Most things have cleared up a bit with my HTC phone since the update. Most of the cosmetic/aesthetic things I felt were not functioning properly. (Scenes and such under personalize.) Now this may not be a big deal to most people but I have had this option since my last phone. Before the update, I could separate notifications volume from regular phone calls (ringtone) volume. Now however they are combined without so much as an option to change it. I get more texts than phone calls however, when I do get a call it’s usually important and I like the volume to be up loud enough that I will hear it. With the volume as one thing, I cannot do this. I get too many text messages and I have no 'none' in the notifications sounds. I checked to be sure, as this would give me less of a reason to be ticked about it.
With no "none" or "Off" for Notification sounds. I need the notification volume to; in the least, have the option of being separate from ringtones. Please for the love of all things, add something... If you are going to remove an option add in another or leave it there...
It's so dang frustrating all I'd rather do is take it back to the store.
I am currently using the 'facebook pop' notification sound. It’s the shortest, softest sound I could find in the list. I may try looking for a sound that is the equivalent of none from somewhere else. Assuming that between HTC and Verizon the incompetence levels are going to stay this high, given the sheer number of problems people are having currently. I am in the least glad that I am only frustrated about one or two things.
I’d also like to note that with the update it changed the dynamics of the personalization options to where if you do not have it set up in personalization to be default for both ringtone and notification sounds. They will not change in the settings for those sounds (where most people and myself go to change things like this…)
