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..

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 ???

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
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..

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.
Can someone help me make my Flyer, running stock, but rooted, 2.3.4, volume buttons only control media volume? When I first got it, it did media volume only, and I prefer that since it stays on vibrate for notifications. I did the OTA updates for 2.3.4 and they changed it to controlling notification volume if not in a program (or any sound playing), and it drives me nuts!
On Kitkat, my volume button was controling the media volume without affecting the Ringone or notifications.
Not with Lollipop, my volume button controle Media sounds, but if I lower it down, it also lower my Ringtone... Is there a way to keep Ringtone volume to Max no matter what ?
