Call Volume on, Notifications vibrate only - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I wanted to know if it's possible to have to phone in a Vibration mode, where only the Call Volume is normal.
When I'm at work (and my phone's on the desk), I want to hear if someone is trying to call me, but don't want the table always vibrating if i get a text or a message in whatsapp..
I do know that in Sound Settings you can have different levels of the volume on different things.. but it doesn't let me turn it to vibrate except the call volume..
thanks for your help

Which option in sound increases voicetalk volume?

Hi everyone,
Just wondering which sound setting controls volume for voice talk notification? When I do driving mode and a call is incoming, the volume is really low. I set my ringer volume on the lowest (one bar up from vibrate mode). I'm guessing this is it... but can anyone verify?
I'm at work now so didn't want to disrupt people by my phone going off figuring this out.
Thanks!

[Q] Vibrate goes back to normal ringtone after a call is received.

My wife has a Rezound, stock. I feel 90% sure we're just missing something that an easy explanation would fix.
Here's the issue:
Wife is in a meeting so sets phone to vibrate.
Call comes in, she steps out of the metting to take it
After hanging up, the vibrate setting automatically returns to default, that is, ring out loud.
She wants it to stay in vibrate mode, but calls (or texts) automatically reset the ringer back to audible, rather than vibrate
My request: Any guess as to why this is happening? Any idea as to how she can keep it on vibrate, until she resets it back to normal ring?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] S3 Sound Mode Issues

Hey I am having some major sound issues with my device. The only changes I have made are rooting it. Sound modes seem to have no effect on volume sliders. When the volume is on and if I go to vibrate mode or silent mode, nothing happens. All the volume stays on and will continue. I tried bypassing the issue by installing volume control + with no results. Volume sliders were not changed by the app either. Anyone else have this issue, any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks
Update: Resolved, there was something wrong with the root package I used the first time. I used a new one and all is good.
Afaik 'silent' only applies to alerts and notifications such as the phone ringing on incoming calls. It does not apply to the multimedia volume.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The issue includes notifications and ringtone. They both continue to play at normal volumes in silent and vibrate mode.
Changing to cyanogenmod fixed this issue for me.

[Q] Avoid accidental mute disabling

Hello,
S3 is my first smartphone ever, so please be patient
Since I'm a student, I put my phone on mute during the classes (through the notification bar).
However, it happened to me twice now that accidental touch on volume up hard key took me out of mute. This is of course undesirable... Is there a way to disable this function of volume-up key?
I want to remain muted until I cancel it on notification bar.
Thanks!
bump... can anyone help?
Sad....it remains a big drawback of the android phones that we cant make different profiles for volume like Nokia phones......
I think you can only do this by finding a tone with no sound and setting it for all the alerts manally from sound setting before entering your class room
anyhow this is a good question and hope some devs can desable vol- button for enabling full vol. back
Thanks...
but modifying it manually at the beginning of each class, then again at the end, is not very comfortable.
Perhaps it can be fixed with a mod? something like that:
- clicking volume up if phone is not muted increases the volume, as usual.
- clicking volume up if phone is muted doesn't do anything.

[Q] Stop the vibrate when changing sound profiles...

Hi,
First time poster and I registered just to see if I can get this question answered. My issue is that I really hate that when I change from sound to mute via the vibrate icon in the pull-down taskbar that it actually vibrates. I also hate that it vibrates when I push the volume putton down towards mute.
If im lying in bed with the Mrs and not wanting to wake her while I browse my phone i want to be able to go from sound to mute and when passing through vibrate that it actually doesnt vibrate (I dont need to be told im on that setting). There is an app called mute to do this but I wish I could disable the vibrate when changing profiles entirely. The icon tells me whether it is on vibrate or not without needing to vibrate to tell me I have moved onto the vibrate setting!! Same goes for during a meeting when I am toggling one way or the other i want to do it without making a noise. I know I could use the power button to go to silent mode but I prefer to use the dropdown menu.
With my iPhone I could have just changed a text file or something but I guess its different with android?
So essentially I only want my phone to vibrate when I am getting an alert like a call, text message, calendar alert etc and not when Im cycling through my sound profiles. Maybe Im weird and this doesnt bother anybody else but it would be great to hear if this is possible to hack?
Thanks
David
