On my last phone it had the option to make it so you can have them at the same volume, so hitting the volume rocker would set them both. Was wondering if theirs anyway to do that on this phone, the current way of setting it is kinda tedious.

Ive already asked that once somewhere else i think an never got a responce, but id like to know that as well. Its dumb to not have the option to tie them together in one slider!
While adjusting your volume, click the icon beside the slider.
You will now have 3 sliders. One for ring, media and notifications.

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.
Hey all,
I am coming from an EVO 3D which had CyanogenMod 10 with JB 4.2. When I pressed either of the volume rockers, the volume bar would pop up with the option to change all 3 volume settings, ringer/media/alarm.
On my nexus 5, I had to set up a shortcut for Sound Settings in order to change all 3 volumes. Am I missing a shortcut or easier way to adjust all 3 volumes? When I currently press the volume rocker, it only lets me change the volume for the ringer (or media if I'm playing music/games).
Thanks!
In the Settings hit Sound and then Volumes.

Try actually reading the OP before you reply next time.
I really miss this option as well. I know some custom roms on my GS3 used to have an option make that sound bar expandable or always expanded.

Actually, shaneledford understood exactly what I was asking. I was just asking to see if there was a way to enable this volume setting.
Too bad Google didn't catch on to this neat little shortcut.
This issue drives me up the wall. Anyone knows a way to quickly adjust volumes without digging through the settings I would greatly appreciated.

The other day I adjusted my volumes all to around 80% via the sound and notifications options. A couple of days ago, I noticed that my ringer is muted (the bell shows a diagonal line through it with the volume slider all the way to the left). If I tap on the ringer icon, nothing happens. If I try to slide the volume slider with my finger, it does not react. If I try to adjust it using the volume buttons, nothing happens. The other two volume sliders - alarms and media - work fine. I have DND turned off. I can't figure out why I can't turn my ringer back on. Anybody have any ideas?
Notification slider maybe ?

Above the power button you have a slide button.
It has 3 modes
Top- mute all, no vibrate
Middle- mute sound and vibrate only
Bottom - regular, all sound and vibrations. (this is where u want to have it if you want sound)
Thank You Whizeguy

Got it. Thank you so much. Really thankful.
I'm having the same problem but my slider won't work but I can't unmute my phone
I was having the same problem and didn't know it until I went to a web site that sends an sms. I had to restart the phone to turn ringtones back on.

Thank you so much, I totally forgot about that switch and was getting very frustrated till I read this response.
Thank you so much! I too was having trouble with mine and had not idea what was meant by the slider bar until you said it was above the on/off switch. Much appreciated!

OnePlus7pro ringer muted.
You've got to be kidding lol
I've been walking around for 3 days without my ringer working and it was just the slide button!
Good grief, i must be dumber than a box of rocks?
Shout out to the guy that took the time to answer our dumb question.
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

Hi guys how's everybody. The Mate 30 Pro one of the phones that is in my list for my future flagship. It had most of the things I think a phone like that should have BUT they removed the damn volume buttons and it is a bit concerning for me. So I have some question...
1 - How easy is it to volume up and down? Does it fail a lot to recognize your double touch?
2 - Is there anybody like me that usually control the volume with the phone in the pocket? How is it for you to now remove the phone from your pocket all the time?
3 - is there a way to hide the volume panel?
Thanks for the attention guys
I expected it will be worse. You can change volume level on both sides of phones. Of course you can't do this in pocket, but... When you listening to music, you have control in headphone buttons, bluetooth headphones also allow control volume. Good thing is You can change easy volume when you call to someone. You tap twice and side panel of phone changes to slider - you no need see screen to adjust volume. I think buttons are of course better, but i can live without them It's not big problem for me.
I quite like them, actually...I'm left handed so it is nice to be able to change the volume on the left of the phone...and on the right if I happen to have it in that hand.
..similarly for the 'back' gesture - it works on both left and right edges and is very convenient, IMO.
I do still, sometimes, have to try twice, to get the volume slider to come up, but I suspect I'll get it right 100% soon enough (I've only had it a week or so).
