[Q] silence text - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

This may be a silly question but of course typically to silence a text notification you would hit the volume rocker, but for some reason when my notification goes off (being a downloaded ringtone not an in phone tone) it is not muted when I hit the rocker...is there something missing or is there just a bug

XDA11s quick & easy way to stop phone ringing?

Please dont laugh, but the only thing I am missing from my mobile phone, is the ability to turn off the phone (or the ringer) quickly.
I am in and out of places where it would be bad form to have the phone ring and unless I am mistaken, the pda cannot be turned off (completly) and the only way to stop it ringing is to put it into "airline mode" ?
Can I add a short cut to the man menu or something to achieve silence?
Regards,
Peter
You can click on the speaker icon in the top, and chose your setting there.
If you forgett to do this, you can when it starts ringing, just move the volume slider on the side, and it will silence the ring tone, and the caller wont notice this.
You can push the red hardware phone button to reject the call, the caller wil prob. notice this.
You can have a look at PocketZenPhone

Thanks Bosjo
Your welcome
yes Bosjo is correct.
on my XDAlls from 02,
If i get a incomming call at the wrong time i Flick my Vol Slider Down (once) and the ring is Muted for that call.
The Caller will Still hear the Rining and dosent know you have Muted it.
However, If i Wigle the the Vol slider up and down a few times the incomming call is Rejected as if i pressed the red hangup button.

Volume regulation

Hi,
We've got two volume regulations in BA: one for ringtone, other for system (mda clicks etc..). The problem here is, that though i don't want to have any clicking and other sounds or have their volume low, I want to keep my message incoming sound high.
Is there a way to solve it? - Incoming message sound volume depending on Incoming call volume?

Hi Belcik,
You can turn off all this click etc. from windows in:
Start -> Settings -> Personal Tab -> Sounds & Notification
if this is what u meant
Unfortunatelly not....
This is what I mean: I cannot set all volumes in BA to minimum, except incoming calls and messages.
For calls is separate slider, for overall BA volume is another. When i set ringing to max, other phone sounds to minimum, the sound of incoming message will be set to minimum as well, and the only way to have it louder is to move slider of overall BA loudness (with all other BA sounds) to max...
That's the problem
Or maybe it's just the ROM ver??? This one sometimes behaves strange...

Hi Belcik,
My way of solving this will be to remove all not needed sounds (as in my earlier post) and leave only those one You need - like incomming message. I do not know any other way to do it.

how to "ignore/mute" incomming calls?

heya again.
i've got a P3300 with HTC WM6 (but same happened with WM5)
i was used from my older phones to get this options when a call was incomming:
- answer
- cancel (busy)
- ignore (mute)
now i am missing this last option. sometimes when i get a call, i want to just ignore it, mute the phone (and stop the vibration too) but without giving the caller a "busy" sign.
is that somehow possible?
use the volume slider button and slide downwards
yeah its the volume slider on the top left of the phone
well to clarify as others might get confused like i did.
when ppl. sais "use the volume slider" they don't mean to just slode down the volume. no
i've found out that if i wanted to ignore a call, i just had to tap the slider once, to mute the incomming call and turn of vibration. and it wont affect any sort of volume settings for next incomming calls.
so, thx for your replies, guys.

separating the Ring and Notification volume levels

Anyone have any sort of work around to enable independent control of the ringer and notification volume levels in ICS? Do any of the custom Roms have this ability?

No, they don't. Try this. Download Lightflow if you don't already have it, and try and set the notification tone for texting through that. I read somewhere the other day that the Lightflow notification will either override the global system volume or the other way around. I'm not exactly sure but download Lightflow and poke around in there.
It had something to do with setting the text volume in lightflow and the ringer volume with the global notifications.
Goodluck.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I have been using a profile application for a work around just like lightflow is doing, except with more functionaliTY. Basically I have been using Setting Profiles to set an incoming text messages or SMS message always to a profile with a particular ringtone, at a particular volume level. Same for phone calls. Then set exceptions to profiles for vibrate, silent, etc. That way at night I can tell my phone to go to silent but with an exception for phone calls. This is basically saying be quiet for notification sounds, but not for phone calls. There are other exceptions and possibilities but the end result is separate ringer and notification volumes. I can explain more if you are interested.
Does this work with other notifications like Google* or Twitter as wella sms?

Unfortunately I don't think so. But I also use LightFlow and I don't see where it lets you choose the volume level of the notification so it doesn't quite do the job either.
What I do is set my ringer volume to what I want it to be for notifications (any notification as controlled by the program the notification is coming from). Then I set rules for incoming calls and SMS (which is what SettingProfiles supports) to sound at a different ringer volume. That way I have effectively "separated" my volumes and still am able to have unique ringtones for the different applications that support it. Examples are:
1. Make a profile for Silent
2. Make a profile for Ringer set to max
3. Make rule in SettingProfiles for incoming calls to activate the Ringer profile
4. Put phone in Silent profile (ringer speaker completely muted so no ring or notifications)
5. Phone call comes in and Incoming call rule activates the Ringer profile for that call
The result is all notifications are silenced. I get an incoming call and it triggers the ring rule so my phone will still ring. Once the incoming call stops (either i answer it or it goes to vmail or whatever), it exits the Ringer rule and goes back to the state it was in before, which is my Silent profile.
The way I'm doing it, you don't need an application that handles notifications for each application. It's just changing your ringer volume based on different conditions. It only supports incoming call, unread SMS/MMS, schedule, time period, etc, though. But that's fine for me because I usually want all notifications to be whatever volume I've set my speaker to, except for phone calls and text messages, which under certain conditions, I always want to be allowed to sound, and sound loudly at maximum volume.
I use LightFlow to repeat notify for text messages and missed calls and change the notifications for various apps it supports, but all that is for is changing the LED, ringtone, repeat notify, etc. It doesn't do anything for the volume of any of those notifications, at least not specifically supported in the application anyway.
I use SettingProfiles to change the VOLUME of my speaker based on rules and priorities and use LightFlow to change the TYPE of notifications I receive in various applications.

How to Solved Notification Problem "ringer is silence"?

Can't make any notification sound except phone call
and when you try to change ringtones it mention ringer is silence
Does anyone know how to fix it?
i didn't turn on DND or silent mode
If you unlock your phone and press up or down volume, a column of volume control should appear based on what's running. The top section is the volume of one of the types (ringer, notification, alarm) and the bottom bit shows you the current silence or DND mode, and three dots. Press the three dots and you'll see the expanded panel showing all three volume settings.
I assume that you've got some level for ringer but nothing for the other two. Drag up from the bottom to set a volume. On my OS version dragging up from silence is a bit problematic so you might have to try several times if your OS is the same.
thanks a lot i didn't notice it
i will check it work or not later
thanks a lot
