On both iPhone and the new blackberry 10 phones. You can disable volume buttons turning the ringer up. You can make it so the volume buttons only controls media and nothing else no matter where you are.how do you do this on android.?
I don't think I've seen that option on any of the Android versions. But maybe if we had xposed working you could have a mod to make it work.

Is anyone using automation apps to improve your tablet s experience? Please share any relevant tips you have.
I just used Tasker to fix something that's been annoying me about the tablet s. No matter what I set the volume to, the key click sound stayed pretty loud. I created a tasker profile to change the system volume whenever media volume changes. The buttons on the side control media volume. Now when I turn the volume up or down, the key click changes too. If anyone is interested, I can post the profile for download
Edit: Media volume goes up to 15. System volume goes to 7. To get the desired effect, system should be set to half of media
I did not know tasker works without root. Thanks
It doesn't seem to matter what the volume is set to, my media volume (almost) always has a slash through it and doesn't play media sounds (games, music, etc). I'm not sure what causes it or how I can fix it. The phone seems to do it randomly.
It hasn't always been this way, it comes and goes. I've watched Netflix and heard the music to Tiny Tower which both use the Media volume. Restarting my phone has shown to help at times but so far it always comes back. I'm hoping a firmware update can fix it.
I have no audio apps for monitoring volumes and none of the Motion settings that would affect audio are turned on. I keep my phone on vibrate 24/7 but still wish to have the media volume work separately than the ringer volume. I have (self-taught) experience in rooting, applying mods, general android app development, as well as every day usage with the android OS and this has me incredibly annoyed that I can't figure this out.
How can I explicitly mute/unmute my media volume?
Stock, no root, Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III (SPH-L710) Android 4.0.4 Hardware version L710.14
Do you mute/ vibrate from notifications - I can imagine that will override the sound settings. Set ringtone to zero and media to desired level?
No, I only ever change the volume through the volume rocker when I'm in an app that uses the media volume. I also never change the volume of notifications, they're muted and set to vibrate. The only volume I ever use or change is the media volume.
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!
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..
Since One UI 4 hardware volume buttons always controls the local media volume, even when using an app that provides remote volume like BluOS, casting, You Tube DIAL or similar. The Remote volume is in the volume panel, it is just not connected to the hardware keys.
Is there a way to fix this?
Unfortunately I can no longer downgrade since the latest version bumped the security version. I tried installing a GSI rom as an alternative but unfortunately they just have too many issues to be usable.
