So when I had my sensation, my phone had the Facebook pop when I get a message or post... Since upgrading to the a S3, my phone no longer pops...I checked the settings on the Facebook app and that sound and notification is enabled but it just vibrates. Even in the Facebook notifications menu when I select the pop it just is silent... Any ideas?

Is there anything in the sdcard/media/audio/notifications/ folder? There is a Facebook sound in that folder for me.
I don't have notifications turned on so not sure on the making a noise part.

Here's some of the stuff I've done in the past to rectify goofy notification problems.
I would triple check all of your volume sliders first. Sometimes the volume slider for a particular function is turned on (Media, Notifications etc) but you have silent/vibrate turned on and in the settings the system knows to follow your silent/vibrate choice regardless of where the volume slider is set to (I assume, this is so that when you decide to go out of silent/vibrate mode, it will return to your previously selected volume for that feature). In this case, that volume may be set to 0.
I've had a few quirks like this where I assumed I had volume turned on for something, but for whatever reason it was following a rule in some setting someplace which overrides the volume setting. Or, even when coming out of silent/vibrate, the volume setting was 0 anyways, so it's like nothing got changed.
Also check your phone settings for notifications etc. I've noticed that sometimes when an App has notification settings, they can quarrel with the phone settings and shenanigans ensues.
You might also try getting another 'Pop' ringtone. Zedge works well.

Thats interesting... i wonder what the format is.. Thats the only thing i can think of keeping it from playing..
It's a m4a file... I went and downloaded the exact same pop from zedge and set it as my Facebook notification and it works... Weird

How can I make my gnexus go completely silent when I put it on vibrate/silent mode? I don't what apps to make any sound when I turn down the volume all the way using the volume buttons. Right now I have to go to settings>sounds and change it there.
Oh and is there a way to force it to always vibrate even on silent mode?

1. You can turn down just the media volume. That volume can be adjusted with the volume buttons too, you need to let media make a sound and then press the volume button.
You can also search for volume widgets on the market, I bet there are some that will suit your needs.
2. You can set vibrate in sound setting to "always".

1. That's the problem though. I'm sitting in class and open an app and suddently it starts playing a music. Even the sound of taking a screen shot is unaffected when phone is on silent.
2. I can not find this option in Settings>Sound. I have "Vibrate and Ring" which is set to enabled but it does not affect silent mode.
I use an app called RealSilent off the market. Its free and does what you need.
Use Audio Manager, or something similar. There's plenty of apps out there...
I use quick setting app.....has all volume settings on one page to change values of basically everything

You could also use a profiles app and create a profile that silences everything. (And also a profile that brings everything back up to volumes you like when it's not silenced.)
Thanks everyone I'll try the market
I believe the actual problem is that ICS has combined notification volume and ringer volume in to 1 volume. I haven't seen any of those apps mentioned above, but how can they possibly get around this newly imposed restriction in ICS??
I use Llama for setting profiles on my ICS Nexus S and it warns you about this exact thing.
I've used Mute before on the SGS. Worked well there. I haven't used it yet for the Galaxy Nexus so I can't say if it's been updated for ICS.

Lol this isn't just ics
It was in gingerbread too
The notification and ringer volume are the same (and I actually prefer that)
And OP all you need to do is make the ringer silent, then go into a media app, something like music, power amp, even camera, and then turn down the media volume from there, its pretty simple

But not very practical to do this over and over. Its easier to have a toggle.
Phone on silent in class, open Tiny Tower, and BOOM you have tons of sounds lol. So I really need to find one that works. I used "silent toggle widget" on my G2, but it doesn't mute everything on the GNex.

Looks like "mute" works... when you hit the widget to mute everything, and go into "sound" settings, the ringer is silenced and the games/media sound is set to 0. I'll test more after class. Not gonna risk it right now
Also, the widget is kinda ugly but I think I can look past that if it does what I need.

hi. I am having an issue with my stock galaxy s 3 alarm. When I set the alarm to a time and set with vibration and melody and pick any song (sounds or my files) it will only vibrate. I know I haven't blown the speaker because it still plays music from it. Can anyone help me with my problem?
Sgs 3
I747m
Sasktel
Still stock. No roots or attempts to root
Never mind. I found out what was wrong. Appearently with the new update they moved alarm volume with default volume. Not notifications. So now I have to have my sound on to have an alarm.
Can anyone suggest an app that will mute all other volumes without muting my main sound? And possibly put it back to the way I had it after? And it needs to be free until I can get a credit card or Google accepts visa debit.
Edit: also the app must be able to work on a non rooted phone. Hopefully I'm not asking for a whole lot or posting in the wrong spot.

That's weird. I always keep my phone on vibrate at night too. Try another alarm app. I've found the Samsung default alarms to be unreliable anyways.

I've had a few android phones for work but finally bought an s3 as my personal phone getting rid of my iPhone 4. I love it except for when I'm listening to music I hate that it totally blocks out the song to play the notification, sometimes I don't even hear the notification just hear my phone vibrate but my music doesn't even stop it keeps playing but is silent. Is there any kind of work around this?

if you're on Jellybean use blocking mode and turn off notifications.
If you're on ICS, you can put the phone in silent mode but that turns off the ringer too.
Ahhh didn't think about using that for that. I don't mind getting the notification just don't want it to completely silent my music.

Elaborate on using blocking mode.... where do you enable/disable it?
settings/blocking mode
you can disable incoming calls
notifications
alarms
and the LED indicator. I have mine set to turn off led and notifications between 11 PM and 7 AM.
Does anyone know which files are used for the increasing ringer? Because sometimes when my phone is in my pocket I don't get to it until the third ring and sometimes miss a call. I've used the app called disable increasing ring I think it's called but it makes the beginning of my ring tones skip. I know on my evo 3d there was an option to turn it on or off but not on the Optimus G. If anyone can chime in I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

That's not it. I'm referring to when your phone rings and the volume starts low then increases to high no matter if your in a loud area or not. I have checked the wise ring tone and it still has the increasing ringer.

If you disable Wise Ringtone, it gives the same volume all the time, and i thought that's what you wanted. My bad

It's alright, yea when i disable the wise Ringtone it doesn't change anything. When my phone rings it always starts at a low volume then increases. And that app on the playstore makes the beginning of the Ringtone skip, that's why I was wondering which files made that do that so I could just try and modify them myself. Thanks though
I listen to music in my car through the headphone jack, and it's annoying when every notification will sound, lowering the volume of my music playing. It'll bring back my music after the tone plays, as it should
This happens under all 3 profiles.
When I'm not plugged into the jack, all is at it should be based on whatever profile is engaged. The phone will only vibrate under the vibrate profile, music blasting at continuous, unbroken volume.
I've tried messing with the sound settings and profiles, but I can't seem to rid myself of the annoyance

Have you tried any automating apps like Tasker or Llama? You can set up profiles in those that detect when certain variable conditions are met, such as headphones plugged in and charging. If you have any questions on how to do this, I would be happy to help.
For example, I currently have a Tasker profile that turns on Bluetooth in the morning and once it detects it is connected to the Bluetooth in my car, it increases the media volume to max, lowers the notification volume to zero, and starts Mort for my audio book for my morning commute. In the evening, it starts Slacker radio instead for my commute home.

Yeah, I admit Tasker is a bit daunting at first, but once you learn some stuff, it's awesome! I started out using llama, which can do a lot of stuff while still being free. Tasker is just more feature packed and can do other things like creating scenes and even make an installable app.
Just as a quick rundown, Tasker is set up with Profiles, Tasks, Scenes, and Variables tabs. You start with either the profiles or tasks. The profiles set up the conditions of which you want your task to run from. To start, you can ignore the scenes and variables. I think there's even an " easy" or " simple" mode if you want .
If you would like more help in how to set one of them up, I would be happy to assist. Otherwise, there's a lot of other resources out there with more knowledge than me.

No. I'm asking if there is a mid to flash through recovery to disable notification in headphones when in silent or vibrate mode.
My old phone made a notification in headphone only in "normal mode" and it was better!

Sorry, but no, I don't know of any mod to apply in recovery. Instead, I have a tasker profile set up so that whenever my Bluetooth headphones are connected, the notification volume is set to zero.
Otherwise, have you used an xposed module like gravity box to make sure your ringtone and notification volumes are linked? I'm not sure, but perhaps that will make it so the notification is muted when in silent or vibrate mode.
