I've been having this issue where randomly my ringtone volume won't even work. And then when you goto the Settings>Sound and try to play other ringtones they don't play. There's no way for me to even adjust the volume using the Up/Down volume buttons. So I'm forced to reboot the phone. I don't use any ringtone apps, etc. Only what comes with the phone.
Let me know if you guys have been having any similar issues.

Is there any app for the xoom that will turn off all sounds for things like meetings? On the phones, there is one where all you do is press the power button and then choose silent sounds. Thanks!
Tasker , you have to do a step by step config , or try silent mode timer .
use the volume key to bring up the volume on the screen then click on the speaker, mutes everythng.

OP: Use what he said in the post above. It's built into the system, and literally takes half a second to do. That's what it's there for, right?
volume plus(+) app. it has two widgets, one is a profile shuffler. three profiles so either one or two clicks on your homescreen.
probably beats having to bring up settings or pressing the a bit hard to press volume keys.

This works well for the alarms and ringers, but certain apps *ALWAYS* ignore this setting and use full volume anyways.
Personally, I like and use Quick Settings. It works very well and lets you change settings quickly. You can quickly choose between silent, vibrate, sound only, or sound and vibrate with it.
I use AudioManager. You can set up widgets for whatever sounds you want/dont want.
i.e. I have 4. One for only Media sounds. One for only Systems sounds. One for all to be up, and one for all to be off. You create the widget and press it once and then profile will be applied. You can set each setting to a specific volume. For example, if you want to watch movies at a certain volume, create the widget, during the creation, choose the sound volume and save it. Same can be done for music. You can create a widget to have some sounds on, and some off. Its totally customizable and i highly recommend it.
They have a pro version as well.

I forgot there were physical volume keys. Thanks for the pointer except it only handles 2 of the 3 things that has sound to it. If you went to settings and then sound, you will notice that the third one with the clock is not set from the volume keys. The 2nd one is when you click on the 3 sliders icon on the right side after clicking on the volume button.
With phones, I use Silent Mode Jammer which basically turns off all sounds when pressing the power button but on the Xoom, even with Silent Mode Jammer enabled, pressing the power button only allows shutdown of the device.
Xoom doesn't vibrate are you using this for silence?

I installed Volume+, the paid version and I don't see the widgets when I tried to add widgets to the home screen, what is it called? Is Volume+ the app with the volume knob for it's icon?

Never thought about it lacking vibrate. LOL. Haven't found anything to silence it other than using the settings and the 3 sliders manually.
When I'm on a call (regular headset or speaker phone) and I press the volume buttons on the left of the phone, the display shows volume being changed up and down. But the actual call volume remains the same which is always loud.
The volume control buttons work for everything else (ringtone volume, Youtube, music, etc.), but just don't change the volume during calls. If there's a way to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
I would like to ask how to set the "Call" Volume for z5. Everytime I make a call in dialler or facebook, the volume is set to 1/4, and I still need to make the volume full. Is there a way to change it to default full volume, everytime I make a call?
SOLVED: INSTALLED Volume Switch that can locked the volume, and other apps cant override the settings.

With dialer you mean normal phone calls? If so i don't have this problem and seems an application is resetting the volume down.
You can try to boot in safe mode by holding the power off menu.

I think its the messenger from Facebook. Is there an existing app that will override the volume and will set it to full ALWAYS?
I don't know but you have to report this behavior to FB support so they can fix it.
When I try to change the volume, it defaults to the call volume , even when I'm doing something media related. The call volume option didn't even exist until recently. Why'd this start happening and how do I fix it? I use a Google Pixel btw.
Hi all
I saw an earlier thread on this but can't believe that it's not a bug that needs fixed.
My phone has no apps open, I unlock it and press the volume buttons and up pops a little window showing me that I am adjusting the media volume. This functionality used to be context sensitive, ie, in this case it would adjust the ringer, in a call it would adjust the call volume and when playing media it would adjust the media volume.
Now it's just the media volume and a few screen actions to adjust the ringer.
Surely this is a backwards step and a bug?
Does anyone know of a way to change this, or an app that can be associated with the volume controls to make it work properly?
Thanks
Michael
I don't know that there's a way to revert it to a previous Android way of handling it as it's the way Google built Pie's volume control to work.
FWIW, they did it for the millions out there who don't ever want to change the volume for their ringer/notifications once they get it set, especially if they start adjusting volume for something like a call before the context has kicked in, so you inadvertently adjust ringer volume instead of in-call volume. At least, that's what I assume it is because that's what happened with me. I have set my phone to vibrate as soon as it's out of the box, and with the new way of handling volume, I no longer have to deal with changing it off of that setting until I reset the phone. I love it.

Thanks for the reply, and the explanation Seamonkey. I have to say though I still don't get why they didn't just make this a user selectable option. Pick the default volume to adjust or leave it as context sensitive.
For some of us the phone is still a device for phone calls first and everything else second!
All the best
Michael
