I did the recent ICS update on my stock VIvid this weekend by downloading from HTC and updating it through my computer. I couldn't get the OTA to install from my phone for some reason.
Anyhow, the overall volume has increased which is a good thing since with GB the volume was rather low.
I can't remember if the Notification Volume was a part of the Ringtone Volume in GB. Can someone with a GB Vivid check for me? I believe it was a separate volume adjustment.
I'm somewhat annoyed with ICS that there are only 3 volume adjustments you can make - (1) Games, Music, etc (2) Ringtone and Notification (3) Alarms. I want to be able to adjust the Notification separately from the Ringtone. Is there any way for this to be done?
Other than that (and losing my games' progress), I am overall satisfied with ICS.
I use an app called PERSIST | VOLUME CONTROL
its free from the market and allows for volume changing for
alarm, media, ringer, notification,system and voice, it also allows you to lock them (this was my main use for the app, I always bump the volume control as I'm used to the rocker being on the opposite side of the screen)

on a similar note, I'm pissed that HTC removed the custom tone selection from their exchange client... I wish I could just get the AOSP exchange client, its so nice, I don't know why htc even bother writing their own
FWIW, in general, in Gingerbread (not sure about "Sense" GB), you could have notification and ringer volumes unlinked. In ICS, these 2 are now linked and you can't unlink them without special apps (some work, some don't) or a custom ROM. Just check out some of the complaints over in the Galaxy Nexus forums about this. I'm not sure why Google made this change.
david, I will check out the app.
co.ag, so I was remembering it correctly - Sense GB had everything separate from each other. I wish Google did not link Notifications to Ringtone. Its just bloody annoying for me to have all the main tones loud. I had everything where I was comfortable with on GB (well, the ringtone could have been louder...heh).
Thanks for the help guys.
I just tried out Persist Volume Control. It does not allow the Notifications to be adjusted independently of the Ringtone. It behaves just like ICS where the two are linked.
Grr....

I have a question about volume on ics and such. Its about the keyboard clicks, lock/unlock tick, the volume levels on gingerbread were very loud and noticeable but on ics you have to hold the speaker to your ear to hear it, is it just the rom i'm running or ics in general?
On a side note volume for everything else is normal and working great.
Anybody might know how to raise the volume level just for the mentioned tones.

Volume Butler
Volume Butler is the best app for separate ringer and notification volumes, and it's free. The app is simply one of the best apps I've ever seen.

I am running CM 10.2 on my HTC One and have noticed over the past few weeks that even when Volume is set to normal I don't hear any ringtones or notification sounds. When I go into Settings>Sounds I am unable to preview the ringtone or notification sound as well. Sound works in other apps such as Google Play Music and Apollo, and I hear a sound when I push the volume rocker up or down.
I have also cleared the cache for the sound settings app, disabled and re-enabled then re-booted.
Is anyone else having a similar issue? I am truly stumped by this!
Hello!
I'm having a problem in CyanogenMOD 10.2 when changing the ringing tone and Notification Sounds it only shows default music or sounds but
Ringing tone can be change at Apollo Music player by setting it into ringing tone using the shortcut button
How to browse another music from your own library Music or Sounds?
I have unlinked my notification and ringer volume via gravitybox, now I would like to switch the volume keys to control my notification volume and ONLY my notification volume. I have searched for hours and all I have found where ways to link ringer and notification volumes, I do not want this and I do not want to use any timer app or anything, just a simple remap for my keys.

I couldn't find a way to separately change the levels, I wanted to do the same and couldn't find any way to do it.

There is no direct way to do that but you could extract the notification sound you want and reduce the dB by 50% on audacity on PC and add it back to the phone.
any external app can use for this
Only Samsung and LG phones have this feature to unlink ringtone and notification tone volume.
You can use Volume butler app on play store, serves the purpose.
