So in various widgets that let you control volumes there is:
- Ringer
- Notification
- Media
- Alarm
- Voice Call
- System (What is this and when is it used?)
PS: Im on stock 2.2.1 FRG83D

Yes, Settings > Sound > Volume > Use incoming call volume for notifications
Thank you very much haha. That was so easy I feel stupid. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

I'm pretty sure Google Navigation used to use the System volume, but it doesn't seem to anymore. Now I think it's only used for keyboard sounds.
Also used for the shutter sound in camera
Thanks man, works for the camera shutter. But has no effect on the volume rocker making noise when adjusting volume.

Right. It shouldn't, should it? It doesn't make sense to use a volume for that sound other than the volume of the channel that the button is changing.
I was looking for a way to mute the volume rocker. I am using NoLock app so I don't have the lock screen sound on/off feature so I am using the rocker and hold down, to go to vibrate but if i want to go back, it makes a noise.
Hi a lot of devices tie the notification volume to the ringer volume. Where when I use the volume rocker to adjust volume the notification volume gets adjusted as well. I don't seem to have that option on the Note. Anyone know of an app or setting I'm missing?
Thanks.

If you use the app "Quick Settings" you do have a option, "use ringer volume for notifications"

The app Extended Controls has a widget that has option you can tick that says "Use ringer volume as notification volume". Extended Controls is a very useful set of widgets, well worth it IMHO.
Can someone who already has this device comment on the volume of ringtones and notifications?
It's damn loud frightens me to death every time some one rings me

its the loudest handset iv ever had even vid clips sound amazing and loud
but be warned if used as a alarm clock do a sound test first cos mine just woke the whole street up at 5-45am lol:victory:
That's what I like to hear, thanks!
dont find my ringtones that loud it was a lot louder on my galaxy note 2 but music and youtube is way louder
Yeah it's damn loud and for me it is a real issue as you cannot dissociate Ringtones volume and notifications volume.
You'll either have to lower the volume to the point notifications are barely audible or have everyone around you staring at you because your Led Zep Kashmir Ringtones sounds amazingly loud in your office.
If anyone got an idea to dissociate these 2 volumes please shoot
I didn't plan on using another ROM than the stock one but I'm seriously considering it for this very reason.
stock boot up jingle is very loud, its now gone, cos on rooted arhd 3.6
Loud. Too loud for my liking in most instances.

Try using a volume control app, it seperates the ringtone from notification. I have the notification & ringer on 1 (of 7) which is fine.

Have a rooted Dev Edition One. Not being able to set separate volume settings for Ringer and Notification was pretty frustrating. I installed Power Toggles and can now set separate volumes for Ringer and Notification.
I have always used Tasker to change these volumes depending on where I am and the time of day. However, on the One, even though Tasker shows separate volume settings for Ringer and Notification, it sets them both to whatever is the last action. For instance, if I am at work, I set my ringer volume to 1 and notifications to 5. Depending on which one I put first, both volumes get set to the last one set. Any thoughts on how to set these separately using Tasker?
Thanks.

What app are you using?

Just tried around 15 different apps for controlling the volume. Most of them separate the ring and the notifications, until you go back in and they have linked again.
There does not appear to be anyway of unlinking them

Dang it! You're absolutely right. Power Toggles appears to allow the volumes to be set separately, but, when I go back and look, they are set the same. I set my ringer at 1 and notifications at 5 this morning (I use a really quiet notification sound and even at 5, it is not too loud). Was in a meeting at work.. I get a call and the #&%$(*(*$ ringer goes off SUPER LOUD!!! So terribly embarrassing and uncool.
Hard to believe that HTC would have goofed this one. Haven't seen any other phone to date that does not allow setting the volumes independently. If I can't find a fix quickly, this will force me to start flashing custom ROMs. (I really like Sense 5 and had made up my mind to stay stock (albeit, rooted) for at least a few months).
The only app I've found can actually separate and keep the setting is ICS Enhanced Ringer Control (or Volume), it is a paid app, however, after changing system sound profile from normal > silent or vibrate and the phone still rings... I am so frustrating, it is either adjusting the actual notification file volume for a workaround, or install the ICS control app but you will lose the sound profile feature.....
The other alternative is Sound Profile apps that takes over system profile, it separates notification from ringtone and has its own profile widget you can put on your home page for fast switches. It also comes with scheduler that replaced my other sleep silent apps, so finally I picked Sound Profile for all trouble saver, and it is free.
Using an ascending ringtone app

I agree; these suckers are too loud.
To help to deal with this, I installed HandyPhone, which allows me to set any ringtone to become an ascending ringtone. With luck, I can answer before that ringer becomes really intrusive.
Honestly it hurts my ears someyimes because of how loud it is

Anyway to separate the ringtone volume from the notification volume?
Cause seems the 2 things are in 1 only called ringtone, but i want a low volume on notification and high on ringtone
is possible?
On other mobile brand this things are splitted
thank in advance
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.
So since pie I hate the fact that my volume buttons only turn the media volume up or down. I have to go into sound settings to change ring volume. Anyone figure out a way to change this?
Sent from my Phone 2 using Tapatalk
no, other devices are just like this too.
Unfortunately that's just how Pie works. It's definitely my least favorite part of Pie. You can change it if you the xposed module Gravity Box. Under media tweak, if you enable Force ring volume control then it return it to pre-Pie controls.
Volume
A-Volume widget is good.
