Typical issue:
- about to start some app that makes noise (game, paused music player, etc)
- trying to lower volume in advance, by using the volume button: doesn't work, controls the ringer volume instead as the phone is not playing any sound yet
- start app: LOOOOUUUUDDDDDD... until i can lower volume using volume button.
Question: any way to change the behaviour of the volume button so it controls AT ALL TIMES the media volume?
Thanks!
Don't know about any app that would do that, but you can go to sound settings before opening games, media, players, etc. and lowering the media volume before starting those apps.
Stick a finger over the speaker hole until you're able to lower the volume, it effectively mutes it. (except in very, very quiet environments)
Hi, I'm a newbie,
and i feel your problem as well.
Who in the world often change the ringer volume?
Most people will want it either at maximum volume, or minimum volume (off, at silent mode)
Most people (i believe i speak for most people),
would rather have the volume rocker to control the media volume.
Is there a better fix for this? Please help.
covering the volume hole is a nice trick, but its not really an effective solution.
Man who stick hole in finger better sticking finger in settings sounds and adjusting sound levels no ???

Click to expand...

I have been using the finger up the butt method lol
would be nice to control only media volume with volume button
Does this only happens on the SGS2?
Or all android devices?

I use a "lock the ringer" app for this purpose alone.
If I could reprogram the volume buttons to always only affect the media, I could even get rid of the above app.
Loads of custom ROMs and custom stock ROMs have the option to have the volume expandable so when you tap the rocker the dialer volume appears but then there's a little settings icon at one end and you can tap that and media, notification and alarm volume all appear
when I put my ringtone volume up and down via the volume buttons I don't think my notification volume goes up and down with it. I have to go Into sound settings and move notification volume manually..
is there a way to make it go in unison?

in apps like audio manager (which also has a pleasant side effect ) you can see all the different volumes there are.
alarm
music
notification
ringer
system
voice
so to be able to control all these different volumes with one volume rocker, it only changes the volume of currently active stuff, in a call, you can set the in call volume, yet not the music volume and while listening to music you will not be able to set the ringer volume, unless you do that either through system settings, an app like audio manager, or by triggering a sound of the category and pressing vol up or down in that situation.
Hi,
I'm wondering for a long time on how to change the individual volume of different functionality. For e.g. the Ring volume and Music Player volume.
I always want to set the ring volume to the maximum. And when i get into the games or Zune, and when i start adjusting the volume it should not bring down my ring volume. It happens that while i hear music i set the volume to 15 and i forget to raise it up again. I results in I missing some of the phone calls because the ring volume is also in 15. Can somebody help in this. THANKS!!!
Regards,
Praveen
That it currently not an option. The only volume on Windows Phone right now is Master Volume. :|
Is it possible to link the media and notification volume? So when I mute my volume via the volume buttons, that the media volume is also muted. I hope you understand, what i mean . It's similar to the volume management on the iPhone.
I'm using CM10.1 on my Nexus 4.
Sounds to be a nice idea. I would also like to know about an app which will do the same.. For time being i think you can depend on some notification widgets which will disable the media volume..
Hello,
Im really satisfied with my phone.
Im OK with the speaker volume while listening podcasts or anything that uses it.
But, when I make any videocall (whatever app), the volume sound is so low!!!
Is there anyway to increase it on videocalls?
Thanks
are you sure you are adjusting call volume instead of just media volume? when you're on a call and adjust the volume, you can click the down arrow on the volume notification and adjust each volume individually
