Help shortcut to lower text volume?

I think that is the "notification volume" it controls text and email alerts. It is tied to ringtone volume, and can only be separated out with a custom ROM/OS (I think there are a few that do this --- I haven't tried them though).

I use widgetsoid with a volume button on my homescreen to open a window of volume sliders. Hope that helps, sorry if I misunderstood what you are asking.

I thought that the side volume rocker controlled both ringtone and notification volumes but it only controls ringer (as I was rudely awakened by the full volume of a text message early this morning when I thought I put everything on very low).

It does on mine....in fact, for me, I don't think there's a way to segregate the two...

In the settings menu I have one volume level for "music, video, games, and other media" another volume level for "Ringtone & notifications" and one volume level for "alarms"


Are you using an app for notifications that moves text messages into one of the other categories?
