In notification panel, the sound icon allows me 3 modes. 1 is default all sounds. 2nd is vibrant with some sounds and 3rd mute everything.
But when I chage to third mode i.e pressing sound icon 2nd time then playing any music, i can still get the sound i.e it is not actually muting the media sound.
This was not the case for my previous phone. With one touch, i was able to every thing.
Is there a way to mute all sounds with one touch widget? Or is this a bug with existing notification widget?
This has always been the case with Samsung phones. The mute mode turns off notifications/ringtones only. This comes in handy when people watch movies/videos or listen to music (which use media volume) and don't want to be interrupted by notification sounds.

Searched around, can't seem to find a solution to this puzzling problem..
I flashed EnergyROM on my Tilt2, everthing was fine for about 2 weeks. Then, one gloomy day, notifications/alarms just stopped ringing. I get no audio notification when email/sms arrive. Also, when I use the hardware volume buttons on tilt and try to adjust the volume - there is no sound when I do (you know that little "bell" sound when you change volume? it's not there).
Regular windows notification settings are all there, manila's settings are all set (volume is at 100%)..
What still works is ringtones and playing music/videos. Also, I do hear a ringtone when I'm getting a call.
It may be something minor.. any ideas?
I've had this happen on RC2 as well...
After I've put the volume all the way down (vibrate only mode) and then turned the volume back up, none of my notification sounds will play. When I get sms/email the vibrate will go off but not the tone. I've checked Handcent and GMail settings and they both have a tone selected. However, once I get a txt/email, only vibrate no sound. My call ringtones, volume up/down, apps, music..etc works, but no notification.
Anyone help?
Grab Audio Guru from the market. It lists out all the system sound modes and lets you control all six of them individually. I had this happen once and found one of my sound controls set to zero. Used the slider in Audio Guru to increase it to max, problem solved.
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.
It appears that choosing the silent option in the quick settings is not enough: the phone will mute notifications, but not the music player. An accidental tap on a music or video file will start it playing, with boomsound and all.
How can I mute the phone completely, such that video would automatically be muted and musuc as well. On a PC that's trivial - one can just turn off the speakers and the machine will not produce any sound regardless of whether you click on the music fule or not. Is thete an equivalent here?
no one? so it's not possible to "turn off" the phone speakers?
So, I'm not alone being interested in silencing the phone, there is now an Xposed module for doing that, but the video is not clear on whether it will actually work on Sense ...

Umm just turn down your media volume to 0 and that should do it.
Heya,
so, as the title says, I'm having issues muting the notification and app sounds, while still allowing phone calls to get through and ring the phone out loud.
In the past, this was achievable by the Do Not Disturb mode. Right now however, it doesn't mute notifications anymore, as that is now done by the new "silent" mode. But that one also mutes incoming calls, which is completely unusable for me (I have occasional on-call nights when I need to be available on my phone, even if I'm sleeping, yet find the constant pinging of the apps super annoying).
The only working solution I found was to go into notification settings and block notifications from most of the very frequent apps... Which is annoying, as I also have to not forget to toggle the notifications back the next day.
Is there still a way to achieve the "Mute media and notifications, keep calls" combo in Android 12 + MIUI 13? Thanks!
On most phones the phone ringtone and notification volume is separate, is that not the case in your device?

Unfortunately not, instead, I have media, calls and alarm clock (as seen in the screen).
If I mute media, I still get notification and call sounds. If I mute the bell, I no longer get either. Dnd has no effect on the notification sounds.

This certainly sucks, can't every smartphone company share good things from each other instead of adopting all the bad changes. look around on Google maybe there are apps for this.

Hey have you found any solution? As I'm also struggling with same problem
It sucks, but until they fix it, you can use this app.
On the downside, it not only mutes sound, but completely mutes the notification including the badges , though. Anyone please post if you have a better solution.
i know im late. but i found a fix. (kinda) if you remove your notification sound completely. through settings, notifications and vobrations, notification sound and then while in the themes app. ringtone, and then no romg tone. even tho i thaught it changed the ringtone. if you go through settings first. ot will change the notification sound and not the ringtone. hope this helped
While waiting patiently for A13 ROMs for my current daily driver to mature a bit more I am using a silent audio file for the notification sound. I can't believe all these years MIUI still doesn't have an option to unlink calls and notification volume.
