Hey all. I have been searching for an app/widget that will create ringer profiles. For example, a low volume level with vibrate off at night, loud volume with vibrate on when outside, vibrate only in meetings, etc. All selectable/switchable via one (or two) button presses. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I use Quick Profiles, from the Market. It let you create different profiles and place shortcut icons for each of them.
A much more complete solution is Toggle Settings, but it is also much resources hungry.

Thanks, I will give those a try.

Trying ProfileManager for now. I remember on my Touch there was an app that, when selected from the home screen, would pop-up a list of fully customised profiles. Simple. The widgets in the market (most in the form of switches) all seem to lack the ability to select ring AND vibrate ... it's either one or the other.

Why not try Locale?
also try audiomanager. I know you can do it in the pro version, not sure about the free one though.
But i always hear good things about locale too.

Locale Beta was awesome, worked really well and hardly affected the phone in terms of performance or battery life.
Locale is now resource-hungry and not as full featured. The network location is really iffy (it wasn't in Beta), it costs ten quid, and it just seems slow and buggy. I'm quite annoyed I spent money on it, based on my impressions of Beta.
Does any of these apps allow to set auto-answer on and enable the loudspeaker? It would be great to create an in-car profile!
I know it's a Jelly Bean issue/feature, but I really miss the ability (coming from an S3) to alter the volume of notifications and ringtones separately. Basically I want to use some sort of app to turn on quiet times where I can still get ringing on calls, but messages emails ect do not make a sound. Is there a ROM or app available to get this to work? If not I guess I set notification sound to NONE 24x7
Try Llama in the Play Store.

+1 on this.....
I actually use llama and was configuring today, but it gave me an error noting the inability to separate ringtone and notification volume. Is there a solution to this?
To note, it's not a JB thing...my co worker's S4 can easily separate it.
I use this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=Orion.Soft works for me (free version
Or this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=opotech.finevolumev2 but you have to paid for it.
Hey guys--
I'm stumped on if this is possible, but I feel like my old Razr HD worked like this. If anyone has a way in the form of an app, Xposed module, etc, it'd be very appreciated.
Desired Behavior: Google Now should always speak to me, regardless of ringtone volume. She should be on her own separate volume control, or at least linked to media volume control.
Current Behavior: Google Now is linked to ringtone/notification/system volume. Since I almost always keep my phone on vibrate only, Google Now won't talk to me. Considering the point of touchless control, this is absolutely infuriating. I feel like I shouldn't have to be "that guy" that has his phone on full volume just to hear the Now voice.
There must be a better way! Who can help me out? Thanks!
I'm with you on this one, I keep my phone on silent all the time so I'd like that as well.
I've sent an email to Google, hopefully they will update that

Come on guys, send Google feedback about this

Apparently.
Tell you what....I'll start a bounty. $25 for an Xposed module or some other easy way to accomplish this. Basically anything that doesn't involve a custom rom or developer edition. If it can be done on a retail maxx in stock ROM I'll pay out. We'll see if anyone else wants to join/help.
Accidental duplicate post. Edited.
I think if enough of us complain Google will change it. Or they might change it on their own.

Just wanted to see if this had reached a resolution. Also wanted throw my hat into the ring as wanting this.

I'm pretty interested in seeing this done too. I haven't received my phone yet, I generally keep my phone on silent or vibrate while at work, and I know I will want to talk to Google - and hear Google's responses when my phone is in that mode.
I sent google an email as well. Hopefully something comes of it.
Agreed! Would love to see this too!
I've looked, but couldn't find, any kind of feature request page for google? Anyone know if there is one?
I am with you guys! Saw this thread and I had not notcied this before since I have it on full volume as of now.
Maybe use something like tasker to set the ringtone to a certain level when google opens?
I experienced a mute Google Now last night and was stumped. Now I see this thread and it all makes sense.
There is an Xposed module that unlinks the notification and ringtone volumes (link). I'm not rooted yet but someone could test which volume Google Now reacts to, so a least part of the problem gets fixed. And maybe ask the developer make an update that addresses that. Tasker is also a good idea, but more cumbersome. Could be a plan B.
I'll throw in 15$ to the bounty
Well I got it to work with Tasker.
---------------------------------
Event: Variable Set %WIN
Task:
Ringer Volume: Level 6, If %WIN=Google
Ringer Volume: Level 6, If %WIN=Voice Search
---------------------------------
I put two ringer volume task because for some reason, when I open voice search it'll be identified as "Google" and vise versa.
Note: I used the Event as the First Context because for some reason I couldn't get the Application Context to work with Google and Voice Search.
I hope that helps some of you. Let me know if you have any questions.

Does this also revert the settings back when you exit? I have limited knowledge of tasker but to me it doesn't seem like it would. Also if this one of the profiles that requires you to be rooted?

No this should not need to be done through tasker. it should be part of the OS

I think we all would greatly prefer it be a part of the OS. That's doesn't mean we can't use a work around that was generously provided until it's fixed.

My original tasker will not revert to the original ringer volume.
Also, I'm pretty sure this particular task does not need root access.
New code with Ringer Volume being set back to original:
---------------------------------
Event: Variable Set %WIN
Task Gnow:
If %WIN ~ (matches) Google
Variable Set: Name: %PREVOLR to %VOLR
Ringer Volume: Level 6
Wait: 10 minutes, Until %WIN !~ Google
Ringer Volume: %PREVOLR
Task Gvoice:
If %WIN ~ (matches) Voice Search
Variable Set: Name: %PREVOLR to %VOLR
Ringer Volume: Level 6
Wait: 10 minutes, Until %WIN !~ Voice Search
Ringer Volume: %PREVOLR
---------------------------------
**Note
Event contexts do not have exit tasks, so just add the Gnow task and then Gvoice task to the Event.
Normally the Ringer Volume Action will only display a slid-able bar to change the Ringer Volume.
Go into Tasker > Preferences
Make sure beginner mode is off
Go back into the Ringer Volume Action settings, and press and hold the "Shuffle" icon and then release after a bit.
This will change the slidable bar to a blank field.
Edit: fixedd!
Hope that works out better for you guys
Im at a bit of a loss here....
I installed google search on my Galaxy Gear and like the talk back feature, however I dont want my watch ringing when I get a call so prefer it to remain on vibrate.
However, any time I change the ringtone to vibrate, it turns off the sound in the google search app. Does anyone know a work around for this?
Thanks

Update = It seems to be linked to the system volume. But system volume gets disabled when ringtone is set to vibrate... Can this be changed at all?

No, it's the google search app (that has voice search) and voice response. :fingers-crossed:
Such as "Who are Liverpool playing today?" "Liverpool are playing Oldham at 15:00"
hello, my Moto G makes a loud sound on some apps like calls and texting, but apps such as facebook messenger, whatsapp and facebook app make a really really low sound? anybody know how to fix this?
Same here. I think that phone recognizes facebook messenger sound as ringing tone instead of notification tone. Ringing tones start really quietly, and after a secont they get loud. The thing is that facebook messenger notification last very short it never gets a chance to get loud.

Raised the same issue on Motorola Forums. Waiting for test results from their lab. I tried with non-system sounds (.mp3 & MIDI Sequence Formats) as ringtones, alarm tones, notification tones & it didn't work with either system apps or 3rd party apps.
After some R&D at my end, I realized that it was happening as I was using low bit rate files. Files with higher bit rate (192, 320 kbps...) played loud n clear as system sounds, but the problem still remains with 3rd party apps like watsapp etc...

That's great. Please inform us as soon as Motorola provide you with some new information. Testing shouldn't take too long because it is obvious that the problem is general.

I'm also the same problem, I hope that fix this soon.
Any news on this? Facebook notifications are really low!!?
Please
No one!!
Hello
this free app helped me to fix this bug: - Disable Increasing Ring
Just edit the sound files and make the loud sounds lower (Like in Audacity.) . Yes this is a time consuming option. But it leads to a permanent fix. But the loud sounds with be low and so it equalizes with facebook messenger sounds etc.
Low notification volume
This is really bugging me now , Audacity fix doesnt really solve the problem , you just end up with a very distorted sounding tone . Although notifications are ok through my bluetooth speakers
possible fix
Ok its not a fix of sorts , it seems the apps notification tone gradually increases in volume , but with a short tone of say 2 seconds the tone has finished before it reaches a level that you can hear it . Try a tone of at least six seconds , you should hear at least 3 seconds at full volume .

Has that worked for anyone else ??
It's annoying.
I can't barely hear any notification.
Have someone managed to fix this??
