Playstation Mobile - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Pretty straight forward request, how can I disable the startup sound of Playstation Mobile? I've noticed it's linked to the Ringtone & Notification volume and because of that, it's really inconvenient (such as I don't want to have media volume up but because of what I do I need to be alerted to incoming calls and texts etc) and the sound is rather annoying.
(Please note I'm not rooted at the moment).

Most likely not. Unless you find a rom where it has a separate sound control for apps.

Per-App volume control

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.

[Q] Consolidate volume controls?

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,
[email protected]
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.

[Q] Notifications interrupt music playback even on vibrate.

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

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.

.314 Bug or just for me?

Just updated to .314 (Canada) via Sony pc companion. Does anyone else notice this issue :
This firmware update was supposed to fix the notification volume but it sounds the same to me. When I select a notification sound, the volume is loud on the playback sample. But when I actually get a notification (text email etc), it's much quieter.
Is this just a bug on my end or do others have this issue as well? If it's on my end, would restoring or repairing the firmware via Sony pc companion fix it?

Well, I'm on
on .55 firmware, and the notifications doesn't play trough both speakers, also they messed with my music. Check when you receive a notification if it plays trough both speakers.

It plays through both speakers, but it's not as loud as when I test the sample notification when choosing the notification sound.

Agreed - when you use Settings>Sounds to choose a ringtone or notification sound, the "test" output is pretty loud.
Once you receive a notification, the chosen sound is about half what it was when originally selected.
I have switched ascending ringtone on and off and it makes jack all difference.
Bit naff!
Do you mean increasing ringtone option under Settings>Sounds? I would like to test this as well.
Thnx in advance

Yes - seems to make no difference - it's called "Increasing Ringtone" - my bad.
I think I may know what it is but it isn't quite intuitive that Sony could possibly address this.
The playback sample is using the "Music, video games & other media" volume. It's when you actually get a notification or ringing it uses "Ringtone & notifications" volume so you have to adjust them accordingly.
In the case of mine in the screenshot, the volume on playback is louder unless I adjust it, but I left it as is so I don't have to adjust it after adjusting it for a ringtone/notifcaiton.

Sony doesn't mention anything about notification sound!

[MOD][XPOSED][1.1] RadarBeep alerts through Ringer stream

I'm using RadarBeep app in my car, but because my phone is paired to the car via Bluetooth, all the sounds that RadarBeep emits (radar alerts voice notification, radar proximity beeps,...) go to a channel that I would only normally hear if I put the car audio source to bluetooth. Unfortunately I prefer to listen to radio and by doing so I can't listen to RadarBeeps alerts... until now!
So I did this small xposed module, more as a small personal project to understand how to do it .
It seems to actually work, so I share it, maybe more people have the same need .
What I did is force all the RadarBeep sounds to go through the ringer stream, so you'll need to adjust the ringer volume on your phone accordingly. You can still lower the volume of Voice / Beeps from within RadarBeep. The master volume from RadarBeep settings won't work (as it adjusts the Media volume, not the Ringer volume).
Bugs can be expected, so bear with me
Download: see thread attachements.
I would love to see a universal version of this so we can re-route all sounds but will give this a try

What do you mean all sounds? All sounds from any app?
Maybe it would be possible. I'm not an expert in this. I managed to get it working as I needed for this case, not sure I would manage what you say, it sounds much more complicated. But Who knows.
Report back on your experience with this module please. Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my late response but i have more apps that have the same function as RadarBeep so it would be cool if you could reroute all audio from any app this way.
Would it be possible to change a setting somewhere (decompile and edit/replace something?) so it would use the sms app (from marshmallow) instead and send sms notifications to the ringer stream ?

I'm confused here, I don't understand what you mean with sms here, AFAIK RadarBeep doesn't send any SMS. Or do you mean that sms notification (not related at all with RadarBeep would ring through the ringer stream? (that should be possible I guess)

Hi, sorry for the confusion, yes the last part is what i mean, i had an xposed module to have sms notification in ringer stream up to kitkat 4.4 on my S4 but after lollipop it didn't work anymore and the dev. never updated his mod (so i had to leave my s4 at kitkat firmware only for this lol)
