Notification Volume

[Medpros]

Since the new update for the Bionic, I seem to only be able to adjust the notification volume (texts) in the System Settings menu, instead of with the volume control on the side of the phone.  Is this true, or am I missing something?  It is very inconvenient having to go through the System Settings menu twice a day to turn the text notification volume up and down.  And because this is new, sometimes I forget (I know, duh, right?) to turn the volume back up and I miss messages.  Please help.

No, you aren't missing anything, unless I am, too.    The side volume buttons don't work like they used to.
