, it's very low, keyboard sounds, notifications, locking sounds. Was this their "**** you buy a new phone"?
