[Q] Separating Ring and Notification Volume - HTC One X

Hey everyone.... I have done some summary research but I haven't found any answer to the following:
Is there any way of separating the Ring and the Notification volume? It posses a problem at night where I just want the phone to ring without any other notifications.
I have PhoneWeaver installed and while I have used this program for over a year now I have never come across this problem where the system cannot differentiate between the ring and notification. So whatever tweaks I make in PhoneWeaver it won't change the outcome and that is if the ringer is on....the notifications also ring.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks

Google changed this in ICS so ANY phone running ICS has the same problem. Can't be reverted, either, so we're stuck with it

WTF why would they remove features what idiots lol

Incredibly stupid move by Google and very very annoying

There was an app free that separate volumes

switchpro from market will give u the option u require

I made an app that could do it when I had a Galaxy Nexus - http://androidaudiohacks.com/?page_id=171
Should work ok on the One X

how to turn off new email notification sound?

just wondering as I cannot find any button or setting for it, nor any posts here.
I found ways to change the sound, but no way to turn off email notification only.
am I the only one pi*** to being woken up during nights due to the new-mail notification?

Are you using gmail app? When you're selecting the notification the option for silent is 2nd one down, not in alphabetical order!
my god, so simple...
thanks so much for my and my spouse's nights!
Yup I know, I missed it until today when I was answering another post (the flaws and annoyances thread) some one had posted that it was possible. I double checked and there it was right at the top!
Anyone know how to do this using the mail app? It worked fine until I flashed the oxygen rom. Now my only option is to silence all notification sounds, which is not ideal.

[Q] Is there a way to let one contact ring while phone is silent?

I'd like to somehow configure it so that the phone will ring when my wife calls even if I have the phone on silent (if I'm sleeping away from home and there's an emergency).
Any way to do this?
Thanks.
Set a silent ring tone for all of your contacts except her
Try RingMaster from the Market...
My go to tool for these kinds of things is always Tasker, very versatile.
Download a Silent ringtone with the Zedge app and set it as you phone ringtone. Set a normal ringtone for anyone you want to hear.
I use setting profiles to create a night/sleep profile that keeps the phone quiet, unless someone in my family group calls.
I have this set on a time schedule that depends on the day.
Does lots if cool stuff like silence your phone during meetings, lower volumes during work etc... its a little easier to use than tasker IMHO.
I haven't tested yet but Llama has this function called Noisy Contact which allows you to set a different ring volume to some contacts while the phone itself keeps the original volume setting.
Just search market for llama

Llama is fantastic. My phone goes silent at night, but if my wife calls it will ring.

Yeah llama can do a lot more than just profile managing. If set properly it could potentially boost your battery life a little. I ask it to turn off wifi and sync at night if I'm home, which is kinda nice.
I would love to see NFC implementation tho

try autoring in market
select enable and auto enable when silent and put yr wife's contact under the white list and vola!
you may need to apply force ring too

I like doing this with Tasker and allmost every thing I need with this program.. I personally like not have many different app. installed just to take care of 1 thing each..
Therefor I like Tasker that much.. since this one program can save me for installing a ton of apps.. and its rock solid !!!

Try Selective Silence
You could do it also with Xposed and Xblast Tools. Use Quiet Hours for all day and whitelist your one contact. You could even set how many times she or he can get through while those hours are active

Jelly Bean & vibrate for notifications

Has anyone else noticed volume settings are even worse then they were for ICS? Not only are ringer + notification volumes still linked, Google even linked the system volume to them now as well. And more annoying: how on earth does one disable vibrate for notifications? The only setting to control vibrate I seem to have is "vibrate when ringing" in the sound menu. Unchecking this one does nothing for notifications.
I use Audiomanager Pro for my sound profiles, and the vibrate options you can set for each profile have no effect. The only way to disable vibrate seems to be to enable silent mode. But I don't want that, when I'm at home my GNEX lies on my desk in the room and I simply do not want it to vibrate for ringer & notifications.
Or am I somehow overlooking something really obvious here?
It is a pain in the a$$ but I found a pretty cool solution. Might not be what you were looking for but "easy profiles" in the market will let you unlink all those. It has a 2 week full trial. You can even reinstall the trial again if you want. Plus it allows all kinds of triggers and rules etc. Almost like tasker ... except for notifications.

So, if you're looking to control the vibrations for each app, any application that supports notifications should have a setting inside it with semi-fine-grain controls for notifications. These controls will generally allow you to specify whether you want a sound or vibration notification, and when to initiate them. For example, in Gmail->settings->[your email]->vibrate & ringtone there is a setting called "vibrate" in which you can specify if you would always like a vibration, only while in silent mode, or never. Hopefully this answers your question.

Thanks for the reply but it doesn't I'm afraid. I know you can control notification settings per app, but doing so for 10+ apps every time I want to temporarily disable notification vibrate sort of defeats the purpose. What I want is a Gingerbread like setting for vibrate for notifications: one setting to disable/enable vibrate for notifications that overrides individual app settings.
I'm beginning to think Google simply does not want to allow such settings any more, but I'm surprised not more users are annoyed by this. Linking volumes was a bad call, but removing control regarding vibrate settings is an even worse one imho.

I just updated my Nexus S to Jelly Bean and was very sad to discover this problem. Previously, I could use Audio Manager Pro to control whether notifications vibrated or not (both with volume on and off). Now, Audio Manager Pro's vibration settings seem to do nothing. I have to go into the individual app's notification settings to choose whether it vibrates or not. As you said, with multiple apps, this is unacceptable.
I emailed the Audio Manager dev to point this flaw out. I'm not sure if it is an unfixable Jelly Bean deficiency or if the Audio Manager app just needs to be updated. But I surely hope it is the latter and not the former.
I have to hand it to RIM... one thing they had right was notifications profiles built into the OS that were vastly superior to anything I've seen on Android or iOS. And the notification LED. It still blows my mind that more Android devices don't have a bright, visible notification LED.

Yes I totally agree regarding the profiles you can set on BlackBerry devices. I also emailed the dev of audiomanager, hopefully the jelly bean API still allows more control over vibrate than the Android settings menu suggests.

AUGH I just clued into this tonight after weeks on JB. I can't find any way to globally disable all vibrations at night. What the hell was Google thinking? Now I might have to put the damn thing on airplane mode just to get some freaking sleep.
Yeah it looks like we need need to live with this or flash a ROM that has modified sound/vibration settings to a normally usable level (read: the Gingerbread implementation).

For now, my compromise is to set Tasker to disable account sync when the phone is both face down and plugged in. Since Gmail is the most common source of vibration, it should do the trick. In the morning when I flipped it over and woke it, my e-mails came in about 5 seconds.

Wtf was Google thinking? First linking ringer and notification volumes. Now making it near impossible to control vibration globally with a profiles app.
Google is really moving backwards in this area and I can think of no reasonable explanation as to why.

Exactly. It's a mystery what problem the Google devs think they needed to fix. Gingerbread handled volumes and vibration just fine. Don't fix what isn't broken.

They were asked about this at Google I/O, supposedly it was too confusing for some users. They basically avoided a response when it was brought up how it is now impossible to set, for example, navigation and music to both have comfortable volumes at the same time. It's like they know it sucks but they still won't fix it, it kind of pissed me off when I was watching it.

Would it be possible for a custom ROM, say AOKP or CM10, to revert the vibration and volume behaviours back to being more like they were in GB?

Oh I somehow missed that. Bad argumentation imho. If you can understand how 3 volume sliders (ICS/JB) work, you don't suddenly get confused if there are 5 sliders (GB). All this does is annoy people who want to control individual volumes. Restricting them by linking is *not* a usability improvement because it's less confusing.
"Three sliders? Ok, I got it". "Five sliders? ZOMG I'm confused!"
Google should have made it at least possible to unlink in 'advanced settings' or something. Heck I'd be happy to edit a bulky.config file if that would unlink.

AOKP and CM have the volumes unlinked, according to the specs and users on XDA. I'm guessing it's also possible to get the 'old' vibration behavior back as well. However I'm very happy with vanilla android, and flashing a custom rom just to get this one issue fixed always seemed overkill to me. But as soon as CM10 gets in a more stable state, I just might flash it.
turn off vibrate alerts in Jellybean - I fixed it
dunno how I missed something so simple but I service provider was able to help me fix the problem of the vibrate settings being on for all alerts and ringtones. for the ringtone, its in advanced settings and you can uncheck vibrate there. for the other apps, you have to go into the settings via the app not via the phone settings>apps and do it for each app, so for example, I use go chat for text messages, so I had to go into the app itself and then go to its settings and then turn off vibrate, same for email and facebook. and it worked, its fixed.
Yeah but that's still useless for those of us who just want to toggle all vibration at once, especially with an automated program like Tasker.

Have you tried Sound Manager from the market? It allows you to set vibrate for all notifications via the advanced menu.
I have to be honest that I only tried this in cm10 and in stock ics. I expect it to work in stock jb too.

No it does not work in stock JB. CM10 must have put back what Google got rid of. There is no more global vibrate toggle in stock JB.
I'm a little late on this one...
- slide down the "notification bar" from the top
- 3rd icon from the left ("speaker")
- this button has three states (ringtone / no ringtone + vibration / no ringtone + no vibration)
// EDIT
another option:
- keep the power button pressed
- select one of the above mentioned sound options at the bottom

Sorry what you're describing has nothing to do with the feature Google removed. This is about the ability to globally disable vibration, independently from sound. None of the options you listed include "sound on, vibrate off".

[Q] Turn off notification vibration/sound on certain apps

Is there a way of turning the notifications sound and/or vibration off on certain apps, like games?
I know that you can turn off the notifications completely by going to the app info, but I still want to get notifications in the drop-down, but not the sound/vibration.
Anyone managed to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Well if the application has the option to change the notification sound then you can use a silent tone for that, not sure about the vibration though.
maybe a file explorer could allow you to silence said applications.
just my two cents.

Some apps don't have this option in them. I was thinking of something like iOS dose it's notifications (don't get me wrong... I don't like iOS.
)?

[Q] 3rd Party M8 Call Notification App Issue

Hi All - I've recently being fooling around with apps like Floatify and Heads Up Notifications in order to have a more Android L feel to my notifications. I remember previously using Floatify on my old M7 and a call answer/decline would pop up when there was an incoming call. Heads Up Notifications is supposed to produce a similar pop up. I've disabled my lockscreen but no matter what settings I use, I still get the Sense call answer/decline screen on my M8. I'm in the process of checking with the devs but I'm wondering if anybody else has been encountering a similar issue. If so are there are any workarounds? I'm using Insertcoin rom. Thanks.
