Silently, I Turn

billroperFor some unknown reason, my phone stopped making a sound when text messages would come in. It would vibrate, but there was no sound. I spent an interminable amount of time looking at the notifications settings for the Messages application with absolutely no luck. Everything indicated that I should be hearing an alert, but it wasn't happening.
I finally found the problem. Apparently, the *volume* for notifications had been set to zero on an entirely different screen that controls the volume level for various types of rings.
You'd think that there might be a link between the "turn on sound for notifications screen" and the "set the volume for notifications screen". But you would be very, very wrong.
I love good UI design.
Excuse me, I would love to be the beneficiary of some good UI design...
(This is not the time to try to convince me to switch to an iPhone. Really.)
