There are two issues that I find annoying with the volume settings. I believe these issues are because of this T-Mobile ROM and not stock Android 4.2.2, but I could be wrong. While this issue might be a thread for troubleshooting, I believe this is not something we users can fix, but a ROM issue that T-Mobile should probably fix sometime soon.
The issues are the notification volume not properly being linked with the ringer volume and the second is the warning we get about turning up the volume when headphones are plugged in; that is just plain annoying, and I wish our ROM would allow us to disable this warning message. If anyone has found an easy way to do this, please let us know.
The notification volume does not seem to get set up or down when using the volume button on the side of the phone. On my older HTC phone with Android 2.3.4, turning the volume up or down with the side volume button turns the phone's ringer up/down but not the notifications (not while in a call but while walking into a meeting, for instance, and trying to make the phone ringer and notifications quiet). Further more, when I go into settings to access volumes (music, ringtones, notification, system) or I press the volume button and quickly access volume settings from the volume pop-up (ringtone, media, notification, system) there is no option/functionality to have ringtone and notification volumes linked. Further still, I have a widgetsoid volume widget to access volume controls that does allow me to set "use ringer volume for notifications", and I see the volume slider for notifications greyed out and moving with the ringtone volume setting, BUT the notification volume doesn't actually adjust with the ringtone volume when using the volume button.
Okay, I know that is a long winded (its just thorough) way of explaining the volume issues I've observed, in total.
I think either this T-Mobile ROM has broken the previous and useful feature of having these two volumes linked, or it is a problem with Android 4.2.2.
Anyone have anything to add? Maybe a fix I am overlooking? Anyone know how to also disable the annoying warning about having my headphones turned up too loud?
Thanks!
Volume warning is fixable through root and nottach framework or a custom ROM. My ROM has the ability to sync any volume with the ringer volume.

I agree. I have had some issues with volume on my phone. Interestingly, when I was running the CyanogenMod nightly, I noticed all my notifications/ringers were MUCH louder (it actually startled me the first time my phone rang), and of course I had the option to lock the two volumes together.

I think I can pull the volume synchronization from my ROM and put it into an app.

I may be missing something, but it doesn't appear that you are able to separate ringer and notification volume anymore. This is critical for me, because I am on call 24/7 and need the ability to turn down my notification volume, yet keep the ringer volume on max to wake me up.
I'm running ICS Slim v1.4

Try RingDimmer https://market.android.com/details?id=com.michaelpardo.ringdimmer you can find it in the android market for about a dollar
I found a better app made specifically for the volume changes in ICS

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.

Wrong. I'll let the picture do the talking instead of a petulant "lol".
I've looked everywhere for an answer to this problem so please don't flame me. :fingers-crossed: I am new!
I flashed AOKP's jellybean ROM for AT&T last night and ever since then my speakerphone volume is really low. It's almost the same volume as the regular speaker. I can't hardly tell the difference between when it's on speakerphone and not.
Not sure what to do! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I am running AOKP as well, although i haven't yet used my speakerphone, when my volume is up my notifications can be deafening at times...especially high pitched squeals and the like. Try going into the settings>rom control>sound menu and enable the volume panel. This enables you to selectively adjust the volumes for each sound group (for lack of a better word). This is similar to the stock sound menu with greater control. With this enabled when you adjust your sound using the rocker buttons you will see a mixer icon on the right, press that to open the volume panel and try adjusting the sounds that way. I've found the best setup for me is to crank up the phone volume, and then put the notification and music levels somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 full. Its worth mentioning i also have my volume levels linked so that they all scale up and down together, this way my phone volume isn't all the way down while the notifications remain loud for example. This setting is found in the settings>sound menu.
I enabled that and it was turned all the way up. But I turned it down and then turned it back up and now it works great. Thank you so much!

So I'm on moar V 5.0; how can I link the ringer volume with notification volume?
Love this rom but hate that only ringer volume goes up when using your volume keys. I never even turn up ringer, I by habit am thinking I'm turning up notifications, which I am sadly not. I have to go and manually do it.
Is there a way to link the 2?

since nobody else responded i'll give it a shot. i think (i've switched from moar so i'm going by memory) if you go system settings>sound>volumes in the middle of that pop up menu there is a checkable box that links them
hope that helps
When using my headphones for regular audio playback, the volume is OK and can be controlled at multiple levels.
Whenever I receive or make a call, however, the volume is WAY too loud. Furthermore, I cannot control the volume using the volume rocker or the volume slider. No settings anywhere seem to have any effect on this.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 currently. Generally I wait for a "proper" stable release rather than the monthlies before updating.

Please report this to the Rom's Thread.
However you may try one thing. While you are in an ongoing call, press volume down button. That's the only time and place to control in-call volume. Otherwise that setting isn't available.

I'll report it there, though i've just gone to to the Monthly snapshot in hopes that its remedied. If not, nothing gained nothing lost, and i can tweak my rom till the settings are fixed, or go to a different rom or something. Maybe a stock based rom where i'll install my own launcher. (if theres a stock rom with injected features and such, that would be fantastic).
I did try this though, and the volume buttons do nothing for the in call volume (while in a call), nor does sliding the slider during a call.
EDIT: problem is still there in 10.2 M1.
best to report this in the dedicated thread. i have been using cm10 without an issue of such. but then again im not on the latest nightly.
