[Q] What is system volume

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.

Any way to tie notification volume to ringer volume?

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.

[Q] text notification volume issue

The strangest thing is happening. If I adjusted the volume for ringtone and notification it does not effect the volume for notifications.. but if I muted the volume for notification and ringtone it.. mutes it lol. The only way I can lower the volume of my notifications is by lowering the media(music) volume....
What the heck

Update: wait.. ok so by controlling the volume using the side control it only effects the volume of the ring tone. But when I hit the gear and adjust the setting labeled "ringtone and notifications" it works. I just tested this. I didn't adjust the volume any higher or lower but just tapped the setting and sent myself a test text and it worked but only when I adjust it manually and not just using the side controls

ringtone & notification on the same volume

I had the Atrix before and I liked the separation on volume for my ringtone and notifications. I usually like my ringtone to be louder than my notifications. Does anyone know a way to either separate the two for the Moto X or an app that will be a volume manager for the sounds. I wouldn't think there could be a way since it is built into the system. Otherwise, I get a loud notification which will freak out my family. I found this out when I changed my notification to the TARDIS materializing.

You can separate all volumes with xposed framework + gravitybox.

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.
