Silence or change the nfc notification sound? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

How do you silence or change the nfc notification sound?
I have a tag that mutes all, but when it activates, I get the loud double beep.
Of course, when I go to back to std volume settings, since it is on mute, there is no nfc notification.
I would love to have more control, but cannot figure it out.
I am using NFC Task Launcher, it's settings have notification options, but they don't seem to work..

Ringer and Notification volume the same ?

I am not happy that both the ringtones + notifications are set to the same volume. I like my ringer low and notification sound loud.
Anyway to separate them ?

The only workaround is know now is choosing wisely your sounds or editing the tag if it is mp3.

I haven't found an official way to separate them. Google tied them together. I'very always used Setting Profiles to trigger profiles based on rules. I've just had to modify my rules and profiles with ICS now. You could use SP to create a rule to trigger a profile. Make 2 profiles. One profile would set the ringer volume to 100%. Another profile wshould set it to 50%. Make a rule to trigger when there is an incoming call and the action should be to set the ring loud profile. The other rule should be set to trigger on an incoming text message. Make the aftion to set the ring soft profile.
You will need to make some exceptions for situations like when you put your phone on vibrate or silent. I've just made my own silent and vibrate profiles and put my phone in silent or vibrate using my the profiles instead of I. The android sound menus or using the volume rocker. Then the 2 rules can be modify to trigger on incoming text or call but not when the vibrate or silent profiles are active.
I've also done a rule to trigger at night and set my ringer to silent. I set my incoming call rule to a higher priority so that it overrides the night profile and momentarily allows the phone to ring. I like for my phone to be quiet if it is charging at night (typically means I'm sleeping) but still ring in case of an emergency. It was much simpler with previous versions of android, but I've got the work around now. You can do this with other programs too like locale or tasked. I just prefer setting profiles personally after trying many.

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.

Problem - Ringer Silenced, Alert Volume On - CM9

Hey guys, I am having the hardest time trying to figure this out. I want to have my ringer silenced but my alert volume on. Every I put the phone ringer all the way down, I never hear any alert notifications (texts). The alert notifications is still up and at the setting I want it on, but no sound.
I have them unlinked in the settings so the ringer and alerts are not linked together.
Is this a bug of some sort?
Is there a way around this to have the phone go in silent mode and still be able to hear texts?
Thanks!

Well I know that they cannot be separate if you are stock so maybe it is a hardware thing that the phone simply will not support.

[Q] How to turn off notification sound when I enable Bluetooth?

When I pull down the top menu (so to speak) and tap the bluetooth icon to turn on bluetooth, the phone always makes the notification sound. This is really annoying. It's the default notification sound so I can't just change the notification sound.
Am I missing some way that I can turn off the phone making a noise when I enable bluetooth?

I assume it is playing in both places, right? Speaker then your BT headphones? That's how it happens for me. I've wondered the same thing, but I'm guessing it plays in both places because it assumes you won't keep your headphones on all the time, and you won't hear the notifications in that case if it only plays in the BT headphones.
I've also noticed that in the car, when I have the S3 connected to my stereo via the headphone jack, the notification only plays through the phone speaker. It causes the playing music to reroute there briefly while it plays the sound...I know because the music stops, notification plays through phone speaker, music resumes through the phone speaker, then switches back to the headphone jack. very annoying.

You don't say if you are rooted but , if so, the blue15 toggle mod by DavidDee in Themes and Apps does not make this sound when activating Bluetooth.

Yes, I'm running the stock ROM but rooted. It appears that the sg3 ONLY makes the notification sound for turning on bluetooth if you do it through the pull down menu with the toggle bar at the top of the screen. If you go through menu/settings, or ANY kind of widget on the main screen, the notification sound doesn't come on.
I turn on bluetooth so I can use a headset and NOT bother other people, so setting off the notification sound when I turn on bluetooth is counter-productive.

The mod I mentioned is a replacement for the dropdown with extra options and triggering bluetooth from dropdown no longer makes this sound.
