After the ICS update, when using the volume buttons to turn up/down the ring volume, the notifications volume doesn't change. before, there used to be an option to lock the two together but it looks like that option is gone now. does anyone have any solutions to this?
I'm in the same boat...this is a huge fail to me!

A possible work around in the short term would be to check out the app called widgetsoid. I use it for power toggles in the notification panel but it also has it's own volume slider option that lets you link the ringer and notification volumes like before.

Is there any way of changing the volume buttons so that it only changes the volume for media? Does any one else here find it annoying that the volume buttons are locked to ringer volume when on the homescreen?
POSSIBLE

Ah, but that requires rooting and flashing custom roms. I guess you can't do it natively then.

No.. It requires remapping of the volume keys! Can only be done with scrips or code and not from the phone itself
Quick Settings

I just download Quick Settings , it's free in the market and you can change all the sounds levels without being rooted.
This would be nice for the xoom something small with color, size, and theme customization. I would do it, but I've never made an application before.
nevermind i just found volume widget and its tablet friendly
Which one are you using? I searched "volume widget" and came up with a lot of results.
Thanks!
Stupid design of Software, I found very difficult to control the volume, 2 hard buttons are not enough, motorola~!!!!!

I love my xoom to death but i wish they would have work hard on this the first time instead of trying to destroy the ipad so quick. If they took time and got everything together they could have blown the ipad out of the water. lol
xoom, xooom
I love how you can tap one of the hard volume buttons and then drag the volume up and down on the screen.
You do realise, once you tap a hard volume button, you can "grab" the on screen volume and slide with your finger to control the volume...
It would be nice if someone would theme it for us...
volume control widget is what I'm using its not that great. I'm actually looking more for something that maybe is in the lower notification bar always there. Root is probably gonna be required for this mod.

yeah I noticed the on screen drag after the hardware button is pressed. I also found another volume widget that you could touch and it would bring up the stock on screen volume control for you to drag

I didn't find anything with the search function, so here it goes:
Whenever you're on the homescreen with your One, and use the volume keys, normally my ringtone/notification volume changes, and I can make the phone go to silent/vibrate mode. If I played a game or used an other sound-using app, close it, and go back to the homescreen and try to change the volume again, it changes the media volumes. It's almost as if the audio process is still running and the One thinks it needs to change the media volume instead of ringtone/notification volume.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? (Or is it a feature, and if so, how can change/fix it?)
Thanks

Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds (you will see the back/home buttons flash and a countdown) and it will do a full restart.
Cool... Someone is making an inquiry about operation of the volume button and you suggested a restart sequence?
Anyways! Try pressing once the volume button. A mini volume window should pop up there should be a button on the right corner. Pressing it will direct you to the complete volume settings window.

Thanks for your reply. Your solution is not exactly what I meant, first of all there is no button on the right corner when changing the media volume. Only when changing the notification/ringtone volume. Second of all I'm not sure I explained well enough what the problem is, so I'll try again:
Situation: A fresh rebooot. When you are on your home screen and change the volume, you'll change the volume of your notifications and ringtone. This is what I want and works fine, when you put the volume all the way down it will go to vibrate mode, or silent mode. Perfect.
Now when I played a few games or listened to some music, closed those apps and I am back on the homescreen. I change the volume with the volume keys but instead of changing the notification and ringtone volume I change the media volume. I can't set my One to vibrate or silent using the volume keys now. This is not what I want, since I want the behaviour as I described earlier.
If I now go to settings -> Sounds -> Volumes I can ofcourse change the volumes I want, but this is more actions than I want to, and apparently isn't necessary as well. Change the ringtone volume there, then going back to the homescreen and using volume keys again, it still changes the media volume, again, this is not what I want.
So the problem is that after playing games/music the volume keys won't revert back to changing the notification/ringtone sounds but in stead keeps changing the media keys.

Doesn't happen here. do you have an exact sequence of which games/music apps you have been using? It possible that one of them is not closing down properly, have you tried going to the app manager and seeing which programs are running then force closing possible culprits until you find which is giving the problem?

After trying to find the problem for a week I haven't come across an particular app or sequence before it happens. Force closing every possible running app that uses audio also doesn't revert back to notification sound changing. I'm out of ideas for now..
Yeah doesn't happen to me either and i'm on firmware 1.28 stock and urooted.
It's a feature not a bug

Try opening Recent Apps and swipe away the game.
Then try again.

I understand this question was posted months ago, but I too am having this exact issue with my One, and was curious if you ever found a solution. thanks
Same thing happens on my HTC one X. Only when i dismiss ALL apps from recent, it reverts back to normal...
thanks

I've seen the same issue with my Moto X now a year later. For me, the only fix has been the same that's referenced above--to go to the recent apps menu and swipe away the app that initiated the switch to controlling media volume as opposed to ringtone volume. Seems to work pretty well for me.
App is still active
Hey, I was having the exact same problem. It just started recently and I just figured it was because of a game (Real Racing 3). Even though I wasn't in the game, I guess it was still active in memory and keeping hold of the media output. I killed the app and my ringtone volume buttons work normally now.
Hello
I own a Galaxy S Advance GT-i9070 with 2.3.6 GB. Is there any chance to set volume notification TOGETHER with volume ringtone?
I mean, I push Volume Up/Down and volume notification sets with it.
It is a hassle to get to the settings and set volume for notifications everytime :/

Try searching for a widget that changes various types of volumes..
In GB, I used widgetsoid to create a shortcut to it.
Hit thanks if I helped you!

You helped me !! Thanks to Widgetsoid , I can put the widget about volumes, and there's an option that says "Use ringtone's volume for notifications".
You deserve a :good: . Thank you!
From previous samsung phones, pressing the volume all the way down will turn into silent. Now i cant do it on my S21Ultra, i have to go the toggle buttons on top to keep it silent.
Anyway to use the volume keyagain?
Press volume button once which will bring volume, tap the three ... and you will be able to change volume there. That's besides the volume toggle in the quick toggles
**actually just playing around, if you go into settings>sounds and vibration>volume> and uncheck use volume keys for media, that will bring back using volume switch for silent,vibrate and etc

Welcome!
I use an app called sideActions. Some of the features are paid, but works pretty well. Allows you to bind actions to press of power button or volume buttons. I use power button long press to switch sound modes and short + long press for flashlight.
