[Q] Unlink notifications and ringtone volume?

Has anyone found a way or an app to unlink the ringtone and notification volume? This is a real deal breaker for me. I need to find a way to be able to set the phone on a "phone only" mode at night so that only the ringer is on.
This is a new issue with ICS. It was available on older version of android.

I've been searching for this as well; so far nothing. Audiomanager (pro) can't set them individually. I guess we'll have to wait for custom ROMs or a Google update to get the 'old' behavior back.

I'm pretty sure they changed it after froyo.

With Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my Galaxy Ace I was able to set volume for notifications and ringer individually.

This is killing me. I need to set just the ringing on without having notifications make noise. Does anyone have any ideas?

same issue here. I solved it by downloading a silent mp3 and adding it to my notifications folder. I can then choose it within the profile app I use for my sleep profile. phone still rings but notifications are using the silent mp3.hth I use "profile" but same strategy should work with any similar app.

Yeah, this really annoys me too. My ringtone is plenty loud with the Volume+ app. Only notifications are still very quiet. Really need to boost the notification volume without blowing out the speaker with my ringtone!
I suppose one could just record a louder notification mp3.
But it's a workaround for something that shouldn't need a workaround!

Try downloading Quick Settings from the market. They allow you to adjust the notifications volume separate from the ring volume. They have six different volumes you can set.

It's a cool program, but unfortunately the two are inextricably linked. Quick settings lets you pretend to set different levels, but it doesn't stick. Try having separate volume levels, close that setting, and open it again.
OS problem unfortunately. Really short sighted of them to remove a clearly useful feature.

I ended up doing this too. The only issue here is all apps have to now use the default notification tone or they will not go to silent. I guess this will have to work for now.
what profile app are you using?

This doesn't work in ICS. The two volumes are linked for some dumb reason.

Hoping for a fix on this one soon as well. I need to be able to hear my notifications when I am at work but I can't have my ringer going off at obscenely loud levels.

Same here, really hoping they bring back that functionality to unlink notification and ringer volume.
For me the ringer volume is too low, so I want it on max, but then my notifications are extremely loud and I really don't need the whole office to know I just got an email/text/tweet etc.!

bump to see if anyone has found a way to do this.

Solution
Hi all,
This has been bugging me since moving to ICS also, so I wrote an app to work around it! I just published it today.
Market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.brianhislop.icsringervolume
It's still a work in progress, but it's fully functional and gives (I believe) a good solution to this issue!
Cheers,
Slopppy.

Come on, people, star the issue in google code and let's push google to fix this issue
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23117
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23202

Has this been fixed in Jellybean or are notification and ringer volumes still linked?

I'm not running JB, but from what I've heard it's the same as ICS.

necro bump
I have been using an app called "Smart Sound Profiles".
Finally I'm able to have separate ringer and notification volumes!
It is a paid app, but there is a free trial version to try it out for a few days.
It works like a charm on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus on JB 4.1.1
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tartar.soundprofiles

Update to jellybean, not sure about stock but every custom jellybean rom i have tried gives you the option to decouple notifications from ringer, also some custom roms have an option to custom preset a quiet time period start time and end time, i have not tried it myself but believe there are other settings in quiet time to further customize sound output. Jellybam 3.3.0 had it i am pretty sure but check latest features and changelogs in jellybam thread OP, there are plenty of good jellybean roms with these features and jb is far better than ics my current rom whilst totally excellent and ultra fast doesnt support quiet time but has the delink notifications option.

Text Message Tone with new 1.4 update

All I really wanted from the speaker update was a tone when text messages arrive. Shouldn't it use the ringtone volume?
I assumed this would be an obvious use of the speaker. Can anyone explain to me why this does not work and if there are any work arounds. I've tried the native Samsung Note 5 native messaging app, hangouts, google messenger and Verizon messenger+. Yes I checked and sound is on and volumes are turned up (media volume, ring volume and watch ringtone). Thanks

agreed 100%...would love to have sound on notifications.

Thanks great suggestion. I wasn't really familiar with this app but I believe I got it to work with my messaging app. Fantastic.
Now for Notifications....can't seem to get it to work. I assume the "Notifications - All" setting should do the trick but no luck. Any thoughts?

I think you need to make sure media volume is turned up on the watch.

I wasn't able to get LightFlow to give notification sounds either on the watch. I agree too, that's the use of the speaker I was most looking forward to. I'm sure a developer will make something that runs on the watch & will play a notification sounds when it intercepts a notification coming through.

mayby with tasker?

I don't think LightFlow has any control over sound notification, only vibration notification. At least that's all I see in the Play Store description:
Code:
Light flow allows you to take control of the notifications on your device.
It's main features are:
- Controlling the notification LED for phones that have them (cycling colors through outstanding notifications)
- Sound control, including repeating sounds
- Vibration control, including custom vibration patterns and repeating vibrations
[B]- Android wear vibration support[/B]
- Sleep times
- Lock screen based notifications (on phones that support live wallpapers on lock screens)
- Contact specific notifications for certain notification types

Lightflow has a sound tab and I have successfully used lightflow to send SMS related sound notifications (and various vibrations). I cannot get "app" based notifications to work unless they have an SMS option.

Now on Google Play, as "Smart Wear Notification".
Works like a charm. With sound notification and/or reading text. May work with many apps though I only have tried it with the standard android message apps.
Finally getting what Android Wear should have provided from the beginning along its sound notification for calls.

so if I read all these correctly.. the naitive huawei sounds are for Calls and Alarms only? Notifications make no audible sound ? I just got my watch today and I know when I went into the sound volumes, they are all turned up and I could hear sounds.. but when I get an Android Messages SMS or Hangouts message.. the watch only vibrates.. and doesn't play a sound..
Thanks!

Right now I am using this app..

[Tasker] Alert Slider Enhancement

Are you disappointed with the OP5 alert slider? Have you ever wished you could expand it's functionality? Well now you can!
I wanted to share a project I've been working on that reacts to the alert slider position. This REQUIRES root as the profile is triggered when the following file has been modified:
/sys/class/switch/tri-state-key/state
This file contains a single integer which coincides to the slider position:
1 (up)
2 (middle)
3 (down)
Isn't there a simpler way (no root)?
I don't think so. As I understand, the alert slider does not send traditional key events (as most buttons do), and although you could monitor the DND status through the %INTERRUPT variable, DND can be triggered independently of the slider position so is not robust.
Fine, I'm rooted and can see the file. How does that help?
When the slider is moved, the following events happen:
1. The file is opened
2. The file is modified (example, change from 1 to 2)
3. The file is closed.
The 'Slider Position' profile is triggered by the 'File Closed' event, then the 'slider' task reads the file to assign the global variable %Slider based on the file's value. From here, you're free to use the variable value to trigger any task when %Slider matches up, mid, or down.
Splendid! So this gives me ABSOLUTE POWER over the slider?!
Not quite. I haven't found a way to replace the stock functions as much as expand on them. For example, the top position natively puts the phone into silent mode. If you create a task to take it out of silent mode, the OOS overrides it, and keeps the phone in silent. So you'll have to work within the confines of the native function, hence enhancement
Lame. So what's it good for?
Here's how the profile is setup now. I'd love to see what your clever minds come up with!
UP: Asleep (all radios off, mobile data off, sync off, battery saver on). Basically dead to the world except calls.
MID: Nothing yet, maybe I'll do some intermediate between the two extremes.
DOWN: Awake (all radios on, data on, sync on, battery saver off). Typical setting for standard usage.
Other ideas:
Coma mode: sleep mode + airplane with or without periodic check in.
Autovoice continuous on/off
Home/work/night profiles
Reading/night modes, invert colors
Auto brightness/rotate
Flashlight
Hotspot
Since I'm a dork and can't figure out how to attach a project zip or thumbnails, here's some screenshots.

Hold down on profile to select, then top right button and you can save it. I'm really interested in this, as it would be perfect for work.
Edit: as you can see I'm a noob Tasker and I downloaded my only profile, I have no idea how to do what you did.

I paraphrased my issue. I can export the project from Tasker without issue, but I can't attach it to the OP. Maybe it's because of my low post count. I've been lurking for years

Nice work! Use a bit of Tasker but didn't give this a thought ?

Can convert this to a 'Quiet Hours' Tasker macro to provide the old functionality of the Quiet Hours settings in LOS? Would be really nice to have a Quiet Hours option, overridden by a change event in the button position. Otherwise, Quiet Hours runs as normal. I sometimes forget to slide up when going to bed, only to have 'dings' wake me.

Never mind, sorry

Make a youtube tutorial? *Chanting make a youtube tutorial* DO IT!

This looks good, I have been using Tasker for a few weeks. I do like the idea of your alert slider idea though.

You can upload the file to Google drive, or afh and post the link. That would be helpful ?
I'm excited to give this a try

@jakvettjak when the slider will be down, notifications will also stop pushing I guess ?

Nope, as it's shown the down position is "awake" so fully connected, sound/vibrate, all radios on, sync on, etc. This is intended to mimic typical phone usage and reset all of the "sleep" settings which turned everything off.
I'm working on a "coma" mode for the up position that will put the phone into airplane mode, then disable it every so often to check in, before going back into airplane. Of course, when airplane mode is enabled you wouldn't get push notifications, but they should get pushed as soon as the phone checks in.
As "sleep" mode is shown, with mobile data, wifi, sync off you won't get push notifications, but SMS/call will still work. This mode would work well for the middle slider position where priority DND mode is enabled by default.

Is this thread dead?

The alert slider options to customize are kinda strange, it would be nice if it they were more like the stock Android do not disturb. Trying to use some of my Tasker profiles to mute notifications when connected to Bluetooth speakers but Tasker uses the Android stock do not disturb which conflicts with Oxygen os alerts. Looks like am making new profiles from the ground up.

I agree it's pretty limiting in stock form. Hopefully future updates will give us more control. I wonder if any ROMs on here have been able to modify the slider function.

Hey there. Wanted to try your file but
1. I've copy pasted the profile on Tasker/profiles but it doesn't shows up in selector menu.
2. I've tried adding it manuklay with the "open with" feature of mixplorer but still it doesn't loads up and it says that can open this file with Tasker. Bad intend or something.

Notification sounds per app?

Am I just blind or dumb or is there no place in the system to set different notification sounds for things like calls, Gmail, text messages. I went into apps and notifications and went into individual apps and see notification options but no options to change what sound to use.

When has this ever been an option in stock Android?
You can use Light Flow to set custom notification sounds and vibrations.
It works. Mostly.

There is a paid version that offers more options.

I don't understand. Almost all, if not all apps allow you to change the notion sound. Open the app in question and drill through it's settings menu and you'll find an option to change the notification sound.

For calls, go to settings, sound, phone ringtone. You can set a different ringtone for different callers to. You have to open their contact info, click the hamburger menu, and select set ringtone.
Gmail: This can't be done in general settings, which is great because you can set different sounds for different email accounts. Swipe right to open the side panel, scroll down to the bottom and select settings. Then select the email account. Select manage notifications, expand advanced, then sound and change to whatever.
Messages: Settings, notifications, sound.
A lot of apps can do this, some can't. Facebook you USED to be able to, but I can't find it anymore. Anyway, hope this helps. Google has made it a little cumbersome to change the sounds for some reason...

It is definitely kinda cumbersome to change the sounds, but the option is definitely there. Facebook in particular is really annoying to change sounds since you can play a different sound for every notification type.
Go to the notifications settings for your app, app info -> notifications, and you can then select the notification you want to change, then tap Advanced and you can change the sound that's played.

Wow, all this time I've been blind to it! Fricken Google... Words with Friends was notifying with a sound even though I had it turned off in the app. Looked at pretty much the same notification setup as FB, sure enough, there it was... But why Google? Why make it so hard? Anyway, thanks! Now I can really change some things.

Similar to this or a shine effect only around camera or tens of other styles can be used to indicate an event such as charging, music playing or a notification to help you to know even who texted you just by a glance far from your phone.
some of you may know this app before and some may had struggled with it in its bad moment with a broken version but it did not stop improving and all got fixed and many more feature added.
Because this app has tons of options to customize your phone, even wallpapers, I will start by writing instructions for how to enable the basic options of the feature which this thread is about:
How To:
1- Search google play "AOE" or "Always On Edge" and install this ~6MB App
2- Enter section #1 "Main Settings"
choose if you want the LED effect to be shown within System Ambient Display or a separated screen
3- enable accessibility services and give required permissions
4- Go back and enter section #2 "App settings"
for when to light choose "when a notification comes" and/or charging lighting as you like
5- scroll to bottom and save.
6- Enter enabled apps section and make sure the app you will test with is enabled
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
Please give the app some time only once and then you will not need to even open it:
After testing please discover all sections the app can do what ever you need for such feature
like at the same place of step 4 you can enable Mixer which show all current notifications colors
and Reminder which repeat lighting every X seconds and let other options you may like.
in lighting settings section you can customize the general style of lighting.
the app is indeed complicated due to variety of options and I'm always working on improving it.
Battery Drain:
I use it personally for notifications only, all apps, while screen is on and off, reminder for 5 seconds every 5 seconds limited to 30 repeat and I got 100s of emails and messages and the app is not even on system battery use list. but in general this app can be used with no noticeable difference in battery usage and it can drain your battery in few hours. it depends on the options you choose, there are a lot of options to minimize battery consuming it basically depends on lighting time and enabled widgets.
in worst cases there is options to prevent the app from working if device is not charging and other 10s of options so you can set when the app should not light as when the app should light.
App brief description:
AOE contain a lot of features and options and all can be customized as you like, here is some of the main features:
Edge lighting can also be customized for charging, music, wallpaper and many other events
It can be customized to work in a highly flexible way with AOD clock or independently, or even both like Tap to Light feature.
Lighting can be around all screen or around front camera or both with many other lighting place options like LED style with variety of animations.
You can use it to show lighting effects for many events like notifications including missed calls of course, charging, fully charged, screen lock, screen unlock, headset plugged, listening to music ,
ongoing or outgoing calls, recent apps menu and flash after unlock.
You can customize lighting color, style, effect and place for each event, each app, each contact name or even each chat group.
Notifications light has more useful additional features like Reminder which the lighting will be repeated every period you choose and you can even choose to make a sound alert for notification reminder,
and Mixer which will iterate through all current notifications colors..
Brightness can be adjusted regardless of the lighting is independent or with Always On Display, on top of that you can set high brightness for lights and low brighting for AOD/clock widgets.
It has many options to restrict its job like prevent the app from lighting if device is charging, not charging, not in landscape mode, low battery, sleep time or to follow Do Not Disturb mode.
with a block list to prevent it from working for someone
AOE also support lighting in all screen states, turned off or turned on, horizontal or vertical.

Pretty cool! I didn't know about this app so thanks for sharing! Anyone else have any cool mods or recommendations for settings?

Awesome. Could you add the settings you use to center it on the hole? I'm getting there but just be nice as a starting point then could adjust thickness to taste . Thanks again! So cool. Takes me to back to OMG! NEXUS HAS A NOTIFICATION LED.

This is as close as I could get it to center.

That's seems different from mine. By 10+ on some. I wonder how much the display size setting effect it. Thank you for the starting point.

I managed to use this app but everytime I got a new message after a restart, the app just don't work, does anybody knows a workaround? or it's just me not having a correct config?
