Any new fixes for volume or ringer notifications

[srfoot]

Has anyone seen changes in the new update that addresses:

Ringer volume (instead of using volume+)

Separation of notifications, day/night, etc? (so can get important (business) messages when all other alerts silenced)

Or any new apps to correct this?

Thank you.

I got nothing on your volume issue.

Pretty sure you will not have the separation of notifcations. If It is there, I missed it. Have you looked at Profiles in Cyanogenmod? Those do exactly what you want for several default profiles, including default/night/work/silent, and the ability to create whatever more you want. Profiles are pretty sweet, doing more than just independent volume control too, including disabling data, wifi/gps/lotsofstuff on/off. You can even go deeper for individual app stuff.

I will shut up if rooting is out of the question. I am talking about flashing a ROM to solve a problem, so.

There is also Tasker(app, root), which you can essentially script based on time of day, toggles you make (etc) and independently change volumes. Tasker is more difficult to get started with, but is not limited to just volume control either. Its a lot like a graphical script creator. Profiles is easier for just volume control, but Tasker is useful for quite a few tweaks that are very specific to you (start Pandora when detecting connect to car BT, Also enable screen rotation, set screen timeout to 59m, and so on. You can get Super Geeky in addition to the basic stuff if you wanted to.

You can cover a lot of ground with both Profiles and Tasker .

Throw in NFC tags ftw.

Thank you for your great reply.
I originally came from a blackberry.
I was actually hoping not to have to root my phone.
Too bad that updates really have not addressed users needs and have not come out in a timely manner.
I have not received the Ota update yet.
I will wait for the update and see if there are any other changes.
Thank you.

I then may need to learn the best method to root and best mod.

I feel your pain I too was a BB user and miss the separation of phone and notifications. I an unlocked and rooted now bit have not dabbled with setting up
Different times for my volumes to change as my schedule is not the same every night. I used Wigs to root very easy and use AOKP for my rom. Best of luck I don't see the separation thing happening with a Droid unless someone is able to write the script needed and if it is possible to do so
