Hi everybody,
I've disagreements with function of volume button in "normal mode".. because ring volume is absolutely useless for me.. I would like control media volume instead of ring volume in "normal mode".. Does anyone know how I can do that?
Thank you very much
PS: sorry for my EN
really nobody knows?
When media are being played, the volume keys adjust media volume,
so why would anyone need to adjust media volume without playing any already?

because..for example:
I'm browsing on internet and I want click on some video. But I remember in last time I was listening to music very loudly and I don't want loud video now.. the easiest way is click on video and after that pressing "-" volume button.. but phone takes time to know he is in "media mode", and begins reducing ring volume.. after that I want back my level of ring volume to max, but phone already increasing media volume => I am very angry!!
the same in games etc etc...
I don't want changing ring volume 10x a day (knowingly or UNINTENTIONALLY too) I don't need change it ever. I can recuce it in Settings, or completely in lock screen...
That's why...

Happens to me too, i use an app from the market called status bar shortcuts, so i pinned the volume settings right in the status bar so i can adjust the media volume quickly
You could try that

thank you mate, I know about this app but it still doesn't solve my problem... It will be a lot better to adjust something in system and change ring volume to media volume in function of volume button but I don't know where and how..

hi guys,
i love the samsung galaxy s2 phone, but i have a question.
Whilst using the phone, i end up accidently pressing the volume button and this can sometimes mean i put the "Notification" or "Ringer" volume really down.
I only want to be able to control such options by actually going into the Settings menu, so is there a way to disable this button or somehow change it's functionality?
BUMP!
Surely someone must have the answer?

I guess so nyssa, but many also still have their mobiles, watching this forum and are still replying to many questions on this forum.
Hey there. Have you even tried searching in the market? The very first app for "volume" query can do just that

thanks aj rockwell. That app i believe only helps you adjust settings with volume. I actually want to Remap buttons, so that the volume button cannot adjust sounds other than "IN-CALL volume"
this is so annoying, I was going to open a thread with the some issue. Is any chanse,mod which can switch a default option when we press volume from ringer volume to media volume. many times by incident I turn ringer volume down and I dont hear a ringer.
@ x7 - Halleluyah! At last i find someone who has exactly the issue as myself.
Guys, all i want is some app that can disable the volume button from controlling the MEDIA's/NOTIFICATION's volume. The only way i want to control these is by actually going to SETTINGS>SOUND ...surely there must be an app that can REMAP the Volume key functions?
I agree, why Samsung did this think That you can change volume ringer by pressing a volumes button? This is so silly

the only thing we can do x7 is hope that someone on here will know a fix for this volume issue.
I took a look in android market but I havent found anythink
I checked too, but could not find anything. The only one i have seen whilst searching on google, is Button Remapper. But there is no information to say that this app is safe for the SGS2.
Anyone? Help!
x7nofate mate, pls ignore the replies. I feel like such a twat now . It looks like AJ.Rockwell was right...i never properly tried the recommended app and was too quick to ignore it's features.
Download "Volume Control +" from android market and install it.
Once installed, set the volume for all the media/ring/notifications. Then simply goto the options where it allows you to lock each individual type of tone. So for example if you don't want to decrease your ringtone volume by accident, then select that.
Save your settings and you should have a little lock icon in your status bar.
Now when you put your volume for your ringtone down, it looks like its gone down again, right???? WRONG! Since Volume Control+ has locked it down, VC+ automatically forces it back to the "locked" settings. Genius!
Let me know how you get on mate!
PS: If you need any help or just wanna chat android, then PM me ur email and i'll add you to msn/yahoo/skype or whatever you use.
I installed a "Volume Control +" ages ago and I locked in settings but I can put my volume ringtone down anyway so I thought that it doesn't work but I was wrong. It works, thank you very much
Bump! I searched XDA on Google for this exact thread, my problem too. My question is, with that apps reccommendation (thanks for that), does it still bring up the volume OSD? That's my major annoyance, and something that happens to people whenever I pass my phone over to them.

I changed my phone recently, I'm on 4.2.2 and volume control+ doesn't work. Does anyone know other apk what does exactly the some job like volume control+?

There seems to only be 7 steps for volume on the S3. I've found that the lowest setting for notifications is still quite loud in a quiet setting. Is there anyway I can make it quieter without resorting to using quieter notification sounds?
I'm coming from a Droid 3 and the lowest setting was perfect, it was just loud enough for me to hear at my desk without it bothering others.
Now I have to keep my S3 on vibrate at work, and it's annoying for me because I never seem to hear/feel the vibration.

Do you mean Volume Control + by Coffeebreak Apps? (sorry can't post links yet) I tried that but it has the same limitations as the stock settings, just 7 predefined steps.
Or do you mean Volume+ (Volume Boost) by Meltus? I don't see how that app would help but I guess I'll try it.
Thanks.
Update: I installed Volume+ from androidaudiohacks dot com. I changed the levels to the lowest setting on everything and it made no difference to the notification volume :-\
I know I've seen one at least that does smaller steps, but I can't remember what it is called. I saw it when I search "volume widget"

I've tried a couple dozen different apps but they all seem to be tied directly to the same system settings that can't make it any quieter. If you happen to know of a specific one that might I would love to hear it (if you have the time that is, I'm not trying to inconvenience you)
There is a setting in build.prop. you can set it up to 20. Can't remember its name tho

Hmm really? It lowered the volume of your notification sounds? My hearing is average, it's just that it didn't actually lower the sound for me. Perhaps I did something wrong? I'll try again later tonight and see if that is the case.
I'm also looking for a quieter volume setting. I'm surprised how loud the ringtone and notifications are at the quietest setting.
I suppose rooting and getting a custom rom might be the way to achieve this but having already bricked one S3 I'm a bit wary about diving right back into the pool! But if someone happens to find a ROM that gives more volume control let me know!
Volume Rocker?
Are you turning the notification volume down with the volume rocker? I just realized that the notification volume does not match the ringer volume as you adjust it with the volume rocker. On my Evo 4G I could check a box that made them adjust up and down at the same time. On the GS3 I have to press the volume rocker then press the settings button that is visible in the ringer volume pop up. From there I can adjust the notification volume independantly.
It does however mute the notifications when the ringer is set to vibrate or mute.
Can someone build that into a ROM? Where the notification and ringer volume go up and down together?

No I use a widget (Widgetsoid) that lets me change the two independently. If I wanted to I could check the box at the top (see attached screenshot) and then the volume rocker would adjust both at once.
I never had any luck getting Volume+ to alter the volume of my notifications.

Are you mistaking the notification level for system level? System sounds kill my ears, and I actually have to adjust it through Settings > Sound > Volume. Looks like Widgetsoid might be an easier method, instead of going through settings every time. Also, I set a schedule in the Timeriffic app, so that it's ever too loud for me anymore.

Well, I thought I made some progress on this.
As you can see from the attachment, I did get there to be more steps. I had to make some adjustments to framework.jar to get it to change.
BUT, it doesn't do much good.
For the ringer volume steps 9-17 are silent. 8 is the loudest. 18 is the quietest..
For the notification volume, step 1 is still just as loud as before, and steps 8-15 are silent, so that was completely pointless. I'll edit the framework to have ringer and notifications be 30 to see if that does anything. It's really a crapshoot of what I'm editing, there are no descriptions just hex characters.
i found tht xperia s haptic feedback vibration is so light, like samsung gs2 can increase their vibration level through setting, first i though tht xperia s cant change anything bout vibration level, but after i use go keyboard at play store, i found tht is a option to increase vibration level while using keyboard. so now i wondering, is tht any option to increase haptic feedback of xperia s oso? whtever apps or mod?
Yes it does have option to increase haptic feedback. Just go to settings/language & input/(go to settings of your xperia keyboard, probably default but if you use chinese or japanese make sure that you go to your keyboard settings), scroll down to sound and there you are.

Don't know for that, but haptic feedback for buttons is just fine, at least for me.

Works perfectly
Screenshot only shows buttons as "on". I can't grab a screenshot of the actual working sliders, but it is working and has a lovely feel to it.
No you can't control them separately.
