Hi all,
I've had a search around for answers to my question but can't find any. I've recently upgraded from my beloved HTC HD2 to a Samsung Galaxy S II. The HD2 had consolidated volume controls, which means there's one volume rocker on the side of the handset that controls all of the device's sounds, including media, notifications and ringer, all at once. The Galaxy S II (and I presume Android in general) seems to have numerous volume controls. I thought I'd put it on silent but when I play a game for example, I get sound. I want to be able to have one single volume control for media, ringer, notifications etc. Does anybody know of a way to do this in Android? I'm new to Android, having migrated from Windows Mobile 6.5. It's nice being able to install and use some apps, something that was very poor in Windows Mobile 6.5.
Cheers,

consolidate...
well...did you figure it out?
Jkay app has a volume lock so notifications are the same as ringtone volume. Not sure there might be apps on Google play that do something similar to what OP wanted.

I went trhou the forum, but I couldn't find an answer...
I know that Journada 928 has a sligthly different volume management that allow you to set different volumes for system (when you use any software, including media player and so on) and phone (when it rings).
The XDA seems not to support such config. I saw that you can change the volume during a telephone call, but you cannot make anything on the ring volume. Is there any solution?
Regards,
Hi ...
It seems you have a PPC2002 ROM. You have to upgrade to any WM 2003 ROM. It has 2 sliders for the system and the phone volumes.
I often use my phone to listen to the bible and listen to other things. But i really want to be able to turn on some background music with low volume and turn up the voices of my bible app.
Is there any app put there that could allow me to do better mixing?

I am looking to solve a similar problem.. I often use google navigation and google play music at the same time while driving; i don't like the music extremely loud, but if i set the music at a reasonable volume, I often cannot hear the navigation voice prompts clearly.
Will the above app let me turn up just the navigation voice prompts without affecting the music that is playing in the background at the same time? I think that both are outputed on the media audio channel, so if the app is just changing the volume at the level of the media channel it probably wont work.
Any ideas / experience is appreciated..
Thanks!
App volume can manage only the media stream, actually is not possible to separate per app streams with app volume app ...

It'd be awesome if some developer could manage to add the app's icon and volume slider to the default android volume bar upon expanding it..
just use automateit or tasker...

Here's what worked for me.
VLC media player has an equalizer that allows you to lower the volume of a song. Play songs on that at a lower volume and then find another application that allows you to run a separate media track to play audio tapes at a higher volume (my Lyrics Mania app works for this).
I just downloaded an app that worked:
App Volume Manager (for Android)
It is a relatively new app. You set the start up volume for the different apps. I just started using it. There are two issues with using this app:
1. I think it is a 21 day trial
2. I havn't been able to change volume realtime using the app.
For me it works because I just set the start of volume to what I am looking for. It is made to set the start volume not the real time volume.
Could you please shared the play store link?
I cannot figure out to find it.
Thank you

I believe this is the app referred to above:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jappstudio.appvolumemanager&hl=en
..haven't had time to try it, but the description indicates the free version is limited to three applications, but can be unlocked for about a dollar.
with 'App Volume Control' you can choose the volume for each app
non of this propositions work for me, but i know it is possible because when i start soundcloud and after flytube then soundcloud volume is decreased over the flytube.
Hi,
I m looking for the same, did you find it?
Thanks
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am looking for the same thing. App Volume Control does not work for what the OP was asking for. What we want is something that will adjust volume settings per app under one main setting ie; Media, Ringtone, System etc. Example. I'm playing a game that requires sound on for certain things but also want to listen to Spotify while I play. Both use the Media setting. Is there an app that will adjust boths volume to ones desired levels. App Volume Control does not do this and even states it's not possible.
Dont think it can be done on android as of yet.
It all gets played through "media".
Example playing a podcast in background while playing a game, and you want the game volume lower.
On pc's one way around this is virtual cables and virtual mixers, so if someone was able to funnel each apps audio virtually (with ability to set each individually with a slider) before it gets sent to the "media" sound slider would be a great idea.
Having download Poweramp, because it allows you to play sound simultaneously with other music player, lower the sound of what you need to play using the equalizer function. That way, you have the main music player, playing what you want on a high sound and power amp playing music on a low sound.
SoundAssistant by Samsung lets you control the volume of app running at the same time I use it to have 2 things playing over each other. It works perfect!
I think it only works with galaxy phones though.
Wow achieved it Samsung Sound Assistant. Thanks.
I m shocked there is still not a solution for non galaxy devices.
in my use case I would also be happy with just muting one specific app while allowing the other to be controlled by the media stream. Anyone know if this is possible?

I'm looking for this too in other forum and got the answer that at this time Sound Assistant from Samsung just can do this thing.
I know this is a problem with many Android phones. A notification, ringer, navigation, etc will all mute or pause-mute music playing in the background. Is there any way to fix/hack/mod the phone to instead dim the music, and play the notification, ringer, navigation simultaneously?
This is my main gripe and possibly only gripe with Android phones. I really don't want an iPhone, so it irks me that this functionality is possible there and not on my SGS2.
Any tips would be appreciated. If nothing exists, I request the development of such a mod please.
i agree with you. it really annoys me when the music pauses whenever a notification comes in, especially when i'm listening to music in my car. i've been searching for an answer for this and i haven't been able to find anything. i would think with a rooted phone there would have to be some way to change this so hopefully someone comes up with a fix soon.
Hey everyone, I've recently started using the HTC One but I don't really know what's going on with the controls on the headset that comes with the phone. There is only one button. One click is for play/pause, but double click redials my last call, instead of going to the next track. I've tried apps like headset button controller and it doesn't seem to be able to recognize my button clicks. Have any of you had this problem and what do you recommend I do?
yeah see here, It's the stock musicplayer that has the issue. Headset Drloid and another music app like Google Music were my solution

same problem here, i did what you mention, however, nothing happens, keeps calling the last person.
Holding the button for 1+ sec changes the track for me... But I have to be careful cause holding it too long brings up voice commands
HTC headset button - I can't get them to work properly
Hi everyone!
I was looking all over to find a way to use the remote controls of my Sennheiser and Urbanears Headsets with my HTC one for Music controls and calls reliably. However, I can't seem to get it to work and was hoping that someone here could help me out.
I really highly appreciate your help and I am willing to donate 10 USD for a working solution!
Phone: HTC One
Android Version: 4.2.2
HTC Sense Version: 5.0
Software: Android Revolution HD 12.1
HTC SDK API Level: 5.34
Kernel: 3.4.10-gd6147e
Music App: Grooveshark
I was trying everything I could find on the Internet to fix the Headset button behaviour. Two apps from the Google Play Store did better than the rest: Headset Button Controller and Philips Headset. However, none of them was able to interpret Headset button requests reliably. The apps would only react in about 5 % of the time to multiple clicks (Next track, Previous track, volume control etc). The authors of the app said, that my Custom ROM is probably the reason it is not working. Can that be true?
Does anyone know a reliable solution to use the Headset for Music controls or to be able to use it realiably with third Party apps such als Headset Button Controller? The intermediary solution I found was to interchange the key assignment of keys 163 and 226 - now I can at least Change to next track by click of a button, but thats it - no other functions with multiple clicks.
For sure the clicks on the button are registered by the phone - because I can see that it reacts, but for whatever reason only a limited number is actually interpreted by third Party apps.

If your phone is rooted you can try HeadsetMod from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423160.
EDIT : Didnt notice that you are using grooveshark app. Not sure if it works with that. Its tested only with the default music app.
My phone is always on vibrate, but even then when I'm listening to music I still have the notification sound going off when I get a text or email. I tried disabling all sounds and the notification will still go off in my headphones regardless of what mode the phone is in. Any way to fix that?
+1 Seems a rather common problem and I have not been able to find a fix...
I think its a General android problem which if i remember correctly google said they have changed in Android 5.0 but thats months Away from us
There is a xposed module i think caled DO NOT DISTURB which prevents alot of things interupting music play
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I couldn't find that, but most of the apps I've found simply put the phone in silent/vibrate based on different events.
I wouldn't mind it if the interruptions were limited to Ringer mode, but lowering volume while on vibrate or silent? That just ruins the music experience.
