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
So I understand that in ICS these are both bound by the system. So in that case when adjusting the volume with the side buttons shouldn't that not only adjust your ringer volume but the notification volume as well?
You are correct the notification and ringer volumes have been merged, now one in the same. I have an application called Audio Control which will give you separate notification and ringer volumes which can be found here:

Does anyone know any ROMs which have track control using the volume rocker OTHER THAN CM9??
or possibly a way to do track control with the Tasker App?
i mean is there a way to completley disable volume rockers and change them to brightness rockers
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 ?
