ICS Google music volume only changes in app? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running kwiboo ICS, has anyone noticed the volume of currently playing music only changing when in the music app? Is this a new default for ICS?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I have seen that in all the ICS roms ive tried. Have to go into settings > sounds > volumes to change it. Frustrating for sure

yeah, me too.
in audible they do not work at all for me. as long as this does not work, the ics roms are no good for daily use

BM's ROM has the decent music app which integrates flawlessly in the system. It integrates on the lock screen and in the notifications bar. As far as I know, the volume buttons worked just fine.
It might've been Koush's as well, I kinda alternated back and forth between them for testing, but surely one of them work.
So no, it's not going to be a standard feature in ICS, just a poor implementation for the time being.

Tasker - A great App

Hi all,
Just came across this app and think its fantastic and so wanted to let you all know about it, don't want to start a new thread as such so here are some links:

It allows you to create tasks depending on certain actions that happen in your phone...
Tried it, very powerful. But i have to say i prefer "setting profiles". It might lack some of the options of tasker, but is a lot more user-friendly.
I automated turning on wi-fi and sounds when i get home, go silent and turn bt and wi-fi off at work, and turn on bt, gps, sounds and navigon with a single button when i get into my car.

Is anyone having problems with this app under X10 Gingerbread? I've tried it with stock Gingerbread and MIUI, and tasker does not execute the tasks, although it sure thinks it does.

gs3 verizon aokp

Hello,
First let me say thanks for all the amazing roms and for making my device a 100 times better. I am running the second instalment of the xoom dev aokp (now official!) i see that is supports Long press volume to change songs when the screen is off, however i cant seem to get it to funciton. I found the setting that enables screen wake w/ volume keys but not to change songs... i also dont see a native music player so i am using google music. Please help. any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks again.
CM10 has that very same feature and it works perfectly fine on my VGS3. I know AOKP has more features and mods then CM10 (so i've heard) but if you're looking for that specific feature then why not go with CM10. This is just a confirmation that the volume rocker track skip feature is definitely working on the rom i'm using (CM10). Just thought I'd let you know. The version I'm using is Here

the thing is, i love the ROM I'm on Beantown jellybean build 8 to be precise, and volume up to skip is a feature of that ROM. I think it is a great feature.
I did another mod to include acid sound enhancements and have lost the volume rocker mod. I was hoping I could add the volume rocker mod back in manually to try and get both.
Is it not possible to add the mod on its own?
Flashlight apps make AOKP for Verizon GS3 reboot
Hi.
First of all, thanks to the developers of AOKP for making this terrific ROM.
I installed it 5 days ago, and have had only 1 issue: if I install, and then try to use a flashlight app, it causes the GS3 to reboot.
I tried it with 3 different flashlight apps that I had successfully tested on the GS3 when it was unrooted with the OTA 4.1.1 ROM update; and, with the 4.1.1 rooted stock ROM.
Those apps are
Flashlight: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...me.ledflashlight.washer&feature=search_result
TESLA LED Flashlight: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.flashlight&feature=search_result
Flashlight HD LED: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.smalltech.ledflashlight.free&feature=search_result
I have already done a factory wipe, cleaned the regular and Dalvik caches and re-installed each app fresh.
Despite this, the flashlight problem persists.
I always make a lot of use of my smartphone flashlight; so, this is a huge inconvenience.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, in advance!

Alarm clock sound issue [JellyTime CM10 R15.0]

Hi guys, I just flashed the JellyTime CM10 rom by BlindnDumb and I had the same problem as with the new one by Flinny. There are almost no bugs except when the alarm goes off there's no sound.
I see everyone on the Developers forum talking about sound fixes and speaker fixes but I can't seem to find them. Other than this issue there's no problem with it (almost) and I really can't go back to sense after trying Jelly bean.

I have no problem with youtube videos or local video playing, I don't even have to change dev settings.
All other sound works perfectly (notifications, ringtone, speaker in general) It's only the alarm.
And when I reboot the keyboard settings reset. (have to turn on smart keyboard)
[EDIT] It looks like 3rd party alarm apps don't work either for me.
Have you tried alarm volume complete down and than up again.

Alarm & MMS not working
I have tried CM R15.0 as soon as it was released. Alarm and MMS (on 3G network) is not working. I see alarm is properly triggered but no sound. For MMS, I can send MMS while I am on wifi netowork but cannot on 3G mobile network. Other than these issues, I didn't find any problem so far.

is this a permanent workaround, or do I have to do it after everytime it decides to ring?

I may be having a separate issue then. I'm using alarm apps (doubletwist, alarmdroid) that plays a playlist of songs. Here's the problem, when the alarm is supposed to ring, it doesn't, the apps FCs, both of them. Magically, it works some days and not others. Been to work a few days late because of that.

I am running into the same issue on a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I have narrowed it down to Jellybean not liking me using my mp3 file (that I have used since eclair) as the alarm clock ringtone. It will use the defaults fine, but when I try to select my .mp3 file I get an "Activity Media Storage" isn't responding FC. This happens on multiple clock apps.
If you can'd find any solution you can try a third party specialized software like Alarmdroid

[Q] Headset button changed function, can't find fix!

I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket and inserted ArmyVet AOKP ROMand everything was fine until today for some odd reason whenever I use the single button headset instead of changing, pausing or playing it increases the volume. I cannot find the reason nor the app that is causing it. Don't want to go through the long process of testing each app. anyone experienced this before or knows the app or solution?

The single most ridiculous thing about stock Android.

The notification and call volume are the same. It has been the case ever since ICS and the only way to over come the issue is to use a custom rom, even rooting doesn't do anything to over come it.
I always sleep with phone on silent but I have started missing important unknown calls and was thinking that I should just keep my notifications silent when sleeping. So how do I do that on a nexus? Well I can't lol. Even if I select silent ring tone for notifications in the settings some apps like whatsapp have their own notification tone setting and will over ride whatever you have selected in settings. So basically I need to change the setting for every app everyday lol.
Now with iOS 6 even iPhone gives you higher control over notifications than stock Android. In the day of increased push services and what not a smartphone really needs to offer robust control over all this.

"Stock" on a SIII would mean TouchWiz, wouldn't it?
He means completely stock Android.

Yea i was just about to say it's probably just a different Android version well as the dude said previously there is probably an app for that or if you dig around you might find a flashable audio control tweak.

Elixir 2 lets me unlink the notification volume from the ring tone volume. I use this on my stock Galaxy Nexus (mine is rooted, not sure if that is required for this function in the app).

He already said that making the phone silent made him lose important calls. He sure doesn't want it to be switched off
I used an app called volume control in the past to control notification and ring tone volumes individually. There's a free version on the play store. Give it a try

Solution to every problem out there. Go spend that $6. It's totally worth it.
I think a much bigger problem with vanilla android is the lack of a T9 dialer. This is one of the most useful and important features on a phone for me and i don't think there's any way to fix this without a custom ROM.
I wish google would just add this and get it over with. I see no reason why they haven't already done so.
i have no idea if the stock from has this feature but im running paranoidandroind 2.54 on my gnex and there is a option to link ringtone and notifications together or have them separate. But even before using this rom i remember when you go to setting->sounds->Volume you can change ring and notifications separately.

I agree; Android definitely needs better sound/LED notification controls. For an OS so heavily invested in "personalization," it certainly lacks any here But oh wait, the Android fanboys and Google nuthuggers say its fine, so I guess it must be, right?

there's ton of apps that let you "personalize" sounds and led notifications if you just look for them in the play store not to mention the countless roms that include these features. no need to start insulting people because of your ignorance.

You can get t9 with third party dialor you don't need custom rom or even root for that. I use touch pal contacts its a brilliant app and you can theme it as well. The best thing about android is that you can change default system apps.
And people I have used several profile applications but all of them are riddled with bugs. The more powerful an app is the more bugs it seems to have. And some of those bugs can be so severe its not even funny. Like one of these apps "profile scheduler" would sometimes disconnect my network after a phone call lol wut.
However of course I am not giving up I am searching for apps that can unlink the notification and ring tone volume and seems like some of the devs have been able to do it now.
I am rooted btw so I will look into the recommendations put forward by a few posters.

Because Samsung was never stupid enough to link the notification and ring tone volume. Bleh android oem's can be good at times lol.
I am also amazed at the blocking mode in jelly bean galaxy S3. I would like to see Samsung add profiles to blocking mode but in any case it trumps every other phone in terms of the sheer control it gives you. I have realised it really is better for such critical features to be built in instead of using an "app".
