Hi. I am running FreedomOS-1.6-CE and my problem is that when i use the volume down button, it does not go down to vibrate then silent. It will only go to the lowest volume possible. I have tried using the notification slider application but it does not work.
Any tips would be helpful.
Thanks

Is there a way to link my phone ringtone and notification volume together?
On my G2x, under Settings > Sound > Volume, there was a checkbox to make the notification and ringtone volume the same. So when I pressed the volume down button to turn my ringtone volume down, it would also turn my notification volume down. But on the GSII, I can bring my ringtone volume down low, but my notifications will still blare. The only way to adjust the notification volume is by going all the way into the sound settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a newborn at home, and when I'm home, i want my sounds low, but when I leave the house, I want everything back all the way up. I don't want to have to go into the sound settings each time I need to raise/lower my notification volume.
Maybe an app?
Thanks!
Get Quick Settings from the Market. It has that option. I only get that app for this exact reason.

nice! works fantastic!

Volume rocker does not go to SILENT, only vibrate...
I had this working but I am not sure if I am the only one.
Volume up gives you more volume
Volume down goes to vibrate then one more gives you silent but I cannot get the silent option anymore.
What gives?

it should "click" one more past the vibrate mode to give you silent. Thats what it does for me.

Once I go from the lowest volume setting to 'vibrate mode', there is nothing past that. only options i have are silent with vibrate, or audio with vibrate. I don't like it, as there are times i don't want my phone to vibrate at all.
Does anybody know of a fix?

I had the same problem must have absolute silence, no vibrate allowed!
Here's how I did it: when you swipe down for your notification bar, uncheck the "VIBRATE" setting (should be third one from the left: Wifi, GPS, Vibrate).
It should change your vibrate to mute.

Doing that works for me -- but alas no volume rocker silence mode.
"simple sound widget" is a nice add on. Just pull down notification tap on it and you can go into complete silent mode with no vibrating or s voice accidentally talking.

On my (stock) phone, there are at least three ways to mute the phone.
(1) Press the volume-down button until the volume goes to Vibrate. Then release the button and press it again. It changes to Mute.
(2) Swipe down on the notification bar. There's an icon that cycles among Sound, Vibrate, and Mute.
(3) Long-press the power button. The pop-up menu has Sound, Vibrate, and Mute icons at the bottom.
The last two options work even when the phone is locked.

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
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.

That will be sweet if you can ^.^
When I first got the phone it was hit-or-miss if the volume keys would adjust the ringtone volume, then there was a software update and everything seemed to work right. Then there was another update and now, no matter what I select, the ringtone can not be adjusted just by pressing the volume buttons...I have to press the button (which adjusts the media volume) pull down the media notification to expand the volume sliders, adjust the ringtone volume manually.
In SOUNDS AND VIBRATION, the "Use Volume keys for media" is unchecked.
I'm stumped. Has anyone else seen this?
BTW, this phone is from Sprint and is still bone stock.

There is also a toggle for that option under the volume sliders of the actual expanded dropdown when you hit the volume button, not sure if these two are linked, I would imagine so but toggle it on off anyway

Thanks for replying, but I just as I finished writing this question, there was a software update. I installed that, and guess what? My volume issue was fixed. I guess I wasn't the only one with this problem.
Oh, by the way, that toggle you spoke of was off in both places.
TL;DR: Volume rocker only changed media volume no matter the setting...ended up being corrected with latest software update.
